Chicken Noodle

This tip was shared by fellow maker Syber, using iron on interfacing to seal markings and protect them. Ironing the backing of the fur does not melt the fur fibre on the other side, but it’s important to test your iron settings.
We also tried a new layering effect on the mane to give it more volume. We first created the mane as a regular stripe down the back and tail, but then added three flaps in certain places. one fin shaped piece in the middle of the back seam, with two flaps on either side that are sewn on top of the stripe of fur. They are single layer with the backing of the fur brushed out to create double sided fur.
Soupy also requested zip on feet, which we haven’t done for about four years now. If the process is successful, we will share the details here. zipper feet are not something we normally offer right now!
