It's generally pretty easy to find fabric, as well as hot glue, velcro, and stuffing. Soldering equipment can be obtained at Radio Shack in extreme cases. Here are some online places to get the rest.

Conductive fabric LessEMF - suppliers to the tin-foil-hat crowd! Turns out that EMF-blocking fabric does so by some kind of embedded metallic process. I use Zelt, which from my tests conducted best for the lowest price. Conductive fabric is expensive; but you usually need very little of it for any project. http://www.lessemf.com/fabric.html

Conductive thread LessEMF also sells this in very large spools, but you get about 3000 yards and it costs $60. More expensive per yard but in much smaller batches is the 200 yard spool at $15 from Lame Lifesaver - this is geared towards fencing outfits so there's not much else there that's useful if you aren't a fencer. http://members.shaw.ca/ubik/thread/thread.html

Pager motor Lots of places to get these; most of these places also sell battery holders (search for pager motor or vibrator motor):

You can, of course, always cannibalize a dead pager or cell phone!
