First pieces for Miwak’s hood. Decided this time I would only cut pieces matching the section I’m sewing, so I don’t drown in pieces. So far I’m feeling that this project is manageable.

Please enjoy this time lapse of the making of Miwak’s paws. Over 13 hours compressed into about 2 minutes.

Feetpaw progress! I’ve set the claws and sewn on one foot bottom. Have to finish up the other one and sew in the lining on both. Sooo close to being finished!
-
So I did end up adjusting the pattern a tad to fix some fur direction issues and account for the back hair tuft now being made from kanekalon rather than long fur.
-
Made up the fur cover for Miwak’s feetpaws. Still have to shave down the toes and set the claws before gluing down to the base.
-
Appliqué beanz have never really appealed to me as nowhere in nature do you see animals walking around with little seam lines on their feet pads. So I choose to handsew beans onto feetpaw bottoms as I like the nice, clean, realistic edge. It’s a bit more work but worth it!
-
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.
-
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.
-
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…

Patterning up Miwak’s head. I took the forehead rest out to get a closer match to my tiny head dimensions on the Edhead. I also patterned up their footpaw off camera. All ready for fur purchasing now. 😊
