Question about Suede and Canvas!

[Outdoorlifeofbrian]

Hey Guys!

For a while now I've been wanting to create things out of Canvas and Suede e.g a tool roll and a axe bag. Similar to the ones found on Ray Mear's site.

Problem is I cannot find for the life of me where I can buy these materials off the roll or by the square meter.

Can anyone help me please?

Thanks for your time

Brian.

Hi, Brian

I don't know where to get suede from, but the cheapest place I've found for canvas (cotton duck) is www.russelandchapple.co.uk.

Hope this helps

Alan

Thanks guys that's great now just for the suede. Also do you know how I would go about dying the canvas? as I'd like it to be green or brown.

Thanks guys

Brian.
