Now to some this idea may seem to be a bit crazy but I also understand your concerns as well. As of course there is not any secrets to making a fursuit but this is a question that many people who would like to make a costume of this sort would like to know how to do. As with this series hopefully it will answer any questions you might have and make this process a bit easier to understand.
With that being said I would like to take the opportunity to produce such a product myself. Now in the process I would explain all aspects of the process to provide a through explanation, all the way from making basic hand paws down to the head itself. As i believe with the right amount of research and knowledge anyone could if willing make a good quality product.
Before going any further lets determine our game plan:
1) For the sake of resources we will be making a Albino white Lion partial. which will include one set of hand paws, feet paws, and of course the head.
2) Determining the costs aka the price of materials and tools required for this project.
3) Design, getting measurements, making patterns, and research.
4) Producing the costume itself, if anything and if we are lucky the partial can be made within the time frame of a month but we may never know until we actually do it.
Through the course of this series the project may take a different direction but do not be alarmed as it is a normal, changes will happen. Plus if anything I would totally recommend to take it slow and steady as this guide is meant to be a very useful help tool, that explains what actually goes into making a fursuit partial, or even a full suit. On the next post I will explain the history of such a costume.
Lastly as a final note I have never made a fursuit before but in the process of this series to those of you read it will be learning process for both of us. But I would recommend that you would at least have some knowledge of sewing and a machine that is able to handle to working with faux furs and a few other materials.
