steppenwolfstaffords Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Hi, was wondering where people who make thier own cool coats get their material? finding it hard to find bits that are big enough so i dont have to sew two peices together.....can it be bought off a roll and in colours? Also wondering what types of material people use? seen allot have mentioned synthetic chamois? Thanks in advance :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff'n'Mutt Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 If it's microchamios you can buy it be the meter and it comes in a range of colours and occasionally you can find it in patterns. It is not waterproof but you can make it water resistant by washing it with a healthy dose of fabric softener. Ditto that to microfleece. Minky is also used but it has a longer nap. I sew nappies as a business so have quite a bit of this stuff laying around, if you need any links for suppliers let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
