Hey everyone~
As you can see in my submissions, I am holding a giveaway/raffle on my Twitter page! This is for the third head I ever made and the person I made them for never connected to the character, thus it is never worn and I wanted to clear out things I made in the past before starting selling.
*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧
The mask can fit 21-24 size circumference heads.
Kemono Dome eyes with 'sunglasses-like' vision.
Built on a foam cast and the face is lined for comfort, with elastic bands to hold it in place.
*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧
I wish you all the best of luck with the raffle! It ends on March 31st!~Shiny Stitches FAQ~

Shiny Stitches is a beginner fursuit creator and business. They have one partial and five heads under their belt. They also have tabled at ACE that included stock such as tails, plushies and paws.
Customers have thus far been happy with their product and Shiny Stitches encourages reviews that may point out any areas they may improve upon as a Fursuit Maker. Their price point will remain at the industry low standard until more experience, quality improvement, and demand/supply will raise the value in the future.
This will be updated as needed.

Common Challenges
*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧
~There are some challenges when creating someone’s fursona/character that not many know or consider. Some of these include:
~Matching fur color - Sometimes a certain shade is simply not available and the next best match will be chosen and sent as a swatch for the customer’s approval.
~Complex/Tiny Markings - Sewing a lot of stripes or spots is a tedious task, so Shiny Stitches will work with the customer to simplify the design to something that can be transferable from design to suit. Markings smaller than a US Quarter cannot be sewn in.
~Gradients - As of this writing, no known method has been tried and tested to achieve a smooth transition between shades of furs.

Suit Features
*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧
The Head
Every head is 3D printed on light PLA that's durability goes through a 'bounce test'. It is secured to your head via elastic straps.
Seams are all stitched and the fur glued down. The inside of the head will be lined and raw edges finished with soft minky.
Shiny Stitches creates fursuits in the kemono and chibi styles. Please note that requested Kemono Suits include the plastic covered eyes, where 'Chibi Suits' have the large eyes but no plastic domes.
Please consider breathability in-suit. The Head will have vents in the 3D head base, out the mouth and have vents under the eyes. Kemono is an awesome style but if you have concerns about breathing in-suit under strain, a Chibi suit may be a better fit for you.
Kemono eyes have better vision but the Chibi eyes are just as large and allow more air.
Most features will be made from minky fabric or 3D printed (tongue, nose, teeth ex.). But resin and silicone features may be requested at an increased price.
The Handpaws
Shiny Stitches uses Kloofsuits puffy paw pattern. They are four-fingered and the pads/beans made of stuffed minky.
If you want no stuffing, please let us know.
An altered pattern may be requested for five fingered paws but will cost more.
All Handpaws are lined and finished with minky fabric.
The Footpaws
Shiny Stitches will need your size in US measurements so brand new shoes can be purchased for your feet paws.
If you prefer, you can ship your own pair of shoes that you bought or your own (please wash them before mailing if a well-loved pair you own). The customer covers shipping and the feet paws will likely be finished last due to mailing times.
Each shoe will have large toony toes cast in soft foam for comfort on the shoe base. The opening will be slip-on and finished, marked with 'R' and 'L' respectively.
The Tail
Each tail will be made on a flat minky base with elastic belt loops. Stuffed with polyfil and made to specification, Shiny Stitches hopes your partial/mini partial meets all of your expectations.

Should it fall apart during the construction process as a result of poor duct tape dummy construction, it is the commissioner’s responsibility to redo it.
*The DTD is REQUIRED to go down over your heels at the least. The entire foot is preferred.
*When you make your DTD, keep your arms at as straight as possible out in a T pose.
*Tape as close to your arm pit as possible. Not doing so will result in lower mobility of your arms. We WILL NOT be responsible for ill fitting suits due to poor DTD construction.

Liability Notice
*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧
Fursuiting is a risky activity, often requiring close monitoring of body temperature to avoid heat stroke and exhaustion. Furthermore, if your suit includes kemono eyes with plastic domes, breathability is an increased issue.
By commissioning Shiny-Stitches, you release us of liability if health emergencies occur whilst wearing our work.
Please educate yourself of the risks involved to stay safe.
Additional information:
*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧
It is the responsibility of the commissioner to pay close attention to progress shots to ensure you get what you want. If you need something changed, it is required that you mention such. If it could have been changed at an earlier stage shown in the progress pictures sent to you and you did not mention your disliking of any aspect and voice it later when the head is further along and harder to fix, this will take more time and labor. This will result in additional fees.
Shiny-Stitches refuses to make copyrighted characters as it is illegal.
Contract:
*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧
Anything agreed upon by both parties in writing, including email, is a binding contract. By submitting a commission form, you agree to all of the terms of service.
