Sewing with faux fur is so much easier than you might think.  Not to mention you can whip up a vest or scarf in an afternoon.  Start by choosing a faux fur:

Rub your hand along the fabric and decide which way you plan on cutting your patterns.  Plan on cutting all of your pattern pieces going the same direction.

From the wrong side of the fabric, trace your patterns with chalk.

Using very sharp scissors, slide the scissors along your chalk mark.  Be careful to only cut the backing, NOT the faux fur.  You can do this by cutting in small increments.

Trim the fur out of the seam allowances.

Pin the seams together, stitch your seams.  You might need to comb out the faux fur of the sewn seams.  Open the seams and hand tack the seam allowances open.  You can hide the stitches or use an embroidery thread for a decorative look.
