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…
-
Comm progress. I’m really liking how the different fur textures are interacting on this piece. I also had to handsew parts as the furs are so thick my machine refused to take it along some seams.
-
Finished husky tail. Pattern used was from EasternDragonStudios. The black tail will be for sale in my Etsy/KoFi stores. The white tail is my hugsbands and is not for sale.

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.
-
Down to the final segments. These are reinforced with interfacing on the top, sides, and collars which are the weight-bearing surfaces and will have webbing sewn down them to support belt attachment. Thinking of going back to put interfacing on the tops of segments 4 and 5 as well so that I can extend that…
-
Homeward stretch of the bonetail. The last 2 sections have to be completed separately as I need to reinforce them in the machine before connecting to the main sleeve. Here you can see the side seam to close, and pins marking a shaping dart to be sew into each spine.
-
Progress on Miwak’s bone tail. I have the first 3 segments mostly sewn up before running out of thread, so waiting on more supply now. And a test fit for segment 3 where you can see the open seam that will allow me to wrap the whole tail in the sleeve before puppet stitching it…
-
It is becoming increasingly apparent that this is not a tail I ever wish to remake. First pic is the pieces for the first 2 segments, took about 2 hours to extract. Finally, 3 days and multiple cuttings sessions later, I present the rolls of pattern. 😵💫

This has taken literal days to pattern and patterning isn’t completely finished yet! It’s the most complex thing I’ve made to date.
