Good Ideas above !!
Me too! I also save cereal boxes; when they are empty, I cut them down and they are used in crafts and my new hobby making altered books. I save all my batting scrapes, use them in totes, purses, and potholders. Cheap thread I use for basting, save the good thread for permanent sewing. Love thrift stores, yard sales, etc. I keep a little Sew Bank I put a little savings into, this is for that rainy day or something I know I can't live without having thinking really hard on it.
