I agree with Seagoon - 2nd hand is the way to go. Op shops have sheets and often leftover fabric that’s been donated. Sacred Heart has a better selection than Vinnies. A single bed sheet is ample for a lot of projects. If you need a zip, rather than paying $12.50 in Lincraft, look for a garment with the right colour and length zip for $2. The crappiest garments often have good buttons or zips.
I have no idea what the actual cost of my sofa Reno is. Some of the fabric has been in stash for 20 years. Buying it all at once right now would likely cause an embolism…

Absolutely. I used to haunt the local op shops. Unfortunately I’m not getting many opportunities these days. Pretty grumpy about it
Ah, gotcha, disregard my other comment.
