Since not all of us are able to buy 100 dollars worth of fabric, I'll tell you what I do. If I've out grown an article of clothing that the fabric is good not worn or stained I break it down, Remove the collar, sleeves, seams, and buttons. I do the same for clothing that is no longer in fashion. I've gone to goodwill and gotten XXX-large shirts for 50 cents and broke it down, Theres a lot of fabric there. I've also gotten new clothes at the bargin bin. Reduced several times. When I first was teaching myself to quilt, that the fabric I used.
