The sweeties who adopted my premades have been out & about loads!

When you've been making fursuits for a long time, sometimes you never get to see them again. So, I'm very thankful for these lovely folks giving these beasties so much love & life!

My cat is due to go for surgery next Thursday.

I've gone into more sewing detail of my front stitch applique method but the full tutorial is on my IG. Some of the prep is explained there which is why I speak about using a smidge of water to help keep fur out of the seam...with no context it sounds wild haha

Blue and silver dragon fursuiter Doran stands in front of a backdrop of an abandoned mine in the style of the Wild West. He is plugging his ears in alarm as a prop bundle of dynamite flies through the air with a lit fuse.

I did more than just a dance comp at @scotiacon.bsky.social - there were also Shenanigans involving workplace safety violations at the Old Mine...

A silly graphic of Birch, my wolverine fursona gesturing wildly towards the form of a fursuit headbase saying 'show me your suits!', advertising a fursuit maker art share. Rules: show off the suits you've made, repost for visibility, support + hype each other up, keep it SFW

200 SPOTS ✅️

Yup 200 spots and markings are on this bodysuit and this isn't even all the pieces laid out.

It'll be so worth it. But for now I sob for my sanity...and my poor hands 🤣

Ever have a piece from your pattern that doesn't lay flat?

Sometimes, you can either make a cut into a dart, or you may have to separate pieces completely! It depends if a pattern has a convex or concave shape!

Usually:

Convex = darts
Concave = separate pieces

Bodysuit pieces are underway ready for prep!

I always label my pieces just so I know what I'm sewing together. With complex designs, it makes it so much easier to keep track of all the pieces, big and small!

Follow up video for #fursuitfriday

My personal approach to a variation of appliqué and how I intend to use this technique on the bodysuit I'm working on.

It's a bit long, but stick with me for results and reasonings!

Did you know you can just applique markings like with pawpads?!

Well, you can!

Did I film myself notching and separating pattern pieces for ten minutes just for content. I guess I'm that guy now lol 😆 a much longer 10x speed clip is on my insta!

I'm being more meticulous than ever with this bodysuit, I'm going to get the spots and markings CRISP 🙏

BAP!

These 5-digit paws are my very own pattern & they're extremely bappa-boppable!

This set is for the serval dragon that's in the bodysuit prep stage from my recent posts, just about to start the long process of removing the pattern from the DTD and prepping all that fluff!

Lots and lots of spots for this serval dragon. My hands may regret this but it's also going to look so FIRE when it's finished!
