Does anyone know where I can buy gore-tex or eVent fabric? I can't seem to find anything online. Also, does anyone know if I need industrial strength sewing machines to work with these materials? I just want to make some waterproof and breathable pants the way I like them.

cheers

You can get gore-tex from http://www.owfinc.com. I don't think you can buy eVent anywhere (??).

Seattle Fabrics and Rockywoods.com also sell various types of Goretex and other Wp-B's. I don't think eVent is sold by the yard anywhere – I'd love to be proven wrong though! Any decent sewing machine should do just fine w/ these fabrics.

I have 3 yards of event, but its heavy. Not something you would want to make a jacket with unless your looking to make a bomber mountaineering one with a liner.

I bought an eVent jacket a couple years back, it doesn't seem that heavy. Are there different types of eVent materials?

Yes eVent can be made in two or three layers from about 2oz to over 4 per sq yard.
