Things You'll Need

Instructions

1

Measure the inside edge of your jacket's hood to determine the length of fur or faux fur fabric you will need. Add an additional inch to each end of the measurement for a seam allowance.
2

Measure and cut a strip of faux fur fabric that is at least 5 inches wide and the length you measured, with the additional seam allowance. For example, if your hood measured 24 inches from one seam to the other, you would need to cut a 26 inch long strip of fabric. If you want a wider fur ruff, then you'd want a wider strip of fabric. The finished ruff will be approximately half as wide as the initial piece.
3

Fold the fabric in half lengthwise with the wrong side facing out. Sew the long edges together with a straight stitch, using either a sewing machine or a needle and thread. Leave 2 inches on both ends unsewn.
4

Trim the ends of the sewn fur to a taper, with the point on the folded side. Turn the fabric tube so that the fur faces out using a chopstick or dowel to push the tube right side out. Pull out any fur that was caught in the seam with your fingers and fluff it up.
5

Pin the faux fur tube to the edge of the hood with the sewn seam facing in toward the hood. Pin the loose ends of the tube closed.
6

Sew the faux fur tube to the hood by hand using a straight stitch along the line made by the pins. Sew the ends of the fur closed as well, and use extra passes to secure the corners to the hood. Tie off your thread and trim any excess threads.
