Faux Fur Fabric - Synthetic Fur for Fashion and Decor | Fabric Guide

Faux fur, also known as fake fur or synthetic fur, is a synthetic textile that imitates the look and feel of real animal fur. It usually consists of a base of woven or knitted fabric with synthetic fibers like polyacrylic or polyester worked in. This fabric serves as an animal-friendly and cost-effective alternative to real fur.

Properties of Faux Fur

  • Animal-friendly: 100% vegan production without animal components
  • Warming: High insulation capacity from dense fiber structure
  • Easy care: More durable and easier to clean than real fur
  • Versatile: Available in countless pile lengths, colors and patterns
  • Cut-resistant: Hardly frays at edges, but loses fibers when cutting

Uses for Faux Fur

Clothing: Lining for winter jackets or fashion vests
Accessories: Pompoms for hats, scarves or headbands
Home: Cozy blankets and decorative cushion covers
Costumes: Ideal for carnival, cosplay or animal costumes
Pet supplies: Soft linings for dog beds or cat caves

Care Instructions

1 Washing: Usually machine washable on gentle cycle at 30 degrees in a laundry bag
2 Drying: Never tumble dry, air dry flat instead
3 Avoid heat: Do not iron as synthetic fibers can melt
4 Refreshing: Gently brush with a soft brush after drying

Sewing Tips for Faux Fur

Cutting: Only cut from the wrong side with a cutter or sharp blade to avoid cutting the fibers

Pile direction: Pay attention to the direction of the pile when laying out patterns (all pieces the same)

Clean seam allowance: After sewing, carefully pull trapped fibers out of the seam with a needle
