I just finished sewing up my first L/S Yote and then realized,I DIDNT SEW UP THE VENT ! Does anyone have any ideas for this one? I feel so embarrassed on this one. Any IDEAS?

since yotes carry thier tail down it will be covered.
also, you can still sew it, just invert it, take a screwdriver and enter through the vent, and make a round hole, not to big, squirt some latex caulk in the vent in the hole and around it, now sew it shut, and using a small dowle or other object, just not something , with a sharp end on it. Now push it down into the hole you had made, make sure you made it deep enough and not to large. As you push it down, it will draw the opening closed, you might need to go to a small dowle now, when it is all the way in as far as you want it to be, use the caulk to help put the detail back into it.
I am sure that will work, I thought I might drill a little hole in the form and clay and tuck the vent like you would a tear duct,I'll have to see what looks better ,even thogh it will be covered I still want it to be professional looking. Thanks Again John.
Draw the cinch tight and use a cutout like suggested above. Gives it the correct pucker factor just like the sphincter would.
