Finished some pre-made paws. The fur is super dooper soft and each paw has a right/left label

Finished set of 5 finger paws; steel blue fur, ivory fox fur, ivory minky claws, & black minky pads with a printed cotton lining. I’m really pleased with how these came out.

Completed puffy paws modeled by my partner. For my first pair of ‘proper’ paws I’m very pleased how they turned out, despite having some minor flaws. I learnt so much and now I’m going to make my own pattern for 5-finger paws and experiment with installing finger escapes.

Puffy Paw construction Pt 2 Combo of machine sewing (claws, toes) and hand sewing (insetting claws) resulting in complete top paws. The bottoms are ready for the beans and pad to be inset into the paw.
