I just go buy a few yards of it at the fabric store and cut off whatever size I need. It's like 1.79 a yd.
Make sure you don't get the really thick stuff that has some kind of a wax on it, which flakes off when you bend it.

I've done this as well. I purchase a couple of colors for testing and samples. Tell them you want t-shirt material in 100% cotton, 50/50 or what ever you need. My local store was glad to help.

Just use shirts. You can print them outside, turn them inside out and print the inside as well.
