At Vikileria Revive, we believe that sewing is not just a skill, but a form of expression and creativity. Our in-person sewing classes are designed so that anyone, from beginners to advanced, can transform ideas into unique garments.
In this article, we share our new project: a fur vest, perfect for learning professional pattern transformation, cutting, and basting techniques.
How to make a fur vest: step by step
The process of making this vest is divided into several steps, and you will find each of them in videos available on our WhatsApp channel “Needle Stories” and on the Vikileria Revive Club Instagram. (@vikileria_revive).
Transformation of the base pattern
In the first video, we show you how to adapt the basic pattern to achieve a modern, custom-fit design.
You’ll learn to work with the pattern precisely and make professional alterations for a personalized result.

Basting and fitting the garment

This process allows you to adjust details before the final sewing, achieving a professional finish.
