"MAKE MORE THAN YOU BUY" Summer Challenge of Handmade Clothing - Part 2
In a world of fast fashion, handmade clothing carries a special kind of charm and authenticity. Each piece is infused with the love and creativity of its creator, making it truly one-of-a-kind. By taking the time to craft your own garments, you are not only expressing your individual style but also reducing your reliance on mass-produced, often unsustainable clothing.
That's what this "Make more than you buy" summer challenge is all about - welcome to PART 2! The second pattern featured in this series is the Recess Play Pants by Matchy Matchy Sewing Club. You can find the pattern here, and you can read more about my experience with the pattern, below.
Pattern Review:
This pattern was a little more advanced than I usually try, although still a beginner friendly option. I wanted a quilted version of the pants, so I pieced scraps into panels based on my sizing, and quilted them to backing fabric (without the batting in between).
Positives:
- The instructions are super easy to follow and diagrams were helpful.
- The pattern includes different options for the waistband and ankle finishes.
- The final fit is really cute and stylish. I can't wait to make another pair!
Negatives:
- Sizing ran a little large. I selected a size based on my measurements and the sizing chart, but they ended up large. Thankfully, I hadn't prewashed my fabric, so after a wash and dry, the pants fit slightly better.
- Added length needed if you are tall (which is not really a negative, just an observation.)
Not only does making your own clothing allow you to express your personal style, but it also promotes sustainability and ethical fashion practices. By choosing to make your clothes, you have full control over the materials you use, ensuring that your garments are made to last. This conscious decision-making process can help reduce waste and lessen your environmental impact.
So, this summer, why not challenge yourself to make more than you buy? Embrace the art of handmade clothing and revel in the joy of creating your own unique wardrobe pieces. Not only will you have the satisfaction of wearing something truly special, but you'll also be contributing to a more sustainable and conscious fashion industry. Let your creativity soar and let your handmade creations tell a story all their own.

I want to testify about Dark Web blank atm cards which can withdraw money from any atm machines around the world. I was very poor before and have no job. I saw so much testimony about how Dark Web hackers send them the atm blank card and use it to collect money in any atm machine and become rich.

They also sent me the blank atm card. I have used it to get 90,000 euro. withdraw the maximum of 5,000 euro daily. The Dark Web is giving out cards just to help the poor. Hack and take money directly from any atm machine vault with the use of an atm programmed card which runs in automatic mode. dm asap if you want to apply.
Best Regard.
