Does embroidery over fur feel intimidating instead of cuddly?
Have your previous projects turned into a hairy mess?
In this mini book I cover some of the steps that I use when embroidering or sewing over fur. This book focuses on Shannon “Luxe Rose Cuddle” style fabric, which is probably more complicated than regular fur. All the techniques are compatible with short furs like rabbit fur or other luxe cuddles.

Every sewing machine, and embroidery machine, is different. Learning how to care for it is a must, and establishing a cleaning routine will keep it living longer and yield better results!
This little book covers the tools you’ll need and the steps you’ll take. Some notes on when to oil, and when to get it serviced. Use this to get started!

That’s right! I’ve been reworking some art and layouts (new logo too!) And I want to spruce this place up.
I’ve wanted to for a while, it’s something that’s been on the backburner while I deal with actual orders, new content for Ko-Fi etc, but honestly I’m thinking more about it now that the whole Twitter thing has been happening. Twitter was the one account out of all the different social media platforms where growth felt natural and kept coming. It petered out a little in the summer when my grandmother passed and I took a hiatus and stopped posting. Everything ground to a halt and I’ve only just started getting back to where I was, only for it all to implode.
I’m still there and still using the platform for as long as it is usable, but those aims of getting this place looking better have slid up the list in terms of priority.
This dude is finally done! What a beast! My favourite parts are how GOOD the metallic silver looks against the black of his eyes, and the fact he can stand on his own without tipping either back onto his tail or forwards.
He does have a pellet pouch in his tum, and a soft plastic support in each leg so that they don’t sink underneath him. A lot of his scales are also re-enforced with interfacing. He has so many LAYERS- if you followed his progress posts you’ll know he’s basically a blank dinosaur shape, with his head, jaw, scales and armor all built on top in layers until he was done!
The commissioner asked for faux fur on his beard and neck, and I had a leftover fat quarter of a sparkly fur that was perfect! Unfortunately I’m all out now, and I have NO idea where to get more, but I would probably use fax rabbit fur in future for the shorter length, and add some sparkle myself!
Tyrantrum is my favourite Pokémon, and both times I made him he took MONTHS, so….. I was thinking it’d be my dream once I’ve moved house to make one for myself, but he’d probably take another three years oops! I was so happy to see him in New Pokémon Snap in his regular red form but honestly his blue form is way cooler to me!
