I live on a fixed income, also, so I look for fabric on sale and Hobby Lobby frequently puts 40% coupons on full price items. This is when I usually buy batting. And I save every scrap of batting. It can be sewn together and put into a baby quilt or a small throw. I don't throw anything out. I haven't cut up any clothes yet, my stash is still fairly large from a Hancock's going out of busines sale.
