I'm not sure why Matrices.net is down right now, I'm looking into it though! If you still want to get to the tutorials, its a little less organized but you can still access them through https://pupdates.matrices.net/
Right now my shop with whiskers and physically-mailed items, https://matrices.bigcartel.com/, seems to be broken (not set up for payment?? i will figure it out). I am not sure how soon I can get it back up, but I am definitely still selling goodies and happy to mail them. Feel free to PM me orders here on Telegram or email sara@matrices.net in the mean time! I apologize for the inconvenience.

These are the designs that I've made to use in that game that I want to share to any who might be interested! I hope they enchance your island!

New premium tutorial!! How to make webbed fingers for fursuits! A cool advanced sewing technique to make webbed fingers for costume projects and fursuit parts. It can also be scaled up for fins, wings, or other features on a costume where a “web” or “membrane” of skin is needed to span from one side to another.

I am really proud to present a new tutorial!!
This tutorial explains how to make a simple pleated face mask with head straps. I geared this guide with folks who perhaps do not sew very much in mind. So I have filled the guide with as many step-by-step pictures as I could muster.
This is a free tutorial for everyone, and if you have any friends or family that need more step-by-step guidance, I encourage you to share this file with them or perhaps print it out for them.
Not only do I show how to make the design, but there is a printable pattern and I describe how to make a nifty mask washing bag too!

I wrote up an article on the topic of building a small crafting business further, and included it over on my Patreon. It features a collection of tips which may hopefully help for anyone who may be looking for a direction to improve their online presence and help a small creator know what may help to better get a small crafting business off the ground.
