Have you seen Erica Domesek's blog P.S., I Made This ? It's full of great ideas on how to make items based on runway trends quickly and easily.

Recently she did a video for the Craft Club on Teen.com where she showed how to make this super-cool faux fur vest without sewing a stitch. The vest is very much like the Cirlce Vest I did for Threads 146, except she didn't bind the edges.

For a few tips on cutting faux fur:

Never use a rotary cutter and mat. You'll cut through the fur's fibers and end up with a fuzzy mess on your hands
Trace your pattern on the fur's wrong side
Use scissors to cut through the backing fabric ONLY and not the fur on the right side. The fur pulls apart after being cut with minimal mess.
Never iron faux fur. It will melt the fibers.
