I never thought to use a knnife like that to cut out the pattern, i'm the type of person that would be trying to cut it out by hand with a pair of scissors and wondering why it looked naff at the end, good tip =)
@DBZanimetoys you can get red fur from just about any fabric store, though their fur is pretty short, think like teddy bear hair. if you want what's called long pile fur, where the hair is like 3 inches long or so, you'd have to order it online. red's popular so it should be easy to find.
how many yards of faux fur do u need for a full suit? Hancocks's, the store i go to for my fur, only sells it in yards and each yard is $25 so i dont want to be wasting my money, or not having enough money x.x
I've always love your works and in fact I have one of your works in my studio laying about... the black tipped silver fox tail! ^^ I keep sending people that I know to you on a daily basis at times when they ask where did I get it from!
Excuse, i would just like to ask where you got your fake fur from, and how much would it cost for the size you are using, because i would like to make a 1.7meter scarf with real or fake fur but i do not know where to get it.
Have you ever tried cutting fur with a wood-burner? Its faster and easier than a knife. It melts through the backing, without melting the fur; and theirs no shedding.

Can you show me how to take my burnt fake fur out from my jacket and replace it with a new one without destroying it? And how can I sew it in right? Thanks a lot...
wow, k, that's much faster. one of my most dreaded parts about making anything is the fur cutting. it's not the fuzz mess left over, it's the time it takes to not cut the fur (making sure to weave the scissor blade up against the backing)... takes too long. was wishing i had so- ahahah i just remembered i have a knife i couldve used. still, i should probably try that knifey method when i have big pieces to cut... smaller ones i would probably still use the scissors.
I made one a few days ago actually and I found that my local Micheals has fake fur and sells patches about the size of two sheets of paper for about two dollars. HobbyLobby here didnt really have any selection and it was very expensive for the exact same thing.
hey im nine and i just like to try makeing sonic charictor suits(ps im a girl and i suck at making them)i only nine so gives me a break!!!!but i have a shadow sonic weresonic and knuckles costume i dont have a mask thats what imma trieng to figure out how to make but some of them look really good!!!!
Wood can be nicked by the knife and scratch the floor. Tile can dull the knife instantly if you touch it to the grouting. Carpet's pile length is usually enough to keep the knife away from accidentally cutting the carpet backing.
You're not hacking at this with a butcher knife - the pile length of the carpet is generally sufficient to keep the tiny edge of the blade that goes through the fur backing from cutting the backing of the carpet.
If the blade is sharp enough (as BeetleCat recommended) you shouldn't have to put too much pressure on. Just take your time if you're unsure about pressure and start on a practice piece before going on to cut the real thing, it'll help you get used to the cutting method =)
do you have a new link on how to make a body suit pattern?

Is it okay to outline your pattern in sharpie? I just heard that when you wash your suit it bleeds through.
Uhighlander 2 years ago
I've never had an issue. You can use a paint pen, chalk, pastels, etc if you're worried.
Beetle91 2 years ago
Ahh, i'm sure sharpie will be fine then. Ty <3
Uhighlander 2 years ago
use a permanent marker, then. the more concerning issue with markers is that it can be seen in thinner or shorter furs.

carpet is best probably.

i'l be shore not to use wood and try to avoid tile
:D have a good one
