Description
Here's a fullbody so you can see the legs - I am really proud of those because I never thought I could do that by myself - but guess what?Sewing machines are not that scary after all once you know where the thread needs to go! For a first project it was a rather ambitious choice and there were many frustrating moments.
And I love the tail!
I need to trim the fur a bit so you can actually see the hooves I did for this!

I really love these! Since I'm thinking of making a pair for myself, how much fur fabric did you use to make these? Thank you!

I'm not sure to be honest since it was ages ago, but I used two different furs, the brown&white on and a pure white on the lower legs.

Ok thank you! Do you remember where you got the fur?

The brown/white one from ebay, don't remember the shop, the other one was from etsy, don't remember the seller either I'm afraid.

I love how thin the legs are! I want to do a sheep satyr for Halloween this year and possibly for a convention next year but all the tutorials I find create these huge bulky legs that don't fit with the upper body of the individual wearing them. Yours are definitely more feminine legs which is what I was looking for. I also love the fur colorings. Just beautiful!

Thanks! I had the same reaction when I saw a lot of the bulky legs - but I didn't want to go the pony-boots / heeless route since I was sure I wouldn't be able to walk in my costume then.
So I am glad my compromise works - even though it still feels bulky wearing it.
Magpieb=nes did a nice illustration to show how to do minimal padding to keep these kind of legs as slender as possible:
Just remember that there will be fur on top and the longer that is the more bulk it adds.

As a beginner, how hard did you find this project, on a scale of 1-10?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Honestly - I think I did take on a bit much myself back there since I was more or less a beginner as well - luckily all that fur hides seams that aren't as straight as they should be.
But creating the pattern was really tough since I had no experience with that at all and took several tries to get it right.
Either you are willing to keep going even if the first tries fails - or have someone who can help.
I know it's not really logical to suggest not to try it as a beginner since that's exactly what I did...
but yeah...
it can mean wasting a lot of time & materials (=money) on tries that don't work out in the end.
I had to build 2 pairs of boots until they finally worked and I was able to walk in them...

Thank you. I REALLY appreciate your honesty!
Your legs turned out fabulous btw <3
Do ypu take commissions for them?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sorry, I don't do commissins. I have a job so the free time I get I prefer to spebnd working on my own projects.
Besides I was more or less figuering thisout by trial and error, more or less by pinning it to myself while wearing the padding - I am certainly not fit to do commissions on this.

Beautiful legs!
Btw your first link seems to have become malicious. Or a pop up linked to it has. Just thought you would like to know!

Thanks for letting me know - I'll remove it.

Thanks for asking but no. I only did them myself because I couldn't find anyone to commission them from for my budget and I hate sewing, it was a fight all the way.

To bad. These are the best ive seen ever.

Thanks, glad you like them. The blood sweat and tears paid off, but not an experience I care toi repeat.
Maybe you can do something like it yourself, I started by going through a lot of tutorial here & on youtube, compared different methods to do digigrade legs and combined the elements I liked best.

beautiful!!
I made a pair by myself too, but they're certainly not as great as yours!

Did you have a pattern to go of of? Because these are the best faun legs and hooves I've seen around! I love that shoe/hoof idea too!

I tried to find one but couldn't, and since I couldn't afford the commission prices I had to do it myself.
So i looked around and a few people who did them explained the process and made tutorials. For example www.komickrazi.com/costumes/tu… .
Based on that I did my own pattern with the kind of padding I liked.
Do the padding first, and remember the fur will add more volume, the you can create a pattern

Thank you very much! I have to admit I love autumn color and I thought it would work well for a creature of the forest. (Now all I'd need i a spring, summer and winter faun to complete the set

It is - you can even add a vest if it's really cold - but it's not a good idea to wear it when it rains. if those pants get soaked with water they are heavy and cold
