Hello ! I' a pretty big furry dweeb : )
My sona is Vosa, a chihuahua x nordic spitz !
I am currently making a tail for my friend, shoe .
I'm a bit frustrated rn bc my sew machine is from the 50s ( it works rlly well but doesn't auto pull the fabric through ) and because I dont have any pins to hold the fabric in place while I sew . I also didn't number my pieces well enough and got the order of the pieces mixed up and messed up while sewing : /
I'm taking a break from making it for now because I need a breather from my struggles .
This isn't my first tail, but is my first in a while . Also my first time using good quality furs ! I am using minky fabric to make this tail : )

I suggest a faux fur or luxury shag, since minky tends to shed a lot.

Its a rlly short pile, like what most people use to make plushies out of .
Plus it is what my friend wanted to use for her tail ! Since her sona is a whippet : )
Aw, sounds cute! I was only basing it off my experience w/ minky, although yours might be different

I do appreciate the advice ! So far the minky seems to only be shedding when I cut it, and even then it isnt too bad .
The only other fur I worked with was rlly low quality and shed more than my rabbit ( which is a hard feat to achieve LOL ), so maybe I just don't notice the amount of shedding compared to the only other fur I worked with ?

Ok, so I have been hoping to go to MFF recently (not confirmed, but definitely possible) and I realized I may have a bit of a predicament. See, I have OCD and people wanting to touch my fursuit or get into my personal space when they are dirty can really set me off to the point where I could have a panic attack. If I were to go to the con, my mom would be there as my handler. What would be the best way to deal with this? Could I make a badge or something? Any advice is appreciated! Tysm! God bless!

Since its a furcon most people will always ask before hugging you and such. You will get bumped into accidentally quite a bit though, no one can see well lol. It should be fine though, i've never had an issue like this at a con before(I've suited at 10 now, 4 of those were MFF). If anything does happen though most furs are very friendly and understanding and there is con security and volunteers in most areas :3

I think last time I posted I was working on a husky partial. As of now I have completed three partials and one fullsuit and have two more heads in progress.
These are
the first three fursuits that I've madeMy first digitigrade fullsuitA wolf partial I just completed a few weeks agoThe last two faces in
this photo are foam bases that I recently made and am getting ready to fur
I started my first suit last summer so now it's been over a year since I began making suits. I'm planning on opening commissions for the first time in the end of March next year. <3
These look so good! They're adorable! I'll for sure be looking out for your fursuits in the future <333
