where can i buy clothing materials?
« on: April 25, 2011, 03:08:43 pm »
yeah- what the title says

such as specific cloth colors, buttons, Velcro etc

i am located near aloha- but i think i can go as far as downtown portland.

i either wanna make a kaito scarf and coat, or a nabi scarf (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NdVPTQkRaY for those who havent watched there she is yet, i STRONGLY recommend u watch- its a flash animation of 5 episodes made from korea but is one of the BEST if not THE best flash animations with story out there)

thanks so much~!

Google search for their main site and you should be able to find the nearest location to you from there.
There's also Fabric Depot.

They also have a selection at Wal-Mart.  I've never really gone through there to see how good of a selection they have (I'd imagine that it's not the widest), but you never know.  They might have what you need.

Really?  That's awesome!  Maybe I should look into that!  (I'd still need to find someone to commission, though).

Yup some times 50% tho the coupon wont work if the item or fabric is aleady on sale.  A single cut of fabric counts as an item , and you can also use michaels coupons but only on things that would be at both stores.  Like you could use it on beads, but not fabric as michaels dont have it.
 
Wash, pm me a picture some time of what you want.  I am doing a few since I have more free time but my machine has limitations, so I only commit to what I know I can do

Joann's has great coupons. Last month I had so many coupons from the ads they sent me that I bought like $100 worth of stuff for $50. They also had a crap ton of other sales going on. lol Sometimes you have to break up your purchases to make sure that the coupon you have goes on the most expensive item though.
Line up:
-Kageyama (Haikyuu)
-Cordelia (Fire Emblem Awakening)
-Marauder Ashe (League of Legends)
-??? Who knows what else. Probably a cosplay I can wear my glasses with.
