A fews hours work on the parasaur paws. I must say that being able to do large parts of these on the sewing machine due to the minky really sped up the construction.

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.

Completed snow leopard tail. This is huge (148cm) featuring a gore cap and weighted tip. Rosettes are all hand sewn and has detail trimming to show these off.

Started work on the wings portion of the fursuit project. K’rahmyteh has smallish, stubby wings akin to a kakapo. These feathers were designed via a combination of sketching out a full sized wing using a photoshoped me with kakapo wings, sketching out the individual feathers, then modifying #SunnybrookOne’s raven wing feather pattern to match my…

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.

More work on the feetsies! I carved out the toe shapes using the dremel and sanded smooth, before using my gas stove to heat seal the foam again. Claws were made from apoxie sculpt, sanded, and glued into the toes. Hot glue is along the toe bottoms as an extra safeguard against toe tears, and…
