  • Sorry for the wait yall!! This tutorial had so many different things I had to film. I hope this is the in-depth tutorial you all wanted! Obviously the sewing part is gonna be different for each head, but maybe you can see the order of steps i took and learn an idea of how to do it on your own head.
    Let me know if anything here was confusing!
    As well as commenting other tutorial ideas :3 I can only make tutorials on stuff I'm currently commissioned to make, so some stuff will only come later. The next paws I'm sewing together is sometime in October 2020 or so, and I don't have the time to make and film a pair until then, so unfortunately that tutorial will have to wait.
    --------
    00:00 making patterns
    08:45 transferring patterns to fur
    15:36 quick sewing lesson
    21:23 sewing the face
    26:17 making the nose
    29:50 glueing the fur
    34:38 attaching the chin
    35:59 finishing the ears
    37:24 shaving the face
    38:47 sewing the lining to the neck
    40:08 finishing the eyes

Considering this was only just *part* of the suit is insane, and I'm sure you all have a ton of work to do when it comes to such. The effort and detail you put into it is amazing. I applaud you!

      @freckledcatcreations  Před 4 lety +16

      You are SO welcome!!! And yeah, it's not that they hate minors, it's just that a ton of minors go behind their parents back, and then the parents tell the maker to give the money back, even when the maker has already started work. There are still some makers who will work with minors though, like me! I've seen most people just ask for a copy of the parents ID , and have an email from the parent saying the commission is accepted or something.
      But yea! Anyway! Good luck on your head!!!!! Hope this is helpful! And be sure to check out my other tuts on foam carving / etc! :D

      Pls no. I'm not hating, and you can, but I've found that makes it a lot easier for everything to just fall apart. And, it looks a lot less nice. It doesn't take a beating like it should, and will eventually peel back and stop looking normal. This is just my experience tho (which is not as much as people might think. I've only made like, five actually good heads. ;-;)

      You can’t really glue it on cause if you wash it, it will soften the glue and it will just fall off in the end since you need to wash it regularly anyway have you made it can I see it? :)

    the way you secure your stitching makes me feel dumb for how I've been doing it (aka just tying knots until the anxiety says I can stop). OTHERWISE AMAZING VIDEO. I mean I knew fursuits were very labor/skill intensive but i've never actually watched it get done before.

    • @freckledcatcreations

      Oh gosh, yeah, All other sewing tuts just mention tying a big enough knot that it wont pop through the weave of the fabric... and im like.... with enough force, any knot can pull through. Why tie it like that, when you could have the thread hold onto ITSELF and not onto the fabric? I'm so happy you liked the video!! Hope you can translate some of this into your own crafts!
