The bodysuit is completed! All seams are finished with an overstitch on the edge and double reinforced, except for the shoulders, crotch, and armholes which are triple reinforced. Features hidden side zipper and binding on all raw edges to prevent stretching. Reinforced holes for the tail belt will be added once the body pillow padding…

Installing the zipper on front top panels, on a curve, dealing with ease, was immensely fiddly! I can not overstate that enough.

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.

Finalised the sleeves in prep for fur cutting. The original sleeve was embarassingly too large so I reduced the armhole (old sleeve). This was too small and stretched the sleeve/torso sections. Some slight modifications and I have a sleeve that is tight but not too tight, and doesn’t stretch (new sleeve).

This is a much better pattern! Look at that range of movement, so many wiggles. A few minor tweaks still, but none that will stop me ordering fur now!

Taped up with the new pads and it looks so much better than the first attempt! After cutting the pieces off the dtd, I transfered them onto butchers paper so I could include seam allowance, ensure parts supposed to be straight were, and draft the crotch into the leg pieces properly. I know most makers…

I taped up with the padding and discovered I’d created the dreaded drumstick leg! Oh noes! #FursuitTutorials was excellent in helping me understand what went wrong (knee pads upside down and too small, wrong shaped pads, overstuffing). So I made up some new pads which already look so much better.
