Some more WIP pics of the puffy paws.
-
Completed realistic slimline paws. Both sets were made on commission using FoxFireFantasy’s pattern and their cast claws. The white pair has custom coloured semi-translucent with visible darker quicks. These were super fun to make. Thanks to those who commissioned me, which is what allowed me to finally try out this pattern.

Paw assembly is under way. If you look closely you can see the slits for the finger escapes.
-
A friend had been wanting a set of my paws for a while but didn’t want to ask because they knew how much work/$$ goes into them. So I decided that would be their Christmas present this year & got them to pick out fabrics from my stash. They’re gonna look sooo cute!

Wow, what a difference a trim makes! Left before trimming. Right after trimming.
-
Been busy doing up a basic liner and setting claws. I got lucky & could use one size liner for both paw sizes. Meanwhile, I’m impressed with the pattern which creates a firm ‘pressure fit’ around the claws, so I chose to glue instead of my usual drill’n’sew.

Sewings pads on 3 paws represents 2 full days of work. But these are looking awesome now! Foxfire must have ginormous fingers/ring finger as both me and my husbands fingers ended at around the knuckle joints in these paws, so I’m going to make a simple full liner from sports fabric to slip inside &…

Nyoomed these paw pads through the sewing machine. After I sew these in, I’m forced to wait for the package of accompanying claws to arrive to complete these sets.
-
Marathon session with lots of accidental stabbing getting all the fingers aligned & sewn. No kidding, this is a finnicky pattern!
-
Decided to try to streamline these comms, so I spent a morning completing all the basic seams on the second paw set. Does anyone else think the finger tubes resemble purple cannelloni?
