Body Suit

I can sew. Kinda.
I can use patterns, mostly. I'm rubbish at developing patterns from measurements. I might have been successful in draping it on a mannequin, but didn't have one. I could have probably borrowed one from fashion, but it's horribly intimidating just walking in there and opted to just buy a pattern. Apparently, I found out later after I cut muslin for the mock-up we have some sort of mannequin in storage for showing items.

Anyway. Through my mild ignorance, I ordered the childrens' sized pattern. I thought through my technical skills learned at Moore for pattern-sizing I could easily do it. After struggling with technical measuring and drawing, I decided to just wing it, as I do.

Pile-o-patterns and cut muslin.

The Eyes

The eye design was developed from "follow me" eye tutorials used by many furry artists. Some youtube video tutorials:

Using a Watercolour Pallet - My design was based mostly on this method.
Using "Fun Foam" - I have used this method before, but felt it was unprofessional looking and has the tendency to make the heads look cross eyed front on.
Using Buckram and Loo-roll Tubes - I have used buckram before to base eyes off of, but used fun foam to line them.

I made the base of the eyes by lathing then vac-forming chemi-wood.

My first set of eyes after painting them by hand. The black outside of the eye design is faux leather.
