"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. 

"MAKE MORE THAN YOU BUY" Summer Challenge of Handmade Clothing - Part 2

What you need: 

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.

Contacting a recovery agent would probably be more of a lame joke to me than an advice a couple of months back before I made a slip and lost $970,600 in the sad process unfortunately. All options came down to contacting a recovery agent and I did. I got details about Mr. JAMES MCKAY WIZARD RECOVERY from my long hours of surfing the web. I saw a post about him on reddit and I decided to give it a shot. Since I do not have any other option and nothing more to loose at this point. I immediately contacted him and that’s the best decision I’ve made. I would have lost all my retirement benefits to these fraudsters. He got the money back swiftly, it was barely a challenge to him. His work is up to par and I recommend him, I have introduced a couple of my other friends to him too. you can contact him on jamesmckaywizard at gmail dot com or WhatsApp +3165.7.4.4.6.2.4.8. you can do well to thank me later

Bitcoin Recovery Testimony – From a Retired Doctor

I never thought bitcoin recovery was real until it happened to me.
My name is Mark Breton, and I lost $230,000 worth of bitcoin to an investment scam.
It looked so real, so convincing, and I trusted them completely.
By the time I realized it was a scam, everything was gone.
I felt helpless and angry, not knowing where to turn or what to do next.
Days turned into weeks of frustration and regret.
Then I came across Cloudstrike Cybersecurity Company.
I was skeptical at first, but I decided to give them a try.
From the first moment, their team was responsive and very professional.
They listened, asked the right questions, and got to work immediately.
To my surprise, they were able to recover all my lost funds.
It felt unreal to see the funds back in my wallet.
Their level of expertise and dedication is truly remarkable.
If you’re a victim of crypto scams, I strongly recommend reaching out to them.
You can contact them via email at [Cloudstrikecyber@gmail.com

they really do deliver.
