Thread: Fabric Tail Appreciation Thread

  1. #61
    My fabric tail came in the mail today! I can't wait to go swimming in it.

    I'm currently working on mine. I'm getting really excited for it. Hey, any tips on how to add little hip fins into the fabric?
    All that glitters is not gold,
    Not all who wander are lost.
    The old that is strong does not whither,
    Deep roots are not touched by the frost.

    From the ashes a fire shall be broken,
    A light from the shadows shall spring.
    Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
    The crownless again shall be king.

    The tail I ordered had them just sighed right on top. When I make my own, I plan on cutting a line into the tail where I want the fin, then inserting it in a bit so I can sew it on the inside. Does that make sense?

    I got some pics with my tablet but things keeping screwing up when I go to post them on here. I'll figure something out though lol.

    Yeah, that was what I was thinking before. But if I do that, would it not make a ruffle/bulge on the end of the cut?

    It might, I haven't tried it yet so I don't know how to have it lay flat.

    Yeah. I'm sure as long as you keep the stitch close enough to the edge, it would look alright. I'm just scared I'll sew to far away and it'll look weird! Be careful though, depending on what fabric you use, it might start to fray if you sew it too close.

    Thats basically what I did. I pulled the seam where the fin went and sewed it back, and it worked just fine! If you mean for pectoral fins and such, just sew about a 1/4" bigger on both sides parallel to the fins to account for the new seam
