I like to buy flat sheets and use them for my muslins. I also watch yard sales thru the summer, many times I can get a sheet for .25 or a set for a 1.00, I get quite a few muslins for that price.

Like the idea of my old sheets with holes and stains. I have also learned to keep an eye on fabric store sales as far as type (cotton, knit) not pattern, sometimes less than $2yd. I also search Goodwill for oversize clothes. For $1-2 I can cut my size from a larger size garment, again just match the fabric in garments being bundled on bargain days. Craigslist also is good in larger metro areas. Folks sell estate fabric and garments at rock bottom/OBO. ------ re-living my youth through sewing...

If you don't have a thrift nearby, sometimes Wal-Mart will have some super cheap flat sheets. ------ http://talesofawannabeseamstress.blogspot.com/
