If you have a walmart or kmart near you, you can buy bedsheets from them for like 5$ for a twin topsheet, which is something close to two yards of fabric, and it's usually pretty good quality.

I love how when she started talking about all her fabrics, her eyes got all wide and she looked like a little girl on christmas.:)
I do the same thing:)

Spotlight and Textile traders for Australians is really good.

@Flor86ful sad.. don't you have a thriftshop near you. In my town they have a small one, but sometimes they have good clothes that you can use for projects of costumes. And in the town where my grandparents live there is also a thriftshop, a lote bigger so when I'm there I always stop by :P

There's a thrift store right down the street from me and I always buy there! They sell bags of fabric for less than $5:D

@PTuinman I live in Uruguay and the same seems to happen here...at least in my town. :(

Speaking of sheets - I like looking at the duvet covers. I ran across a duvet cover that someone had made out of King-sized sheets. They were real quality sheets and when I looked at them - they hadn't even been used! Apparently someone used brand new sheets to make a duvet cover and decided they didn't like it after all. I got two king-sized sheets (BRAND NEW) for the price of $2.40. I swear, if I won the lottery - I'd still haunt thrift stores, lol!

@3838bbla That is so awesome! I love finding a good estate sale!

don't forget the supply section of Etsy. There are often great deals there. I have decided that I will not become a quilter anytime soon so I am going to sell grab stacks of my quilting fabrics in a stash sale. I'm sure others are doing the same leading up to the holidays.

Using old jeans for fabric is something I've been doing for a bit. There cheap at the thrift store and friends always have a pair they no longer wear. I have made pillows out of them and I'm now cutting squares out to make a duvet cover. I also intend to make a newsboy hat from your pattern out of jeans and an old t-shirt for the lining.

@TdblGrr That's awesome! I've made a few denim hats and my mom made an awesome jean scrap quilt one time! I have several pairs right now that I'm trying to come up for a project with...and my friend is going to be giving me a few more pairs :)
