How to Make a Clay Mockup for Sewing Patterns

Ever heard of people making miniature versions of things and then scaling them up full size? Here's a tutorial for that! You can use this technique for more than just fursuit items : stuffed animals, props, etc! I never saw anyone fully explaining the mini mockup process, so hopefully this explains it well!
It's still gonna be a bit of time before the teeth+tongue video is done, since I'm filming the teeth of several different fursuit heads, so I have to reach the teeth stage of all of them before I can upload the tut XD
-------
Materials
-modeling clay (polymer clay, air dry clay, or even epoxy clay)
-aluminum foil (to fill the inside so you use less clay, which is more expensive than foil)
-markers
-blade / scissors
-masking tape or duct tape
-a scanner
-either a large computer screen or a printer
-optional: pasta/clay roller

This is an excellent explanation! Very helpful, thank you! I've tried my hand and failed a few times at making feetpaws, and this method looks much easier than what I was doing! I also happen to have a tv for a monitor, and I never thought to use it for things like fursuit head patterning! Very clever idea, I will definitely have to try it out!

@freckledcatcreations 4 года назад

You're very welcome! Yeah I used to trace Lilo and Stitch aliens off the computer screen as a kid, and it made me think.... I can make that method useful as an adult... haha!

@InoCosplayOfficial 2 года назад

When you resize the pattern for tracing, as long as you don't have a touch screen, you can just zoom in, alot

@InoCosplayOfficial 2 года назад

But then you have to trace in sections

@kitsyuun 4 года назад

I have a question! When making your fursuit and furring it, what if the fursuit is a little lopsided, and doesn’t match both sides by accident? If you’re making two of every pattern from taping, how do you be sure both sides will be equal?

@freckledcatcreations 4 года назад

Hey!! So basically, if your head base is pretty symmetrical then only taping half should work, but if you're worried about that, then you'll have to tape the whole thing. As well as... if the design isn't symmetrical, you'll have to tape the whole thing too. As for flipping the patterns to get the other side, I don't see how it could get much messed up, if you trace it right. Just make sure to copy over any of the connector lines onto the back side, etc!

Hey!! I was wondering if this method can also be done with miniature foam mockups? I don’t have clay on me but I do have some scrap foam that I can carve up and make little models and do all this with, so I was wondering if It would have the same effect as if I used clay. Thanks!

@cookie_creations2162 4 года назад

So do you trace the pattern onto foam and glue that together?

@freckledcatcreations 4 года назад

I actually just cut it from fur and make this all with stuffing inside, no foam! But if you wanted to do a foam shell you could. Though because of the thickness of the foam, the foot will turn out larger than the pattern, so you will still need to tape over the outside of the foam to get the fur pattern. I made this mockup to AVOID taping up a full carved foam foot, so I wouldn't do this ! but you can if you want. people make feet differently.

@TtvLunaticSuits 4 года назад

Can you do a mock up for a head base?

@freckledcatcreations 4 года назад

Maybe, if I ever get a commission that requires it! I'll put it on the list. I assume you'd want to use the head pattern to make it out of eva foam?

Do you have a reason for baking the clay? I've done this method with just plasticine, and it worked just fine.

@freckledcatcreations 3 года назад

i have to bake this clay because it's oven bake clay! if i dont, it stays mooshy and i wouldnt want the base shape to warp while im taping it. using plasticine is fine, but that's not what i used here.

@beau4612 4 года назад

Heya! I'm a big fan of your work! But, _this may be a stupid question, if so I apologise_ , what do you use to fill the foot after you've sewn the pieces together?

@freckledcatcreations 4 года назад

TYso much!! and It's not a stupid question! For these, I fill them with stuffing/polyfill. Since it's made from a pattern, there's no need to use upholstery foam to sculpt the toes, so everything's fluff inside. I'm actually going to eventually film a tutorial on how to take these mockup patterns to make a foot, though it might be a few months before I make another feetpaw!

@beau4612 4 года назад

@@freckledcatcreations Thanks, that helps a lot. Would this also work for fursuit heads? If not, would there be any other way to use this technique for a head? I'm not too good with foam, but I have had practice with clay. I know I could make my own mould, but currently the materials needed are difficult to get.

@freckledcatcreations 4 года назад

@@beau4612 so sorry, youtube never told me you replied back. you can certainly use this for a head base too! making the head out of upholstery foam probably isnt gonna be too sturdy, but you should use the eva foam method like Mugiwara has shown on her channel - it just takes some cement glue and a heat gun to properly work tho, so youll have to spend a bit more on materials.

@Lawn..Clippings 4 года назад

Freckled Cat Creations mm. My best guess is take the mini tape pattern, place the pieces on separate pieces of paper, and eyeball scale it’s size by tracing around it 4-5 inches (maybe more depending on the project). I haven’t tried it though so I’ll have to see.
