We’re ready for gluing. But oh boy, that fro!
-
Because of the glue/knots in the wig, I had to install the zipper by hand. The rip stop zipper backing I was able to pass through the sewing machine, but everything else was secured down with a back stitch. This took aaaaallll day and I am exhausted 😩

I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to realise I can just use the ironing board as a high table, rather than propping the setup on boxes on the dining table and hunching over it. This is high enough that it’s not hurting my back as I do this anymore which is soooo much…
-
Miwak’s finished face, although right now I think it looks more like a luchador mask. All handsewn and preshaved, although I might have to do some more preshaving around the eyes before it heads over to the mask.
-
Started sewing up Miwak’s hood. There were a few minor adjustments to the ear pattern but so far I’m please with how it’s looking.
-
First pieces for Miwak’s hood. Decided this time I would only cut pieces matching the section I’m sewing, so I don’t drown in pieces. So far I’m feeling that this project is manageable.
-
Made up the fur cover for Miwak’s feetpaws. Still have to shave down the toes and set the claws before gluing down to the base.
-
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…

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.
