Summercat Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 So I have this fur. And it takes up a lot of room and space. I've got basic sewing skills, and giving the pieces can (hand) sew a tail. Or probably anything. Any suggestions on what to do with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I've enough fur of a single type for a good suit. That and I don't know how to make one, really.

Also, partials are easy enough! I've never had good luck understanding patterns. But... that WAS before my meds. I should look into that again, if there's any bodysuit and paw patterns :v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misomie Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Why do you have so much fur? I don't even have that much and I make suits (I probably have more in yardage though) XD. I'd say make ear and tail sets. Also, what is that dark brown undercoat with light brown guard hair in the second photo. It's really pretty. Also, I hand sew all my costumes so it is super doable. If you don't already, learn the blanket stitch and ladder stitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feelwell Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Tapestry, since everyone else stole all my other ideas. Or, make the world's warmest outift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't already, learn the blanket stitch and ladder stitch. The blanket stich is actually one I naturally developed. As for why do I have so much fur, its because I once had asperations of making a tail and a suit, as well as a "less than a yard" online fur sales. My output never quite matched my purchases. I don't remember where I got the dark/light brown fur from. Probably one of the Los Angeles Fabric District locations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saxon Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 As a couple of other users have suggested, if you don't have enough to make a complete suit, then you could make tails. That fur looks very fluffy. :3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misomie Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Actually I think you can make a full body of it. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16617464/ I made this suit with a yard of gray, quarter yard of white, half yard of royal blue, one yard of turquoise, and a yard of black.
