Making Tea the Angel Dragon - Body Part 1

[@Raistlin600]

I cannot tell you how informative this video was! As someone who's never made a proper body suit this really showed each step. I thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos!

This is incredibly helpful, thank you for making this!

What is this music???

[@StonedOuttaMind]

Do you add a little more room for the wearer? Or do you sew right on the line straight from the pattern?

[@Komickrazi]

Christina Foxx I leave a little room. After marking the fabric for cutting, I cut 3/4 - 1” allowance. Most faux fur has a slight stretch to it so it offers some additional forgiveness

I'm super late to the party, but where/how do you buy bolts of fur? Do you just order 10+ yards online? I'm sorry, I'm a new maker and would love to stock up!

[@Komickrazi]

Verniixxx I get asked this a lot! Here is a link to some places I get my fur: komickrazi.com/faq.php#cos1 Some you can also find fur locally at your local fabric store. Most fursuits require (at the very minimum) 3 yards of fur - it really just depends how big the person you are making it is. It’s always better to buy more just in case!

[@TheAwkwardSacOfDucks]

if you could, where did you buy the scaled fur? i'm looking to make a reptilian fursuit and love the look of that type of fur!

[@Komickrazi]

Christen unfortunately it is a dead stock, I only have about 4 square feet left, which really isn’t enough to make anything T_T Occasionally you can find scale texture or bubble fur if you take time to dig around the internet, but it is pretty rare and usually quite expensive

[@TheAwkwardSacOfDucks]

i have found a reptilian faux fur but it only comes in natural colors :( you can buy it here kurtschmidtfabric.com/portfolio-view/reptile-black-faux-fur/ and it comes in white as well, downside being you have to dye it to get a color you like, which if it's a huge swath, will take a long time. this is the best one I've found so far.

[@Komickrazi]

Christen that’s more of a milky fleece than a faux fur. I have used it before. It doesn’t shave well and you actually can’t dye it (faux fur in general doesn’t take dye well since it is a plastic).

[@TheAwkwardSacOfDucks]

gosh darn it :( that's alright, i can make a scale pattern with regular faux fur, it'll just be tedious.

[@riceroudis]

What is the purpose of putting clothes on the DTD and then retaping it? :0 I'm about to make my own bodysuit soon and I don't want it to be too tight.

[@sproxi3960]

To make a pattern I think.

[@sproxi3960]

Dandelion like you would for the head. How you tape it then cut it off and that makes your pattern.

[@gemstonethegamingfox8345]

how much would that cost?

[@Komickrazi]

They are polyfil shaped pillows.
