Thrifty Thursday.

Last year, I got two metres of this fabric to make Joseph some overalls. The plan was to make 2 or 3 winter ones.
I didn't get around to making them so decided on a summer pair and some pajamas. For a total of $7.00, I have one pair of overalls and a pair of pajamas with a spare pair of pants.
I use to think that sewing didn't save me much money but this project has saved me quite a few $.

I love cheap sewing, unfortunately I'm sorely tempted to buy expensive fabric!

Therese said...

Kelly, I am too but I think in the long run, that pays of too since the expensive material tends to last.
