  • Gore end cap for the snow leopard tail. This was my first time doing satin stitch and I’m really pleased at how smooth I got most of it.

  • A good trick to sewing long pieces is to sew one side to the end, then flip and sew the other side to the end. This prevents the warping that can happen when you sew all in one go. Need to get more materials to finish this off with a nice weighted tail tip and…

  • Got all the rosettes into the tail and have cut ‘n’ clipped the rosettes for the other tail half. There’s still some smaller solid spots to sew in after the rosettes, and I think I’ll have to do some fur trimming to really highlight the dark outlines. But looking good so far!

  • Sat down over the weekend to sew some rosettes. They weren’t as obnoxious as I feared they would be, plus they’ve come out great!

  • Partners jackalope mask cut & hinged. Now Māui is helping me to file out the nose/eyes.

  • Progress! The entire back of the suit is completed. The front needs the side zipper installed before the top gets sewn to the bottom, then both halves will be joined and finished.

  • I’m going to sew up the legs of the suit first. I spent literally the whole morning tracing out the pieces, cutting, and clipping.

  • Finished feetpaws. Pattern by Kemocube on etsy, with the modifications of claws and padded lining. These are super comfy and squishy! Would be great for a partial fursuit/costume or even as indoor slippers.

  • Finished set of 5 finger paws; steel blue fur, ivory fox fur, ivory minky claws, & black minky pads with a printed cotton lining. I’m really pleased with how these came out. Materials are all locally sourced, paw movement modelled by my partner. As these were an experiment I don’t really have a use for…
