Cheap and Cheerful Fabrics

I am going to attempt to take a beginners sewing course over the summer and I started searching for some fun fabrics that were cheap enough that I could completely destroy them with what is likely to be a disastrous sewing adventure. IKEA happens to have a lot of hip prints that bear similarities to Marimekko designs and nothing is more than $8 per yard! Check out their cheerful prints and patterns here.
