Please please please help me! I am planning to make a fursuit of Aislinn fav.me/d73hmwm
My fursona, but I really need advice. 


Eventually, what I want to have is a digitigrade fullsuit with moving jaw head and follow-me eyes. 
I have never made a fursuit before >.< 

I have a few specific questions,   But any advice,  tutorials, etc would be much apreciatied. Seriously. 

Questions: 

1) would this fur m.ebay.co.uk/itm/141160755250?… be okay to use?

2) how do I make a two-coloured suit, or rather, have hair along the back like Aislinn's? What do I make hair with?

3) her hair is a really awkward colour, how do i find blue-black hair material?

4) what size foam sheet/s do I need? 

4) how hard is it to make moving jaws, following eyes, and digitigrade padding? How do i do this? 

5) how much fur do I need for her tail? (She has a long one) and can I make the tail moveable by adding wire? 

6) what is the best material for pawpads? 

Ok, i think thats all for now. Please pass this on to any furry/fursuiting/crafting communities and groups. 
Also, keep in mind I live in the UK, so will probably not order anything from US stores or suppliers. 
Please help me, I'm freaking out :(

Incredibly helpful tutorials: matrices.net/fursuiting.asp
Rules of thumb - your first ever project needs to be simple. Don't give yourself a deadline. Give yourself lots of room to make tons of mistakes (you will learn from all of them). Take an intro to sewing class if you've never sewn before. Prepare to start over a lot and spend a lot of money on materials, and don't get discouraged. And most importantly, Google EVERYTHING.
