Fursuit hoodie?

[aikawiifrostie]

I was thinking about making a custom fit hoodie for a character that I'm making a fursuit out of (ref here: http://fav.me/d8dugolRead more... )

I saved this picture off the web from long ago, no idea on its whereabouts.

hey there!
My fursona has a custom hoodie and I managed to make it for her: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/13782213/ http://www.furaffinity.net/view/12920776/

To make your own you could either find a hoodie pattern and edit it to the needs of your design, or you could do what I did and buy a normal hoodie and alter it to match my design. The hoodie I got was originally all white and I appliqued the orange designs on.

To be honest I'm going to make another custom hoodie soon that I can wear with the suit~ I this one here is more wearable for generic human wear rather than suiting wear- on that note I would add that if you can? Don't pick up a super warm hoodie with thick fleece- go for something thinner if you can. Suiting is always hot enough~!

Thanks for the ref and tip, I think I'll make my hoodie from scratch and apply the necessary adjustments.

No problem, hope it works out well for you~

I made mine based on an X-Large commercial hoodie pattern which I heavily altered.

They're really pretty easy to make. The hardest part was getting the ear pockets to fit right, but if you make them large enough, it won't matter so much.

Hey, saw the edit question and thought I'd help out. I've had many experiences with picking the wrong fabric for the job (sometimes ending with really neat results, and sometimes ending with screaming into a pillow and then cathartically ripping the failed project to shreds
