If nothing else - purses, trimmings, collar and cuff linings, modesties,
cloth belts, hats, lesser-priced smaller garments (jupons, bodices,
waistcoats) for children and smaller adults or even larger adults who didn't
mind clever piecing.....
And don't forget, this applied to silks as well as wools and linens and also
cottons when available. In short, _everything_; sometimes even including
bits of ribbon and other woven edgings and cordings.... Buttons, hooks,
etc. were priced by the each so there were no 'leftover' bits, there.

Subject: [h-cost] Cabbage question
Of course, what was done with the cabbage? I can't see good wools being
used for dustrags, yet there's no evidence of American-style patchwork
quilting until the 18th Century.
