Bodysuit From Scratch [#6]
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 тра 2024
- For a while now I've been wanting to build my own protogen and now we create our own body suit for it. This is a follow-up to the last episode where we finished the head and electronics.
If you compare this bodysuit to the last one it shows how much better I've gotten at fursuit making. Next episode will most likely be the paws

This tutorial is absolutely amazing. The ONLY thing I would suggest is not destroying your DTD. The method I learned was to wrap the DTD in plastic wrap, add another layer of tape on top of it (usually masking tape), and then use the masking tape layer as your patterning layer. The cling wrap makes it easy to remove. The reason to do this extra pattern layer is because it's SUPER useful to put your suit on the dummy and really look at how it's measuring out without having to wear it yourself.
You should add a seam allowance to your fabric pieces. Each time you sew a line 1/4 of an inch from the edge, you lose a 1/2 inch overall.
I would also recommend making a test suit from something like muslin first. You'll be able to test the fit and make adjustments with less expensive materials before cutting into your fur.
All good points! I was adding seam allowance tho I just didn't mention it in the video
@@WafflesDoesArt In that case, nevermind. 😅
Love that fabric weight!
Makes me want a fursuit of my protogen sona
protogen bodysuit too?!?!? let's gooooo
Oh I can’t wait to see the armour
Agreed
Bro I could never do that my lazy ass would've done that a W for you and good morning 😀
when you were cutting open the duct tape dummy it looked like some sort os medical procedure- also i cant image the mess from cutting up all that fur!
I cant believe how underrated this is
I looks amazing just like I expected
The suit looks AMAZING, i think the only thing to note for in the future (if you do decide to make another body suit) would be to add seams between where the femur meets with the pelvis, that should give it a lot more motion. Also, i think you could have added a bigger seam allowance to make it more spacious (id say about an inch), and a final tip would be to mark where the actual pattern piece is and mark the seam allowance around it, this makes it so you dont forget where your seam should be and makes it flow with the body a lot better! Everything still looks amazing and im going to be using your protogen head tutorial to make a protosuit of my own!
Keep up the good work
Ö
I didn’t realize that you would make this
But apparently you did wow good job just
Like how you did the Protogen mask
Some process changes I'd personally suggest:
1. Don't cut apart your DTD directly. Instead, cover it with plastic wrap and make a second DTD over it. If you plan to add digi padding for other suits this is already a must anyway, but even a non digi suit still greatly benefits from test fitting on your DTD. Also, this gives you an extra bit of fabric to work with anyway to make it a little looser fit.
2: Get a sharpie and draw your markings on the DTD!!! This makes adding them in THOUSANDS of times easier, in addition to not wasting large chunks of fabric for things like colored bellies.
3: For the final seam, instead of sewing back half to front half, sew left half to right half. One of the halves gets turned and placed inside the other (right sides together). This creates a single, long, mostly straight seam to sew together, rather than fiddly stops and starts to skip arm and leg holes. This is how pants are sewn together normally as well- this also allows you to stitch a second seam in the crotch area for reinforcement.
You should make the armor! (Also for hands you could use fingers to control mood on visor!)
all good ideas! Armor will for sure happen
By far I believe you should make the thigh armor next as it would make a good balance between technology based content, and making the rest of the suit in general content. That and the shape of those pieces will greatly affect how easy it is to move around so it’d probably be best to do those first.
Basically I’m suggesting to get the harder technology based stuff out of the way first. The armor. Before making the paws
Full armor is the plan! Have some fun ideas for adding LEDs too
Great info and insight. Love the video. Keep up the great job.
Amazing! Great work mate!
Awesome job! Can’t wait for you to make paw tutorial
I did in the past if you check the last fursuit ^^
Oh, just saw those! Thanks
I'm setting off making my own suit for the first time partly inspired by your last fursuit from scratch series. They're really well presented and offer a great insight into the less talked about steps of the process. How much fur did you end up using for this project? I get wildly different answers whenever I ask but I feel a lot of them are overkill. I've been recommended 12 yards of fur overall for a full suit, but what do you think?
Keep an eye out this weekend on social media and you inbox for a special coupon code that will make that order a bit cheaper ;)
For just the bodysuit I used 2.5 yards, maybe another yard or so for the head. I'm guessing total (paws, tails, bodysuit etc) you'd want around 5 give or take
@@BigZFabric I will! I've never shopped with you before, but I hear your product quality is excellent.
Do you have any idea when your pure white shaggy will be returning?
@@WafflesDoesArt Thank you! Super helpful!
Does big z fabrics deliver to the uk?
Keep up the amazing work!!
Do you have a list of general tools to have, or at least any specific reccomendations?
You video has maed me a little more comforable in my grand project.
we believe in you
So I've noticed that you cut very closely to the edge. And in a different comment you said you do add seam allowance. I guess what I'm asking is what kind of stitch do you use (for the head in the previous video), and how closely do you sew to the edge? I'm working on my own head right now, and I don't want to have bulk on the inside, but I don't want it to be too small.
Add more seam allowance than me, I'm never adding enough of it! I use a blanket stitch most of the time, if you're hand sewing you only need a little but for your bodysuit add more. Good luck!
Hi waffles how did u make the visor cuz I’m almost done making my protogen and I’m stuck on the visor
oml I literally started watching this yesterday, and was wondering if there was gonna be a new episode at all, guess that there is!
i am searching the model for the head but i can't find it, could you comment the link for the model, please?
btw the suit it's turning amazing!
The plastic head base? It's made by Kaiborg Studios
Cómo lo haces me envías uno

What a waste of talent 😞
What a waste of your time. Imagine judging someone on what they like to do? Couldn’t be me
What a waste of talent 😞
How is that a waste of talent huh ? Ide like to see you make something better ya ya that's what I thought they did a great job at making a fursuit and I don't think you will ever make a suit better than them so don't be talking your comment is a waste of time if you ask me
What a waste of talent 😞
