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?

Deep roots are not touched by the frost.

A light from the shadows shall spring.
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,

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.

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.

Here's my collection of all my fabric tails all made by me apart from two tail revamps. GO THE FABRIC!!!
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
