I read all the time where sewists get used clothing/sheets and make use of it for their projects. Even using used mattress covers for the batting. If that helps.

And you can purchase twin flat sheets from Walmart, 66 x 96, almost 5 yards of fabric, in a wide selection of colors, for a little over $4 each. They are 60 percent cotton, and wash up nicely.
