Welcome from the Gulf at Corpus Christi, Texas. You can start with some sales and look in your own closets and clothes you just know you won't wear any more. I got new sheets. So when I was them they go right back on my bed. That leaves me with 2 sets of queen size sheets. That is a lot of material. I got tired of the sheets creeping up off the corners. I'm going take the fitted part and turn those into useful stash. The pillow cases and top sheets will become temporary covering for any instance we have guests. So check your own house first. Next check out estate sales for cotton shirts and dresses, blouses. Old flannel shirts, blue jeans. Bonnie Hunter has a video for deboning a shirt. Garage sales, thrift shops. This past summer I went to Salvation Army near home and got 2 denim dresses and a couple pair of 3xl shirts for men and couple pair of men's big and tall jeans for about $20.00. I save the pockets. I don't detach the button strips from the buttons. just a good way to hang on to them. Ask friends if they have any clothes they don't want. I myself am not a fan of shirts with logos but I like the t-shirts for the material. Also kids clothes like the little girls summer cotton dresses are nice sizes of yardage. Ladies cotton patio (Moo Moos)dresses are great for material and cotton robes. Some robes are great for backing also. especially (rare but there)mens flannel robes. Just think of any place for used clothing. Many of the thrift stores have 50% discounts on everything on Saturdays. I'm working on a couple crazy quilts. Found a couple underslips with lacey hems. One underskirt had a hem of 5 inchwide lace and it was on a big girl's slip. Just evry where there is something. Just make sure you wash anything from thrift stores and garage sales immediately when you get home. I don't take any of it in the house. I try to buy those that have no tobacco or perfumed items. They're boogers to clean. But doable wjith vinegar and ammonia and bleach (not all together though). Many tips on laundering fabric onthis board. HAPPY QUILTING!!
