Bras here at the thrift store are always less then $1 and even less if they are in bad shape. Once in a while I'll find an old girdle with the firm stays in it. I can find lot of uses for those stays.

ALSO ...if you buy Walmart sheets right now they come in a little fabric pouch..it works great as a thread catcher, make the pin cushion and attach to the bag the sheet came in...use your choice of plastic to hold it open and cover with a nice fabric to hide the plastic
