Hello, everyone! I'm going to start working on a digitigrade fursuit soon, but since this is the first fullsuit I'll be making, I have a couple of (hopefully) quick questions.
1. Most digitigrade padding I've seen has been handmade pillows. Which pillow-padding method is better: Sewing pillow shapes out of fabric and stuffing them, or carving shapes out of foam and sewing pillowcases over them?
2. Since it doesn't look to be immensely difficult, I'm leaning towards the "pants" method (Komickrazi's tutorial), but... Would it be possible to wash them? They seem like they'd be difficult to turn inside-out. :c Also, could I sew the pants on to an upper body to make a fullsuit, or should I just look for a different method?
Thanks in advance!
