Premium Tutorial: Patterning Pillow Inserts for Fursuit Bodies

This is a process I utilize in all of my padded costumes. This is a useful technique to try if you are creating a costume for yourself since you can accomplish this padding style solo, without needing a body double. This is a targeted tutorial, all about making and patterning pillow inserts for fursuit bodies! So this tutorial assumes you already have a bodysuit made, or are adding new pillows to an existing costume.

This includes a detailed 13-page tutorial with step-by-step instructions. Tutorial text is written in English. Included is letter-sized (8.5x11 inch) formatted PDF.

If you need help or additional reading this paid tutorial is a natural continuation of this (free) guide. Which is not required at all to benefit from the content of the premium guide: https://pupdates.matrices.net/post/126927632301/fursuit-body-padding-tutorial
