Sloping shoulders? Well, you know how expensive buying shoulder pads is. I have discovered I can get a pair of shoulder pads cheaper by buying a jacket at the Salvation Army, even if I just snip the threads and donate the jacket back! Tonight I have been adding shoulder pads into some of my clothing to improve the look. Also, have had 2 friends in the past with huffy shoulders who immediately removed shoulder pads upon purchase of clothing and donated them to me!

While I'm scrimping, cotton is up to $14 per yard here, new at the fabric store. There are beautiful all cotton shirts at the Goodwill that I can cut up for quilts at approximately 10 cents per yard of yielded fabric - really!
