Hello friends! Today I am making a pinafore I saw on SHEIN, for cheaper than it costs to buy the dress -- which was a surprise to me! Please remember, while I will always advocate for shopping as sustainably as possible, this video is in no way telling you where you should spend your money or how, it's simply a way for me to share better ways to consume, as it were, and how to make a fairly simple item instead of buying a sub-par item from a fast-fashion cheap-labor-propelled website.
IMO sustainability is all about balance, and doing the best you can with what you have, no matter where you shop. But, like everyone I think, I have a hard line I won't cross, and that is with SHEIN (and Romwe, aliexpress, temu, etc.)
I'd love to know your thoughts and whether you'd ever try making a garment like this!
much love always,
Kristina

A lil reminder! I'm not here to judge where you shop, just to provide you with more info and consideration as you do so - like everyone else I also love a happy purchase and we all deserve to find some joy in what we own! If you'd like to delve more into the joy of learning to make your own things, I really do highly recommend Skillshare (or I wouldn't be working with them so much!). I've been having so much fun adding more skills and refreshing already-existing skills with them.
always lots of love, Kristina
@WithLoveKristina Hi its me Ana am watchin ur video now. I sure wish I had U make me 7 everdae dresses an I wood pay U 4 them. Kuz I love wearin dresses as well 2 do watever housework or chore I need 2 do. I wood even wear them kuttin grass an doin yardwork. 2 me its NO big deal kuz I get stuff done. I don't sew an U make it look so easy. I just do simple thins like sew buttons on , rips tears I kan mend. That kinda stuff.😊😊❤❤😊😊❤❤😊😊❤
Kristina, 100% cotton sheets are the best! I use a lot of Aunt Martha's iron on transfers for embroidery. Not an artistic bone in my body insofar as drawing goes. Sewing with or without a pattern I can do with my eyes closed 😆.
Sometimes (and hear me out), sometimes it’s not how FAST you finish a thing. Sometimes it’s about the time you take for yourself. I find hand stitching meditative, peaceful, restorative.
Also, our children learn more about our values seeing us live our lives in sustainable ways.
This video made me fall in love with you and your family ❤
I like skillshare but it’s wayyy too expensive especially since last I checked they only have year subscriptions not monthly where you can cancel any time.
It’s easy to refuse SHEIN… it may look cute, but the fabric is always icky. My friends who shop there, notice that but always make excuses… no thanks :)
Yeah all the secondhand SHEIN stuff I’ve felt in thrift stores feels soooo plasticky and gross!
Ya it seriously feels like trash bags.
Yes, once you’ve made a garment out of linen for the summer you don’t want to go back to the plastic lol I got a linen cotton blend at a church rummage sale for 50 cents Saturday. I ran away before they realized I got 2.5 yards for a silly price 🤪
Or cotton, I love cotton, too! But linen is so expensive to buy already made in to a garment.
Also SHEIN is awful but even more expensive brands employ slave labor and children, and use horrific forever chemicals.
Yup. And I am just DONE with icky fabric. I hate sweating in clothing that doesn’t breathe.
My friends tries to make me believe their fabric doesn't feel like trash and I just don't believe her
Shein uses images of high quality dresses (not their own), often from independent designers or sewists, and then produces the lamest dupe possible for 5 cents. As you point out, sewing such a dress takes a lot of fabric, time, effort, and skill (and for some of us, perseverance 🤣)
Well done. It’s so very cute.
They really do! I tried to find out if this was a ripoff and I’m betting it was on Etsy at some point somewhere even tho I couldn’t find any specific designer that did it.
I have to admit sewing such a dress is not easy, at least I can't. Buying less is a proper way to keep sustainable and yes, I buy shein - their evolushein series use recycled materials, just get what I really need.
those poor talented people :(
Came for the making, stayed for the anti-fast fashion rant. I love you!!❤
I loveyouuuuu
Same!
Please ignore them Ms. Kristina. Its not worth your time to argue with people who want to yell at something you dont have control over. As you said you dont have control over what they buy. So if they get mad, its really not your problem. You and Ms. Stephanie are awesome! I saw the intros to vids from you both and instantly subscribed. You're both hilarious sweethearts😊
You guys don't need to stress over the words of people you're most likely to never meet. It's unnecessary 🤣
OMG i do this ALL THE TIME! Every time I get a shein ad for an item i like I screenshot it and add it to my "to make" folder and when i go get fabric i'll make whatever i saw. Its such a good tip in order to have clothing you want (also in your size for plus size girlies like myself) and i dont have to support Shein
Going to start doing this, great idea!
My "to make" list is overflowing lol
At home with 5 kids? ! am a beginner, have only one kid and it took me a literal month to sew one skirt. You deserve a medal!
I sewed myself a brown tweed Strawberry Shortcake inspired menswear outfit with green and white striped socksband pink crocs (with handmade clay strawberry charms) AND painted a red umbrella to look like a strawberry! It was really easy to take the cap off of it and add two pieces of three leaves underneath.
This sounds fabulous 👏👏👏😍
Ooh, I'd love to see that!
I can't believe I just read "Strawberry Shortcake inspired menswear outfit" AND your comment got better and better from there.
'and i REFUSE to purchase from shein' finally someone with some integrity that doesn't need to purchase trash from shady/harmful companies for 'content'
instant subscribe.
Haha! Don't you just love how mind bending sewing is sometimes? You learn how to think inside out, backwards, and upside down. It can be rough!
It's a good way to use all the big thinking skills LOL
For real! I consider myself a visual person and to have a good minds eye with regards to manipulating shapes, but damn if sewing doesn't push that ability to the limits.
Highly recommend looking up the royal school of needlework stitch bank. They have so many stitches to look at and learn how to do them! It really helps to know certain stitches, or comparing them, so you can choose the one that suits your project best and looks the way you want it to look. 😊
I really love the strawberry dress, but I also really love the dress you wear at the end, with the red roses, so cute!
Oooh thank you for this recommendation!
Easy ruffle tip!! Take a long piece of heavy thread and zig zag over it. Then pull the heavy thread. Learned that from an elderly woman who was a seamstress who taught me!!
lol “if you are a professional seamstress please don’t watch this video” 🙂 that’s exactly how I feel about anything I make. Don’t look too close, ya know?? 😬
The real question is, "Who is going to really notice anything below your shoulders/neck?" I wore a formal gown a few months ago that I had thrifted. The hem looked 100% fine on the outside, and terrible on the inside. I didn't care, because it looked beautiful on the outside. I saw several women at an event recently with beautiful every-day dresses/skirts. I was immediately able to tell the dresses were homemade (wrong in one instance though) not because of how bad they were, but because of how beautiful and one-of-a-kind they were. Maybe there were flaws in the dresses; goodness knows my own are not perfect. But if they look nice and give us confidence, who cares?
My nephew saw my screen over my shoulder while you were talking and said "what's that? mama?" which is probably the best compliment you can get from a toddler you've never met!
Thank you for the carefully breaking down how much a dress really costs. I do think that mass production is a wonderful thing. I'm also struck by the fact that although everything most people wear is mass produced, I rarely see myself or others wearing the same outfit. So the feeling of individuality is maintained. With all that being said, You Did A Splendid Job of Sewing That Dress. It came out beautifully made and it is an heirloom dress. I'm sure your children will be glad to wear it someday. And it is amazing how good that can feel to a grown child to wear something that mother made and wore.
I think mass production can be a great thing! If course, I think it'd be better without fast-fashion and cheap labor practices (imagine if everyone could make a living doing what they liked, even in mass production!) and I'm not a huge fan of polyester and other plastic materials, but we all do what we can and finding joy in life is also important.
I want to say thank you for staying strong and refusing to support the exploitation of garment workers! You're an inspiration!
Yeah but other big brands do the same, are you going to refuse all, including your clothings, phones, food and coffee ?
@@lianglianglee4562 I buy my clothing secondhand from thrift stores, my phone is from 2016, and my diet is none of your business as it's dictated by my medical conditions.
@@lianglianglee4562 I use the same phone for the last 5 years or so. I can thrift or make my own clothes and there are ethical food brands (or no brands at all! buy from farmers if you can, etc).
Of course we can't be 100% ethical but I think the discussion is mostly about avoiding constantly buying things than anything else.
These "other unethical brands" you mentioned could AT LEAST provide long lasting/high quality clothes, unlike SHEIN that sells wearable trash bags and encourages constant buying instead.
Super cute make! I LOVE your red rose dress, it is gorgeous. A toddler bouncing on the table whilst sewing brings back soooooo many memories. Creating in the chaos of motherhood are magical times. I can tell you that my kids who are in their 20's now are all creative in different ways and really value the effort that goes into making everything. Plus their sense of colour and dressing for themselves, not what is trendy, is fun as they ask me to sew garments for them. I am a quiltmaker and they relish a new quilt from me and still have their well worn toddler quilts. They still enjoy playing with my fabrics and pattern designs. So your children are learning a lot by being with you as you create. I can see the long term affect compared to the other mum's at school who were not creative. My kids love art, gardens and decorating their rooms. Plus, frugality is the mother of invention and ingenuity!!
As a sewer of 45 plus years can I suggest something to you. When I am going to cut rectangles or squares that are large like the skirt panel I will measure and make a snip then tare the fabric. It gives me an on-grain line. Fabric stores did this all the time "back in the day". There will be a bit of a fluffy edge but as all edges get encased in the end it might make preparation easy in these types of projects.
I really enjoy your channel. Saying hello from Australia xxxxx
Much the same. Oh, the love of how we lived through it all this all our years ago.🍓💛😊 Thank you, Kristina. I had written a lovely comment but lost it somehow. I found this comment said it all and more. Bottom line is this I say thank you for touching our hearts Miss Kristina for so more and more and for Skill Share for sponsoring you. It would be wise tho have them continue helping you to create. It is a win win to advertise from your business, for the extra help you both offer us and viewers Thank you both for doing business together. Kristina is doing what she does best; be herself.😊🍓💛🫖☕️🌟👍
You’re are amazing and your pinafore is adorable! I can’t believe how you are able to juggle your large family and being a creative maker and youtuber! And you’re gorgeous to boot. Big hand claps to you and thank you for sharing❤
I’m trying to shift into slow fashion/ thrifting / sewing my own clothes. I would LOVE to see more videos like this.
I'd start with upcycling men's shirts - you can learn a lot and get a garment out of it. Evelyn Wood has great beginner friendly videos about sewing and troubleshooting. I can also recommend @MiaSewing for making some very easy garments out of thrifted fabric .
So true about the Yul Brynner thing. The man was a god. Never has anyone looked better bald.
Agreeee
Please tell me you got that plate😎
Oh, yes. Rawr.
Agree partially, because have you seen Patrick Stewart? 😍
I love your new dress. It's beautiful, and the embroidery is gorgeous. I, too, loved Yul Brenner. I lost count how many times I saw The King and I. I knew each time he wouldn't die, but alas, he did. One of my greatest joys was getting to see him perform the King and I in person. I was enthralled. He was magnificent. And yes, he did die in the live stage production too. I was inconsolable.
"Creating little pockets of joy." I love that so much ❤❤❤
Hahaha I knew it even though I’m not a seamstress. My mom would say we need to wash to cut down the shrinking of the fabric.
Yes I agree in having a project during the summer to do.
Sorry but that was my thought too. I must know your mom! I sure hope the colors from embroidery don't run also. Maybe this is a dry clean only dress though with all the extra efforts she went through. I love a good pinafore dress!
Wow! I am amazed. I like the ingenuity of "I can do this!" and then doing it, yourself. Also, you are a Super mom! When my three were in that age range, I listened for silences (aka: it's quiet, TOO quiet!), never closed the bathroom door (or held it shut or open, depending) and God forbid I try to do anything crafty. (Oldest would have taken the camera apart mid-filming!) You are doing a great job as a mom and it is nice to see you supported in that by loved ones. It is good for the kiddos to see you working on nifty stuff! I am enjoying this video and just had to pause and send some supportive compliments your way. We never get enough.
Very cute. Take a tuck on the bib by each strap so it lays flat and shows off the embroidery better.
Lmfao, this SheIn Apron has been on my "to make" list, so this is perfection.
It is a beautiful dress, and you look lovely in it!
The embroidery design was especially creative and delightful! I thought the bees were an excellent addition and I love the way you outlined their little flight track with individual stitches.
To me, this is an heirloom, legacy garment.
Who knows where it will end up. It might reside in a museum, or certainly among the prized and cherished possessions of many later generations of your family.
Huzzah!
Good on you, girl!
Haha you are so sweet! The embroidery is so fun to do. 💖
So cuuuttteeee! I would probably make a black one with skulls, lol
Ok a Halloween themed one??? THIS WOULD BE SO CUTE! Imagine spiderweb theme! Pumpkins and bats!
I totally loved this video. I recently thrifted this beautiful fabric that when I got home turned out to be a half made jacket.......I've never made clothes......now I have and let me tell you the bad language coming from shocked my husband as I unpicked and resewed a sleeve for the 4th time! You did great, and it's lovely.
Yes! Say no to Shein and say yes to a strawberry apron for your strawberry kitchen!
This turned out so pretty and your embroidery is lovely.
I really love the videos where you incorporate embroidery. You're so talented at it ☺I love this project and your previous one with the mushrooms 🍄🍓❤
I've been trying to learn sewing just so I could copy things from SHEIN using non-polyester fabric!! Feels good trying to be more ethical + cotton is much healthier for eczema skin. This process was so cool to watch & the end product is gorgeous
This is such a cute project! I'm at home, sick in bed, and I wish I had the energy to sew right now. Thank you for filming all of this for us to enjoy.
Your channel and music choices gives Mr Rogers vibes, which is the highest compliment.
This is the best compliment I have ever received 🥹
Love all the Strawberrys ! Greetings from Finland
So cute! Love how the simple design becomes so unique with the embroidery! Also the dress you wear in the review is to die for! You look stunning in it!
I absolutely love these Shein (but better) sewing videos! The apron you made was one of my favorite videos of yours. I think this should be a series!
Love the dress and love the apron. I sincerely like that you wear dresses most of the time. 😊
That rose dress looks so fantastic on you! I love that cut and shape! 🙂
Your dress is beautiful. I love the wonderful strawberries and the bee! I have been making my own clothes for decades and hardly ever add any embellishments. You have just inspired me to begin to take the time and do just that. I think it will make my dresses more than just clothes. They will be pieces of me! Thank you!
Embellishing is so fun! I love a good bit of personalization. Making your own clothes for so long is so impressive!
Slight rant below:
Yes, the whole Shein conundrum frustrated me. I was in a "Cottagecore but make it Curvy" FB group a few years ago and so many people would purchase from Shein. It struck me as so hypocritical, because they would regularly discuss how societal structures discriminate against bigger bodies (which I 100% agree with) and the need for more equitable and just systems but then turn around and buy from these companies that make clothes using modern-day slave labor?!?! I saw a lot of people say in response, "Oh don't feel guilty, there is no ethical consumption under capitalism." THAT'S NOT WHAT THAT MEANS. It does NOT mean "Oh since everything is unethical, I may as well go with the worst option and not try to find anything better."
Now, I am fully aware that finding clothes that fit a larger body that also make you feel cute AND are ethically and environmentally conscious is a pretty difficult task. Add in affordability and durability and that becomes almost impossible. It wasn't as much the fact that they bought the clothes from that brand in particular as it was the hypocrisy of what I described above. If you're going to do it, then at least be honest with yourself. Part of that conversation should be recognizing that a low price means that you may not be paying the cost directly, but someone or something else will be...
And this sounds pretty gatekeep-y but oh well, the whole thing with cottagecore is that, to me, it encompasses elements of sustainability, earthiness, compassion, harmony with nature, and finding satisfaction in simplicity. Shein and Amazon follow literally none of those. But I suppose that's a major difference in how people approach these sorts of things, to me Cottagecore was a set of principles and to others it was merely a way to dress.
You know, the great Aesthetics Boom of the pandemic made me see a lot clearer (as a nonreligious person) why there are so many different Christian denominations that split over seemingly minor differences. That would make for an interesting thesis paper...... Hmmm....
I 100% agree with all of this. It's so frustrating to see the dismissive attitude of some of these people. I think that's a big thing with American culture, though. Being an American (of course not only Americans buy from Shein) we don't really care about something unless it directly affects us or we see it in front of us and no one is outside our front door sewing paper-thin dresses in horrid conditions.
I hate how people take trends like cottagecore and minimalism and somehow manage to turn it into the most heinous, unsustainable thing ever.
Also, could you elaborate on the Christian point? I'm very interested in that (As an also non religious person)
The pockets are my favorite! And the little touch of lace really polished the look
I love it! I've been wanting to make something similar, I have the fabric sitting and waiting. You've motivated me to just get it done!!
Excellent job on that creation! Also a very important and relevant message! Thank you!
Cute video! I haven't sewn since i had my twins two years ago but it's finally time to get back into it! Thanks for the inspiration
Your strawberry brooch is amazing and I adore it. I also love your apron!! Thank you so much for the inspiration.
You did a beautiful job on the dress. I love it! Thank you for showing that things can be homemade and just as gorgeous as store bought....even moreso!
This was so much fun to watch! I love it.
You did a good job on this project. The embroidery is adorable.
You did an awesome job. Not having a pattern to follow is hard. Excellent job! It's so cute!
This was such a lovely video to watch while drawing -- thanks for this!
Love the pinafore! And your honesty about picking and picking and picking........ Thanks for your honesty also. You go girl!
Love what you did! creating your own clothes and for family or friends really does feel special & like a super power. God bless ❤
❤ It's adorable ❤ Just proves that these skills are so important. If ready-to-wear goes away, there will be so many people who won't be able to clothe themselves.
Thank you for sharing this. It turned out beautiful. I love it and thanks for the example.
So cute!! You did a great job!! You so inspire me to get sewing!!
Thank you so much for this video! I already wanted to get into embroidery after watching your other video recreating Shein and the strawberries really did it. The shade of pink of the fabric is beautiful! I'm so glad I found your channel!
You did a wonderful job. So amazing. Such, beautiful artistry in the colors and designs. You can design and sew in chaos any time. So beautiful.
I really admire your approach to attaining. You put forth genuine craftsmanship and brought your own spin instead of resorting to the cheap destructive fast fashion version. As a result, you'll be wearing a well made classic that will make vintage collectors happy long after we've all crossed over the rainbow.
That turned out absolutely darling. I am so impressed with details and how you shared your struggle with the construction but kept going. I’m a self-taught artist and I always appreciate the effort that goes into learning new skills and trying new things. Great work.
Absolutely adorable apron! Beautiful job!
Oh my goodness, your dress turned out fabulous! Your embroidery has given me a renewed desire to want to learn how to embroider so I can put beautiful designs onto my clothes. Keep up the great work that you do.
Your embroidery turned out so pretty on this piece! ❤ I love these slow kind of making days….where you can just chill under a tree and stitch on a new project. 🙌
I absolutely love the pinafore you made.
Starting my sewing journey, love that you got very passionate about fast fashion sending good vibes. Going to stick around a while.❤❤
Oh my goodness, that is soooo cute!! Wonderful work 💕🐾💕
I'm halfway through and really enjoying this but I have to say. I'm 55 and have had baby fever for like ever and wish I was closer so I could be the Maria in the "Sound of Music" and smell flowers with those babies!
I bet there's some moms groups near you who'd love a friendly grandma/auntie. ❤
Haha this baby smells like cheerios and dirt 😜
@@WithLoveKristina The best! We called them doughnut seeds growing up and my husband had no idea what we were talking about for years
@@therewillbecatswithgwenhwyfar My daughter told me that she didn't want children but would be happy to get a lizard to love on. My son is still too young but will work on him soon
Thank you for educating on the negatives of fast fashion and showing alternatives!
I'm SO happy to have come across a vintage fashion channel that ALSO speaks for sustainability ❤ so many people go aesthetics-first at whatever cost, or use a vintage look as an excuse to tout reductive and unsustainable lifestyle choices. You definitely got a new follower! The project turned out GORGEOUS and I can't wait to see what other videos you have in store! Thank you ❤
You’re inspiring me! I really want to sew and used to know the basics, so I can do so again. But I’m always so intimidated!
Girl you’re so impressive! Defineetely gave me the inspiration to try myself
I almost always get so excited about new fabric and cutting things out (which I LOVE) and forget to wash and dry first. And still, my stuff turns out fine, quilts and cloths. I also love to iron while sewing, it's so satisfying to flatten seams and stuff. Also, ironing is super helpful for No-Pin sewing. Fantastic outcome! Thanks for showing it to us.
Your strawberry dress/apron is amazing! You are an artist, designing your strawberry embroidery. You have a lovely garment that you made start to finish.❤
Just beautiful and I think I will have a go at the embroidery as I also love Strawberries 🍓 I have a vintage apron pattern as I sew so I will adapt to add the embroidery,thank you for sharing and I love everything you do on here .❤
Chaos and coffee fueled the cutest dress ever! I love it! You did such a good job. I enjoyed this video with a pot of tea while holding my sleeping baby. Such a good way to spend this evening. Thanks kristina! ❤
I am so here for a series of this. This is wonderful
14:42 Baby knows ASL!! says thank you to toddler for helping!! ❤❤ AND asks for more!! ❤❤
Straightened hand coming from chin for 'thank you'. Fingertips in grasping position on each hand brought together and tapped for 'More'. But Baby tapped one gathered fingertip hand to the snackie cup!! 😍😍
Stunning...Bravo❤ much more beautiful and amazing quality...youvmade it !!!you did amazing
I commented a while back on your clothing repair video that I want to learn how to sew. Well, I inherited a sewing machine and have been slowly teaching myself. Today as I watch this video I’m also filming my own sewing video that maaaaay end up on CZcams. Just wanted to say thank you for your lovely content, it’s so inspiring!
I LOVE IT!! ❤
You are so talented.
I love it so much! You are so talented Kristina! It’s so sweet and beautiful! 🍓♥️🍓
Words cannot describe how much I love this!! I love that making our own clothes is coming back into fashion, you did such a wonderful job, it looks adorable on you. I keep getting Shein adverts too for some really cute dresses/pinafores, I cannot justify spending any amount of money on fast fashion websites either, but I'm definitely gonna give this a go at some point!
OMG I’m also in love with strawberries! My entire sewing room and bathroom is strawberry themed! The pinafore is also so cute I’m def gonna make something like that one day!
Great video! I don't sew (yet), but I love watching sewing videos here on CZcams. I'm glad you are making a stand against unethical fast-fashion practices, too.
your style is so cool omg this is great
The embroidery was Outstanding! Great job!
Oh Kristina! How beautiful!!! I adore the embroidery! You look wonderful in it!!!😍😍😍
Nice!! The embroidery is so pretty!!🍓
You are an interesting sewer , that turned out very cute, especially the embroidery ❤❤❤. Best of all you completed it so many get frustrated and don’t complete it including me been sewing over 40 years off and on. Kids
Hooray! This is my kind of sewing video. I sew the same way when making my skirts which I have not done in years, your video makes me want to make myself a dress. And I adore how easy you show it is to cut out the pattern without using a pattern. I cannot sew using a pattern I have to eyeball/ measure my body to sew my clothing and I have not been able to master arm holes. Plus, I handsew I do not machine sew.
I don't know why it took so long for you to appear in my feed, but I'm glad you did! Adorable style, instant follow.
Hi there from Singapore! 😃 I enjoyed the video so much! The moment i heard the anti fast fashion rant, i just had to hit 'subscribe'. 😍
Super cute! And looks much better than the shein version.
This is trully impressive! Wow! Youve outdone yourself..
Love the embroidery! 😍
My coworkers were talking about buying from Shein (not necessarily buying clothes, but yes buying clothes) today and I was silently in my head just like thinking to myself "I just avoid that place" but also feeling left out in not choosing them for some reason. Anyway, watching this beause it's on point and I'm getting more into sewing and just want something to distract me from my homework and give you lots of kudos for doing this!
I watch Stephanie Canada on a regular and she's hilarious! Just subscribed to your channel as I, too looove vintage styles ❤
I finished a tiny pair of noren curtains for my bedroom door. I listened to your video while I was hand sewing, and you've solidified my decision to invest in a sewing machine. I have kids, and I am plus-sized, I feel like making our own clothing as much as we can would be great. I've hand sewn a lot since I was a kid, and I think I'm ready to go for it! Also a lot of chaos and caffeine over here, too haha.
The way I’ve been ignoring the exact same ad of the exact same pinafore for so long and I also wanna make it 😂 I will be getting around to it eventually but thank you for forging the path ❤😊
Oh my god what a piece of art! I HAVE to embroider something now😍
