FURSUIT TIP! Thought I’d share how I do paw finger escapes. I sew large button holes to one side of the lining before sewing all the lining together. After stitching the lining to the paw, I then blanket stitch the button hole to the fur. This makes it much cleaner and prevents the escapes fraying…

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.

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.

Patterning up Miwak’s head. I took the forehead rest out to get a closer match to my tiny head dimensions on the Edhead. I also patterned up their footpaw off camera. All ready for fur purchasing now. 😊
-
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.
