Nah, the Demiguise can make itself invisible, but isn't invisible all 
the time.  Since invisibility cloaks themselves aren't invisible 
(except when someone's inside them) I hypothise that the pelts aren't 
invisible either and so can be de-haired and spun and sewn into cloaks 
relatively easily.  It maybe however that placing your hand under a 
partially completed cloak (while sewing for example) would render it 
invisible, or maybe the completed cloak needs a charm added to it to 
make it work in the accepted way (ie: for someone in it, not the 
original Demiguise, to make it turn invisible).
