@@SkyehighStudios TYT! its not that everyday you get a full digigrade suit to do, besides like you said it wasnt your fault, i didnt mean to sound complaint, i meant it to be silly and for u to know how much these how to series mean to us all ^^
Skyehigh Studios pls do, this was amazing and very inspiring to see how you made sky, but too fast for my 10 year old mind to comprehend XD. I put on notifications to see when if ya do!- sincerity, Gene
It depends on the design of your character, but a conservative estimate is about 4-6 yards of fur for a whole suit. I'm 5'3'' and i bought about 10 yards total for full suits for myself and my boyfriend (my character is 2 colours, his is 3). we've got plenty left over. a really good way to tell exactly how much you need would be to do the whole process in a very cheap fabric (sheets from goodwill work great!) and then figure out from there by laying the pieces out (be sure to mark fur direction) in a rectangular area measuring about 55''x36", which should give you a good estimate of the yardage you need, but make sure to leave extra in case of accidents like upsidown cuts, wonky fur, etc. we lost a good few inches of each colour because the lady at the fabric store refused to cut the fur correctly and sliced right into the fur fibres. i was SO MAD!
A method I want to try: (please tell me if there’s anything wrong with this) -Buy one of those “green screen” suits In the characters base color if available. Use black if not -Carve foam and place on front and sides of thighs, making it look like your legs are pushed back -Add some foam at the back of calves and a bit on ankle -fur the body, and if the character, say, has a yellow base but you had to use a black body suit, paint the body suit yellow before you fur it -add some foam to anywhere else you desire, such as butt, chest, shoulders, etc. That’s the method I want to try when I make my fursuit, any feedback?
Idk if I’m too late or not, but that sounds like a really neat idea! I would probably use a painter suit or something instead though, because those green screen ones are usually spandex and will stretch :/
Thank you so much! I was literally trying to find a good body suit tutorial so I can make one. You are my first choice for fursuit tutorials so this makes so much easier. Thanks so much!
What an adorable suit! Great job skye! I made a head using your tutorial! I’m so happy with how it turned out! I now have an amazing suit of my fursona! This is a dream come true! Thanks a bunch! ❤️❤️
I want to ask a few things How much fur did you use? Will you sell bags of scrap fur of not? What place do you find is the best to get fur from? If your oc is short fired would it be cheaper to get short fur or shave long fur? Last thing can I redraw the drawing you did to try explan Thanks.
I know you didnt ask me but I can tell you where you can find good qualaty fur! Try to check out fursuitsupplies.com (I belive that is what they are called) , fabric.com and bigzfabric (they have an amazon and etsy shop).
sometimes you can luck out and find super nice fur at your local fabric store. I got all of mine at my local Joanne's, or on their website. You'll need between 4 and 6 yards total for a full fursuit, depending on height/weight/character. there's also a ton of other great websites for fur (the person who commented before me named a few!)
Hello! I’m a young fur (11 yo) and getting my fursuit head in two weeks on my birthday as well as the feet paws and paws. My mom found a cheap Halloween comstume for a fullsuit and I said no and decided I’ll just make the legs with some old dance leggings I have. They should work well because they stretch and I just don’t use them. I’ll buy foam and I watched multiple tutorials to figure out how to fur it. AND I COULDN’T FIND ANY!!! So this video is a big help to me so tysm!!💕
heres a tip when making arm sleeves do not measure the wrist measure the elbow because when you measure the wrist its not the same with of the rest of your arm making it so you cant put your hand through the elbow is the same as the rest of your arm.
little tip to help the fur pile from getting caught in the seem is to use packing tape about 1 cm or so away from the seem to keep that fur all going the same direction. it also helps shedding when you store the fur ;) hope that helps.
I like your tutorials. They are nice and informative. The timelapse is a nice touch for people to see the time and effort that goes in....but it might be nice if you can add some close up shots for examples of the finished stitching in areas Keep up the great work 😎🤜🤛
Ur really good, i want to make fursuits like you but i dont have the money or patience lol. i have been trying to find all the materials at a low price. I really wanna make my oc's into a suit, me and my friend really like furrys and fursuits. My friend is going to make one, but unfortunately i dont think i will be able to make my own Fursuit. But i will try :) i love ur work and you are amazing :)
I have a question; If you don't have fabric chalk and don't know where to/can't get some, what can you use to trace on black fur? A lot of my planned suits have black one them, so what do you suggest? Thanks and i love your work ^^
Hey there! This is Skye's partner as she is currently around in Europe but I can answer that one. There are two ways (Probably more but i'm not the actual fursuit maker haha). The most common is making it separately as per the tail tutorial video also on this channel and fastening through a slit in the back of the body suit with a belt. That is what I have on my fursuit and you'll find it is what most fursuits have. The other way I know is to literally just sew it onto the suit just the same as binding and sewing the pattern together, of course you'd do that after. you have all the pattern sewn together. This is less preferable as it makes it harder to clean or at least more fiddly to use. I'd recommend just the belt loops, so check out that tutorial if you haven't! It should explain it better than I can! Hope that helps! -Baltomire
Tip: while sewing put “a sewing in progress” sign on your door or just lock the door so your mother doesn’t scare you by running in the room and you... let’s just say you go to the hospital
hmm ya i wanted to make one but i messed up a couple times but weve all been there right? love ur videos skye keep on being successful cause i think that is what your good at doing$$$$
THANK YOU!! do you know how to kinda make the feet that are on beauty of the bass? I was kind inspired by that style and I wanted to make my own style but kinda like it
Is there any way to add 4 arms to a fursuit? I've been looking around and I know it's been done before, (see pocari's top 10 favorite fursuits video) but do you have any idea how it's done?? Also, lovely job!
you would make 2 fake arms, stuff them, sew them to the body under your real arms, and attach them to the real arms using a Nylon Thread (or another strong see-through material) :>
Thank you so much Sky because of you I was able to make a job crotch for suit of a fox dog and it looks absolutely amazing thank you so so much I wish I could show you but I don't know how
homegirl learning japanese while making fursuits that’s a whole Other level of grind
ik, learning japanese itself is extremely difficult. even fursuits.
Rip, I hope you are doing well!
^
i hope we get a more in depth tutorial on how to add padding to the suit ;w; cant wait till we do!
Yea totally!! Its almost like attaching padding to digi suits is a trade secret lol
I will most definitely be remaking it as soon as I am able!

QwQ i can't afford even one part of a fursuit
When I make mine I’ll be sure to watch oversimplified aswell
Amazing tutorial but here's a question how much fur would you need let say for a 5'3 person?
FoxMew4044 how much what?
@@kiko2115 fur, as in how much to buy
Rainbow Potato omg I’m so stupid I didn’t see the “fur” part

Pixie Moonglow Joann fur isn’t Shave able sadly
Carol It is.
@@iLoveStaletortillas It is, you just gotta look for quality vs. craft fur. Always make sure to get a swatch first for testing, too.
You were learning japanese! I started learning from that channel too! That channel has one of the best teaching methods.
Aaa thanks (: totally going to use this for a “project”

If you are wanting to do it a easy way just get a onesie and see on fur to the onesie. Then sew on the tail
What’s better foam or polyfill padding? This is for a protogen fursuit with removable armour.
I Missed it I was sleeping :(
But I still watch it till the end don’t worry :D
Am I really this early? Luv ya Skye >w
I really need this cause I’m a young wanna be fur
You don’t need a fursuit to be a furry :3
omg i was sooooooo excitedlyfascinated when i heard THEIVESS GUILD SYMBOL! i just love skyrim so much best game of the century.
Oblivion was better with its quests, but less amazing graphics. They should really do a revamp on oblivion! I love skyrim though!

Was the project ok
alright what did you do
The way I make my bodies is is sow long sleeve shirts and leggings together then sow the dur design on
hmm ya i wanted to make one but i messed up a couple times but weve all been there right? love ur videos skye keep on being successful cause i think that is what your good at doing$$$$
Now im so excited to start my fursuit head and the body suit ☺️
Hey Skye! Can you make quad suits? If so, could you do a tutorial? I'd like to make one for my horse fursona 😁
I don’t think she does,
All I can think about is how comfy and warm it would be in there!
I want to see you make a dragon fursuit
Not to be rude, but I’d really want a more depth tutorial on how to pad the fursuit. I was a bit confused at that part. 😅
Question do you shave the fur before or after you have put it on the suit
Playlists To enjoy: Before, but after you cut out all the pieces
Have you ever done something like a lynx? I would be very interested in how you would do the face shape
could you do a Phoenix fursuit tutotial? head to feet? ( along with tail )
But how do u make the actual pattern on the dummy?? That's what I want to see. Since I'm a newbie lol
I'm straight
April fool!!
...?
LOL
Wow lol
THANK YOU!! do you know how to kinda make the feet that are on beauty of the bass? I was kind inspired by that style and I wanted to make my own style but kinda like it
What types of stitches were you using?
I believe they are blanket stitches
Is there any way to add 4 arms to a fursuit? I've been looking around and I know it's been done before, (see pocari's top 10 favorite fursuits video) but do you have any idea how it's done??
Also, lovely job!

@@Wynorra I recommend putting them on a kidney belt like a tail, if you so them straight on they're gonna sag and seams will be more prone to popping
How would you order one?
Anybody wanting to know she used Krita for the drawing part I’m pretty sure
Nah, it was photoshop
She even said lol
could you use a friend or a sibling for the dummy?
Me:buys fursuit
Mom:why is there so much fur
Me:I’m a fox :3
I am very gratefull for this it shall help me alot thx so much have a good day! bye!^^
I won’t MAKE that bodysuit plastic thing in the start, can I buy it somewhere???
No xD that’s a model of the customers body. You have to make it
SHE WATCHES OVERSIMPLIFIED OMG I LOVE OVERSIMPLIFIED
that all looks like very hard work
Skye can you make a body suit tutorial but with planigrade legs?
You gained a new sub because of the tutorial and also...OVERSIMPLIFED
Can you use a morph suit? As the base and then add the fur?
this helped me so much
OooH you should order a bunch of fur scraps off of etsy, and make a sparkledog!
Btw can you make a video on how to make the tape dummy for the body suit.... it’s fine if you can’t do the video tho
So... is there a way to make a digi bodysuit without a duct tape dummy? I don’t like the idea having tape put on my prosthetics...
But how do I make a duct tape dummy?
Do you need the duck tape dummy if you do it for yourself?
Would you recommend this for beginners? Because if so I'm using it... and if not I'm still using it
Thank you so much Sky because of you I was able to make a job crotch for suit of a fox dog and it looks absolutely amazing thank you so so much I wish I could show you but I don't know how
Please could you make a tutorial of how to make the duck tape dummy? It’s fine if not :)
I want a Fursuit made by you HOW MUCH
Can you maybe deliver lake for the suits to people
I just bought an outfit that’s the same colour as my mask that I made it’s chewbacca. XD
Oversimplified is the best thing to watch
What if you want the knees to go out like the big ones
Where did you get the fur?
