I'm finally finished with my Jhonen_C fursuit!  I'm so proud of it, I just gotta show it off! Go here for pics: www.livejournal.com/~_growly_/77052.htmlThis weekend, I think I'll update my fursuiting site with construction notes and more pics, so watch out for that. ^__^ What do you think? |

I have a mask construction How-To and a paw pattern on my website, but I don't have a guide to bodysuits yet.
Basically, you go out and buy a generic animal costume pattern and alter it to your needs. Get some really cheap cotton fabric and make a prototype suit and get it to fit you nicely, by taking it in where needed (I had to take it in a lot, the sides, the arms, legs, neck... pretty much everywhere xD).
Then take it apart with a seam ripper and use those as your pattern.
Trace the pattern out onto your fur and cut it out (I use an X-Acto knife to cut, it only cuts the fur backing, not the fur itself).
Once you've cut it out, sew it together as directed on the directions that came with the original pattern. A sewing machine isn't 100% neccesary, but if you don't want to spend hours and hours sewing and pricking your fingers, I strongly reccommend investing in one.
One the suit is sewn and the zipper installed, put it on. If it's too loose, put it on inside out and trace around the baggy areas. Sew on the line and try it on again. If all seems to fit well, cut off the excess and put it back on right-side out. Sew the tail on, and you have yourself a bodysuit. ^_^
The footpaws I made by gluing foam toes to a pair of old shoes, then furring over the whole thing. I put pleather claws and pawpads on with hot glue.

^_^ That is so cool!! You did a great job!
I've always wanted a fursuit...but I will never be able to make one myself, and if I want to get one custom made it will cost a lot! ;_;
