Making a fur coat out of a dead animal can be a more costly alternative for those that cannot afford to purchase one off the rack. However, it should also be noted that the decision to kill animals for clothing is opposed by organizations such as People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). Step 1: To make your own fur coat, you much first choose a design that will serve as the pattern for your coat. Although many fabric stores have patterns for fur coats, these are typically for faux fur, which you buy off a bolt. Even so, you can still design what you want your real fur coat to look like using one of these store bought patterns. This will also better assist you to determine how many skins/pelts you will need before you begin. Step2: Obtain the fur and lining. Find fur that will match your skin tone and what you will wear. Go to a fabric store and buy contrasting material to back the fur. Buy the same amount of lining as you do fur, and make it a similar style. If the fur is thick, you'll want a thicker fabric to back it with. Also buy a thread that will match the fabric.
Step3: Match the furs. You will need to match the furs so the color, length, texture and shine are the same, so that the coat's color is even throughout. Although dying furs is an option, it's not recommended.
Step4: Join and sew the pelts. Join the pelts together, match them, trim them to the length you need for the pattern you have designed or chosen. The fur needs to be stretched, shaped and cleaned before you work with it.
Step5: Sew in the lining and complete the final touches, including any pockets, the hem, buttons, etc. Make sure the coat is hanging the way it should and take it for the cleaner's for a final cleaning.
Step6: Step out in style. Now that your coat is ready, go ahead and show off. Be proud and confident that you look great--and that you made it yourself!
