  • I didn’t like the pattern I use for slim feetpaws and wanted to update it but it was way down my to do list. Thankfully a lovely commissioner gave me reign to do it as precursor to their commission. The silliest part of this process is taping your own foot then having a random foot…

  • 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.

  • Progress on Miwak’s bone tail. I have the first 3 segments mostly sewn up before running out of thread, so waiting on more supply now. And a test fit for segment 3 where you can see the open seam that will allow me to wrap the whole tail in the sleeve before puppet stitching it…

  • Finished K’rahmyteh’s claws. These are super comfy and the dexterity is great despite the claws.

  • 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.

  • Sewing Tip! When sewing spandex areas that will be excessively stretched, remember to also stretch the material when sewing to maximise the impact of the stretch stitch.

  • Little Link is all done. I think I might get him framed in a circular frame, if I can find one.

  • So I procrastinated just a little bit too hard over the week. Will finish this little sprite off over the next few days.
