oh, this is such a great tutorial for like a dinosaur, dragon, lizard, or reptile tail! I made a fursuit dino tail before that was just 2 mirrored pieces sewn together and I made the pattern extra fat to make up for the roundness. Also, hearing the phrase "fold it hot dog style" just sent me 😂

I’m really surprised your videos don’t have more views, since they’re really useful

Thank you for the tutorial! I love how you show that a soft curve can make a huge difference in the shape, and can make something less rigid.

I tried this recently on a triceratops plush and it worked perfectly! It’s the kind of thing that yeah I maybe could’ve figured out on my own via trial and error, but having this video and the next one about attaching it to the body gave me the confidence to go for it. Seriously I feel like my plush making has leveled up since I found this channel thank you so so much ❤️
