Is fleece a good furring material?
14 years ago
I was just researching fabrics and such since I wanted to start constructing my own fursuit, but most of the furs I've seen are just too expensive for me. Plus Joann's is having a sale on Anti-Pill fleece, and I've heard that people have had good furring experience using fleece instead of faux fur or other materials. I'm just not sure though.
Shit I also need foam. Where can I buy it lol

joanns is expensive as hell for faux fur... well for everything actually. if i go into philadelphia i can get most fabrics for at least half as much as they charge

joanns fur is tottal shit. try gettin some from distinctive fabrics or syfabrics. the only place i could find foam is at joanns but also check if you have a hobby lobby around i think they may have foam. and fleece seems to be a pretty common. you are most welcome to ask me for any tips cuz im gonna be working with fleece on my next fursuit very shortly.
