What Could Shannon Be Thinking About Making Now?

Seattle Fabrics, for all your all-weather fabric needs. Not to mention webbing, buckles, cord, toggles, you name it. (It’s where I bought the seat belt webbing and slide hardware for the Bonsai and Replacement messenger bags.) Check out the annotated version of the photo on Flickr for more details.
I’ll give you a hint: these ones aren’t for me. Well, their intended project is not for me. The giant pile o’ samples is giving me ideas though.
Woo, Seattle Fabrics. 🙂 I’ve been there…! It’s somehow harder to find certain things from the website in person and vice versa.
I haven’t been to the physical store, but I have a feeling I’d come out with a lot less money than I went in with! So many times I’m looking at something on the web site (like cord locks) and trying to gauge whether it’s the right size for what I want. This is the first time I’ve ordered sample swatches for fabric first ($40 worth of samples!), but we’re looking at an implementation so specific that it seemed like the smart way to go. (I’m sure I’ll order three different fabrics anyway in various iterations. This is going to be a very interesting project.)
