Been busy doing up a basic liner and setting claws. I got lucky & could use one size liner for both paw sizes. Meanwhile, I’m impressed with the pattern which creates a firm ‘pressure fit’ around the claws, so I chose to glue instead of my usual drill’n’sew.

Nyoomed these paw pads through the sewing machine. After I sew these in, I’m forced to wait for the package of accompanying claws to arrive to complete these sets.

Marathon session with lots of accidental stabbing getting all the fingers aligned & sewn. No kidding, this is a finnicky pattern!

Started work on the first foxfire paw commission. This set is bright white with steel blue pads, the claws will be a similar steel blue once they come in.

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.

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…

Finished dinodog comm! This paw & tail set was sooo fun to work on. The 180cm dragger tail features hand-sewn and hand-trimmed spot details, minky spikes, gore end cap detail with hidden belt loop, a detachable wrist strap, and a weighted tip. The paws feature hand-sewn and hand-trimmed spots, appliqué minky puff pads, mixed size…

Labouring away on these spots. One side is completed & the other side’s green spots are clipped in. I’ll have to run some sections through the sewing machine too to reinforce overlapped seams.
-
Taking a slight break from the paws to work on the tail part of this commission. This 180ish cm dragger has 30 total pieces, 20 of them being the spots that will be hand sewn.

Powering away on the paw part of this commission. These are turning out to be the most complicated paws I’ve ever made with appliqué details, cuticles, spots, & escapes!
