What is the Re-Challenge

Re-Fashion, Re-Create, Re-Use, Recycle, Reduce, that is our goal.

The Re-Challenge is a challenge to anyone who should accept it to practice the 5 Re's before going out and buying something new or even worse, mass produced.

Less is more and new is not necessarily better.

Welcome to The Re Challenge

Welcome to The Re Challenge.  We are Tricia and Alex and we will be your navigators through your journey here.  We are a mother and daughter team of designers with very different tastes as well as interests but we share a love of sewing, baking, candle stick making (OK just kidding but it rhymed).  

For many years we have been disgusted by the buy mentality that has swept our society.  We have longed for those simpler times (though they had their own problems), for simpler things like sipping lemonade on the front porch instead of watching someone doing it on TV.  For the simplicity and beauty of handmade clothing and items made by a person, with love and patience. I came to the realization that things seperate us all from the life I we yearn for. If you too say no to the buy more stuff to be happy mentality and yes to make it yourself or special and handmade , then join us.  The rules are posted at the top of the page. Don't forget to share your projects with us.
