Hey, it's me, Hannah. You're not ready for this. I don't even know if I'm ready for this. Today I'm starting a cosplay project that requires faun legs or cedar legs. The first page of Google is not very helpful in determining the difference between fauns and satyrs, but the characters I'm interested in cosplaying with these goat legs identify as fauns. So that's what we're going with. This is going to be like my first big cosplay project and I can't even tell you how excited I am. A friend of mine is hosting a production event in a few weeks, so I've got an actual deadline, and I'm going to spend the next few videos preparing for that event. So welcome to part one of Hannah's Cosplay Fauntent.
So the first thing I'm going to do is figure out the shape of the legs. I have some leftover cushion foam that I'm going to use to add volume to my calves and my quads to give myself more of an appearance of animal legs that bend in the opposite direction. Because my legs don't do that and then I'm going to use the duct tape method again to draft a pattern for the legs, which I will then cut out in faux fur and shave down to look like goat legs. This pattern will be available on my website. If you are also interested in becoming a goat person. I've developed a strategy after watching a few other creators make their own faun legs and I'm kind of combining a few of their ideas to make a plan. But it feels like I'm still winging this. Let's see how it goes.
Oh, okay. That was somewhat claustrophobic. I've never broken a bone, but I imagine that that is what it feels like to have a cast cut off. And I. What a relief.
So I'm kind of concerned that I maybe duct taped around my my leg and the foam a little too tight and kind of compressed the foam. So I lost a little bit of the volume. I'm not going to do that again. That sucked. So what I'm going to do is transfer this pattern to some tracing paper with about a 1 to 1 and a half inch seam allowance just so I have a little extra wiggle room. This is not a perfect science. This doesn't have to be perfect. I just want to get it good enough. The fabric is a faux fur. So I think that's going to be pretty forgiving. And this pattern is not going to be super technical. I was sure to add darts across the most voluptuous parts of the leg. I think we're going to be able to use this. Let's see. Let's transfer this to some tracing paper.
Are you kidding me? at the tail! I can't even tell you how excited I am with how this turned out. Right off the bat. I got to say, these are very warm. But that said, I'm very happy with the fur choice I made. I'm happy with the decision to kind of trim down some of the fur as well. It just gives it more of a, like, dynamic, presumably natural look the hair on goat's legs it's not all the same length. So I think it just kind of makes sense to have some slight variation there. So I'm happy with that decision. I'm not done with the heels yet. I think that that will kind of force a little bit more of a knee bend and make it look even more animal. but I'm going to worry about all of that in part two, In part to I will be finishing the hooves; I will be making sure that there's kind of a seamless transition from the leg down to the hoof, as best I can. And I will also be putting together and preparing for and attending a production event where I will be portraying a certain character, a certain faun character. I left you a little Easter egg in the video, so if you saw the character that I plan to portray in any of my clips from before, let me know. Drop a comment. And if you had as much fun as I did, it would mean the world to me. If you would like and subscribe. And if you do, I will see you in two weeks for part two of Hannah's Cosplay Fauntent. Take care.

[@TasharniCoralie]

Absolutely loving these! I noticed on your website the pattern says coming soon, do you have a rough idea/plan of when that might be?

[@kayn70]

This is actually awesome! I'm excited to see part 2. I missed the Easter egg sadly

[@makinghannah]

I’m so excited for it all to come together!

[@buginarug00]

How many yards of fur would you recommend using? About the amount or a little more than you’d use for normal pants I’m guessing?

[@jane_s.]

These faun legs are amazing!! Out of curiosity, why did you choose to put the main seam on the front of the legs instead of on the insides of the legs (between the thighs downwards). This would help conceal it. Or will the seam be hidden if you brush the fur with a cat brush?

[@makinghannah]

Good Q. There’s probably more I could do to conceal them (like more brushing!), but I actually like the bit of extra structure the seams seem to give at the front and back, where I’m trying to highlight the alternative leg shape. Hope that makes sense!

[@nickiisstyles]

Where did you get the fur??

[@makinghannah]

I believe I got it from Mood!

[@lgrzerostr]

im not trying to be rude, but, pattern?

[@sillylilguy201]

in the description

[@lgrzerostr]

"Coming soon" and has been since the video came out. I'm allowed to be curious *when* it will be released.

[@sillylilguy201]

@@lgrzerostr oh my bad !! i didn't actually click the link 😭 bummer it's not there

[@makinghannah]

Hello hello! I have been having trouble with turning this into I reproducible pattern. And even if I had one available, it would still not be available in Hannah-size. I would highly recommend taking the self drafting route! But I’ll definitely keep the channel updated on when I do get a pattern up for the faun legs! 👍🏻

[@lgrzerostr]

@@makinghannah ok, thanks!

[@joseacabrera0613]

Would you make me a pair please I'll pay for anything
