What about a butterfly dress✨👗🦋✨

[@spaghettibete4286]

I'm thinking either a very embroidery-heavy dress or a very layered tulle dress that's very drapey, Paolo Sebastian sort of thing? Also it would be super fun to see you try your hand at WINGS (either those crazy bonkers giant cosplay wings or the iridescent cellophane type)

[@lovechid]

What about a mermaid dress

[@gamesplayerrose]

TOMMOROW????? thats crazy

[@sewerratowo5952]

something goblin e.g moss covered garment with little bug friends on it

[@jenniferblakemore1329]

The ways in which you’ve upped your game in sewing and cinematography I simply cannot. I’m so impressed by you and inspired.

[@dovelyn1519]

Bro that sponsor transition got me 😂that was great - also love this dress!! I've always wanted one of these and now I'm totally thinking of making one 👀

[@CraftsandCasts]

Legitimate made me nose snort 🤣🤣

[@craftychaos6189]

I cannot. The Square Space segue. . . The Tokyo Drift song (high school hip hop routine hello), the most epic song/scene from the Ocean’s series . . . This video was like a gremlin level journey through my favorite memories.

[@gardenfayari]

I hope your love for trees never ends, I bet this dress is going to look amazing💚

[@HazarielAtelier]

OMG this is super cute! Did we just release a vid of 2 pieces of the same leafy outfit 2 hours appart? Love the vibe🌿

[@PricklyAlpaca]

Thank youuu! 💕❤️ I noticed that too and on EARTH DAY? We're so on brand 💅

[@jacqulinestille3704]

I have learned what a French seam is. My sewing will never be the same. Thank you for explaining what a French seam is.

[@PricklyAlpaca]

They literally broke my brain when I learned about them 😮 They're so useful!!

[@rowan_like_the_tree]

literally, I've been hearing about French seams for years but never understood them and watching this video it all just ~clicked~

[@Etombs974]

As another seamstress who likes cutting corners way too much, I feel you on being proud that you made something wearable. Sometimes when I manage to force myself to do something the right way I get frustrated, but the end result is always worth it. The dress/outfit turned out so beautiful!

[@Demonic-Art-Skeleton]

That was the BEST transition into an ad, I had no idea where you were going with that 🤣

[@jellyfishdoodler]

Its a milk cra- oh 🤣 Super cute fit!! 🌿

[@claracatlady9844]

Waiting to do work until your cat decides to get off you or off your project is such a mood. Very relatable. It’s the law we all know that

[@allelon8284]

Instead of cringing every time you show a thing from your previous projects you're not happy with, I think it would be a fun video idea to fix those mistakes with techniques you've learned along the way and improved in your skills in general! Also, I think it would be a way to look back on all the things you've made over the time you've been making things. Who knows, a 200k special?

[@dannieden5049]

One of my favorite channels. I clicked so fast! I am also frequently struck by tree and nature envy, and you acknowledging that made me giggle. You videos and projects are delightful. Can't wait for the moth video!

[@calvoekleiden8664]

Sometimes instead of sewing button holes I just add buttons and some snaps 💀 This video is inspiring me to try to sew a dress because lately I’ve just been practicing my tailoring on already finished items

[@mckennazaugg9503]

Thank you again for an amazing video! Please don’t stop making tree-related content (or your other content - that’s good stuff too)!

[@spanglerarlingtonbrugh8811]

The transitions the editing! I’m only halfway through the video rn but I’m stunned by how much effort you put into your content! You’re rlly inspiring keep it up! EDIT: just finished the reveal IT LOOKS STUNNING

[@Willis-k1p]

Props to your ongoing tree quest and the amazing leaps and bounds you've made with your cinematography over the years. Always a pleasure to see your creativity!

[@irenei4736]

10:44 a tip for turning really skinny straps inside out : make a really small cut or hole in One of the ends of the strap and thread a metal hairpin through It , you insert the open part of the hairpin inside the tube and let the close part drag the fabric . it's skinny enought to do the job of the usual safety pin even if you sacrifice a bit of lenght.

[@irenei4736]

They are also more solid so it's easier for long straps and doesn't open and poke you

[@villainousthoughts]

I tend to favor the inside out piping trick where you have a cord running the full length of the cord with the end very securely sewn, and then wiggle it out. This also helps me keep the cord the same size as I either keep it along the edge of the sewing foot or use a zipper foot, I used to hate making straps so much

[@irenei4736]

Yeah i know of It but obviusly it's a thing you have to Plan for ahead of sewing and i forget usually. im so caotic . Also bums me out to waste a lenght of thread .i also hate doing straps,but it's more because i never manage to iron them straight they always look so lumpy

[@Acat_143]

Your style is amazing and your design is ✨BeAuTiFul✨

[@kaitlynroberts5027]

Fam if you ever wanna have bulk stash of buttons check your local antique stores! I found a jar full of buttons of various sizes for like $22 and they had like 3 more jars around the store. I don't think i will have to purchase buttons again for like 5 years minimum.

[@PricklyAlpaca]

That's an excellent idea! I'm sick of paying like 7 dollars for a few pieces of plastic

[@Betsyschugar]

The only thing I don’t like about finding buttons about that is when you need like twelve of the same button bc the antique buttons I can find have a maximum of three that look even remotely similar 😅

[@exoticplushbean7188]

I think my favorite episode of Psych would have to be Office Space.

[@ReAnna3rd]

Good job on the dress. I've been rewatching Psych too and my fav episode is the one from season 4 with the killer shark and every one keeps calling lassie "Detective Dipstick". Top tier entertainment.

[@MusicWisp]

I KNOW YOU KNOW IM NOT TELLING THE TRUTH

[@berryjunmill9029]

watching this video while having a picnic in the park on earth day. I feel at peace

[@feliciedidier6515]

As a goblin sewist the press was a released for my soul. Thank you. That dress is lovely 🌿

[@poisonedsodapop]

Super cute as always! I think you're well on your way to overtake those trees.

[@c0ldlight1]

This came out so super cute! And now that you have those patterns you can make them in a bunch of different fabrics. I think that you have just leveled up in tree! Soon you will be a tree master 😀

[@hungrylikealoup]

It turned out so good! The seams especially looked really great :D Great job on the french seams! Luna moth dress lets gooooooooooo It's been so long since I've watched Psych that I'm having a hard time recalling my favorite episodes :< The episodes "Forget Me Not" "Tuesday the 17th" "Shawn Takes a Shot in the Dark" are some of my favorites (yes, I had to go and look up the names). Also, the episode with the fake T-Rex skull.

[@BrigitV618]

Kira I am SO impressed!! look at you!! using tailors chalk and fabric shears! making mock-ups! pressing seams! understitching the bodice seam allowance!! hell yeah!!!!!! I've been sewing for a decade now and I still don't do half of those!! I'm proud of you!!! also this dress/skirt&shirt combo turned out SO CUTE and now I want to make one too

[@cheesyjanine1545]

„Joyn me for some sewing chaos“ she said before showing us the most straight forward seeing montage I have ever seen.

[@Miztivin]

Lovely to see you level up in sewing and craft a daily wearable peice you are comfortable in. Thats great!

[@millsarrington6195]

I friggin LOVE Psych. My fav ep is Shawn Takes a Shot in the Dark because I love when comedic characters get serious. Anyway that fabric is adorable and very vibes

[@Wiz1800]

Absolutely stunning!! Hope anyone reading this has a nice day :)

[@mariajosedelatorre4197]

Dear Kiera, your videos have quickly become my favorites to watch. I love the work that you do so much, I love the art, the garments, the props, the executive producer, the way your personality shines through the videos in a raw yet hilarious manner, and to top it all off I just think you are very beautiful. Your art inspires me every day to create, and when I am about to leave my butterfly hair clips at home, I remember that out there, there is a girl at the Walmart walking around in a cloak made out leaves, so I rush back and stick them right on. Thank you so much for sharing your art with the world, you have gifted me so many laughs and so much inspiration. P.S. This video was great, but man I did miss the The Last of Us review.

[@secretly7bees]

the results are amaaaazing!!! it looks so good on you and so clean! for fantasy nonsense, maybe some leaf/tree/stick inspired jewellery? including rings, bracelets, earrings, a headpiece/tiara of some sort? even if you never make it I feel like that'd be fun to design!

[@dmitra9457]

All your work is awesome, but you look stunning in this little dress thing! Keep up the good work!

[@milliedevua6582]

That was the most amazing sponsor transition I’ve ever seen. The dress was absolutely amazing keep up your amazing work you literally inspire me so much!❤️

[@leisureletter2051]

My favorite episode of Psych is 100 Clues. It’s classic and the appearance of Steve Valentine is top notch. Love it. Now I gotta watch it, lol. A close second is The Greatest Adventure in the History of Cable. Excellent writing, the twists and the turns never stop and it’s just so good. I’m always down for a good treasure hunt with the dash of psych humor. The dress turned out super gorgeous. Might have to look into those patterns you mentioned.

[@lillight3301]

your videos always comes at an amazing time! been doing a massive house clean up and was glad to see your video, i was wondering how much involve executive producer was going to be this episode (they deserve the best cuddles) the dress is always amazing.

[@Finny_Finny]

I recently made a cute little elf outfit, I usually wear kinda alternative/punk/streetwear style clothes, pretty much my whole wardrobe is black and red. But these videos… all of these fairycore, goblincore, cottagecore ALL THE CUTE THINGS… I love my elf outfit more than anything and I want to dress like an elf all the time. All because I’m obsessed with these videos. I can’t decide if I’m grateful or salty.

[@stephaniecarbno]

You're sewing keeps getting better and better. I love this two piece dress set. super cute!

[@alexloser475]

You are doing so amazing! And watching your growth in sewing is so inspiring for a baby beginner like me. Love the dress and you look so cute! 🌱

[@JoeLGough77]

You did an amazing job! Just a quick tip your button hole stitch feature still works and works well even without the foot. You just have to mark the opening size and go slow. Still practice using your button hole foot, you'll slap yourself at how simple it really it is and how much we complicate it.

[@cutekitten4395]

I'd really love a video where you show off outfits in your wardrobe kinda like Beepworld or Rachel Maksey does where you just style a bunch of outfits, or just a video showing off the clothes in your closet would also bee really cool.

[@the_lonely_nerd5623]

This design is absolutely amazing! Since it's spring, maybe for a future project, you could base a character design on your favorite flower or something like that? Keep up the gorgeous work!!❤

[@CraftsandCasts]

You had me at knife mic 💚 🤣 excellent sponsor transition, beautiful dress and 10/10 content quality!!! Thank you for the video, brb gotta go find sheets.

[@topopurrito5397]

Girl making me have tree envy as well

[@ChantelleArts]

“and speaking of waste, it’s time to cut the waist…band” this was so smooth haha 😂

[@floralspectre]

exactly this 😂

[@Sovereign_Toadstool]

Loved the premier chat, it was a whole vibe honestly, and I love the dress!

[@PolyvoreThea]

Separates are a great idea! This worked very well and looks great!

[@a_Hooded_Figure]

The dress turned out sooo stinking cute! Gives me big female Link vibes with the green head scarf for some reason. ❤

[@sarahtaylor4264]

Beautiful dress. I happened to watch this while my maple leaf and floral dress Ibgot from Salvation Army over the last Summer.

[@Yogabbagabba24]

I just love your creations they always turn out amazing. ALSO you looked so pretty in the end. I can confirm you did not look weird with something on your head🫡

[@beebedoe]

the mockup made me feel so proud and also like I should make try to make mock-ups

[@MoonMelody777]

The sketches in the begening are so cute!!!

[@ashleybryie5817]

I laughed out loud with that ad “Segway/segue” and pun. It was goooooood!

[@theartieclown3944]

The tree dress is beautiful on you dear 10/10 best in the city🍀🪴🍀🍀🪴🪴🪴🪴

[@ninvic0]

girl this is so pretty!!! its amazing how much better you've gotten at sewing. i love your videos and learning through you!

[@sewthernbelle]

Trying to choose a favorite Psych episode is like trying to pick a favorite child. I can’t just pick one! Meanwhile have you ever tried hand sewing buttonholes? I know it’d take longer but it might give you more control. 99!

[@ruiqing7]

all the reveals in your videos feel so whimsical

[@kuumyi]

Awww the dress looks adorable 🥹🥹

[@a_Hooded_Figure]

That 'squarespace' bridge. Didn't see that coming. Did make me snigger. 5/7 chef's kiss

[@lyssabug2887]

Can I just say 7:18 was a fantastic pun/transition I gasped

[@Moss_The_Mop]

1. Gorgeous dress, 2. LUNA MOTH DRESS AAAAAAAAAA

[@Mintshake_bunny]

What a smooth landing into the sponsor segment, you totally got me!! xD

[@thecozyfeather]

The outfit is so cuuuuuute!!! ❤❤ I love how it turned out!

[@tessaflores5466]

Love the little extra buttons on the sleeves💛

[@shadowcat6832]

Omg it looks absolutely amazing! And you definitely rocked the head covering thingy!

[@cobalt.studios]

Perfect video for earth day

[@anacarolingia]

10:19 OMG I LOVE LUNA MOTHS IM GONNA ABSOLUTELY EAT THIS UPP

[@mossman397]

Inspiring and vibes beyond mortal compare Keep making the AMAZING clothing and loving trees❤

[@henryhoorray]

ur videos make it easier to get up every morning, thank u

[@spaghettibete4286]

YESS the dress turned out so pretty!! what a vibe and it really does seem just like a really cute, wearable item, which is certainly sometimes preferred to other fantasy nonsense things because ✨practicality ✨Now I have the almost overwhelming urge to make a pretty spring dress oh no Also I don't remember many of the Psych episodes because I have bad memory but I remember this one where Shawn got shot and kidnapped and he just kept having flashbacks of when his dad was telling him how to get out of kidnapping situations :') I think at some point he was tied to a chair or something and he was just totally nonchalantly chatting with his captors

[@apsinthosarts2707]

PSYCH!!!!!! i totally agree I love the episode with Wesley!

[@ky7648]

All your creations are so wonderful and inspiring!!! I feel connected to the chaotic energy XDDD, hoping to make some cool stuff like you! The fantasy aspect to everything is absolutely amazing literally my new fave channel xoxo💚

[@alexmonstrous]

Can I just say - the editing on this video & music choices were just as amazing as the dress!!!! I loveddd the hype punk montage!!!! Your editing just keeps improving ❤️‍🩹 good luck with every project going forward!

[@paigekennedy-gl6kw]

this has got to be one of my favorite things you have made

[@tashacano3324]

Sewing skill lvl up! The finished pieces look great! I've always deeply loved trees. Live Oak trees are my very favorite ❤

[@watermelon_dragon]

It looks really good. Million high fives for a good sewing 👏👏👏👏 also can't wait to see the next video now 👀👀👀👀 also I wish you created a garment inspired by wild violets 😁😁

[@wafflecone-w5d]

That segway made me snort my tea 😆

[@paper_bag_pancake]

the editing is cracking me up, great job lol

[@PumpkinSpikey]

You killed it. This set looks amazing! Little loopy ties like that are the worst I'm sorry for the hour of your life you'll never get back. However I have good news. They make a tool especially for that so that you can turn it right side out quickly. If you don't want to buy one you can also DIY it. withwendy has a video where she explains the trick. I'm not gonna lie I can't remember which video it's in. Probably her strawberry dress video. She has lots of helpful sewing information in all her videos so hopefully you can find something useful. She's even made bags, which how I first found her.

[@katoahirou8151]

Oh my gosh, I love the dress

[@gabriellem9161]

I gasped at how flattering the boddice is, damn i need that 😭😭🤲

[@PricklyAlpaca]

Daria's pattern is so nice! I've made two bodices with it so far, highly recommend!!

[@KidsMuldoon]

GOOD GOD THAT IS *ADORABLE*!!!

[@HamiltonIsLife]

You’re literally so cool :) I love your videos, you and Micarah have gotten me into sewing :) I’m tryna make a Bridgeton dress rn :)

[@gorejess915]

My favorite episode of Psych is any episode where Shawn and Gus run and scream like little girls. Have to edit this just to say, luna moth themed project coming out?! So excited!!! This outfit came out amazing btw!! You made the hair scarf work for you!

[@artharpy5003]

Perfect ad transition

[@Egg_thing]

I've always been really into sewing and costume making but way too intimidated by it and worried about it not turning out perfect and your content has actually inspired me to just start and I love it. So thanks for that, keep making awesome stuff

[@PricklyAlpaca]

That's exactly what I did, and I've made a lot of ~mid~ stuff along the way, but it's all a learning experience and it's super rewarding to watch yourself improve over time! ✨ Go for it, it's so much fun!

[@jacquelinelmiller]

Oh I love your videos!! This is such a quality show! Also, very pretty dress.

[@gail2428]

thank you for that squarespace joke lol, I needed that today

[@xoKatMarie]

The dress is so cute!! 😍😍 I just started (another) Psych rewatch too!! However, it’s impossible for me to choose a favorite episode. lol

[@sophiawilliams5494]

Have you considered a loop turner? They sell long thin metal ones at hobby lobby, highly recommend for those pesky straps and ties

[@OriginallyAcrylicWolf]

i love it. its literally so pretty

[@gudezan419]

Psych is the best show to ever be made 🍍

[@persephone-vibes]

1:23 the other day i posted a fit check with a bandana and someone said its giving babushka so i feel you

[@sineadoneill5635]

Absolutely gorgeous!

[@BeansOfStarlight]

I'm about as excited for your next video as a moth is when they find a lamp.

[@bea1898]

so proud. it looks soo professional ✨😍

[@topopurrito5397]

I will agree that those 2 Psych episodes are some of the best. Cant think of my favorite off the top of my head though oof.

[@ajc7295]

Turned out awesome!
