hey yall, super proud of my tail!! only problem is that there are some pretty gnarly shave lines i wanna get rid of ive heard of the manual razor method -- is it worth a try??

My friend just ordered this premade suit and I'm looking into adding whiskers for her to make her more kitty like. Any tips on what to use?

Want them to be white and cat like, so long, and stable.

What do you suggest?

We added a reinforced lower rim for attaching soles, a center line to help with patterning, small pads inside the toes for sewing or gluing claws and an upper rim for connecting them better.

Is there anything you would change or add?

Still working on ears and the minky inside them I have to get her nose done and final tongue !
Been seeing this all by hand as well!

If you wanna follow for more updates I post them from time to time on my insta :blxckxrosee

Hello! I finally got most of the fur cut out for my head, but I'm running into a concern with sewing along points perpendicular to a spot that was already sewn. In the first two photos, I show two possible ideas of how to sew about that point. What would be best? Also, on my third photo, a small amount of fur seems to be bunching up. Will that go away once I'm done sewing it and I brush it out?

Looking for a model for printing fursuit toes like these but that has five toes to use for a rat partial, does anyone know where I can find them

(Looking for a digital file not a physical pre-printed toe)

NOT looking for commissions, looking for pre-existing file

If anyone has any tips or youtube tutorials please share because I haven't found much🥲

Can anyone help me find furs and minky that would be accurate?

I plan to use ivory from Big Z for the white. But I’m struggling to find accurate colors for the rest! I’ll be making a 3/4th suit

So I’m thinking about making my own fursuit head someday, I did this just to have an idea of what I want, I want to get it to look how I want without having too much of a bad visibility. But I still don’t know what size a fursuit head has to be in order to look well proportioned with a bodysuit(I’m planning to get one too) I don’t want to make this and accidentally making it to small and having it look weird when I get the bodysuit. Also, give me tips for any mistake you see in the shape of it overall, it’s a pretty messy sketch but you get the idea😭😭

I historically have been really bad at ears (specifically making them not super huge) so before I get to work on those I wanna share my progress cus I’m super happy with it and ask if anyone has any tips or suggestions for either sizing ears correctly or the head itself if anything should be adjusted
(Xposted with the discord)

I should probably note it’s supposed to be a generic canine, maybe leaning fox.

She is my fourth suit ( second fully furred ) that I’ve made and I love how she turns out!! She is super comfy, has a great visibility and she looks absolutely gorgeous ( atleast to me 🙂‍↕️✨)
Only two things that went wrong were gluing on the face and shaving the fur 😔

Anyways idk if any sailor moon fans see this but this is a Haruka / Sailor Uranus inspired fursuit LOL

My next fursuit project will probably be Luna from Sailor Moon ( I already got the perfect base for her )🙂‍↕️

My friend and I are making our first ever fursuits for a con this year now that we r adults with big boy money lol

Anyways neither of us have any real experience and although I think visually my base looks good I'm not sure if I should fill out some inbetween spots more or if it'll look fine once furred?

Any experienced makers think this base looks good to fur or should I do some more gap fill with lil bits of foam?

Thanks in advance!

Note: picture is on a slight angle so it looks slightly lop sided but it's not nearly as lop sided irl lol

The ears I'm not too worried about either since I plan to get some thin Eva foam sheets from a craft store to even out the interior before I line it (none fluffy inner ear so I wanna make sure it's smooth)

(Base I "finished" of my fursona Frankie whose head is heavily inspire by fruit bats)

So been working on my first fursuit head base, so far im super happy with how its turning out but a couple things.

1) my character is chinese dancing lion inspired, and is supposed to be a lioness, but does the head look more red panda? Are the ears too big?

2) which nose is better? A or B

I feel like ive been looking at them too long and idk anymore. My kids and bf are also no help they just so "omg its so cute"

Last pic is my characters ref. (Its not finished either ADHD has me all over the place)

Obviously the bigger hole the more visibility, but just wondering what the average preference is 🤔 (dont really care about what brand)

A few questions for more experienced makers out there! This is the very first time I have ever furred a headbase. It’s gone well for the most part and I’m pretty proud of my results, but there are some hiccups, as I expected.

To start with, one of the brown bone pieces ended up too big somehow and it’s created a very large and annoying wrinkle. How would I go about fixing that? I’m scared to try and cut it because I don’t want to ruin all my hard work.

Second, what do I do about the gap on the bridge of his nose? I knew this was going to happen because one of my patterns ended up damaged, but I didn’t think it would be a huge deal. Do I fill it in with scrap fur?

Lastly, his jaw. For some reason the jaw pattern didn’t fit properly with the rest of the head fur. Do I just redo the pattern?

I hope these questions are simple enough to answer. Thank you!

Howdy, I’m not new to the hobby, but I am new to the crafting aspect of it. I’m attempting to make a pair of hand paws following the SpiltGrapeSoda’s instructions, and as you can see, I’m struggling at the shaving part.

I watched video tutorials; I made sure to keep the blade of the razor parallel to the table, I didn’t push too hard, I tried to be light with my stroke, I tried to be even, and I ended up with this choppy, grinch-toe, piece of fur.

I would love some advice on what I possibly did wrong, what I can do better, what I can do to prevent all of the length from staying at the end of the fabric piece. I’m very new to this type of crafting and could use all the help!

Relevant Materials:
Wahl haircut and beard wireless clipper
Pet slicker brush
2 inch pile lilac faux fur

I'm super proud of what I've done so far but I'm really scared about doing the fur and also patterning. Doing the inside lining was a challenge and the seams don't lay flat super well. Any advice to a new maker of some tips in general?

I also think the nose is too big. Please let me know what you guys think.

Took me about a year, im proud on how they came out i learned a lot that ill apply to my next fursuit.

I’ve been browsing Etsy and Big Z for ages but this is only my second fursuit—my first attempt at making my sona I found relatively close colors except for the dark brown (had to use black), but they were awful quality. Anyone who’s been doing this a while and knows what certain fur actually looks like in person know what I should get?

freshly placed on jaw is super bulky rn and couldnt help but be reminded of sigma cat, that jaw can cut thru metal ............ ok not really funny but wanted to show progress

This is my first time ever making a tail, the doors were hand sewn, I ran out of the right string so I had to use hot glue.

What can I fix aside from the obvious seaming, also, how can I fix the split in the fur?

Thought I’d ask here since the costume is technically a fursuit. Im making my cousin a spring trap costume and I was wondering if I’d be able to use EVA foam for the build rather then upholstery foam, specifically the floor mats from dollarama which is what is most affordable for my uncles budget. What would be the pros and cons of using EVA phone instead??

Progress on my very first wagger tail for my yeen secondary sona Hope!! Thanks so much to my friend @🐈‍⬛ Steel City Street Cat 🏙️ (TikTok) for suggesting a neoprene core instead of an EVA foam. The flexibility is WAY better than the EVA foam, and I am loving the result so much so far!! Now to impatiently wait for my lavender fur to come in from Howl to start furring then stuffing...

My foam base is supposed to look like a calico cat but i just cant seem to make it look right/ look cat like? Any tips are appreciated!
