I’ve been looking all over this city for some damn wholesale suede. It’s impossible to find; all that seems to be available is suede that has already been made into a product I don’t want to spend extra for. Why does shopping for raw goods have to be so damn hard Halifax??!! —Crafty Shaft

Go online! I refuse to shop locally…the selection here SUCKS!
There’s a place in burnside that sells bulk leather and suede… The Tandy Leather Factory

best advice here bub, get your own cow, do it in, then you can have all the suede you want, plus a ton of meat, that you probly won’t eat, because you is a vegan, or some other shit.
I’ll take the meat 🙂 I loves me a HUGE juicy bloody steak!!
mmmmmmmm steak.
dibs on a striploin chop.
didn’t there used to be a fabricville in mumford? did they close?
Isn’t suede an animal’s skin ?
So your expoiting animals & carrying on like the fur industry !
good for you, any chance you know how to work with seal pelts ?! ~8)
yeah, and why don’t they make chinchilla couches?
that would be awesome… like laying on a hundred soft, dead chinchillas….
mmmmm without the smell that is.
Chinchillas don’t stink, and they’re also hypo-allergenic.
I think it may be difficult to get bulk suede because nobody wears those suede tassel jackets anymore.
Fever, if you had a hundred DEAD chinchillas in your living room to lay on, eventually they would stink. I like that they’re hypo-allergenic though… I could get on board with that.
and let’s not forget bunny fur, oh man i love my gloves in winter. nice and soft, and warm to boot. but there are those that hate to see an animal killed for any reason. i would like to see all these people on an ice floe, nothing to eat,rxcep some kind of meat, bet no bitching then.
The fabric availability in HRM SUCKS. I’ve been looking for fabric to make a skirt I have a pattern for and all I can find is curtain fabric and ugly as shit polyester.
The selection has certainly gone down hill, however it doesn’t seem to stop me from dropping a lot of cash on fabric every time I go into a fabricville. I have more than I need, but always want new stuff.
I’m hoping they have some new stock in for the summer — I’d love to get some nice prints in fabrics that are suitable for clothing (skirts and dresses, particularly) rather than quilting and making curtains!
