Little magic fan controller
#fursuit #fursuiting #arduino
An arduino, set up for NPN control of a fan, and uses a magnetic pickup for hidden switches. Swipe your paw along the back of your ear to change fan speed, without anyone knowing you weren't just scratching your ear cutely. :D

Soft paws for your timeline
Fursuit footpaws: the sole and upper glued in place, the remaining seam gets an invisible stitch by hand. Sadly, not everything can be machine sewn. 1000 henson stitches later, very, very soft footpaws

Mesh heat vent. @thumperbun.bsky.social has this combined with a fan. More options for people to stay cool. 😁
#fursuit
The inside of a fursuit head, lined in colourful fabric, and a tan coloured aeromesh strip is seen at the top and back of the head to let heat out through the fur. A fursuit head foam base being carved. Rough shapes blocked out, and aeromesh is seen replacing the top foam to allow air to move without compromising it's durability as a foam shell.

Beans! Using overcast embroidery to leave a soft transition from pad to fur. Deets in alt text.
#fursuitmaker #diy
Sole of a fursuit footpaw, the pawpads in black are applied with a straight stitch, then with zigzag to embroider the edge down. All done with a standard sewing machine, you can too! Closeup of a fursuit pawpad seam against the white fur. Pin, and baste it down with a straight stitch close to the edge. The second pass is a 3mm wide x 0.7mm long zigzag to trap the edge, third pass is a 3mm x 0.4mm zigzag to fill gaps. Try getting the ziggy needle to drop -just- off the side of the pad into the fur only, then back into the pawpad.

Shaving fur? Take your time, trim from multiple angles between brushing. You want to get it -really- smooth? The secret is aggressive slicker brushing at the end! It helps randomize the nap length and any cut lines left.
Shaving fur kit. A size 30 Lucky9 cat blade, a 1/4" guard, Oster classic 76 trimmer, scissor, soft brush, slicker brush, and blade oil Two toe pieces. Left is untrimmed, right is finished and brushed and looking very soft.

Paws! Trimming edges before shaving.
#fursuit
A toe piece, flat on the table, with a 1/8th inch seam of fur trimmed down to the backing. Less to brush out after, easier to work with too, and they last longer with less friction and motion between seams.

A belly shot of the otter bodysuit on my worktable. Trying to show the gusset seam and how it pulls in slightly against what would be his mega giant thigh muscle. another bidy shot to show the curvyness of his leg and dropped crotch design. Arms and chest need tailoring next.
