Would anyone be interested in Fursuit/Costume Patterns?
11 years ago
Question! Especially for my DIY Costumer friends.
If I were to make pattern kits for costume pieces would there be any interest in such a thing? The patterns are broken down in a way where no sculpting needs to be done it is simply following the directions and gluing "the blue dot to the blue dot" or whatever. They would contain all the pattern pieces and a step by step photo/video guide to construction. This patterning method was used to create the Lucario arm/leg I posted and would be done of other popular characters including foam body shapes, fabric pieces, armor pieces, basically anything that can be fabricated cheaply with no special equipment. Let me know!

I think it would be worthwhile. Since you can make heads for $55, you probably have a pretty well established pattern and process that is not too difficult. For a straightforward body shape some sewing experience can make the bosysuit pretty easy, but making a head, and as someone above stated, feet is difficult as it is usually having to make it up from scratch and spotty internet info, which can make a disappointing and frustrating project. And for specialty characters for someone to be able to follow a pattern and actually make a reasonable costume of the character, or parts of a character, without having to be a costume sculptor would be geat I think
