"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.

If you’re not familiar with cryptocurrency trading, I strongly advise you to either stay away from it completely or invest very cautiously. I was forced to invest a significant amount of my life savings on a forex platform to increase my profits, but I ultimately lost roughly 95,000 USD to this investment scam. I was not allowed to take my money out after I had invested and made a profit. I sent a letter to customer service, but it was ineffective, so I realized I had been duped. I was fortunate enough to come across a genuine deal retrieval WEB WIZARD after much looking for ways to acquire assistance. I decided to give it a shot and explained my condition to them. they gave me their word that they would help me get my money back. Honestly, they performed a fantastic job, and my money was recovered in my wallet in less than 24 hours without any upfront payment. I appreciate having encountered WEB WIZARD with such exceptional abilities, it’s truly remarkable.

I am open to share my experience with bitcoin investment and losing money to scammers. However, yes it is possible to recover your stolen bitcoins. I never believed in bitcoin recovery because I was made to understand that it was not possible. However, sometime in October I fell for a forex scam which promised overly high returns and I ended up losing close to $70,000. I searched for a month for help until I finally came across an article on reddit in regards to recovering stolen cryptocurrency so I reached out to him at [recoveryhacker101[at]gmail[dot]com I was so scared and skeptical because I have heard of bad experiences but I decided to give them a try and to my greatest surprise I was able to get all my stolen bitcoins recovered from the scammers within a very short time frame. I don’t know if I’m allowed to share the links on here but you can contact if you also need help.
