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.

These were some commission paws I finished off a while back. The brown set featured rare & discontinued grizzly fur, custom mustelid pads, and cuticles. The white set (modelled by my hugsband) featured hidden finger escapes.

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…

Finished K’rahmyteh’s claws. These are super comfy and the dexterity is great despite the claws.
-
And Miwak’s feet are complete! They have shoes installed inside and they are so comfy to jump around in.
-
Sewing the cuticles over the claws. It’s a bit more fiddly work but compared to a bare claw, looks far more professional and realistic.

Whenever you create, modify, or adapt a pattern it’s always a good idea to create a mock-up first. I’m adapting the principals of the FurSmoothie pattern to create a more bear-like foot paw with 5 toes.

Jackalope feetpaws made using #FurSmoothie’s pattern. They have shoes inside, and some extra squish under the soles as the shoes are just basic canvas slip-ons. I am quite impressed with this pattern, totally changed my mind about gluing as opposed to carving foam. Might smooth out the hock hump but otherwise ready to fur.

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. 😵💫
