as a fursuit maker this was incredibly entertaining and impressive

oh my god i literally teared up at the footage of the person going “OH MY GOD YOURE THE BIRD” because you must’ve brought so much joy to that person’s day?? as a cosplayer that’s genuinely my favourite part, having other people be SO HAPPY you’re the character you cosplayed as. i’m happy you captured that on camera

HOUR LONG VIDEO? Time to break out the paints and get craftin' my self!

i'm so happy lmao, so many times i've seen videos (not sarah's specifically) that are so interesting and are so well thought out but they aren't very long since the majority of people on youtube prefer shorter videos, i absolutely love longer videos though so this is a win for me

I am so impressed! Also, a tip for staying cool in this costume in the future: Make a simple vest out of thin, breathable fabric that has little pockets in it and buy some of those ice packs that you snap to activate. Activate the ice packs and put them in the pockets, then put the costume on over the vest. You can also make little leg bands that will hold them in as well. That way you aren’t risking overheating when you wear it.

OR! there is already a product that does this, it actually works so well the navy uses it! Its called an EZcooldown vest

THAT WAS YOOOUUU!!

As a fursuit maker myself, I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO impressed by that!!! You did an amazing job- especially with the wings. Also, if you're looking for a feet pattern that doesn't stick out too much, maybe consider making sock paws or normal shoe paws- the talons don't have to stick out too much if you don't want them to (espically if you do sock paws), and there are tons of good patterns out there. Also also, make sure you're disinfecting the suit after you wear it!!! Usually you can just used watered down isopropyl alchohol and spray it into the head, body, wings, e.t.c. But the reason you have to disinfect is because you are sweating sooo much lol. And if you don't clean the suit properly (btw the body suit should be fine to put in the wash- just don't put it in the dryer), it's going to get super gross, smell weird, and look weird. This goes for the head as well- you need to spray disinfectant almost every time you wear it to prevent it smelling weird and the growing of mold (epically if it's not lined or your not wearing a balaclava). Also make sure you're brushing the fur to keep the boi lookin nice :D Also also, you can get some under armor to wear that's sweat wicking that'll help you keep cool and help keep sweat out of the suit more; I don't have a fullsuit, but I know that helps a lot of fursuiters stay cool and keep the suits cleaner. Anyway you did a great job :D)

Just finished the video- as a fursuit maker and furry, this is a really really good first "fursuit" cosplay! Especially considering that you did a full bodysuit + wings! Hyped for all of your future projects! :D (P.S. if you're ever curious about how to do a furry-ish project again, feel free to DM a maker within the community! There are certain types of fur trimming that could help fur look more like feathers, if that was something you got stuck on! We're always glad to help out :D!)

Oh, this is so cool. I was a puppeteer for a number of years (the videos on my channel are pretty much all puppet-related videos) and one year, my brother asked me to make a mascot of a hockey team for his son, and I had no idea how to do it, but the furry tutorials online made the move from puppetry to mascot-making was super easy.

Omg literally my cosplay inspiration. This channel is why I got into cosplay

Laughs in furry 😂 You did a MARVELOUS job, Sarah! Hope to see more furry style cosplay in the future!

The crafter will laugh at you if you doubt its power. It will prove you wrong. It will sew through ANYTHING. My old band teacher got it to make a new reindeer suit for a holiday photobooth. He told me it sewed through EVERYTHING, that it didnt even WHINE. He used it to sew the head together since the last one he made had issues with the head panels coming apart. He has never had a sewing machine that could do that. He used THICK ass foam for the head and it laughed at him thinking that would be a challenge for it, and happily sewed through it.

The sheer dedication to become da birb... holy crap, I admire you so much! You are truly a master cosplayer. I can't wait to see your trips to Florida and Sweden soon too! :oo

I just wanna say, I love this so much! Not only is the cosplay AMAZING, you were also so incredibly respectful and encouraging about furries! I'm not a furry, but my best friend is and I'm just so grateful for how supportive of the community you've been. So many people have such a negative and toxic view of furries and it's such a breath of fresh air to see someone who recognizes the amazing aspects of the furry community. Ps. For the question of if you're a furry now, that's up to you! Personally I believe that it's up to the individual to decide if they consider themselves a furry. There are tons of people who make and wear fur suits but don't consider themselves furries. There's also tons of people who don't have a fursona that are still furries. Either way is totally cool! Heck, tons of furries still consider furry allies to be part of the community so there's no pressure to say you're a furry just to be part of the community! Sorry for the mini essay, I hope it made sense and was easy to read!

My old furry self coming back to present me screaming i should make my own fursuit now that i know how to sew You're a Cosplay inspiration for me, and you made a FURSUIT ?! THANK YOU FOR BRINGING TULIN IN OUR WORLD

I'm strangely proud of you for this adventure. You used some older fursuit making techniques, sure, but you also added some of your seamstress knowledge into the mix and I really think this was a fun learning experience for both you and the fursuit makers who watched this! I know I now have some new techniques for future fursuit making I want to use thanks to your sewing tips!

It turned out so amazing!! Kitty and Tassel were such good helpers

I was so excited for this to come out ! I was so curious about who you would cosplay and holy cow I did not expect this, it’s absolutely awesome and it blew me away in every way possible !!!!

aaa this is such a good suit, so proud of you for dipping your toes into the fursuit craft!! I would have gone with follow-me eyes instead of puppet eyes if you want something dynamic on such big eyeballs, but I think all put together it still works well (if you make the eyes concave behind the ornament domes they will give the illusion of following you around, i suggest looking up fursuits with follow-me eyes for more info and examples). the body and clothing are excellent though, your craftsmanship on the harness is downright masterful too, the tricks you used to keep the thing rigid worked really well and turned out looking really crisp. One note on the head, using metal and wires so close to your face is kinda scary, I would avoid doing it as much as possible, especially on a foam base. Falling or collisions in that head could cut or poke you pretty bad. I only really see flat metal pieces like that used in constructing resin or bike helmet heads (or else in buyer beware articles) so please be careful!

I agree with the eyes thing; follow me eyes are great for the moving illusion, but also because you can see through them rather than having to look through the beak, which is what most fursuit makers do.

I will forever love when cosplayers wander into fursuiting, though it’s usually through the fnaf fandom I’m not a furry nor a big cosplayer, but it’s always a delight to see this cross over

I am beaming with pride for you!! As a fursuitmaker I'm so proud of what you achieved!!! You did so well!!!

I feel like a lot of what you’ve expressed here in this video- how working on the build made you feel, how you felt about attending the con in costume- all of it It really encapsulates the *good* parts of the community. It’s all about self expression, putting yourself in character and having a fun time. It was nice to see all of this shine through in a *cosplay* build video of all places! Shows that the communities really aren’t that different at all. Some people wear faux leather, suede and the likes and others wear couch foam and faux fur xD Anyways- my fursona is a dragon! And I can definitely see you being a cat hahaha. Well, a cat *or* a deer!

I love the feet! Basically, you just make spats for your shoes. The whole costume is adorable. Now I want to make a plushy. 😄

Hi Sarah!! I just wanted to say thank you for your videos, you're a HUGE source of inspiration to me, you've inspired me to start cosplaying and I cannot thank you enough, I love what you do!! 💕

Fursuit making is really just 70% trial and error, and the other 30% is just fudging to make something work. Seeing you attempt your first fursuit is so amazing and entertaining, and to have it come out so WELL is insane!!!! I was lazer-focused the entire hour I watched this❤ Also, because you mentioned that you would be a cat if you had a fursona, expect some fanart in the discord very soon!!👀

Hi Sarah! I haven’t cosplayed in 10 years but watching your vids for the last two weeks has inspired me to get started again! Remaking my Blissey cosplay! Very excited for it thanks so much for motivating me ❤

Same. This channel has reawakened something in me.

AUGH THIS FURSUIT IS SO COOOOL!!! it looks amazing and im so proud of you!!! also my process while making any cosplay is just trial and error so i was wondering if you would ever make an outtakes video where you show things not going according to plan? i think that would be fun to see. good luck in Sweden and my fursona would be an eel :3

when you spoke about cosplaying for totk. I would of guessed zelda or sonia or even rauru. this is so unexpected but I always enjoy your videos so much. I always feel like I'm learning so much. so thank you 😊 💓

Love how the whole video is Sarah suffering but in the end it's a masterpiece and she ends with an inspirational speech on making your cosplay even if you're terrified at the thought of making it ❤❤❤

Seeing all the people so happy to see you as Tulin brought a tear to my eye. It's such a special, unmatched feeling when someone sees you and you can see their eyes light up and the giant smile that spreads across their face as they run up to you. It's something that words alone cannot describe. So happy for you. Ps I'm not a furry but if I was I think I would be a bat. They are very neat little creatures

i know you didn't super love using the male/ female analogy in your inverted corner tutorial. if i may, there's nuetral terms in geometry for just this. convex and concave would be able to aptly replace male and female descripters. in a tutorial setting the more ley biological terms also used in electronics makes sense, however if you want to avoid those terms geometry's got your back!

Thanks for the tip! I then also after i filmed that part was like Dang i could have just said inny and outy and that woulda made just as much sense.

Love all ur cosplays Sarah U inspired me to start sowing my own cosplays which turned out to be a lot more fun then I thought:))

I love how insane your cosplays are! You always choose a really complex cosplay and figure out a way to make it. You are so inspiring!

i love Sarah being in her furry arc😂 Tulin looks great tho, you did an awesome job ❤ Edit: OH MY GOD I LOVE THAT YOU GOT TO MEET CRISTINA VEE WHILE IN TULIN!!! AND GOOD LUCK IN THE NCC!

Tulin is great, and that look so fun! And so are accurate character cosplays! My Lucario blue fur was close to $30 a yard, so you did pretty good. And yes, you are correct that different fur piles are different to work with. For Lucario's fluffy torso, I have 2" pile fur, and my regular machine wouldn't use it, so I had to use my fully metal heavy-duty vintage machine, and so much brushing and picking the seams! If you want truly invisible fur seams, use a long stitch first, then brush it, and then go over it with a smaller stitch so less of the pile gets stuck. But honestly, it's pretty forgiving. I also learned that wearing a mask or face cover when cutting fur is helpful so it doesn't end up in your face.

this video really inspired me to get over procrastinating making my grammeowster chef cosplay from monster hunter

Suggestion for anyone having issues with the fur pile getting eaten by seams: if you brush the fur away from the edge of the fabric and then clip or pin it in place like that then less of it will be stuck, and just a little brush can hide the seam entirely. It's easier if you do the initial sewing by hand because you can push each section out of the way as you go, but it will obviously take longer, so depends on your circumstances. I have also seen fursuit makers use blanket stitch, and copied this for my own creations. I guess it has the benefit of finishing the seam at the same time, but I don't know the actual purpose for it. I reckon an overlocker might do a neat job for making a fur bodysuit as long as you brushed the fur pile inwards before so it doesn't get cropped. 🤔

I love how thrifty you are and how you are able to find existing remnants and use them up :) You can't even tell in the final product. Fantastic!

idk why but whenever I can't motivate myself to start working on cosplay I always turn on this video. Like, I like your other videos just as much, this is just somehow the GET UP AND DO IT video for me

Man, I'm so grateful of your graphic explanations honestly They're so cute but also so incredibly helpful

It's not why I cosplay, but I love the sheer excitement people get recognizing your cosplays. I was at a local con and I saw someone from the other side of food court excitedly pointing at my friend and I, and I waved them over for a photo. Watching their smile grow made my day!

Oh I remember being very confused the first time I dove into inverted corner hell - but eventually the quilt looked really nice 😂

Sarah, this video saved my cosplay! I needed to make horns that come out of the sides of my head, and I would have had no idea how to do it if you hadn't mentioned the hanger wire. I used it and it worked perfectly! Thank you!! ❤

The person who ran across the hall to see the bird 😭😭 that my FAVOURITE kind of reaction when I cosplay!! Its so wholesome 😭❤️

Oh! Your "break a needle on that like button" animation made me remember: I broke my very first needle recently! I was on a self-assigned mission to sew 5 skirts in 2 days (I got them all in 3) and I broke a needle in the process!

As another fursuit maker, this is awesome!! There’s little to no cons on this cosplay, absolutely amazing :D you did most of it right and I bet if you do continue to do things like this in the future, you’ll do great ^^

Sarah showing us how cool the sewing machine is reminded me exactly those ads with sewing machines id watch as a kid back in 2000s and wonder who the heck needs to sew through layers of weird materials...... as a fellow cosplayer....yes

I'm not a furry and I've never really worked with fur but I'm making a few test runs of ears right now and seeing your experience was really helpful! Good luck in Sweden, I know you said you can't win but I'm so excited for you to get to show off Miku after putting so much hard work into her!

I LOVE IT SARAH

So cool you met the VA! That makes it extra-special! I saw your outfit as a cosplay over a furry due to the attention to detail for a specific character over a fursona, which can be incredibly complicated, too, but you were going for a specific character.

If you have good ventilation, you can also use a soldering iron with a cutting blade to cut (well, melt) there will be basically no shedding and it seals it so the edge is stronger. Works on plastic type fabric, so polyester velvet too. It will discolor the very edge, so you cant have any exposed edging especially with white fabric.

Ever since moving to Dunedin I have wanted to make a foxie onesie for the winter, which is about as close to a fursona as I will ever get. 🦊

the printed out eyes and modpodge is how i do custom furby eye chips! it's so funny to see it on a big scale like this guy

The reactions of people: "IT'S THE BIRD!!!" was so wholesome i hope i can meet you one day as The Bird, would be everything i've ever wished for

Hangar strapping, hole strapping, or plumbers strap is great stuff I've used in cosplay for years. It's intended use is to attach pipes to structures and hold them in place, like underneath a sub-floor. :)

ok but getting a hug from someone in this cosplay or just a cosplay with wings seems like heaven,;.;/,.;' like id cry of happiness

Have zero idea what or who the bird is but this was outstanding and you deserve every single one of the reactions you got xx

it was so crazy seeing some fabric and foam turn into a whole fur suit "just" by the power of your very skilled hands!

ONE HOUR VID LET'S GOOO I HAVE SO MUCH FUN WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS AND I ALWAYS LEARN NEW THINGS ILY

the makeup tutorial in the background that you aren't watching is such a vibe

I loved it! It was cool to see you do this in depth. Always happy to see you tackle something like this. Also the bit with you and pins at the end was so sweet.

THAT WAS YOU?!?! SARAH!!! I'M SO PROUD OF YOU GIRLY!!!!

Loved the quest line edits! Amazing work, and I’m glad you got to meet the VA as well! Best of luck in your future endeavors!

the result looks AMAZING!

i’ve been super on the fence about making my own cosplay but you know what, if you can become the bird, the boy, then i can at least make a weapon that’s basically just a rectangle with a trigger.

I love that you put so much effort into your videos I get so excited when you post I save the new videos up to binge them

Aww, I love how happy everyone at the con were seeing you! What a fun and unique cosplay!

your videos never fail to make me cry, this is so incredibly impressive!!!! so excited for supercon vlog ^^

teared up a little from the shots from the con very touching to see the cosplay in action and so many happy people, especially you, Tulin came out very good and cool and awesome!!

Omg a new machine 😱😱😱 im super excited!!!!!

As someone who is also in the process of building a different animal from totk... I AM SO HAPPY ABOUT THIS VIDEO AND I LOVE YOUR TUTORIAL/TEACHING STYLE

i truly appreciate the amount of effort you put into all your work - be it the cosplay or the video (it's always both). it's honestly admirable

Absolutely proud of you! It was so fun to watch and it turned out absolutely gorgeous!!

I am incredibly excited to watch this!!!

The amount of joy this brought me is insane. I love that goofy little birb boi and you literally brought him to life 😭

youre a godsend for having subtitles on this 🙏 thank you for doing more than youtubers bigger than you, it really is appreciated 💙

1 hour of sarah spaceman content, i am absolutely winning right now, thank you for the content

the bernina going through all those layers is amazing, wow this cosplay is such an achievement - so cool !! love the eyes !! the footage at the end is so FUN love that for you

We love you Sarah!!🥹❤️

This was an absolute delight to watch. People's joy in seeing you, and you getting to meet the voice actor, had me in tears 😭

Thank you so much for all the work that goes into explaining how your cosplays are done. I'm so much more confident about making my own cosplay thanks to your videos!

I listened/watched this at work and it made me smile, laugh, and have a good time. Great video. Awesome cosplay

That looks SO PRETTY OH MY GOSH!!!!!

This is so crazy, this is like 5 videos in one! Well done!

This is such a wholesome video! As always!

this was so well executed!! when you teased this project i wasn't sure how you were gonna pull this off but it turned out so so cool!!

oh my god if i had seen you walking around that would have made my entire weekend!! this cosplay turned out so cute and i'm so glad you had such great reactions to Tulin!! fantastic work for your first venture into a cosplay like this (especially the head- fursuit heads are hard to get right!) this honestly makes me wanna try to make a rito cosplay in the future because i also love Tulin very much as well as a lot of the other rito 😊

Absolutely living for the Wing sleeves!

I just love watching your longer videos and seeing every step of the process. Not only does it help me learn, but it really helps me get over the overwhelming just sheer lack of knowing what the fuck im doing and inspiring me and making me want to cosplay and to create!

So wholesome to see the joy people had when they saw you! And you did a great job, even though you didn't satisfy your perfectionist brain. And it was really interesting to watch! Keep up the great videos and cosplays! ❤

the ending was so inspirational and seemed so joyful!! one of my favorite things bout cosplaying is meeting people who are as excited to see your character as you are!!!

Good luck Sarah!!

I watched all of this not even realizing it was an hour long lol, such a fun video to watch

I’m watching this while making my strawberry miku cosplay, and it helps me focus so muchhhh, small mention I was at a craft store for fabric and I told the store lady I was a Cosplayer and she told me Yaya Han went to that same store!!! And I live in a pretty small populated country *5 million* and I was so hyped!! I am also a cat owner lol 😂. And I also make Fursuits as well, and that Tulin is SO good! I LOVE the wings.

Seeing the end result made me very happy! Excited to see your NCC skit too, hopefully the stream works :3

Sarah’s videos are so good!

Wow, just wow!! You did amazing!!! Your Tulin looks awesome 🥰🥰

I was just rewatching through your channel when I woke up the next day and there was a new video! The algorithm knew!!
