Pyjama Party

Turning my long pink pj bottoms into shorts has worked well. But I felt I needed a second pair of pjs here. Whilst I was in Dorset at the weekend, I grabbed my pyjama pattern, and picked up one metre of teeshirt fabric from Fabricland. It was the end of a bolt, and only cost me £2.50. Being short, I know I can make a pair of pj bottoms from a metre. Bob was enjoying a sci-fi film, so I took myself off to the dining table, put on a radio play and produced these lockdown pjs. I tapered the leg slightly as the last pair I made were a little too wide.

I'm very pleased with them. The pattern is rather bold - but the red matches my Ethics Girl Teeshirt perfectly, and that's got a few snags and tiny holes now, so it makes a great set. With a scrap that was left I made a "Handyband".It looks dreadful on me as a headband, but makes a good neck-scarf, and can be an instant facemask if needed.

I think I paid around £9 for the pattern, and this is at least the sixth time I've used it [used the children's pattern for play costume trousers] I had spare elastic in my stash

So this set has cost me under £4. Bargain!
