The day has finally come. This journal is dedicated to our fursuit project, you can follow our progress and failures. I'm doing this, with NimfaHUN, visit her progress journal as well (Fursuit Progress Journal). Don't ask, do it. Seriously.
Additional note: This is our second attempt at making a fursuit.

NO. SEWING. MACHINE. GOD. DAMNIT. Well, it's hand-sewing time then. Sure we want to spend the whole afternoon with this, why not.
To make this not-that-boring, we were listening to music - 3 Shinedown albums to be exact. After that, we were watching cartoons... with... carrots. The dinner was pizza, thank you mom Oh, and our old hobby is back: visiting the shop like 5 minutes before it's closing time.

Yay it is finished. Too bad that it's midnight, and you probably won't see this journal until Day 2, because we are bad at writing and we are also lazy to post the journal.

Now that we have the balaclavas ready, it's time to start sculpting/foaming!


Our doll head was too small, so a bit of padding was needed to achieve the right size.


Now let's get really started! Or not... Yeah, we could only work on one head at once, so we dedicated this day for Toby's head. After checking the tutorials again, the first thing we thought would be okay to do, is putting a huge ass foam right on the face.


I have pretty socks. And a long hair. But I like my socks more.
After drawing the eye pattern onto this foam, NimfaHUN started working on the muzzle. Meanwhile I was watching some kind of random cartoon. I was kinda useless x:


I could help with the cheeks and the rest of the sculpting later, yay. We've purchased a thicker piece of foam earlier, but it turned out to be too thick. I couldn't cut through it with the scissors, and we don't have an electric knife - so I was just stabbing the foam with the scissors. After that, I've started to use our super pair of scissors as a knife, it was meant to be a joke, but I got surprised that it was working perfectly.

A bit of shaping here, a bit of shaping there ~
I was trying to make it look like as the head was smiling, I think I've achieved something.


And a bit more shaping...


Aaaand a bit moooore


Finally, at around midnight again (... maybe at 1 am) we've put the ears on together, after many fail attempts. Toby is done!

Mkay, so we kinda forgot to update the journal. I'll try to do Day 3-7 in one run, since I don't really remember everything
Day 3-ish:
I was working on my head that day, with my thumbs hurting from the day before. I could only progress slowly, it was really painful. I might be mistaking here, but I think Toby was working on our T-shirt design and on the Free Hugs board (we didn't use that, but we will surely do next year).
PIC TIME. (Ps.: We've got less picture this time, we were really into working that day)

Day 6-7-ish:
Toby's tail: DONE. Sorry, no picture this time ;;
I was finishing up my head base, while Toby was taping her head base.


At this point, it got pretty clear for me, that we won't be able to finish my head. But the fact that I could see Toby come alive, was keeping me motivated the whole time.
The next thing we did is the paws. Quickly paw pattern, I've cut out the pieces for mine, and then we used the template to get the pattern for Toby's paws.
After this, Toby was sewing her paws, and I started cutting out and sewing the pieces together for her head. We also agreed to stay awake the whole night so we had a chance to finish at least one head.

While we were still on the train, Toby finished my paws. They are sooooo fluffy ;3;
I don't know what else can I tell. The weather was hot, we were tired as hell, the day was long, but I reaaaaaally enjoyed it. LET DA PICTURES TALK


Additional stuff:
During this whole week, we listened through 3 Shinedown albums, watched 2 seasons of Chowder, 2,5 seasons of Family Guy, and some random cartoons on the TV (which was actually my laptop with an online TV opened).

Oh, and one night we were going to the Tesco and Toby noticed a plushie which was in a weird position, and reminded her to a finised fursuit head.


And don't forget our T-shirt. I luv it sooooo much
