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.
