Unfortunately--or fortunately however you want to take it--I went to local thrift store. Oh Oh someone cleaned out their sewing room. Found several pieces of new LQS fabric for $1 a yard; a 1 1/2 yd of the fleece with reflective coating in it for 75 cents; a couple of big bags of scraps for $6 each with scraps which are 12" cuts of fabric. Some fabrics I normally use and then styles to experiment with.
