    Tip: when working with fur, you can cut away some of the fur near the edge for your seam allowance so it’s easier on the sewing machine.

    I feel confident that when I'm ready, making the smaller bits of a fursuit will go well. Or uh even if it doesn't at least itll be fun and feel accomplishing having tried 😄🐺 I looooove watching craft videos, whether it be about fiction writing, making stuff with resin, sewing stuff. I've been dealing with mental health so anything that takes more than a small amount of energy is hard to start but I have a love for so many artsy things. Making a fursuit or two is such a dream goal 🥰😍

    I think I like the foam carving, clingwrap, ducktape method. It seams a lot easier for sawing and getting the exact amount of fur you need but the tail with be one solid peace, it can move but still, it really does depend of the "softness" of the foam

    You can actually use a compass to draw on the fabric to get a perfect circle if you want. It's more accurate than free hand to ensure consistent measurements (especially with that all important seam allowance!). If you don't have a compass you can do the same thing with some string, a pencil held in the centre and a marker at the other end of the string. I learned that little trick the hard way. Measure twice, cut once. That hot glue trick with the zippers? You're my new favourite person. I've been trying to figure out how to do that for ages to make a nice dog pillow that I can toss in the wash.

  • @possumlino
    @possumlino 4 года назад

    this is actually the most in depth tutorial i have ever seen and it’s AMAZING! People say for tails you just need two sides and sew them but it is pretty complicated even though it is just 2 sides. I always have trouble with the way the fur is facing because i forget to draw arrows, so it’s extremely helpful that you added that in! Once i make a tail for my partial i will be sure to use this!

    • @dragonlova7005
      @dragonlova7005 4 года назад

      Allison Arts you can hand sew. My entire tail and head is hand sewn, it’ll just take more time. I recommend double threading seams that’ll have more stress on them (take a long chunk of thread, fold it in half, and knot the part where the two tips meet. Thread it through the needle) it makes your seams stronger ❤️
