I really wanted to hone in on detailing fur lengths and truly trying to make them as seamless as possible! For my feetpaws I use the @/spiltgrapesoda 2.0 slim digi pattern with a few alterations to the internal structure and how they're finished (love their work!)

You know, sewing heavy duty fabrics like faux fur for almost 10 years really comes in handy when you need to fix your couch!

One single claw will take me about 15mins...and that's being generous. So, 8 claws x 15 mins = 120 mins 2 HOURS it took to get these all on! It's a good thing I love my job!

Should also note that I ladder stitch around the circumference of the base of the claw twice for stability and strength

These liners are for the feetpaws I'm working on. I usually create my own padded soles using thick interfacing between two bits of quilted broadcloth

Embroidery without an embroidery machine! Wish I had one though! Sewing up claws today and lots of sewing feetpaw fur, which I didn't film because this took 30mins condensed to 40 seconds haha

Time to cut off all the excess around the base! This 45 second clip took about 25mins to do. There's honestly so much hidden things about fursuit making that you don't even think about, it's not all fur and foam, there's so many processes and skills you need to do this job

Fursuit pricing again? At this point we're just feeding the trolls and our time is better spent proudly flexing our hard earned skills, knowledge and community we've built. Whenever this discourse comes up we should ignore or show off our work to mog the f out of these posts

I don't understand making public posts complaining about fursuit prices and saying they're not worth it for one reason or another. You basically blacklist yourself from any maker, big or small, that stumbles upon it.

My total taxable income from fulltime fursuit making was 19k last year. I then paid 9k in taxes. 35k was business expenses, materials, consumables, etc. Heads alone take me about 80-100 hrs. I completed 8 heads and 1 refurb last year. Anything for attention I suppose. 🤷🏻‍♀️

FELLOW FURSUIT MAKERS! I'm desperately trying to colour match a discontinued fur. 9AJ "Red" from Futrasztuczne, is a really deep hot pink, not red. I've not found a shade that's remotely close. Looked at Howl, BigZ, MieMieFur & others... Any suggestions are SO welcome!!!
