January makes and other things

So what have I been doing last month then? 

Well due to a bout of insomnia I've managed to finish one of my books that I have being reading, well sitting at the side of the bed to be more precise.

Also I've managed to make not one but three pairs of pyjama bottoms, which is quite an achievement for Me!  When I was intending to try and make one item of clothing a month, which is better than none.

Pyjama bottoms numbers one, two and three

I wanted to carry on making, I have basically run out of ready fabric, not fabric I've still got loads of that, but what I mean is fabric that has been washed and ironed.

Well let's talk about cost then; 

Fabric- from stash  £0.

Elastic- from stash  £0.

Thread- also from stash  £0.

Patterns- pair number one are from a pattern I've had for ages £0.

pair numbers two and three  £4. The fabric pieces were not big enough to use my usual pattern, Hobbycraft had a half price sewing event on at the time so the pattern was half price, should of  been £8.

So the cost for three pairs of pyjama bottoms comes to the grand total of £4.
Everything, apart from one pattern, came from my stash. So far so good!

After that mad pyjama bottoms making session I went back onto a granny square making project again! Which is starting to bore me again, but when I have still got a ridiculous amount of odd bits of yarn around (hoarded) I just want to to get it used up because I feel that it is becoming a burden around my neck.

can you see the bottom of the basket yet?
