FURSUIT TIP! Claw cuticles are pretty easy to do. You just cut the end of your claw pattern to the length of your cuticle & cut 2 for each side. Sew all the side seams then pin inverted onto the stuffed claw where the cuticle starts & sew down. Flip the cuticle down then attach…

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.

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. 😊

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.

Jackalope feetpaws made using #FurSmoothie’s pattern. They have shoes inside, and some extra squish under the soles as the shoes are just basic canvas slip-ons. I am quite impressed with this pattern, totally changed my mind about gluing as opposed to carving foam. Might smooth out the hock hump but otherwise ready to fur.

It is becoming increasingly apparent that this is not a tail I ever wish to remake. First pic is the pieces for the first 2 segments, took about 2 hours to extract. Finally, 3 days and multiple cuttings sessions later, I present the rolls of pattern. 😵💫

After seeing how well check padding worked on Miwak, I decided to add some to the Jackalope, and wow! So much better now! Also installed the eyes and eyelids, and attempted to fix the rubbing on the upper tooth (but it hates me).

Miwak’s headbase is largely completed. No eyelids yet as still need to hook up the leds. I am also loving how well this fits me; it doesn’t slip at all & the jaw movement is partially kinetic with the slack taken up by the springs
