For mine, I just went to the local carpet store and looked through the offcuts that would match, and then they cut it to size for me.

It was pretty cheap too!

If you are after enough to do the complete inside and outside of your drawers, try some of the auction houses. Lots of commercial properties have their carpet replaced with a change of tennants. Cheap as shit too.

Try the dandy market - theres quite a few material and carpet stalls there, at one stage they had all the marine spec carpet, dont know at what price, but drop in

cool fellas :D
will check out bunnings and a few markets
also the industrial carpet mobs
im thinking of using some laminex on the bottom of the drawers and bases(made from chipboard - no rollers)
this should make it roll easyer and it wont drag on the bottom of the drawer
thought id share that tip lol
thanks again

Spend the extra and use GOOD quality Plywood.. worth the extra. chipboard is shit specially if it gets wet.
