A good budget stretcher is to go to a thrift shop and buy men's cotton shirts to cut up. The shirts have the best plaids and small prints that's hard to find. If you buy shirting fabric in a quilt shop, if you can find it, it's very expensive.

I agree absolutely on this. Men's clothing seems to be made better and made
with much better fabrics. I never seem to be able to find this material for sale.
I get men's shirts in yard sales, thrift shops, and for the asking from family, especially those who are moving and don't want to take pounds of extra weight across the country!!
And I love the shirts that are a solid color with tiny bright stripes!!
