There is a tool called a "sweater shaver" that can be used to easily erase pilling from fleece. It can also be used to gently smooth out foam carvings! :D
i am just WAITING for a fursuit maker to recieve a message from a kid asking for a free suit, the maker agrees, and then sends the kid like a small crumpled up paper as the head with the details drawn on XD
I just bought fur from Furaddiction (an australian fur company) but these fur shops are great aswell! I'm making a blind cat fursuit so wish me luck! (P.S, You slay :)) )
Those videos are so cool ! I'm nowhere near the point where i would jump into this kind of project, but hearing a profesionnal talk about the technical aspects of it is very inspiring. Thank you : ).
This was a super helpful video. All the different fabric names were very confusing to me when I was first looking into making stuff with fur, but you do a great job of explaining it all here.
Hey Skye! I’m a huge fan of your work and wanted to say all your work is amazing and I am loving your master class! I recently bought the ‘Feral Hand Paw Pattern’ on your website but when I went to print it the paw print was cut in half sor some reason. I also sent an email to your business email asking the same question and I also sent a photo. Happy fursuit making!
My fursona is a manokit and im trying to convince my parents to get me a base 😂 but im not making my fursuit with fur.... yea you heard right NO FUR ON MY FURSONA im going to make ner out of fleece 😅😊 so, head paws and tail will be fleese but she has a little floof on top of her head so i have a tiny bit of fur for that 😂😂 but im so excited 😂🎉😅❤
Quick questions: If i were to order a fursuit that looks like my artstyle, who would you reccomend? Would it be easy/harder to make 2 tails on one fursuit What should i do if my fursona has alot of hair? Asking because i would like to get a fursuit when im older and have more money! Thank you!
i think it'd be relatively difficult to have two tails on one suit, but it really depends on the materials used, the size, the design, etc. if your fursuit has "head hair" like humans do, you can either sew wig wefts onto the fursuit head or use long faux fur. as for the fursuit matching the artstyle, i'd recommend looking at different designs for fursuit heads, e.g kemono, toony, or realistic.
I asked BigZ what is up with the stripes on the backside, they told me its most likely the end of the roll / fur! :) And I think they are willing to send new one if its an issue for you! but I have never noticed an issue with it.
Omg, i just was planning to start sometime this month to start making a part-shal (don't know how to spell that) fursuit for myself because i would like to have and make one with my own style. But i was really needing a video like this for the fur since my family member didn't know any place with fur.
I already bought everything that I need before watching this video. Luckily everything seems nice and high quality, except for the dino mask which was just a big hunk of rubber so now I'm 3d printing the dino mask and never trusting amazon ever again.
we actually USE Big Z? OH THANK GOD, ITS RELIABLE i had JUST finished comparing prices from ALL these suppliers and Big Z is the cheapest for what im looking for, so thank GOD, i was worried if i should of just went for Howl instead XD
I'm so glad I found this video again. A local store has this massive sale going on for faux fur specifically and I was so worried I'd end up wasting money not knowing how to pick out good fur
Hi there I would love to have a chat to you about fursuit making. My son has become obsessed with furries and attended his first furry fair the weekend just gone. Iv been watching your videos on how to make suits and would love to text you to pick your brain on a few things. If you would be willing to it would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou
BABE WAKE UP! SKYE POSTED🗣🗣 (aaannndd I’m late. lol) Thankyou for this amazing video, it’s very helpful. I’m jumping into fursuit making again and I’m very excited hehe
Spotlight is usually my go to for furs because the shipping costs when shipping anything to Australia makes me want to cry, colour matching in Spotlight is almost impossible though :/
“Freedom” measurements is probably the best way I’ve ever heard the imperial system be described, I think I’m going to use that to annoy my American friends now 😂
what was the difference between the blue long shag and the butterscotch long shag, was it that the blue one had more white spots? I didnt know batches could be inconsistant like that, but its nice to know that its a fixable problem! Im learning how to sew in prepararion for attemptint a fursuit so its nice to see these videos

Just when you use it move it around the area in a circular motion bc if u don’t you get a hole :)
i actually have one of those at home, can agree they work really well! :3

lmao getting the fur in your mouth is so relatable. the worst thing about working with fur hahaha
Needed this video when I made my first head! 😭💜 i was so confused between beaver and teddy and whether I could/should shave!
planned on sleeping tonight, guess not

Ay congrats!
I've been having a nightmare of a time finding rainbow fur I really don't want to buy and sew all the colors together that would be so tedious.
I saw rainbow fur on some of the websites she mentioned!
I like the organization you have for your furs. Mine are just stuffed in boxes in the closet.
my furs are all stuffed into a plastic bag 💀

Big Z fur is good, but doesn't feel as soft to me after being shaved down when compared to Howl Fabrics
Thankyou so much for making this. I’m just about to order some stuff for my first fursuit head.
I asked BigZ what is up with the stripes on the backside, they told me its most likely the end of the roll / fur! :) And I think they are willing to send new one if its an issue for you! but I have never noticed an issue with it.

☝️🤓 *partial
I just about have enough money to get fur from big z fabric I have saved up for ages lol
Hello sky! I’m putting leds in my fursuit eyes and I was wondering how you could make it so they could be removable but also stay in?
How come it says it was only uploaded a few seconds ago but there’s comments from four days ago??????
Can I buy fur on allegro? It's like polish Amazon
I already bought everything that I need before watching this video. Luckily everything seems nice and high quality, except for the dino mask which was just a big hunk of rubber so now I'm 3d printing the dino mask and never trusting amazon ever again.
I'm working on a fursuit and am in the process of buying fur from Howlfabrics (getting swatches first), can't wait to see this video!!
Is it a good idea to make a full suit from the luxury fox?
I wouldn’t say so, if it’s your only option, it would be fine, I’m sure. I just think it would be better for you to use luxury shag, rather than fox.
@@KlinxKreations i plan on making the suit for my third. He's a Dragon Fox
@@WARD5KUSTOMZ cool!
me looking at fur prices AND shipping to aus: ;_;
Big W with a furry blanket on clearance: :3
I love this so much! Thank you for the help! Also shout out to the pieces of fluff flying around the video TwT. (Not in a mean way)
Early!! I’ve been in your server for a while
we actually USE Big Z? OH THANK GOD, ITS RELIABLE

Make more videos 😢
YIPPE FURRRR :D
This is actually very helpful! I thought that there was only lux shag, short and long.
..dude I just bought fox fur in 2 yards for my fursona from howl fabrics 😀.. literally cannot afford another in lux shag what do I do -
Hi!
Hi!
Here in Canada I always go to Fabricland, there's one not too far from me and there's plenty of options there.
I ordered beaver in black and white and it came head damaged!
I'm so glad I found this video again. A local store has this massive sale going on for faux fur specifically and I was so worried I'd end up wasting money not knowing how to pick out good fur
Early!
I am working on a fursuit of one of my fursonas, and I'm using the teddy fur from howl fabrics. I was so happy to hear that it is great fur to use! :D
"P this helped jus so much

This is so helpful! Thank you! -Britta/Spritz!
Thank you for the video! I’m so excited to start making my very own fursuit!

Perfect timing!! Looking for fur right now!!

Hiya
Ooooooh, thank you Skye, once again (your videos are THE MOST helpful I swear.)
Thx I needed this
is Joan’s fabric good?
My fullsuit has taken about 10-11 yards but it has many colors, Im a big girl, and many of my parts are also large (my tail is 7 feet long)
omg lol hi Blush! I literally came into this video as prep to buy fur for my microraptor partial project I mentioned at FCL haha!
@@bluejediforcelol, yea this channel has a lot of good advice and resources (lookin forward to seeing the raptor come to life)
@@MasterofPlush She does! I used Skye's tutorials to make Jedi 1.0's head!
Does the jaw move???
Ah that's cool
What about gorilla fur?
Mendel's has a ton of furs too!! I used them before i found Howl and BigZ. they're out of San Francisco
I love the beaver fabric I got from Big Z a couple years back. It's nearly as soft as real rabbit fur! I'm sewing my fursuit hands with it right now.
Spotlight is usually my go to for furs because the shipping costs when shipping anything to Australia makes me want to cry, colour matching in Spotlight is almost impossible though :/
Thank you for your videos :3 they are always helpful and very informative
Great video. A ton of info on furs. Thanks. Keep up the great job.
I was looking for a video like this that wasnt 3 years old. 😂😂
I just got a lot a fur recently I get it from Amazon
Same
I got hot pink fur what about you? Honestly I don’t like hot pink but I consider it neon pink because my Dino mask has neon colours
@@wolfalotle5357 I got blue and white fur from amazon for my rabbit fursona 🐰
I have never been this early!!! But i love your viddddss
I need this
Woah! Ty

Hi
“Freedom” measurements is probably the best way I’ve ever heard the imperial system be described, I think I’m going to use that to annoy my American friends now 😂
It's not particularly annoying to us because here in the US we call them "freedom units" as a joke pretty regularly lol
@@whoahanant lmao fair enough
How is this comment 5 days ago if the video wasn't out one day ago
@@libellulafatata I’m a patron of Skyes! We get early access 😁
