I'm lazy so I just buy ready made cotton patches. You can still get 'em at most LGS. I usually buy them in the larger quantity bags. Since I shoot a lot of 38 spl. etc. - they work well for my Navies as well. For what they cost, it's a whole lot less time consuming than sitting and cutting and the time I'd use for that is better spent in other pursuits. If I'm in a pinch, I'll use old tee shirts, etc. or various material that I have on hand - as long as it's 100% cotton.

For shooting patches though - it's the old standby of pillow ticking (cotton) as that works the best in my rifles/smoothbore.
