As I became a furry and wanted a fursuit, I didn't really want to buy one right away, I wanted to make one instead. Of course, clear mistakes where made on my first suit. My second suit was a lot better, but I still made some errors that long time makers pointed out. My third one was the one I was kind of happy with. Between all the suits , all I did was do research and watch fursuit tutorials over and over for months. Take your time, there can be errors, learn from your mistakes, and try again.
Hells yeah!!
agreed!
I am currently In the middle of patterning my first suit and even now I can pick out mistakes to keep in mind for my next suit Ex extend the ears down to the cheeks and round out the back. I am still really proud of it though.
I’m about to make my own as well and I’ve seen many tutorials and watched them over again and over again - I’m really exited now because I’m planning on getting all the materials I need ordered by tomarrow. Since This is gonna be my first one I’m going to make a partial
I plan on making my own sometime in the future, and i agree
A couple months ago I thought i could just glue the fur together, now I know what to do
Sewing is an important skill
@@SkyehighStudios I now realise that 😆
I used to think fursuits were gonna be easy to make
@@sh4rkjaws515 oh boy. XD
It does work. All my fursuits are glued and it turns out great. I have been making for 3 years.
I'm a young fur and I've been making suits for years, and I've only just recently started doing commissions. It's going great so far!
Cool! Where can I get one.if you don't mind me asking? :)
I wish you the best of luck!
Nice! Best of luck to you and your suits
@@dontthinkdontthink It’s fine! I’m twelve and I’m pretty sure I’m a furry, haven’t told my family yet, I probably will when I want to get a fur suit, but don’t be scared, most families are really supportive, and if they’re not, it doesn’t matter, the furry community is very welcoming and glad to have you
Glad it's going great!
Today I actually just received all the supplies to make my first head and have binged tutorial after tutorial to the point where I've stayed up till midnight lol
I am a younger fur and I 100% agree with the fact that most peoples first suits I see dont look too great cause they either rush the base, complain material cost is too high, or rush other crucial parts of the suit ;;
I'll be 3d modeling my headbase myself and I hope to soon teach others how too ^^ but I got lucky because my parents bought me the hq supplies I needed to Kickstart my suit making ~~ but this video was helpful and I see a lot of people make these little mistakes that can make or break a suit ~~
Good luck!!!
Oh, please do film your process!
Noice m8, glad to see I'm not the only younger fur that plans before actually doing shit
Good luck my friend!
You:Staying up until midnight doing research
Me:staying up until the birds are tweeting, doing research, falling asleep every 10 minutes, writing more a book I’m working on, watching Kracc Bacc, watching cursed CZcams kids memes, and other weird shiz
For people learning to sew, I’d recommend practicing with making pillowcases or pillows first! They’re super easy and fun to make and honestly making pillowcases helped me learn to sew super quickly
You can also make them fun shapes to learn how to sew in different directions. You can make heart pillows to learn to sew circular shapes, star pillows to learn tight corners and sharp edges, and heck even smiley face pillows.
I loved making a pillowcase and learning to use the different interesting stitch patterns (my mom's sewing machine had a little moon shaped stitch and a couple others) I don't understand how sewing would be a deal breaker!
Little kid : I don’t want to learn how to sew
Me : it’s literally so easy
That it is!
Skyehigh Studios See The thing is I’m making my first suit but like I have help because I am more in to the drawing and that stuff than the crafting
Ikr
I don’t know how really ;-;
I can sew but ITS TERRIBLE I HAD TO TAKE APART A WHOLE SUIT, AND REMAKE IT UASISUHIUHAUOHAKHUS
Would love a suit, I have the time, I have the patience, I can sew really well, I'm only missing a few small things... the equipment and money, someday I will be able to become my fursona.
You can do it!
It is totally possible to hand sew everything! ;P Takes a LONG time, but it can be done!
@@zythe69akaru i completely hand sewed my first suit, it turned out pretty good !! Never again though too time consuming tho,,, cheaper then buying a suit tho !!
Im handsewing my first suit entirely. Buuut it's only a mini partial so idk. Itll look great whatever you do
same
As a young fur it sucks to see other young people complaining about not being able to do something. If they take the time, they might find sewing etc. can be quite nice! This video is a good reminder that fursuit making needs effort and patience, so thank you Skye!
That it does, you’re welcome!
I was lucky growing up, my grandma taught me to sew. I found it pretty funny that people didn't want to learn it even though you need to for fursuiting and cosplays.
It's a seriously helpful skill even if you don't fursuit or cosplay, I've saved tons of clothes thanks to sewing. It's super helpful just in a home environment.
Same lol
My mom taught me how to sew, I’m very thankful for it!
I knew how to sew, I just didn’t know I HAD to sew it, I legitimately thought it was optional
I feel the impatience lol. Today I was sewing my first paw together and I thought I could just sew the whole thing in my machine. Well it let me know quick that wasnt happening. Luckily nothing got ruined in the process just had to hand sew the two halves together.
I am making a raptor mask fursuit head for the first time and I've been watching a lot of raptor mask tutorials but it said put foam around the actual head or duct tape I don't have duct tape or phone so I have to either get phone from a craft store which they're probably closed or a fabric store I'm just making mine really simple and if you want to see what the design is like the only way to see it is by checking out my CZcams channel because I don't have any other social media besides CZcams.
Foam is $15 dollars at Walmart :0
You can just get some from amazon, it’s pretty cheap!
How was this comment 2 hours ago- also foam is about 15$ at Walmart
I got my upholstery foam at Walmart
That's why I have 10 foam pillows at home
I Made the Front of my head with a 3D pen for a moving jaw. I used Coral-fleece instead of fur because i had an allergic reaction to fur while i tried on a Friends suit. Coral-fleece ha s a fur-like Texture but isn't that long and Way cheaper. It turned out extremely well. In Case you can't afford fur or you are unsecure try Coral-fleece. Greetings from the Germany where everyone just Call you mascot because no One knows about furries
I have another one! Making hard things as your first furrysuit experience. I tried to make a functional wing-skelet. But the GOD DAMN material wasn't good, the idea was dum and everything like this.
I did articulated wings once xD before I started making fursuits
@@SkyehighStudios cool!
Me, having done all the research on everything and learning to sew: :D
Me, who has no motivation: D:
Im making a dutch angel dragon and the first try was an absolute mess
Thats why I'll never make one 😂
Dutchies can be pretty challenging!
@@SkyehighStudios my first try was a wolf
oof
@@b0nkwhenthem I wish you luck
I'm a new fur and I hope to be making my own fursuit someday soon. Fortunately for me, my mum does sewing for a living and has a billion (six) sewing machines that I can borrow. She also works at a cheap craft store, and the quality of the faux fur they have in that shop is surprisingly good! Thanks for the vid skye, as it is helping me along my journey!
(also I sent this 2 years late- oh well XDD)
I made a LOT of mistakes on my first two suits 😅
The first one, I made it WAY too small and since I layered the foam, it didn’t stick together with glue.
The muzzle was just one piece of foam that was bent to look like a muzzle.
My second head :
It is WAYYYYY too big. You would have to have the biggest head in the world to make it fit perfectly. I made the top of the head flat... aaaa...... the muzzle was pretty good, but I ran out of foam to make cheeks. So the base was just really plain and had no shape. I used felt for the nose and mouth lining, and it was really messy.
I have not finished any of these suits. And I will NOT finish any of these suits. Soon I’m going to go on a small shopping spree for materials and try to make a suit. So I hope it turns out!
And also. Skye, your fursuit tutorials helped me and my mom SO much while making my first suit! Thank you, and you will always be one of my favorite suit makers
I'm about done with my fursuit help I just need the fur to hurry up and ship then i will be done thanks to you. THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE. VIDEOS THEY HELPED A TON
Covid has really screwed over shipping times hey xD
I am a beginner fursuit maker, you are one of my biggest inspirations. If it wasn't for you and several others i wouldn't have known how much i love fursuit making. I can't thank you enough!!
💙💙💙
How dare u use the carpet sample fursuit, I just managed to erase that from my brain. Also nice video! I'm very stoked to start my first suit, I'm just saving up very slowly for all the right materials :0
I mean it was the best bet to not offend anyone xD
@@SkyehighStudios you did great lmao
I've been looking into making a fursuit, not only for getting to wear one but I love art and think it would be fun to make art that I can literally wear! These were really useful! ❤️
They are definitely wearable works of art!
Thank you! I have been making a manokit head out of a dino mask... I cant afford one, this is also my first time making a base, or anything, I’m new to the fandom, and a young furry
Good luck with your fursuit!
That sounds super cool!!!
I'm in the process of making my first suit right now , decided to open up my commissions again to upgrade small things such as my thread etc and take things easy as I want my suit to show my full potential ^w^ ❤
Great video ! I highly appreciate all your advice
Good luck with your commissions! I’m sure you’ll rock it!
@@SkyehighStudios thank you !
this was really helpful to watch before i got my fur! i'm a first time maker, planning to start a amateur fursuit making business if i get good enough. so it was nice to see this before i work on my first personal suit!
Can I see your suit so far?
You say that yet I think I've spent over $1,000 on all my equipment so far. My dad spent $740 for me on a sewing machine and my mom spent an extra $200 for me on this pair of Oster clippers that I asked if she would buy for me and she said sure. Technically I owe my dad at least half the amount of money for this sewing machine and I'm fine with that but that's another story.
I'm trying my hardest to become a fursuit maker and as you even know this is stupid hard to get into. And it's a lot of time consuming I've probably wasted a lot of fabric already that I personally bought myself. I honestly love Joanne's.
I have three different furs and I'm trying my hardest not to waste any of it. I have black white and this husky mix looking for where it's like brown and gray and black. I've got a lot of minky too red black brown and white.
The amount of stuff I've put into this is ridiculous. But I'm trying to follow your tutorials and they are not easy. I've gone into working on paws and I feel likeI should not be starting here maybe I should have started on tails or something. I think that'll be my next project once I figure out how to get some paws down. I have a general idea of what I'm doing but I'm really afraid that I'm going to screw up the fabric which is why I got some cheapo $2 a yard fabric to test my machine on and see what I can do to make and I even made some covid 19 masks which they came out okay but not as good as I wanted them to
Practice makes perfect! And having good equipment is always great!
@@SkyehighStudios yeah but how much fur have you gone through? how many tons have you thrown away a set of paws that were just crap? Also I forget did hand sew your paws or did you actually machines so all the way through the fingers?
Too many to count, my first 5-10 pairs of Handpaws made me openly weep in frustration. Persistence is key!
@@SkyehighStudios I learned real quick that this is one of those kind of things where if you're constantly doing it and you never put it down you're going to hate yourself for it so it's like take a break from it if it's frustrating you like crazy.
Exactly why I gave up, I spent 100s and had to give up so it was all for nothing but I dont have the cash to keep trying and I'm got no patience, worst part..I've been poor the whole time and sacrificed food for this and then gave up...
4:54
...the background behind that image haunts my dreams....
I knew exactly what you were talking about before I even saw the image
Wait is it more than just the carpet sample fursuit guy?
@@njdotson SAME
oh my god the fact that you used the carpet sample suit as a bad example LMAO--- perfect
Darn Aurora Bloom making all of us first time suit makers feel bad 😭 (I’m just kidding we all LOVE you Aurora 💕🐾)
She's a z00
Thank you for making my day better!
💙💙💙
lets give some appreciation to this lady for spending so much of her time to make other people happy.
I didn't realize how long it would take to really make one until I started making one. It actually turned out to be a great help to building my patience and perseverance when it comes to hands on projects. It also allowed me to realize that I enjoy hands on projects more than digital projects. It gives me a bit of euphoria and motivation to continue with the digital arts such as videography, photography and drawing that I also enjoy doing along side. Basically, just do a lot of research into fursuits and fursuit making, then jump into it and learn as you go. And don't get discouraged if your first suit turns out rough or bad because you can just do better on your next one and learn from your mistakes. Or at least that's what I did and I don't regret it. :)
Tried doing tutorials, but it didn't work. My Mom thought of getting a group of YoungFurs together with me and could help each other out making our Suits. My family struggles with money, so making a Suit is the cheapest route. I'm more of an artist then a Suit maker. I tried making paws, but.... They were too close together and you can't even make them out as paws.
Edit: Despite this, my boyfriend will buy a premade one for me on The Dealers Den. I've seen their prices and they look so cheap! I saw a 3/4 suit for.... $550? I was shock. The suit looked well made as well. Idk if The Dealers Den is a good place for starter suits. Although I'm a YoungFur, I stopped growing.
Keep practicing! It will get easier!
@@SkyehighStudios I have a cat skull mask and I might use that as a base. Half-furred and half-skull. I'll be using foam, fur, and clay for it. It'll be heavy 😅😂
whenever im doing school work i love to listen to ur tips and tricks on fursuit making or other things thx so much! keep up the great work :)
Thank you! I’m gathering my supplies for my first fur suit, so this will help me have a good first suit!!
I’m rewatching this for about the 4th time and it’s still helping. Everyone needs a remember now and then
I've prepared years for fursuit making (and plus sewing runs in the family) and this video is really helping a lot more! I plan on making my first fursuit head and paws this summer and your channel is fun and helpful with learning more about materials, time and effort ♡♡♡
I'm working on my first fursuit! I think I have found the gold channel to search for tutorials :D Thank you for making this video! (After watching this video, I sure am glad that I joined a sewing club for 3 years and learned how to sew lol)
I'm glad I learned how to sew before I started my first suit. I'm almost done with it and it looks amazing! Your tutorial (with some tweaking to make a feline) helped me loads!!!
I’m working on my first non dinomask fursuit and this helps a lot! Ive been saving up for hq howl fabric furs and I’m hoping to order it soon! I gotta say I’m REALLY proud of my head base so far but it still has a lot of work to be done, and as a 13 yr old Aussie, getting these materials is HARD and expensive, you’ve really helped me out with your vid’s skye :D
I started making my first suit a little more than a year ago, and for some reason I didn’t realize how crucial the sewing part was. Thankfully I had a Nana that knew how to sew, so she showed me some pointers. I got a sewing machine and I’m still working on it. It has taken a while to make my first suit since I’m new to it, but I’m thinking about possibly going into fursuit making! :3
I'm making a big dragon puppet with a moving jaw! LEDs etc.
And the head is legit just like a dragon fursuits head. So good luck guys!
Im so glad ive been learning how to sew for 4+ years because i feel like thats gonna help me alot when i make my first fursuit
This is super helpful! I’m planning on making my first suit over the summer, and I already knew most of this, but I’m sure it’ll help a ton of people even more!
I hope so, thank you!
I am currently working on my fifth fursuit, and I want it to be as good as possible, so I'm watching all the videos I can! I have improved with each suit but I really want to make this one the one that I feel proud enough to wear around. It's my goal to do commissions one day! Thank you for this advice!
2:00 the subtitles:
smooth and refined as ✨pasta✨
Thank you I thought I was crazy watching so many tutorials, like I should be ready, but I'm so happy to hear you say to donas much research as possible, it's like the more you learn the more you realize how little you know...lol
dear young furs such as me, literaly listen to skye, learn to sew, oml its helped me soo much not just with making fur suit parts as it can benifit alot more than that. Example: you are running in the park with your friends and you trip and you get a hole in one of you pieces of clothing that you love so much, its only a small hole thats easily sewed up, but, you dont know how to sew. You carry on your day but the hole gets bigger and bigger to the point where you have to throw away that one bit of clothing that may have been very special to you because say your grandma that passed away bought it for you. See how if you just learned to sew that tiny hole you wouldnt have to throw it away
This helps me immensely, as i finally found our old kenmore Rotary Electric Sewing Machine, and am saving up for the materials
I totally don’t have a notebook dedicated to your “learn how to be a Fursuit maker” series
this helped me a lot, i saw almost everything in how my suits were turning out. now i am thinking on how i can take more time for making suits
Good luck!’ ^.^
Hey Skye! I'm a young fur and just got some foam and can't wait to make my first fursuit head! Defiantly gonna go watch some of your tutorials! and thanks for the great video!
I’m currently working on my first fursuit, and I’m making it a full digi suit. I feel like I may be biting off more than I can chew so early on, but I’m determined at this point. It’s a pretty simple design to start, just so I can get used to the basics of everything. I’m really excited to see it all come together once I’ve furred it!
For dinomask makers!
Take your time on the paint, if you take time to smooth your lines and find things to make perfect patterns in will surely become the eye candy that you deserve.
If you are replacing the strap on the back: PLEASE DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE YOUR MEASUREMENTS!! I had to re-glue my straps about 4 times before it actually settled perfectly on my head.
I'm an older but new-to-actively-participating-in-fandom fur planning to make their own suit and man it's daunting. I'm lucky to have already come from a sewing background, but the general crafting aspect is going to be trying. The research is *very* important, I concur. I sat on the idea of making one for a couple years, all the while soaking in all the material I could, and I still feel a bit scared. I assume it's one of those things that gets easier once you actually get going.
But tutorials like yours have been extremely helpful! :D
I'm not making a head for a couple of months but making paws and a tail soon its always good to hear tips first!
It took me a year to save up and I’m just NOW starting! It’s worth it
4:39
Oh God... I had forgotten about Carpet Sample...
Aside from the Vietnam flashbacks, great video! Love the tips since I am hoping to make my own one day, but want to make sure I'm fully prepared beforehand.
2:19
Sounds like "Number furry"
My first suit was using your tutorials and the suit was real good by first suit standards 💕
Soon (in probably 2 months)
I’m gonna make my first fursuit partial and this really helped thanks!!
Thank you so much for the tips! Im a beginner fursuit maker and this was really helpful, I really enjoy your vids! ♥
Im going to be making my first suit on the weekend, Im gonna follow your tutorial and hope for the best :)
When I first making my first suit, I didn’t have the money to get a turkey cutter and I had trouble cutting through 3 inch foam with a box cutter and I was In a rush and didn’t have the time to smooth out the base. When I got older I manage to get the best and upgraded equipments
I myself am beginner furry and I have purchased my first partial suit and currently in the works of making new suit for a new sona of mine. This video helps alot and I have going at it nice and slow. So far turning out good and after watching this the only mistake I've made this far is my impatience. It got me into a bind when I was sewing and I had to re-sew my entire neck and cowl.
U inspired me to start and now my dad is helping me:3 thank u so much for showing this!
Love how when skye moves her head down the it looks like she’s begging you not to make these mistakes. I hope I can make follow me eyes that well!
I’m going to try to make a mini partial, as research about how to make one I’ve been binge watching a lot of your videos
Just gonna watch at least 10 videos from you to help with my fursuit head.. nice vids btw!
I've been planning on making a protogen head, and I'm glad with the recourses available!
...now I just need the money lol.
I can definitely agree eoth the "watch out for shipping costs. Since I'm not American, shipping costs were almost $100+ for one meter of fur. Instead, i dropped by my local fabric store and got some nice hq fur during a 60% off storewide sale.
Recently started on making fursuit pieces for myself and my daughter and its a very fun and scary thing to do, Made two tails now and two sets of paws... Will tackle a head for myself in the future once i safe up a little. I got my fur from mohair bear supplies in the UK very nice quality fur on this side of the world :)
Rn am learning how to make eyes, carving shapes, how to budget. And I still want to make a fursuit head until next next summer break! Don’t rush things it doesn’t give you an amazing fursuit head
Omfg you put carpet sample in your video. Every time I forget he exists he pops up angain. Lol great video!! Definitely seen some young excited furs that could benefit from this!
I am starting my first fursuit as a new furry and am so lost but this vid is rlly helpful tysm.
Thanks Skye, needed some tips cause I'm as well a young furry wanting to make resin head,fursuit,3Danimator, and stuff.[I can juggle this stuff] HAVE A BLESSED DAY!
You too!
Hello! I am a young fur and I'm currently making my first fursuit for my first convention!!! I have made many errors and may continue to make them. I don't have a sewing machine so I sadly have to hot glue everything. I also don't have access to the right foam. It's going not-so-well so far but I'm trying not to give up! This video helped me a lot as well!
I have bine researching for a while on Dutch angel dragons I saved up enough money and bought some nice fur from big z fabric and I got a head base from one of my fav Etsy shops! The Dutch angel dragon I’m making is a brown and white Dutch angel dragon with green and white horns it’s named ivy! I can’t wait to get to started and I’m here trying to make sure i don’t make these mistakes lol! Wish me luck!!!
Thank you so much!!! I was just about to start my first suit and I almost did some of these!!!!!
This is great to know now that I'm making my second suit! I'll definitely remember what I learned from this video!
Absolutely! It all comes with practice and research :3
Yeah! ^^
I've started making my first suit awhile ago, so far my skull dog is doing pretty good.
I can currently make felt plushies.. I think that counts as sewing! I'm planning to make a fursuit so these tips are soo helpful! Ty, Skye!
Ty for this and my grandma knows how to sow though things and I’m lucky for that cause I’m a younger fur and I do in fact wanna learn how to sow!
Thank you for this video. I am about to make my first fursuit and I am trying to learn how to get the first one good
For those that WANT a fursuit and WANT IT NOW, I’d recommend spending time saving up money to buy a premade (you can find some surprisingly cheap ones if youre open to buying secondhand- I recommend checking the dealers den, as its less likely to have scams) rather than spending a ton of time and effort saving money for materials, learning to sew and carve foam and clip fur and pattern and all that, and then having to patiently and meticulously create it. For me, I’m a really impatient person, and though I’m trying my best to learn to sew so I can make plushies (help), I know I’m wayy too impatient and have too low of an attention span to make a fursuit. I could mayyybe pull off a head, but thats about it lol.
Thank you for making this video! Im making my first fursuit head and I need all the advice and help I can get.
You’re welcome! 💙
NOT CARPET SAMPLE BLEGH!!!! >O< I've heard the horror stories of that suit and I can't wait to see you make a kemono style suit you got this!
i was getting very stressed about costs and this video saved my life, i was looking at websites that sold fur for 40 dollars a yard and the stuff on bigzfabric sells for 20 youre a godsent
Fellow Australian, I love your content you help me so much and you inspire me I watch you to help me when I ever I get stuff for my fur suit head
-kind regards me
I’m a VERY young fur suit maker so this really helped!
Im a young fur and i have done my dinomask head,tail and paws but my next plan is to make a manokit head I’ve spent days on tutorials and just regular videos to see the form and techniques. I’m currently saving up to buy the furr because the the shipping cost here is almost as expensive as the fur im buying.my last suit took me about 3-4 months with a 3 week pause. I’m really excited about the process i really enjoy that part and im going to a Maschine sewing course to learn how to use it
I was sick one day and that entire day I watched tutorials and researched all day some how
Hey Sky, just want to say thank you for the help finding a Protogen Maker.
New follower on Tumblr!! Always love your video's.
Im reserching every thing i even wrote down how to fur your fursuit head it takes work!
I’m making my first fur suit head in 2 weeks , I’ve watched so many tutorials Including ur bucket head one , I don’t have some craft things I’m just using scissors and a knife to smooth it out but thanks for tips!
I bought a base for my first fursona koyama who is a dragonpup! I’m learning how to fur !
The videos part is very true, Befor I started making suits all I did all day was watch tutorials for months and while making the head I watched a tutorial and replayed it multiple times to get it right, it looked good but at the time I was afraid to shave it but when I did finally shave it, it looked great. Tbh I love hand sewing, it's very relaxing and simple but it's a lot better and faster to use a sewing machine, I do have a sewing machine but my cats broke the spool pins off by nocking my table over so I'm now waiting for my new parts to come it. And this video definitely is very helpful for beginners! (Tad of a rant sry)
I'm making a suit soon! I looked at a ton of tutorials, realized I needed to use plastic instead of foam for the eyes, and sew the fur. I am going to buy an expanding foam base, just because I feel like I couldn’t make a foam head good.
I am a young fur and totally think everyone beginning to make fursuits should watch as many tutorials as possible, and maybe follow a pattern or buy a base.
Im 12 years old, and I own 6 suits, AND HIGHLY recommend getting just a cheap sewing machine! It is moons better than hot glue! Guys this is coming from a 12 year old! please use needles and thread, trust me it will work better in the long run
WOAH! 12 AND YOU OWN 6 SUITS?! that's awesome!! im 14 and still working on my first fursuit head! :0
