If you are still in the market to make a last minute costume, Hancock Fabric has their Halloween fabrics 50-75%. The above fabric that I purchased this evening was originally $6.99 a yard is now a $1.74 a yard.
They had several cute prints, including some with Sesame Street character, cats, spiders, haunted houses,etc. that ranged normally from $5.99-$8.99/yrd and they were 75% off (with discount would be $1.50-$2.25/yd).
The costume making fabrics, such as the traditional "wizard print" with silver stars on a purple backgrounds, satins and lamés originally were priced from $5.99-$12.99/yd and they were 50% (with the discount would be $2.99 to $6.50/yd).
If you live in a colder climate and need a warmer fabric their fleeces (except the Team Fleece which is on sale for $5.99/yd and the licensed "Celebrity" (ex: SpongeBob) for $8.99/yd. (Although dressing in layers with thermal undies or sweats is what we usually have done).
