Starting the last major project for the year … NazFx’s shiba plush pattern! These are the 43 pieces of the plush pattern, but since I don’t have an embroidery machine, there are going to be more pieces cut for the face and paw details.

Thought I’d show how I get the custard drip effect on the christmas pudding candles. It takes a lot of patience to get a nice thick coat.
-
More work on the frog paper tole. I’m gonna try to pull out some extra pieces not in the pattern to build out the forelimbs better than the pattern suggests.

Completed commission for a returning client.
The furs were carefully matched to the handpaws I made for the client last year. The tail features my signature gorecap with hidden belt loop. Paws have a comfy foam inner sole.
-
Started up another paper tole decoupage. This one already has lots of foamcore supports under the large base layer pieces.

Ok, so there is something really funky going on with the neck and shoulders. But my brain is fried because it’s the end of the year so I’m finding it hard to work out what to edit. I’m going to set this aside to figure out in the new year school holiday period, possibly also after I acquire a tailors mannikin.

Finishing off the parasaur tail. I wasn’t too sure about the plum colour, but with everything sewn up I think it works really well with all the other tail colours.

The only photos I took of the production process for these. The purple fur was so permeated by febreze scent I just focused on sewing fast & accurately so I wouldn’t have weeks of exposure, as would be usual, as usual washing/natural deodoriser tricks didn’t work. The products have been sun aired for several days as well to attempt to get the smell out. At least now I know I am capable of ‘rush orders’ even though I’ll never offer that service 😆

Kettle has been hard at work preparing for Christmas. He still has to add the glaze to the puddings & tidy the pinecones.

Finally got around to finalising my draft for my #omfd yellow robe. These are the pieces for a test sew. I’m going to be using expensive fabrics to make my #ofmd styled morning gowns so I want to make sure the pattern works first!
