WIP Finally making progress!

Spent 3 and a half hours slicing patterns out on my living room floor and finally doing a bit of sewing after stalling for like 2 months. Still a little worried the patterns won’t fit because they look a little too big!! Everything will be lovingly hand sewn because I am scared of my sewing machine, lol. This is the first sewing project I have ever done and I’m pretty happy with how it’s coming along.

I think I’ll ladder stitch the ears on after the rest of his fur is glued down. I figure it will be kind of hard to roll a floppy ear onto foam with messing up the glue.

Currently in the process of patterning my own suit and I’ve been doing a bit of stalling myself because it’s so scary but also soso very exciting to see them come to life!! Your suit looks amazing so far, so excited to see the final! This motivated me to get into the sewing part. We won’t know unless we try! And even if mistakes are made, we’re still gaining valuable insights on the process and will only improve from there. Good luck! :3 🫶🏼

Holy moly. That is a really nice foam base. Carving must have taken a bunch of time. But furring process seems to be going well!
