Faux fur coats are all the

rage this season. Despite
seeming very complex and
using an unconventional
material, this coat is actually
very easy to make. This
project uses faux fur, which
comes in an array of colors
and treatments. The benefit
of using faux fur is that you
get the warmth but no real
animals are used making
this coat.
