A commission that I finished using the new feetpaw pattern. These soft indoor paws are universal so can be worn on either foot. They feature long fur on the heels to give the illusion of digitigrade, plush paw pads, and thick foam inserts for comfort.
Appliqué beanz have never really appealed to me as nowhere in nature do you see animals walking around with little seam lines on their feet pads. So I choose to handsew beans onto feetpaw bottoms as I like the nice, clean, realistic edge. It’s a bit more work but worth it!
I’m really digging how nice my new pattern is turning out. Next step is handsewing the paw pads and sorting out the lining.
Testing out my new slim feetpaw pattern. These are all the pieces for a set of lemon & navy paws. I have no need for these so they will be sold upon completion.
FURSUIT TIP! Claw cuticles are pretty easy to do. You just cut the end of your claw pattern to the length of your cuticle & cut 2 for each side. Sew all the side seams then pin inverted onto the stuffed claw where the cuticle starts & sew down. Flip the cuticle down then attach the claws to the paw as normal. (Paw was a commission)
Made up some crochet doorstops for some autumn spoopy season vibes (in Aussie spring) 🍂 🎃 Aren’t they just adorable!
Painted up a few more figures during the #SydneyLockdown. First is a windstone kitsune painted to look like an amber marbled fox. Next up are two Churches by Homemade Horrors painted using swamp lemur and poison dart frog inspo respectively.
FURSUIT TIP! Thought I’d share how I do paw finger escapes. I sew large button holes to one side of the lining before sewing all the lining together. After stitching the lining to the paw, I then blanket stitch the button hole to the fur. This makes it much cleaner and prevents the escapes fraying internally from use. (Paw was a commission)
I went a bit crazy on webbing reinforcing as I really don’t want the tail sleeve to pull/rip/warp when I attach to the lumbar belt. With all this reinforcement on the weight-bearing seams and pieces, I am confident most sources of failure will be mitigated.
Painted up a windstones kitty gryph for my SIL to look like her own kitty. Eyes were handpainted as they weren’t the ones that came with the sculpt.
