It's easy to find fabric online in the 2.50-$5.00/yd. price range so that's where I do my shopping. I'm also far more interested in color and quality than I am in designer names and brand names so I have no problem finding fabrics that will work in my projects, online at great prices!
Sorry Rose but I have to disagree with you about cotton prices. From several different sources I get the same story, China and India are beginning to have a middle class who want cotton items and that drives the prices up and also weather conditions can cause a problem with how much cotton is grown in a year.
