Unfortunately I find the rising fabric prices right in line with the rising prices of everything else, it's the quality that is bothering me the most. It too seems right on line with the example explained in this thread, on packaging shrinkage
Ice cream has not been a half gallon for a long time, canned goods ounces continuously shrink. Why wouldn't thread count shrink too with some brands? 😔 It's corporations meeting their bottom line. I feel fortunate that I can afford the groceries and a fulfilling hobby, as long as I'm careful with the budget for both, and have to except that I just get less for my money compared to the good old days.
