I made a PINE TREE dress 🌲 (because I have tree envy)

thank you!!

So I randomly hit this video while I had it on in the background, and up until the clips I thought you were talking about the show, “this is us” and I was wildly confused when Pedro pascal showed up 🤣

[@nerdytatertot]

Kira's gender envy of forests has evolved, and she has transitioned. I'm so proud of how far you've come as accepting yourself for who you are: a tree.

[@Maringuely]

Im so happy for her I was really rooting for her!

[@bluealex6370]

So nice to see this kind of representation, it's so rare nowadays

[@squish154]

Too bad I can't sew. Plus, I don't know if there's a way to make something so tree without a skirt.

[@Motsham]

@@Maringuely I see what you did there.

[@justrachel4496]

@@squish154 You could try closely fitted pants in tree trunk color with a puffy leaf colored top. It wouldn't look like an evergreen but you could look like another kind of tree

[@avocadoartist1145]

I love how Kira is slowly turning into an elf with each video

[@Pearl1010]

Her ears are growing pointier in every video

[@WSchmidt09]

The executive producer making an extended appearance: we love to see it. Also, shoutout to the Tolkien Bestiary, whose illustrator went way harder than they needed to and made that book so memorable. You did and incredible job and the dress looks incredible, especially in concert with the corset!

[@PricklyAlpaca]

Thank you so much Willis 💕 And ikr! I love my Tolkien dictionary 🥰

[@bectip2229]

camera focusing on the trees and not on Kira while she explains her idea for the dress gotta be the funniest unintentional bit ive seen this week

[@kelstitch]

Ah trees, in the form of a dress it’s a recipe for the perfect camouflage. Works even better to confuse travellers of the woods they’re imagining a formal tree nymph in their fleeting sights. I’d honestly be all in on a nature dress series accompanied by Hozier, since a lot of his music has some lowkey get lost in the woods vibe. Well done on this evergreen garment Kira! 💚

[@PricklyAlpaca]

God you're so right I wanna die listening to Hozier

[@kelstitch]

@@PricklyAlpaca you and me both 🤜🏻

[@claracatlady9844]

I’m just living vicariously through Kira becoming some weird fantastical tree/elf/fairy/forest creature/witch/pile of leafs P.s. yeah grain line and bias *very VERY IMPORTANT* for any kind of fitted garment especially bodices

[@red_7282]

living for the nature vibes and the pure chaos the executive producer ensues❤

[@marveludus]

You know what'd look sick with this? tons of chains and necklaces and earrings shaped like Pine cones. Tree inspired jewelry video when? (also I would like to run through a forest while wearing something like this, please. Germany has great forests to frolic in)

[@PricklyAlpaca]

SUCH A GOOD IDEA!! I was gonna try to make a lil tree belt to go with this but ran out of time 😭

[@rainy_day9]

Using the knife as a microphone is honestly a mood

[@c0balt.shrimp878]

Pine trees becomes more of a Broccoli shale as ages; but Fir's, Spruce's and Araucaria's has the classic shape of Christmas tree more. Our teacher at uni always says to us that dont say Pine to every needle leaf tree, as you cant say Grandfather to every bearded person 💀

[@alsprout]

I’m thinking of making a skirt like yours on my own (without the ruffles) BECAUSE IT LOOKS SO DARN WHIMSICAL AND SWOOSHY. I NEED TO GO AROUND IN TOWN WITH A SKIRT LIKE THAT

[@PricklyAlpaca]

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND MAKING ONE!! just make sure to get way more fabric than you think you need bc the ruffles are some long bois

[@Siennaflower]

That green is so pretty! I love how you mixed the different fabrics together. No matter how many mistakes you make on projects, your artistic flair always shows through and wins the day!! ❤

[@stephaniecarbno]

I Love how it turned out! You could turn this into a Christmas dress at Christmas time. Just add some tinsel garland and wear a star in your hair and be a Christmas tree! :)

[@plushy9067]

I love how incredibly talented and chaotic you are^^. I now want to run into a forest and be one with nature. In a little gremlin way.

[@hiiiiiiiiiiiii-e7c]

you should make the executive producer an acorn costume... and then you two would be matching XD

[@casperlundquist772]

My mom watches your videos with me and is worried you are gonna poke your eye with the sword mic stand. Anyways I'm happy we get more fantasy nonsense

[@LeeannCarver-ll2ej]

I’ve been feeling especially crappy lately and binging your videos is one of the only things that makes me feel content. Thank you for what you do. When I watch your videos it feels almost like I have a friend.

[@nikki3879]

One day I fully expect a video titled "I planted myself and am now a tree". You're evolving like a Pokémon and I fully expect an actual tree to be your final form.

My machine pedal broke at the wrong time with all of these inspirational clothing videos coming out 😭

[@chadbassig9801]

This is brilliant work, as always! 🖤🖤🖤 Side track : Seeing how Executive Producer messed the last layer of skirt reminded me of a boss I had centuries ago : cute but would really challenge your patience (or the lack of it, in my case)

[@palindromek682]

Loved watching you make this. Also loved the subtitles saying 'boosties' every time you said 'bustier'.

[@serena7710]

The editing of this video- chefs kiss immaculate so funny a gift truly

[@anna_in_aotearoa3166]

IKR?! I was really enjoying the slightly chaotic hut very aesthetic cinematography in this episode!

[@maike__-]

Thank you for blessing us with two huge videos so close together but please don't forget to get some rest. The dress turned out beautifully and the wood bark corset on top of that was just 😙👌 That's it okay bye 😂❤

[@yazpis1achio]

You ca"n use that lining trick to make a nice outside edge. I cut the lining about 2" wider on the front edges (I was making a cloak). Then, when I turned it right side out & pressed the seam, I had a nice grey trim on the center front. It can go both ways - trim on the outside or a good "you think you're gonna roll to the outdide? Ha!* on the lining.

[@kiwiseed7563]

the shade of green you chose is my fave color, and making a dress from it!! gorgeous

[@meaganblack1529]

Deaf character for the win! I am aware that Deaf/signing characters are very very hard for video games to include (because: animation), and I love that they brought that in now that it is being acted by human people.

[@nicolesvariouswares]

I don’t speak sewing so I have no idea what you’re talking about but it’s still so enjoyable to watch

[@chokoretousagi245]

KIRA THIS IS AMAZING 😭 omg and it's EVERYTHING with the tree bark corset 😩💗

[@c0ldlight1]

This came out so beautifully! Goodness it's gorgeous. Get yourself a ruffle foot for your machine so the next time you want to make a magical ruffled dress you don't have to deal with yards and yards of gathers.

[@michalalala]

Random comment but your TV home screen will forever remind me of my orthodontist. Also I love the dress :3

[@maj7068]

Hi michael

[@toadgoblin7035]

i too , envy the trees

[@SharmClucas]

Okay, this absolutely needs wings. It's so fairycore! Ugh, it turned out so cute.

[@Mintshake_bunny]

Not me googling trees because my little brain was confused over the definition of pine tree in comparison to what to my eyes looked a lot like spruce in the reference pictures... Aaanyway, a fantastic dress you made there~!! I live for the reveal shots every single time you make something ♥

[@anna_in_aotearoa3166]

As a lifelong tree-hugger myself with an incurable addiction to big swooshy skirts, I am SOOOO going to take sewing inspiration from this awesome project!! 🌲Loved the creative videography & editing in this one, and all the executive purrducer bonus content! 🥰

my addiction to your videos was very pleased for having a 30 minutes long video as a SECOND one this week, thanks

[@rolypolyragbear0]

this is so sick, the color is actually so beautiful

[@amiyasatoART]

not gonna lie, you have me eyeballing the sewing machine that is put away in the garage. watching you bring these dresses to life definitely has been tempting, and i just might cave.

[@faydreamsmystic4]

Turned out amazing. Tip for those ruffles for next time. Gather them sections and not on one length of thread. Less snapping next time.

[@PricklyAlpaca]

I did gather them in sections 😭 Maybe my sections were too big? The thread I was using was pretty crappy with the heavier weight fabrics so that was probably part of it

[@snoopysoudaly1691]

This has gotta be my FAVORITE of every dress you've made so far. Its my favorite color, its covered in ruffles, and THE TIERS>?>? Incredible! I love everything about it.

[@hollyerin897]

[@brinagotsued]

Sewing is a journey, one learns so much along the way. And you did a great job implementing your new knowledge 👏

[@graythegoth]

i think i need you to create an entire closet for me because your skills are amazing and your designs are impeccable

[@poisonedsodapop]

Every time you do boning and use the sound clip of Holt saying bone it cracks me up cause I'm literally thinking the same thing. This turned out fantastic and as someone who knows the bare minimum about sewing I love seeing your skill improve as you keep making these amazing pieces!

[@eocsot3088]

I love Kira's skatterbrain editing style it pleases in my gremlin brain very nicely

[@heyits_cat8966]

Binge watcing these bc i have to make/find a dress to alter to get a gala dress for a murder mystery game night, in 2 DAYS. urgh!! If its gonna be fancy dress code tell us ahead of time! And of course, I have to be extra. Lets hope I find something while thrifting 😭

Goshhh your sewing videos make me so excited about finishing school so i have the free time to make projects like this! I wanna live my fantasy life 😂😂

[@philurbaniak1811]

👍👍I love this 🌲🌲🌲! Great to see you branching out 😁

[@thecraftycreator295]

This turned out so cool! The green paired with your tree bark corset looks stunning. I have to say though, It would be pretty lit to somehow attach string lights and then you can be a glamorous Christmas tree. Or just a whimsical glowy wood nymph, whatever strikes your fancy.

[@afroborilafemme]

There is a glimpse of perfection in flaws and this is absolutely perfect, my dear. ❤🌲 Tree might be my favorite evolution yet.

[@the_reclusive_dragon]

Love these sleeves and the idea of detached sleeves in general! Yes screw sports bra cups!!! This is so beautiful!

[@labyinthoiospotnia]

i greatly enjoy the whimsy of your sewing videos. a ruffle-helping tip: grab a really thin ribbon (1/8") or a cord, lay it against the very top of the fabric you're going to ruffle, and run a wide zig-zag stitch over the cord/ribbon, not catching it. then, after, you can pull the cord/ribbon to the length that you want the ruffle to be and it's so much easier than gathering using a gathering stitch and like 0% chance of the gathering thread breaking because there isn't really one.

[@hungrylikealoup]

I still can't believe I was correct in guessing this project on instagram. Also, the early morning B-roll is absolutely *chefs kiss* IT TURNED OUT SO GOOOOOOOD. Altogether it looks like a fantastical ballgown. And paired with the tree trunk corset aaaaaahhhh

[@katierose6424]

this dress is SO GORGEOUS!! so worth the effort 😍😍 for ruffle hemming though a rolled hem foot for my machine SAVED my SANITY! no more ironing a double fold! it all just tucks away while sewing! it takes a bit of practice to get the amount of fabric needed for the roll right, but since then omg its a life saver

[@shadowcat6832]

Omg it’s absolutely gorgeous, I want something like that so bad it’s just *chefs kiss*

[@traga-um7os]

A suggestion on future ruffles. Zigzag over sturdy fishline. A trick some professionals use. I understand after gathering 20yards.

[@anbu1325]

On camera the greens go perfectly together! 🌲

[@WildArtistsl]

I love trees too

[@flatpigeon9349]

I live in Oregon. So many pine trees and fir trees. It's an evergreen rain forest.

[@pipermilne8736]

If I had a singular ounce of sewing ability I would make this and FROLIC and SWISH my way into an entirely new lifestyle. I'm /obsessed/ with how it turned out

[@embroi943]

Scissors cutting paper asmr was not something I thought I needed before now

[@teresasmith3022]

not the way I am utterly obsessed with the dress, the look, the vanishing into the woods and running away with the fairies energy 🌲✨✨ every time I watch one of your dress making vids I get one step closer to trying it but I'm just bad with committing to projects 🥵

[@softdrankprisoner3950]

I love this dress, it gives off a fairy or elven princess vibe

[@robinavarin3693]

As someone who goes by the name pine/pinetree, I was incredibly pleasantly surprised to see this in my recommended!

[@ciociakago8355]

I love this so much!! It makes me want to break into your house, leave some food as a payment and steal everything from your closet so that I can also become a pine tree as well or just actually make something simular and wear it as my prom dress

[@thesaviourfromheavensunwuk9639]

Nicely done the dress is beautiful

[@arz0_41]

You should make a cos play as one of your OCs

[@StargazerDragonlove]

I fall in love every video. No but honestly I love your determination to power through the hiccups and create such beautiful pieces - I can't wait until I have space to sew again so I can try a few of these (mainly the tree corset. I'm thinking birch would be beautiful to mimic!)

[@secretly7bees]

you look positively magical!! and it pairs so well with the tree corset! the spins in the circle skirt are so amazing I could watch an hour of that. The effort put in to make it extra clean and neat also paid off and it looks super professional!

[@Moonholic.]

Is it a miracle? Prickly uploading a second video?

[@hayleymar]

If you ever have a babysitting gig, wear this

[@marveludus]

Whenever I see a video of yours I am compelled to design more fantasy-nonsense clothing. Which is great considering I work on comics-! But also bad since I don't have the space, skills, or patience to make any of my designs real :')

It’s giving christmas tree in the best way, it just needs a bright red bow in the middle of the bustier to wear to a fabulous christmas festival

[@PricklyAlpaca]

Just add some fairy lights to make the perfect Christmas fit ✨

[@XxBlueEyedxX]

Hey, I love your videos so far, and I may have a trick for you and everyone else who HATES gathering because the thread always snaps. Do you know those long white strips people use to gather curtains (for all fellow Germans out there: Kräuselband, gibt es im jeden Tedox für ein paar Cent der Meter)? Well, it turns out they are also perfect for gathering tulle, organza, and any other fabric you could think of. You can sew them with your machine's largest stitch and use the cords to gather your material. Best thing: They are reusable; just seam rip it after you secure your gathers like you usually would

[@aidanb.9423]

transitions this week are FIRE we love to see it

[@Nahsaghara]

Oh goodness, that is gorgeous! Also, the Executive Producer attacking your fabric gave me war flashbacks to making a backdrop for my con booth last year, ft. all four of my cats. It was... An Ordeal. 😂😂
