Feather fan of the collab tail is completed and ready to be sewn into the main tail section. I chose to appliqué the feather lines to make them stand out more and give a bit more strength for the internal wire that’ll keep the fan nice & stiff.

Progress on the collab tail. This is designed to sit a little bit proud instead of letting gravity pull it straight down. I’m wondering whether to do a simple appliqué back or just a plain back…?

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.

Attaching the lumbar belt involved layering the endcap, sewing down the top webbing to the endcap, sewing the belt to the endcap, then handsewing the bottom webbing to the top webbing internally. A test fit revealed the tail is sitting too high and the belt stitching is too wide causing pulling where my body curves.…
