Experimental chenille fabric from layers of old t-shirts. Thinking of making a “bath mat” to stand on for outdoor swim changing.

Anyone know a reliable place to get cheap fake fluffy fur fabrics to use on a cat tree?
A new tree is so expensive and it’s only warn out fabric.

I’m thinking can easily tack on new stuff

Nope
Derby market used to have fabric stalls when I was teaching but I don’t think the market even exists now

Will see if I can get there … the website only shows something at £16 per m which seems expensive

Pound fabrics, who are very reliable, sell dead stock and have quite a few at the moment. I may get some of the giraffe print one for a bag
