Always keep a piece of pigtail cloth and spider silk (both kinds) sitting around for moods.  Dwarves can be picky sometimes.

Edit: If you need plant fiber cloth in a hurry, you can try to gather plants along the edge of a river, stream, or murky pool.  Rope weed can be gathered from the edges.  Away from the edges won't have them.

You need to make said elf leather into the most amazing work of art.  Embed it with every kind of gem you have, stud it with metals, and sew images into it.  Erect a shrine outside your fort with that in the center.  Let the elves know that you view their very skin as naught more but a medium for your dwarves to work on.

This is why I suggested gathering pig tails from the caverns. Maybe not as safe, but they're everywhere.

elven caravans often come with several barrels of cloth. This is usually my main source for cloth, but silk is harder to come by.  I usually just hoard it and only use cloth.

Well if you aren't above a little modding, add the DRY tag to rope weed.  Then you can gather it anywhere, not just from the water's edge.

Sometimes dwarves won't use just any stone or metal bar, but will need stone/metal that they like. Check their preferences, that might help.

Dwarves aren't generally known to be picky with what kind of stone they use, at least in 40D, haven't really played DF lately because I'm waiting for a bunch of bugfixes.
