FURRY LEG WARMERS

Sew furry leg warmers in 3 easy steps: 1. Draft pattern  2. Cut fur  3. Sew one seam on each, turn and wear!

Step 1 Trace leg.

 Use craft or butcher paper or if unavailable newspaper will work fine. Trace around the leg, keep foot flexed down to create as staight a front line as possible. You will use this to be your fold line for the pattern.

These are very cute and don't look homemade. I am going to have to make the furry leg warmer version. Thanks for the great tutorial!

Thanks for the comment. I have also made them with a zipper in the back. I did a pair in suede which doesn't give at all, the fur has enough give (a little stretch) to pull on easily...just use an open-ended zipper in the back seam. I put my zip in so it closed at the bottom. That way I could leave them open for a a bit of flare over my boots if needed. Good luck!

Can someone tell me where to get that faux fur fabric? Aside from ripping up a nice stuffed animal I dont know..

I think most local fabric stores should carry some. Also if you search online for faux fur fabric you should find some sites. It can range in price from a few dollars a yard to much more ( I think my price average is $15.00 to $24.00 a yard and I buy wholesale)...the more expensive is often much softer and better quality. Good luck!

Generally any fabric store should have a faux fur selection. I got my "cheetah" faux fur from Hobby Lobby. JoAnn's has faux fur too but if you don't find what you like at the chain stores you can always shop on-line at some of the fabric retailers for a wider variety of colors and types of faux fur.

I have been searching for a tutorial such as this! I originally was just going to cut out two big rectangles but this is sooo much more refined : )

Very nice, clear tutorial. I have some fur that's been sitting around waiting for a project, and this one is it!
