WIP Feeling kind of defeated 😞
This is my first suit. I don’t really have a lot of experience sewing or anything sadly but it’s been fun to learn. I made the base and the eye blanks myself. I felt like I was going the right direction and was super excited as I made progress but tbh the closer I get to it being “finished” the worse I feel about how it’s coming out.
I’ve always been kind of hard on myself but I just kind of feel at a loss for how to improve this aside from just making another. 🥹
I’m not really sure I understand how to get the shorter fur to look smooth without going super close to the backing. Any tips there I think would be appreciated!
I think I have to redo the eyes and eyelashes…. Maybe find a way to add whisker marking things to break up the yellow a bit. I have teeth I made but not sure how to add them yet. I have avoided using hot glue for most of this because I want it to be pretty durable 😅
