I purchased Cassie (with a possible name change coming) awhile back with the purpose of practicing refurbishing (and just making pieces in general). I haven't had much of a chance to work on it yet, but I am slowly trying to make some changes. I'll post some progress pictures when there actually are some, but that still won't be for awhile.

What I've done so far:

The handpaws were in good shape (and I'm not looking to do a lot of changes to this suit). So all I did for this was cut out the extra fur from the inside, and stitched over the old stitching with a thicker thread. With the extra stitching, these should last quite a long time =)

I love making feet paws, so I'm making a new set of those. They are foam over crocs right now. Still looking for white fur so I can fur them up. I've never used crocs before (I hate crocs >.>) but they were cheap, have holes which will help with ventilation, and are extremely light weight. Will have to see how they fair with fur on them.

The tail is perfect so there will be no changes there.

I was initially going to keep the face pretty well the same with some minor changes, but I'm also considering trying to do some foam work and give her a completely different expression. Not sure yet.. we'll see as time goes on =D
