anyone know of any good places?
I usually go to Dressew, they have a huge selection of faux fur. :3

Vancouver, BC V6B 1H6
There's also a website you can go to: Mendels
They have both long and short faux fur in two seperate sections
As well as, you can order 5 free swatches of any type of fur you want to look at.

yeah, i've been to dressew, but they don't have the colours i'm looking for, or the right fabric. I found it online; minky. lol I'll have to check fabric land i think. Its soooo soooooft. <3
Something like this (http://"http://www.fabric.com/apparel-fashion-fabric-minky-fabric-minky-solid-fabric-minky-cuddle-double-sided-black.aspx")
You can give fabricland a try...that's where I got the
fur for the suit that I made for myself.
But then again, some stores may have better stuff
...just a suggestion
Are you looking for online stores or Local stores? o:

local preferably. I'm sure I can find it online easy enough, but I dont have a credit card, and I hate using paypal to pay for things. it's so.. inconvenient.

You mean, something like this?

why do all the links keep doing that? I don't even use the bbc code shortcuts, because I'm a nerd and have them all memorized. wtf.
buut yes
What I did for short faux fur was go to Zellers and pick up a blanket. They have really soft double-sided microfibre blankets, but the pile is SUPER short.
Dressew does have minky, but only a few flavours to choose from, same with Fabric Land. Have you tried Fabricana?
Fabricana i have not tried yet. and the minky blankets are too expensive to just cut up. All my sewing projects are on hold indefinitely anyway, D:

ever used a prepaid creditcard? you put money on it till it runs out, similar to a giftcard. I do it all the time very helpful with online transactions plus noway to trace who you are.
Yeah. I figure I'll just get a secured credit card. Same kind of idea, but it'll help me build some credit too. Which'll be good for me.
Fabric land in Victoria
sidenote; dont get funfur, the stuff is crap
