Looking for outerwear sewing kits
Murray Cameron
Hi,
I'm new to the internet (my husband finally talked me into checking out the
sewing newsgroups ....). There used to be a company in Brockville (Canada)
which sold outerwear sewing kits - these were excellent quality kits that have
really withstood wear by my two boys and husband (down vests, fleece sweaters
and rain jackets). Unfortunately the company (Naturebound) went out of business
a couple years back.
I did do a search of the WWW and I found Frostline Kits and Textile Outfitters,
unfortunately BOTH of their URL's weren't located by my browser ......
Does anyone know of any other companies that produce outerwear sewing kits? I'd
really appreciate hearing from you.

Textile Outfitters (Calgary) will also put together outerwear kits to your
specification. http://www.enviro.net/textile. As Cindy says, MacPhee
also, they also have retail stores in Frankford (613-398-8462) and
Mississauga (905-712-4254).

MacPhee Workshop is a source for outerwear, although I don't believe they
have kits. It sounds like you are from Canada, and they are a Canadian
company and their fabrics are for the Canadian climate. They have good
quality fabric, and original patterns along with all the notions
necessary. It's worth a look at their web page.

Try this one:

Number to order (and maybe for info?) 1-800-443-8714
This is old, but should still be good.

You are talking about Nature Bound. They were originally in Etobicoke, ON and then moved to Brockville. I do not know what happened to them but would love to find a company similar as I still have some of the product that I made ove 25 years ago. Bea
