"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 thought I had lost my 33 years of savings after being convinced to invest in cryptocurrency, which turned out to be a scam. I searched the web and spoke to friends, and everyone said my money was gone. By chance, I found a post (unrelated to recovering funds, it was about catching a cheating partner) and reached out to the expert. This turned out to be the best decision I’ve made in a long time.
