I've been searching for this fabric forever! Here's the old discussion about my futile search: Discussion

This is what I want to make.



and here's the fabric:

Prelude Collection, Sharpei 729 or 730, page 2

I've emailed Leena at Prefurs again, and am crossing my fingers she can get it.

edited to correct link. and grammar.

That does look like the exact fabric! You are going to have an uber-fab jacket!

Here's what I go from Leena:

Hi Heather,

Back in May 2008 we had the chance to import a couple of yards from a retailer in Canada but that avenue is now gone. If we had more demand for the Prelude Sharpei we would love to import 33 yards from France with our next stocking order. In the meantime we will see if we can order a sampling order of 2 meters.

Regards
Leena of Prefurs


I kind of doubt we've got 15 people here willing to purchase 2 yards...but who knows? If anyone else is interested, email Leena. I'm just crossing my fingers for the sample. 2 yards would be enough.

I don't usually have quite as much difficulty navigating an internet site, but I can't find the fur yardage on her site, so I have questions:
How wide is it?
How much is it?

Thanks, Marji

I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing 55" b/c that's how the BWOF fabric yardage is listed for that particular pattern, and they used this exact fur. I don't know what the price for that fur will be....but I'm sure it's at least $150/yd (, I know, I know...I'm not even gonna **try** to justify it to anyone but me).
