As my first DIY tutorial “Miraculous Shoe Multiplication” rather aimed at summer shoes, now I focus on the “Shearling Trend”, which fits perfectly into the cold season.
Whether on jackets, caps or boots – the sheepskin can be seen now at many parts. Actually, I’m not much of trends, but with the “Shearling Trend” I have become weak. First, because I already have bought some parts in this style and secondly because it really is something that not only looks good but also keeps warm. A perfect winter trend, so to speak.
And the best part: The cuffs are removable and can thus be used on various booties and shoes.
For this DIY tutorial you need:

1 faux fur coat in lamb-style
2 sewing kit
3 snap fastener
4 pins
5 measuring tape
6 scissors
7 marker
8 ruler
– also a clothes cleaning roller
THE DIY TUTORIAL

TIP: By using a clothes cleaning roller you can remove the tufts of fur, which I recommend especially for the cut and sewn parts.
From the sheepskin imitation cut two at least 32 centimeters long and centimeters wide pieces, turn it over for 7.5 centimeters (from left to right) and fix with pins.
Now with white thread loosely sew together in a distance of 1 centimeter above the ending by constant intervals. This step isn’t necessary, but it looks better.
Mark the positions of the snap fasteners (two buttons per cuff) and attach them. FINISHED!
I only had snap fasteners for sewing, but my next purchase will be “Non-Sew Buttons” ( here at Amazon ).
The look of the finished fur cuffs. Not really sexy, I know;).
The fur cuff gets placed over the booties.
DIY TUTORIAL – THE FINAL RESULT
For the Christmas time:
Even with Mary Janes the fur cuffs look quite nice:

I just made the lace collar, and am so happy with how it has spruced up a simple T-shirt.
In the mean time, I can’t wait to make these shearling bootie socks.
Thank you again for your wonderful blog – which has inspired a new/old New Year’s outfit, just in the nick of time. Happy New Year, and many happy returns!
Happy New Year – as well!
I’m happy to read such a nice feedback.
