Is that real fur???<\/summary>\n

Nope! I only use Faux Fur. It's made from Acrylic- or Polyester Fibres and it's unbeatably soft!<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

Where do you get your Fur?<\/summary>\n

I mainly use fur from HowlFabrics and BigZfabric (which you can also get from Stoffhummel. I also get my Minky from there!) <\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

What can your fursuits withstand?<\/summary>\n

All my fursuits are waterproof by default. The bodysuits are sewn using a fur sewing machine. This results in barely noticeable seams that are quite stretchable. The ears are double-glued, and the tail always has a belt loop, regardless of the desired attachment method. This way, the most delicate parts are well protected from tensile stress. The fursuit is built on a foam core by default, so it won't take damage when dropped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note that the whole Fursuit is sensitive to heat! Faux Fur is made of acrylic- or polyester fibres that can melt together quite easily. \nTherefore, keep your Fursuit away from any Heat Sources!
Halte deinen Fursuit daher Fern von W\u00e4rmequellen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please follow my care instructions to ensure the suit has a long life!<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

Can you put electronics in my fursuit?<\/summary>\n

As such, yes. However, the suit is then no longer waterproof, so I'm generally not a fan of electronics in the fursuit. If you still want ventilators or LEDs in your suit, please contact me in advance!<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

What style can you build?<\/summary>\n

I'm currently trained in toony to semi-realistic. I don't offer Realistic and Kemono at the moment, but they are possible as part of an Artistic Freedom commission.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

Do you accept NSFW Commissions?<\/summary>\n

No. My Fursuits are family-friendly exclusively.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

What machines do you use?<\/summary>\n

I get asked this question surprisingly often. If you want to start building fursuits yourself, a standard household sewing machine is perfectly sufficient to begin with, regardless of the brand and features. Even for fur trimming, inexpensive clippers can get you a long way! It's better to experiment with cheaper materials first before purchasing expensive equipment. This way, over time, you'll get a feel for which machines best suit your needs; everyone has different preferences. Personally, I prefer to work with the following machines:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
