Ask your friends and acquaintances for clothes. A lot of people donate clothes and don't care what shape they're in. You can always cut around holes or worn areas. What clothes are in your closet that you have no intentions on wearing. Check out the remnant bins at the different stores. Garage sales are great. Especially, MWC estate sales that have plus -size. I've gotten as many as 10 shirts and blouses and cotton pants for $10.00 or less. That is a lot of fabric.
