This week's Historical Sew Fortnightly challenge was "re-do", and although I started a different project for this challenge last week, it sort of crashed and burned at the last minute. So I quickly switched over and made the easiest thing that I could think of - a faux fur muff with an interchangeable cover. This one would qualify for several of the HSF challenges, such as "flora and fauna", "accessorize", "squares, rectangles, and triangles", "gratitude", or "outerwear", but I think the theme that is the most appropriate in this situation was the very first challenge - "starting simple"! The entire project took less than two hours to finish, and now I'm wondering why I didn't make one of these things years ago.
The cover is just a bit of left-over faux fur from another project that I made years ago. Again, I used Katherine's instructions in pt. 2 of the muff tutorial to finish it up. The only thing that I did different was to stitch a cord to the cover so I could carry it by a handle if I didn't want to wear it on my hands. This is something that I've seen in a lot of antique fur muffs, and if I don't need the cord handle, I can easily tuck it back inside of the cover.

Lovely! And the fur is really pretty. Thanks for reminding me of Koshka's tutorial, I wanted to have my own muff for a long time, but had no idea where to begin. I tried it out today and it's truly super simple! Now I'll just have to struggle with the lack of faux fur. I was about to buy some when the lady in the fabric shop told me I'll have to buy the whole 2 yds piece. Duh! I'll be able to sew multiple muff covers out of it.
This is beautiful! Also, the camera pocket is genius :)
I've been wanting to make a muff for a while now.. just never got around to finding the materials. I had a suggestion once to just go to a thrift shop and buy a fur coat so I can spend the least money possible and get enough material for multiple projects!
