  • Last part of the collab with @urboros is coming along nicely. The stretch gloves are completed and the thumb/index/middle feature conductive thread so you can still use your phone whilst wearing. The claws were sanded & their sew holes were drilled, making them now ready for paint.

  • Last part of the collab is the bird gloves. I’ve made a set of claws from apoxie sculpt which will be painted to match the skull being made by @urboros. I’ve also modified my personal glove pattern so it’ll fit the average person (rather than abnormally tiny, stubby handed me) with some help from my…

  • Completed commission for a pair of custom foxfire legacy wolf feetpaws.

  • Completely forgot to take photos of the assembly process. You’ll just have to believe me that it had to all be handsewing & was obnoxious. The last step is to give these paws a haircut – I love seeing the difference a trim makes!

  • Finally got an opportunity to do up a pair of feetpaws using the foxfire fantasy legacy pattern. Total number of pieces = 38, took all day to cut & shave.

  • Got all the pads sewn in, lined, & stuffed. I’ve stuffed all the claws but I really want to just attached the ones on the middle fingers to be super reminiscent of bee claws…but I know doing that means it won’t sell well 😔

  • Got a lot done on the bee themed paws. Machined lining/claws/pads, installed & stuffed palm pads, completed side seams, & even did all the finnicky finger web seams (my least favourite bit).

  • First pass of hand sewing on these paws is now completed. Next I need to do the machine sewing of the pads before they can be installed.

  • I’m making up a new paw/tail set for my shop, mainly to get rid of some of the fabric stash. The set is going to be inspired by the Australian blue banded bee. Here I’ve cut all the bits needed for the plush paws.

  • A friend had been wanting a set of my paws for a while but didn’t want to ask because they knew how much work/$$ goes into them. So I decided that would be their Christmas present this year & got them to pick out fabrics from my stash. They’re gonna look sooo cute!
