And we’re done with a second set! These ones a did a little bit of patten altering, claws and splotchy paws!

I’ll also be opening up a few slots for custom paws (only 3 right now) which will be $300 AUD for the USA (this includes shipping) and $250 AUD for everywhere else.

If you have any questions or would like to know my TOS feel free to send me a message!

So, we started off today by sewing on those paw pads! This one was really fun to do, and honestly I feel like for a first attempt EVER I did a pretty good job at it!

The front and back! Honestly, I wish I did have proper scissors for cutting these out. I don't have any applique scissors, only thread scissors which.. did the job but also I did have 1 or two casualties with the fur from it.

Then of course after cutting it all out, I sealed the edges with a zigzag stitch and picked out all the hair fibres! Personally I used the edge of a comb to pull the all back and they came out super easily!. I also cut holes in the back to put the squeaker and stuffing in! Then onto the fun part. Hand stitching all those beans together.

I ended up doing them in lots of twos. and my word, it did take a while. I think the fear of destroying my sewing machine was so real that I bit the bullet and just did it all by hand. I'll be darned if I destroy my brand new machine with green fur.

So I sewed... and sewed...

And through the magic of the internet we're done. Let my just say, Dys and I just chatting for hours TRULY helped the process. So far, I have NOT listening to music making these but Dys is a yapper, so therefore, I was fine. Haha ILY DYSSS /p So, I then machine stitched up one of the sides, added a minky cuff and then went onto making the lining. Sadly, for me, I got so much in the zone i forgot to take photos. But I will say, My choice of doing the beans first by hand and then being able to use my machine for a hot minute was kind of the strat for me. Everyone has different workflow though, just dont forget important steps <3

And with that, We had a lining and a fully crafted paw ready to make me struggle in getting that little guy right way out. It was SUPER worth it though.

My fur finally arrived. after what felt like an ETERNITY of waiting for this slow post. It was worth it Let me tell you, I was so excited for this process. I went right into it.

So, because we wanted the short hair fingers, I cut out a slab first to shave the fur and work on these one's being shorter.

Separately I added the wrist and hand fur so they could be long and fluffy! The other thing I was noticing was the cutting out of the fur, I did opt for using a box cutting just so I didn't accidentally get any of the fur that I didn't want to.

And boom! Just like that we have some furry paw pieces! As for putting these together, I opted for a secure hand stitch known as a blanket stitch.

Don't mind the lighting change, it started getting dark and I needed the light. But I did a stress test as much as it made me nervous and damn these are not going to be falling apart any time soon!

I got so zoned in I did forget to take a lot of pictures but I used clips to hold all my pieces together and with the minky I securely pinned it all down ready for machine sewing tomorrow!

These ones I’d be trying a few more things! Including claws, and splotchy beans! These ones I’d also have a hand doing a small amount of patterning as I wanted the grey to be a more triangular shape.

Now I will say I did forget to take as many progress photos but I have a few.

So to start here are the main paw pads I did using a brown and pink minky. These were a lot simpler to make than I thought and in turn, turned out fantastic!

All in all, the first paw turned out great, the shaving isn’t as good as my last pair, but that’s the fine detail for when you look up close.

I do plan to making another post with both of them and it being a little more photoshoot esk like last time as well!
