I've designed Santa's coat pattern. It took me a while to figure out how to have a nice fur edge and a neat inside lining, but I think I've got it figured out.
The sleeves need to be made first, so they can be sewn into the coat armhole before all the underarm seams get sewn. I cut out the sleeves, lining, and the fur cuffs, then basted on the trims, and basted the fur, then machine stitched everything. Now I'm doing the bead embellishments....

A closer look at the various rows of trims. It's important when working with velvet, to always baste everything before machine sewing - so things don't ride.
And a closer look at the beading embellishments.
I stay away from the side seams because my sewing machine hates going over bumps.
I'll finish the ends near the seams after the sleeve seam is sewn.
