Make Fake Fur (String Method Hand Sewing Only)

This is a bit faster then by sewing machine!

Posted by EstherC

OK the main photo IS the same one as in the by sewing machine way, but the Results are so close it does not matter.

OK just like the other method you need a flat bar as wide as you want your fur to be long.

You tie it at the top and wrap around the bar...
2

Keep wrapping it as long as you wnat your fur, and if you need it longer then that you can start sewing this down and then slide it part way off and wrap some more and keep stiching...
3

Same as with the other method you use a botton whole stich on every loop of the thread the only diffrence is you Stich through the fabric where you want the fur.
4

the stich goes under a loop of the string and through the fabric, it makes a loop of thread
5

you go back through the loop and then pull that tight. For ever loop of string.
6

it leaves a tight line of stiches at the top.

-sliding the bar out of the loops gets hard the more of it you have covered.

I would do about an inch and move it down a bit then do another inch.
7

when you reach the end of where you wnat the fur, pull out the bar, leaving the threads long so you can tie them
8

tie the thread to the sting to make sure both are secure.
