Body Pattern

Once the head was airbrushed I concentrated on cutting out the body. To begin I had to examine the measurements of the wolfkin I went to see, in addition to the measurements I had from books, and internet sources. Once I found a suitable size I had to ensure it would fit on the lenght of fabric I had generously been donated by National Fiber Technology. To make a pattern I found a large piece of paper and drew the measurements on in pencil, marking out the lenghts of the limbs and distances between them.

I then cut this pattern out. Once cut I had to sever the limbs to ensure it would fit on the fabric. Below is an image of the pattern laid out.



With the pattern laid out on the fabric I was able to carefully cut around it. I chose my cuts carefully to ensure I had a good length of fur spilling over the side of the wolf's back. I marked out each limb and ensured they were facing the correct direction.

Having all my pieces cut out I was then able to stitch the limbs to the body. I tried to make sure that the seams were covered by the flowing fur on the arms, legs and tail.

Below is an image of the body all sewn together.
