I have been dismayed at the prices of fabrics for years. When i first started getting interested in fabrics it was just a couple dollars a yard...now...?? Outrageous with no end in site! I started looking through the clothes that my kids outgrow. Since most of my stuff is for function and not show quality~ I've been able to salvage quite a bit. Not only do I have memories but am adding to my already out of control stash.
