where to find cheap fabric and sewing patterns?

I started sewing for my son and nephews, and I am looking for patterns and fabric cheap cheap.

Aargh! You want economic fabric and patterns of good, not cheap, poor quality fabric patterns and ill together. Cheap fabric often struggle at every step the road, and never looks good. Of cheap grain, but in-adequate or crocheted fabrics will look much better, take longer, and something better. May I suggest the books KwikSew to their patterns of children with special needs? They have the basic patterns for all parts, sewing instructions and ideas for changing patterns to create different designs. The patterns go very well together, unlike some of the "regular patterns" of the Big 4. http://www.kwiksew.com/Catalog/Book_Children.cfm (there are other titles). If you decide to buy a used copy, make sure that there are "master models" with him. You trace the patterns on tissue paper thin or interfacing or something similar in order to use them. When you get a little more experience, you might consider treating Ottobre Khali or patterns.

I'm lucky to have a number of independent fabric stores around, some with very good prices, but unaware of all areas are not nearly as fortunate. Some Internet retailers well around, and also co-ops material – Finding a good partnership with someone who knows the tissues and will have someone able to select material of Nice, first, and usually able to see a pattern and tell you if the fabric of cooperation being considered would be adequate. Other places to pick good material, but low cost (and ideas) are thrift stores like Goodwill or Salvation Army. You can find donations of fabric (some things are very nice!) Or look through the racks of "material that is in disguise" – one of my very favorite blouses started with a new cotton dress from a manufacturer's great that someone had blown up the zipper. There was plenty of material in it for a shirt for me (and I'm not small!), And cut for several other projects for the princely sum of $ 1. Probably would have paid about $ 30/yard to the fabric of this quality.
