I do the same thing. Today, every penny counts. I have a tip for those who have the thinner (cheaper) fabric but don't know what to do with it. Don't throw it out! I use thinner fabric for lining in other projects, such as pin cushions, hand warmers, etc. The "nice" fabric is too thick to serve as lining making the project feel stiff, but the thin fabric works absolutely great!
