That's such a neat way of doing the tail base! Also about your theory, id definitely agree, the second tail follows the natural curve of your body, more so than something which looks like an S and ends up bumping you every 5 seconds lol. Thanks for sharing this :)

Ahh I'm so glad you liked it, thank you!!! And that makes sense about following the curve of your body. I'm excited to make a lot of different tails with this method that all have nice wagging motions!!

👀 well hello there

5:27 there's a smile :)

And... I have no idea why it never hit me before that the stuffing seam can be put in the middle of the tail so that stuffing isn't nearly as nightmare-ish as otherwise. Also there are indeed commercially available tails with similar ideas (that is, the "coming straight out" part), but I guess for this to actually work there are 2 designs working together, that base go out almost straight, and the whole tail slant away without curving back. Commercially available ones seem to never think of the second part and would just sag down, despite looking more convincing when not being worn. That is, except crocodile/dinosaur tails I guess, but those are basically butt spikes that won't sag down whatsoever.

Hey, what do you do if there’s a part of the pattern (like a spot) directly on the seam line of the tail?

@freckledcatcreations

4 жыл бұрын

OH dang, that would have been really good to include but this one was all one color. Hmm.... I'll be making my next spotty tail sometime around December, but I doubt you wanna wait that long. I can see what I can do about verbally describing :/ I would sew the tail up on that seam line like normal, stopping where the spot would be, and resuming at the other side. Then cut the fur out where the spot should be. Then Get the spot that's a different color, fit it into that hole, and blanket stitch it in.

If you moved your tracing paper closer to the edge and each other, you'd save a ton of fabric and could make much more with it. This stuff costs way too much to be wasting, girl! 😆
