Over the weekend I made up 2 husky curl tails (pattern by Eastern Dragon Studios). I only wanted one for my partner, but I couldn’t decide on the colourway so I made two. Still have to finish them off. The one I don’t keep I’ll put up on my Etsy/KoFi stores.

Finished the sashiko cherry blossoms panel. I really like this design, so it’s sad it’s not being produced anymore. This was supposed to be a runner for our TV unit, however after placing it on the unit and doing some calculations it turns out the panel is too big to allow for it to be…

Bought myself a new sewing box. Everything is so tidy now & importantly, I can find all my regularly used tools fast!

Finished commission for egg_exotic on twitter. These have a lot of special features; finger escapes, semi hidden stripe details on paw backs, mitten string with paw liner attachment loop, & hidden deluxe tail belt loop. (my tail caps come with gore caps as standard cause they’re fun)

A set of soft indoor feetpaws made to match a commissioned pair of handpaws created last year. (commission, not for sale)

Miwak’s head is finished! I am soo happy with how they turned out. Sadly, I’ve had several issues with commissioning his bodysuit, so he’s going to have to remain a partial for now until I can sort that out (fingers crossed next times the charm).

I have done the first pass of the haircut. This took several hours as I cut from the bottom up in layers to ensure a nice layered rag style. I’ll come back later to refine the overall shape, add some shagginess into the mane, and do the final shave on the face.

I was asked to show how I attach paw pads. I don’t applique as I don’t think it creates a realistic look. Instead, the pads are completely separate pieces that are made like a pocket, stuffed, then sewn into the fingers of the completed paws.

Gluing down Miwak’s face. It’s easy if you glue in stages and make sure the whole face is centred first, and if hot glue drips on the fur accidentally just wait until it cures then it cleanly picks straight off without damaging the fur. The lower jaw gets glued once I’ve sewed the face and…

Plugging away at this still. I decided to use a hoop this time to see if that prevented the oils from my hands warping the cotton and the conclusion is yes, but it also seems to be speeding up the stitching whilst making it more even as well!
