I’m really digging how nice my new pattern is turning out. Next step is handsewing the paw pads and sorting out the lining.

Testing out my new slim feetpaw pattern. These are all the pieces for a set of lemon & navy paws. I have no need for these so they will be sold upon completion.

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…

Painted up a few more figures during the #SydneyLockdown. First is a windstone kitsune painted to look like an amber marbled fox. Next up are two Churches by Homemade Horrors painted using swamp lemur and poison dart frog inspo respectively.

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.
