I am a little upset tbh! After sewing the same piece incorrectly twice, I thought I had it the correct way round That was, of course, until I realised the entire piece was in the wrong place I so badly need to get better at labelling my patterns

And we have a fan! Current install isn't permanent, I need to grab hook and loop (Velcro-branded, maybe? :P) so that the battery box stays in place but is removable for easier cleaning The fan itself pushes into place and can be removed relatively easily just by pulling downwards

Don't look a gift horse in the- hmm Really quite happy with this one so far! Currently trying to convince the client to let me put a fan in that massive nose

One of these days I'll get myself a sewing machine and then I'll be unstoppable

A horse, of course! Are those meant to rhyme? Those don't rhyme in my accent

Aaaand I've already had to take a break since my glue gun needs charged Ideally I'd be using a corded one but with my current space I just don't have enough plug sockets free

This is the drink that's getting me through the stress of trying to understand horse teeth It's so good, I need to find more

Working on a new commission for a friend! It's going to be a horsey, which means I need to research horsies Their mouths are weird huh?

I'd be more than willing to do a fursuit trade in exchange for Pokémon cards btw

Little more progress today, both sets of bottom teeth are now done, I just have one more set of top teeth to do Fun fact! Sergals have 12 teeth, 6 on top and 6 on the bottom, and they're all along the side of the mouth, none at the front

I always forget just how much I love sewing when I'm not working with large garments or stretch fabrics Getting back into the swing of things! Not yet sure if I want to show more progress pics or wait until I'm finished though :>

Working more on the sergal today! I can't lie I get so stressed out when shaving fur real short, but with the CityMutt bases I think it's the way to go!

I couldn't fit the second, much longer tongue in frame :P This is making me want to do one that's multiple feet long at some point!

Progress on Sova V2 is slow but sure! Shown here is her magnetic removable tongue, I'm currently working on a second, longer, sillier one too

Sometimes fursuit making is excitedly gluing the finishing touches onto a headbase And sometimes it's whatever this is. If it works it works though!

The hardest part about fursuit making is wanting to make 100000000 characters but only having the money and time for 1 or 2

I'm so happy with how this head is going! I just need to paint the iris and pupil then I can glue the eye pieces together :> The eyelid only needs fur and eyeliner which is an easy job

First time messing around with magnets in forever, I like it! :>

Working out the sorta shape I want for the eyeliner (haven't worked out the piece around the eye yet though!) and this feels pretty good to me I could airbrush or use black fur instead but I don't think it would give me the crisp edge I'm after

Testing out welding mask headgear to hold the sergal base onto my head, and it's incredible how well it works So much nicer than trying to use a cut-up cap like on V1

Gosh this base is a DREAM to work on!!

Burning that midnight oil!

Crying a little because the fur I need is out of stock ;;

IT'S HERE My absolute dream base from CityMutt has arrived in Scotland safe and sound! <3

BAM here's one!! Still needs a neck and for the left ear (in the photo) to be glued down properly, but I'm so happy with my progress so far

Hmm... Y'know I haven't posted a WIP photo in a while

It took very little time for me to burn myself with my glue gun, and not just a small ouchie ;v;

We're on the final(ish) stretch my friends! Finished sewing the head, and now it's time to glue everything into place After that it's just a case of doing the neck which shouldn't take too long

Oh and I got myself a nicer glue gun, because I needed a nicer glue gun than the £15 Amazon special I had before
