My favorite 2nd hand finds-cotton curtains-lrg and full length dresses/skirts=yardage Also thinner store bought quilts are great for batting.My favorite finds are Futon covers. I got one for $10 its denim and I am re-upholstering a love seat with it(at least a savings of $212.) and I'll have left overs to make a few more grocery bags.And for my fellow cat lovers when cutting up old T-shirts(my fav window rags) use those sleeves make a cat toy - stuff fab. snippits and mix with catnip
