I went a bit crazy on webbing reinforcing as I really don’t want the tail sleeve to pull/rip/warp when I attach to the lumbar belt. With all this reinforcement on the weight-bearing seams and pieces, I am confident most sources of failure will be mitigated.

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.

Omg there IS colour variance! I was beginning to worry I was relegated to black…

I am doing a diamond painting as a present for my mum, and I honestly have never had to deal with such a large section of largely unbroken colour before. Keeping all the gems straight has been extremely tedious.

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. 😊

And Miwak’s feet are complete! They have shoes installed inside and they are so comfy to jump around in.

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.
