As I became a furry and wanted a fursuit, I didn't really want to buy one right away, I wanted to make one instead. Of course, clear mistakes where made on my first suit. My second suit was a lot better, but I still made some errors that long time makers pointed out. My third one was the one I was kind of happy with. Between all the suits , all I did was do research and watch fursuit tutorials over and over for months. Take your time, there can be errors, learn from your mistakes, and try again.

I'm a young fur and I've been making suits for years, and I've only just recently started doing commissions. It's going great so far!

A couple months ago I thought i could just glue the fur together, now I know what to do

Little kid : I don’t want to learn how to sew

Me : it’s literally so easy

Today I actually just received all the supplies to make my first head and have binged tutorial after tutorial to the point where I've stayed up till midnight lol

I am a younger fur and I 100% agree with the fact that most peoples first suits I see dont look too great cause they either rush the base, complain material cost is too high, or rush other crucial parts of the suit ;;

I'll be 3d modeling my headbase myself and I hope to soon teach others how too ^^ but I got lucky because my parents bought me the hq supplies I needed to Kickstart my suit making ~~ but this video was helpful and I see a lot of people make these little mistakes that can make or break a suit ~~

For people learning to sew, I’d recommend practicing with making pillowcases or pillows first! They’re super easy and fun to make and honestly making pillowcases helped me learn to sew super quickly
You can also make them fun shapes to learn how to sew in different directions. You can make heart pillows to learn to sew circular shapes, star pillows to learn tight corners and sharp edges, and heck even smiley face pillows.

Would love a suit, I have the time, I have the patience, I can sew really well, I'm only missing a few small things... the equipment and money, someday I will be able to become my fursona.

Me, having done all the research on everything and learning to sew: :D
Me, who has no motivation: D:

I was lucky growing up, my grandma taught me to sew. I found it pretty funny that people didn't want to learn it even though you need to for fursuiting and cosplays.

It's a seriously helpful skill even if you don't fursuit or cosplay, I've saved tons of clothes thanks to sewing. It's super helpful just in a home environment.

I Made the Front of my head with a 3D pen for a moving jaw. I used Coral-fleece instead of fur because i had an allergic reaction to fur while i tried on a Friends suit. Coral-fleece ha s a fur-like Texture but isn't that long and Way cheaper. It turned out extremely well. In Case you can't afford fur or you are unsecure try Coral-fleece. Greetings from the Germany where everyone just Call you mascot because no One knows about furries

I have another one! Making hard things as your first furrysuit experience. I tried to make a functional wing-skelet. But the GOD DAMN material wasn't good, the idea was dum and everything like this.

Im making a dutch angel dragon and the first try was an absolute mess

I feel the impatience lol. Today I was sewing my first paw together and I thought I could just sew the whole thing in my machine. Well it let me know quick that wasnt happening. Luckily nothing got ruined in the process just had to hand sew the two halves together.

I am making a raptor mask fursuit head for the first time and I've been watching a lot of raptor mask tutorials but it said put foam around the actual head or duct tape I don't have duct tape or phone so I have to either get phone from a craft store which they're probably closed or a fabric store I'm just making mine really simple and if you want to see what the design is like the only way to see it is by checking out my YouTube channel because I don't have any other social media besides YouTube.

I made a LOT of mistakes on my first two suits 😅

The first one, I made it WAY too small and since I layered the foam, it didn’t stick together with glue.
The muzzle was just one piece of foam that was bent to look like a muzzle.


My second head :

It is WAYYYYY too big. You would have to have the biggest head in the world to make it fit perfectly. I made the top of the head flat... aaaa...... the muzzle was pretty good, but I ran out of foam to make cheeks. So the base was just really plain and had no shape. I used felt for the nose and mouth lining, and it was really messy.

I have not finished any of these suits. And I will NOT finish any of these suits. Soon I’m going to go on a small shopping spree for materials and try to make a suit. So I hope it turns out!

And also. Skye, your fursuit tutorials helped me and my mom SO much while making my first suit! Thank you, and you will always be one of my favorite suit makers <3333
