Yes, only truly insane people like Tobe of Red99 raised tailoring pre-Velious using Fleeting Quivers, farming lions in North Karana for months. The clear practical approach is to get it to 115 and then chill until Velious.
Don't count out Holgresh fur as a means of skilling up, too - I'm sure a lot of it is being exported from the Holgresh Elder Beads camp. Some of it is probably rotting. I used Holgresh fur, Wyvern skins, panther skins, tiger skins, and probably other stuff on TAKP.
You might have to put the word out among your friends or guild to crowdsource more materials, in addition to farming your own, of course. It is truly an epic journey and not something you just buy your way up like some WoW easymode crap.
Lastly, if you're just doing it for the Shawl, it's probably better to get to 170ish or whatever and just attempt Shawl combines repeatedly. You only need to get moderately lucky...once.
