The reason I keep going... Sometimes I have hard days in the studio where things aren't going right, you know the days. Sewing machine skipping stitches, a carve not looking right, an unexpected dye bleed... but I always remember, I'm not only doing this for me, but for her too.

THIS IS THE GREATEST SHOW! I'm excited to show off my new costume for CFz. Out with the hawaiian shirt and in with the Showotter! Thanks to my Mum for spending a lot of time creating the costume. #FursuitFriday Fursuit Maker: ✂️ @selkiesuits.bsky.social

So tell me, do you wanna go? Where it's covered in all the coloured lights Where the runaways are running the night? 🧵 @selkiesuits.bsky.social 📷 @hobber.co.uk 🌍 @scotiacon.bsky.social 2026 Dance Competition ⌚ #FursuitFriday

I thought I was done with the serval/dragon but when I came back in the workshop with fresh eyes, something just didn't feel right. The muzzle was a bit too blocky and the expression was hard to read. Now he's ready for interior work then fur! #fursuitfriday

This is the power pose I ended my routine on at @scotiacon.bsky.social 2026's dance competition and I am SO HAPPY I finally found someone who captured a photo of it! That was such an amazing and victorious moment for me, eee. 🧵 @selkiesuits.bsky.social 📷 @hobber.co.uk ⌚ #FursuitFriday

The last piece of the Serval Dragon fullsuit is in full swing! This hybrid is tricky to make both elements of feline and fantasy come together, but all in all, I think it's almost ready for furring!

It is #FursuitFriday! We're so glad you made it. Have a hug, if you wish! Fancy anything from the bar? 💛 @azakir.bsky.social 📷 Xeno 🌍 @berkshirefurs.org.uk April 2026

Couple of cuties!

All my mesh eyes are handpainted and are completely unique. I like to go for a soft, sweeping, watercolour style. I use the wonderful eyeblanks from @bigroundlion.bsky.social which are high quality prints, really recommend if you're like me and don't 3D print

I think Ima have a nap until it's the weekend again..

Happy #FursuitFriday! Sorry I've missed the last few, my @azakir.bsky.social here and I were away travelling! But now we're back and ready to give out more fluffy hugs! 🧵 @selkiesuits.bsky.social 📷 @tech.wolf.scot

The spotted milestone of a digitigrade bodysuit is officially COMPLETE! The fit checks went even better than I expected. The extention pieces to the leg cuffs make the zipper attached feet so seamless, the front side appliqué method abolished any need for hand sewing.

FINALLY! Bodysuit is complete! Phew! Just the test fit to go, then final checks and additions then it's head sculpting time, my favourite part!

(1/4) It's been so rewarding being the Head of Charity at @ainmhicon.ie. I never imagined we'd manage to raise over €12,500 for Seal Rescue Ireland in our first year! They have been so amazing with their level of cooperation during the event and months leading to the convention- 📷@coinin.ie

Behold, the Gusset! This technique can really up your fursuit making game ngl

SPOT the feetpaw transition! Super happy with these, I made an extra effort for the extended cuffs for these feetpaws - now they just need sewn to the bodysuit! Feetpaws are built from a modified @spiltgrapesoda.bsky.social slim digitigrade pattern

The puzzle pieces are coming together ✨️

TAIL HOLE! Now that I've got your attention, check out this clean tail sleeve with zipper attachment! When I've been working on zipper tails, I've been finding that having the zipper attached to the seam makes it a bit too fiddly to attach so I decided to make a extension with a fleece strip.

Still going strong on this commission and I'm really taking the time to make sure these seams are near invisible fur side! It takes a lot of preparation for this effect. Time is a huge facet that I believe some people don't factor in when thinking about pricing for fursuits.

LOOK! DANCING DERG!

Did you know this section is actually THREE pieces of fur sewn together?! The magic of seam shaving in effect! Only took me about five minutes (if that!) of brushing to gain that effect, then I did my front stitch appliqué to add more markings that were across the three different sections.

Neat panels of this lovely ivory beaver fur is ready to get sewn now that the edges are shaved down. Sorry for the lack of posts, I've been very busy with mum duties the past few days. Assembly starts tomorrow! Excited!

What? Panels of faux fur is what you'd expect have out on your washing line, right? I accidentally got some washable marker on the fur pile during patterning. Easy fix, just warm water spritz, brush and dry, and you wouldn't even know!

Li ne povas leg... #FursuitFriday

Howdy there, friend. Sun's getting low and the night gets cold in these parts. Want to share the fire with a big fluffy dragon? 🧵 @selkiesuits.bsky.social 📷 @daicymru96.bsky.social 🌍 @scotiacon.bsky.social 2026 ⌚ #FursuitFriday

"No time to rest... ... Just do your best." - Go, Chemical Brothers www.youtube.com/watch?v=LO2R... This song is keeping me going at the moment, lots of things to do, lots of challenges to tackle... let's do this!

SHAVE YOUR SEAMS!? I do this to greatly reduce the bulk of fur in my seams, which means it takes half the time to comb out the fur from inside the seam and on the outside of the fur. Totally optional, it still takes time but so does all that brushing am I right?

I AM SO PLEASED! The front stitch appliqué method has been such a success & I'm thrilled with the results. Only 20 or so spots to go, I managed to sew about 185 in 5-6 working days! (reminder that I only work part time because I'm full-time Mum!) #furries #fursuitmaker #selkiesuits #fursona

Some sexy, circular snipping for #FursuitFriday #selkiesuits #trimming #fauxfur #furry

Epic dragon spinneys!

Gotta love a clean claw base! One of my favourite things to do is detailing fursuits. Trimming markings, adding clean bias finishing and ladder stitching on claws for that nice round base with claws that don't move. #claws #paws #fursuitmaking #selkiesuits #furry

Please help my friend if you can, surgery is happening today x

I think people see the end result of a fursuit & really don't get how much hard work & variety of skills goes into making them. Patterning for example. Have to make sure direction is right, seam allowance, notching for alignment later, labelling...all before even cutting out a single piece of fur!

The sweeties who adopted my premades have been out & about loads! When you've been making fursuits for a long time, sometimes you never get to see them again. So, I'm very thankful for these lovely folks giving these beasties so much love & life! Photo taken & edited by @tech.wolf.scot

A tale in three pictures 😆 #fursuit #sewing #somanymarkingsgosh

My cat is due to go for surgery next Thursday. I have insurance for her & she is getting the surgery no matter what. My friends have gently bullied me into a GFM to help ease the stress on myself & Callie during this time. gofund.me/dfa1dacce please reshare. Thank you so much. 💙

I've gone into more sewing detail of my front stitch applique method but the full tutorial is on my IG. Some of the prep is explained there which is why I speak about using a smidge of water to help keep fur out of the seam...with no context it sounds wild haha

I did more than just a dance comp at @scotiacon.bsky.social - there were also Shenanigans involving workplace safety violations at the Old Mine... 🪡 @selkiesuits.bsky.social 📷 @tech.wolf.scot ⌚ #FursuitFriday

For the first #FursuitFriday of the month I wanna hold a fursuit maker art share! Make fursuits? You qualify and I WANNA SEE! Since the lunar new year has just passed, the first theme is EQUINES; show me those horses! Rules: ✨ interact w/ others, dont drop and go! ✨ rp for visibility ✨ keep it SFW

200 SPOTS ✅️ Yup 200 spots and markings are on this bodysuit and this isn't even all the pieces laid out. It'll be so worth it. But for now I sob for my sanity...and my poor hands 🤣 #spots #spots #spots #spots #spots

Ever have a piece from your pattern that doesn't lay flat? Sometimes, you can either make a cut into a dart, or you may have to separate pieces completely! It depends if a pattern has a convex or concave shape! Usually: Convex = darts Concave = separate pieces #fursuitmaker #tips #patterns

Bodysuit pieces are underway ready for prep! I always label my pieces just so I know what I'm sewing together. With complex designs, it makes it so much easier to keep track of all the pieces, big and small!

Some Selkie Fam members were out and about in Glasgow today!

Follow up video for #fursuitfriday My personal approach to a variation of appliqué and how I intend to use this technique on the bodysuit I'm working on. It's a bit long, but stick with me for results and reasonings!

Did you know you can just applique markings like with pawpads?! Well, you can!

Did I film myself notching and separating pattern pieces for ten minutes just for content. I guess I'm that guy now lol 😆 a much longer 10x speed clip is on my insta! I'm being more meticulous than ever with this bodysuit, I'm going to get the spots and markings CRISP 🙏

BAP! These 5-digit paws are my very own pattern & they're extremely bappa-boppable! This set is for the serval dragon that's in the bodysuit prep stage from my recent posts, just about to start the long process of removing the pattern from the DTD and prepping all that fluff!
