"MAKE MORE THAN YOU BUY" Summer Challenge of Handmade Clothing - Part 4
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 4! The fourth pattern featured in this series is the Sauvie Sundress by Sew House Seven. You can find the pattern here, and you can read more about my experience with the pattern, below.
What you need:
Check out all of my sewing recommendations here on my Amazon Storefront!
Piecing the dress:
- Take scraps that are at least 12" x 12". Obviously, you can use smaller pieces, but to recreate this look - larger scraps are ideal.
- Lay out the scraps to determine the arrangement.
- Begin by sewing 2 pieces right-sides together with a .5" seam.
- Press to one side.
- On the right-side, stitch again .25" from the seam - securing the pressed edge.
- Repeat with each additional section added.
- For this method, the thread is visible on the outside of the finished dress. Personally, I like this look! I think it adds visual interest to the dress.
Alternative methods - use a serger to finish each seam. IMO, the seams don't lay as flat and I don't like piecing with my serger. A full French seam is also an option, which is the cleanest finish, but it's very time consuming.
Pattern Review:
Positives:
- This pattern was beginner friendly, instructions are easy to follow and diagrams were helpful.
- The sizing is inclusive, and there are four combinations for dress shape and hemline options.
- PDF or hardcopies are available for purchase. Lately, I've preferred hard copy clothing patterns, because the pattern paper is easier to pin than printer paper.
Negatives:
- The only negative experience I had with this pattern, was the pockets. I'll blame operator error, but I really struggled to understand the diagrams and written instructions for this step. Perhaps a more experienced sewist wouldn't have this problem? Either way, I have a gripe with the pockets design.
Modifications:
- I lengthened the torso by 2", and I'm so glad I did. I am 5'10", so I usually have to make height adjustments to most patterns.
- Added sleeve ties. This was a "just for fun" adjustment, but also a failsafe in case I lengthened the torso too much. I love how they turned out!!
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’m June Watkins from California. I never thought I’d lose my life savings in Bitcoin. One wrong click, a fake wallet update, and $187,000 vanished in seconds. I cried for days, felt stupid, ashamed, and completely hopeless. But God wouldn’t let me stay silent or defeated. A friend sent me a simple message: “Contact Mbcoin Recovery Group, they specialize in this.” I was skeptical (there are so many scammers), but something in my spirit said “try.” I reached out to Mbcoin Recovery Group through their official site and within minutes their team responded with kindness and clarity. They walked with me step by step, and stayed in constant contact. Three days later, I watched in tears as every single Bitcoin returned to my wallet, 100% recovered. God turned my mess into a message and my shame into a testimony! If you’ve lost crypto and feel it’s gone forever, don’t give up. I’m living proof that recovery is possible. Thank you, Mbcoin Recovery Group, and thank You, Jesus, for never leaving me stranded. contact: https://mbcoinrecoverygrou.wixsite.com/mb-coin-recovery

Before you place any investment with a broker, ensure that you do your proper research so you don’t end up sending scammers your hard-earned money. I suffered from this after I sent a scammer I perceived to be a legitimate broker, but it later turned out he was a scammer. But I am happy I got introduced to recoveryhacker101, because indeed I wouldn’t have gotten my funds if not for their expert services in tracing stolen crypto funds. I eventually got my money back and, trust me, I am not investing anymore. I can remember the sudden pain I got after I realized the broker was a scammer. That’s why I have taken my time to post this comment here to anyone in need of a crypto recovery expert can simply reach me at (recoveryhacker101@gmailcom). I vouch for their services 100%.
