"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.

LOST BITCOINS RECOVERY TESTIMONY
I invested with a Crypto broker without proper research to know what I was hoarding my hard-earned money into, only to find out it was a hoax and sham. I invested over $180,000 USD estimated to be 6.3 BTC. I was unable to make any withdrawals out of my initial deposits let alone the gains he claimed I have earned even after meeting the bogus fees and charges he is always requesting. Fortunately, I got to know about JETWEBHACKERS Bitcoin recovery programmers through research and positive reviews on Google. After a couple of hours consulting with them, all my funds were recovered including my profits. I can’t thank these guys enough for making me not another prey to these scammers. Thank you JETWEBHACKERS.

I never thought I’d find myself scammed through an investment made because of someone I met on Bumble. It all started innocently enough. I had been chatting with a charming individual who seemed genuinely interested in my life and ambitions. As our conversations progressed, they introduced me to an exciting investment opportunity that promised high returns with minimal risk. Initially, I was skeptical, but their persuasive arguments and the allure of quick profits slowly eroded my hesitations. After doing some minimal research and feeling confident in my newfound partner’s enthusiasm, I decided to invest. I transferred a significant amount of money—$30,000 CAD—convinced I was making a smart decision. For a while, everything seemed to be going well. My investment appeared to be growing, and I was filled with optimism about my financial future. However, the excitement quickly faded when I attempted to withdraw some of my earnings. What followed was a frustrating and disheartening series of obstacles. Each time I tried to access my funds, I was met with requests for more information, additional fees, and, eventually, demands for further investments. I felt trapped, as if I were caught in a web of deceit. The person I had once trusted turned out to be an elusive figure, disappearing whenever I needed assistance. My confidence dwindled, and I felt defeated, not only financially but emotionally. After several weeks of navigating this nightmare, I decided to take action. I began researching potential recovery options online and stumbled upon Rapid Digital Recovery. Skeptical yet desperate, I reached out to them via EMAIL: contact @ rap iddigitalrecove ry. org, and explaining my situation. From the very first conversation, their team was supportive and understanding. They assured me that they had experience in recovering lost funds in similar cases. With their guidance, I gathered the necessary documentation and information. Rapid Digital Recovery took charge of the situation, employing their expertise to tackle the challenges I faced. To my surprise, they were able to recover my money in just a week. The relief was overwhelming, and I felt a weight lifted off my shoulders. If you find yourself in a similar predicament, I cannot recommend Rapid Digital Recovery enough. Their professionalism and commitment to helping clients are commendable. Scams can happen to anyone, especially in today’s digital age, but there is hope for recovery. Don’t hesitate to reach out to them on WHAT SAPP: + 1 41 4 80 7 14 85 for help—there are resources available that can assist you in regaining your financial stability. Remember, you’re not alone in this fight.
