Here's a informative video about someone who went through the work of comparing sheet sets to fabric yardage.
My take away is that a king sheet set is about the same as 9 yards of 60" wide fabric. And is a great affordable way to hash out beginner projects, mockups, or super washable camp garb! Keep in mind it's not going to be continuous fabric and may need piecing or creative pattern placement.
You can also find simple white cotton muslin on Amazon for almost the same price as new bedsheets. 10 yards is 35$ I use this often for fittings, mockups, interlinings, and occasionally non sca garments.
