Hi friends! If, like me, you want to be more sustainable and sew your own clothes, have I got a video for you! Ok if we're being honest, this video is chaos BUT these were some of the easiest things to make and I had fun making them (mostly ahem **stares at dress with side eye**)
I totally forgot to put the pattern numbers up on screen so here they are!
Dress bodice that I traced:
1950s Atanta Constitution Pattern Department pattern number 4628
Skirt: 1980s Simplicity 6035
OG dress pattern I'd wanted to use: Butterick 3227 from 1985
Skirt: No pattern, hah!
Bodice: Simplicity Reniassance Costume 6582
Happy Sewing!

The way the baby looks at you just melts my heart. You’re clearly a hero. ❤️

[@Marilyn473ify]

Yes, sooo sweet how he smiles while he looks in his moms face ❤

[@thejaneymac6385]

I love to see other people’s cats causing chaos during sewing 😂😂 my two love biting the thread 😂😂

[@WithLoveKristina]

Our kitten is THE WORST when I’m sewing 😂😂😂 she once jumped into my ironing board and knocked the entire thing over including the iron which was on 😒😂 lucky for her I was right there and we have wood floors so nothing was burned but OH MY GOSH CAT

[@theclumsyprepper]

You should see my dogs. My girl is trying to stick her nose under the sewing machine arm when I'm sewing. I have to be really careful so she won't get hurt by the needle but, at the same time I find it so funny. Obviously, I can't leave anything unattended or herself and her brother will have the fabric and thread ripped to shreds. Shredding things is their favourite thing to do. My cats definitely don't cause that much trouble.

[@Robine-n1v]

What a wonderful, romantic and very feminine style. I also like your adorable deer makeup, its so beautiful ❤

[@waterloobicycleworks]

“That candle is over-performing.” 😂😂

[@norahdelagarza775]

Amazed at how so many mistakes turned your dress into such a beautiful piece of art. It's my favorite but I also like the reversible vest. 💋

[@StephanieCanada]

I love how they all came out and the kitty cat “helper” was precious. Proud of you for getting through all these pieces.

[@WithLoveKristina]

The kitty helper is the worst LOL.

[@baxleylady1944]

Going to pretend like I wasn’t stalking your channel for a new video and saw this one 14 minutes after you posted 😂 Always so fun and encouraging to watch you and come along on the journeys in your home 🥰❤️

[@tateshevchenko6584]

So true❤

[@deenawatts3257]

I love Bernadette Banner. She's amazing. You are as well. I too am a chaos sewer. My sewing machine died so I haven't made anything in a good while. Your outfits are wonderful.

[@vivianbunch1963]

Your dresses turned out super cute. Well done!

[@k1886-o6x]

"That candle is overperforming" Oh I laughed so much! I can't sew... ok well I can sew a button on....I need to learn. Thank you dear. Once again you made me smile.

[@bravehearticus]

The patchwork skirt is gorgeous! Lovely fabric combinations

[@mjgobet5601]

Great save on the skirt portion of the dress. It happens to al of us. Small hint for your vest/bodice. I make these all the time for the past 30+ years. If you make a small channel between the button holes and the edge of the vest, then you can slide one zip-tie in there. Then when you lace up the vest it won't scrunch down and the lacings will hold better. Don't put it behind the buttonhole, that defeats the purpose, you have to put it at the edge before the button holes. Yes a larger or more bulky ribbon would look best with it.

[@christined4842]

That’s a great tip

[@ladyjusticesusan]

Sewing for 50+ years here and that is a tip I’ve used for most of my life. Works a charm to keep everything from wrinkling, pulling, and sliding to where you don’t want it. Zip ties have a great use in sewing, a much less expensive and less intimidating option than saying “use a boning channel”. It’s the same thing but for some reason my beginner students take to it a lot easier than discussing boning which they tend to think of as complicated corsetry.

[@robynhansen8775]

Well Kristina I'm a sewer I've been sewing since I was young I taught myself , you certainly did not make mistakes you wing it as you go❤😂and did a fabulous job😊

[@junekessinger3193]

I know it seems counterintuitive, but when you hem with the machine…turn the fabric under and sew on the right side. It is so much easier. I sewed for years, made every stitch I wore.

[@erikawoods8975]

The skirt is my favorite, I was skeptical, but it turned out great!

[@angelcastro3129]

The baby is Adorable! He is he spit of his father. Love your content dearie. Peace Love and Blessings to you and yours

[@marytwiggs7473]

Oooh, the ✨twirlability✨ of that skirt!!

[@keepingupwithkelsey2980]

The mistakes make this so relatable and the end product turned out so beautiful. You rock!

[@ammoannie]

You amaze me with your talent and time management, I cannot seem to get anything made. Good Job!

[@winterbunnyx]

I love the last one you look like a younger prettier version of Mary Sanderson from Hocus pocus

[@motherhemcreation]

im drooling over that skirt and want one. My health has been hell and I havent sewn in over a year and miss it so baaad.

[@GM-yn9nc]

❤❤❤wow so many beautiful dresses!!! love the backdrop of the old barn. Amazing!!!

[@deborahscott2634]

Really like what you made. The paneled shirt sooo cute. ❤

[@LadyWiggin]

The skirt was genius! Loved the different fabrics. So cute

[@ladyjusticesusan]

Kitty content is what we all needed to see. I hope you’re as happy with your results as we are to see your new clothing. Beautiful.

[@blumblam4813]

Love all these things! You made them so quickly - and what an eye you have to have eye balled so much of it - pattern Co-ordination is also beautiful! You have inspired me to take that part made dress out and finish it off! Thank you! Beautiful aesthetic too! Xxx

[@nonakabyrd5759]

I'd make a holiday apron with pumpkin table cloth

[@hawthorngrove3629]

They look fantastic, my favourite is the super cute panelled skirt

[@marionbartley214]

Congratulations on sewing your outfits, they turned out very nice considering all the struggles you had. Your baby looks cute in this video he or she is listening to you as you speak. Looking forward to the next video.

[@tabbycatcreates]

The skirt came out really fun; it looks so cute with the vest

[@rockzombie29]

You’re so talented! Everything turned out amazing!

[@MarahHulse]

That panel skirt is so so so cute!

Looks awesome. Great job. 😊

[@merrilynblackmore6962]

You did a beautiful job. I love that you did your own thing.

[@maggytrafford3969]

Hello Kristina! You are a very clever lady, I loved what you made and suits you beautiful. Thank you for sharing 🇦🇺🦘🌷🐈

[@finickityreader5274]

Just signed up for Skillshare with your code. It's just the prompt I needed to start learning to film my own sewing. 🙂

[@WithLoveKristina]

I have so many classes to go through! I am so glad you're gonna learn through them, I REALLY love how they're set up!

[@sherriebulechek8353]

I’m so impressed you made all that in a weekend! I couldn’t make that skirt in a month! All of them are beautiful

[@BeverleyButterfly]

You need to teach your eyeballing skills on skillshare

[@kariking7361]

All your pieces turned out so cute!❤ Lovely work! Makes me want to learn to sew. 🥰

[@tigermiep]

the kitten is ready to help!

[@bmonoire5231]

Energy and way you talk reminds me of Clara from The Guild😂 🤣love!

[@biblicalgarden]

Love your videos, your style and subjects. It was fun to see you outside - and the rain! I grew up in Seattle. I may be inspired to get into my fabric stash now, thank you!

[@christined4842]

It would make pretty wallpaper

[@RLiberty94]

I absolutely love all your videos! I've been just binging channel the last few days after getting back from a trip and I'm so jet-lagged. You seem like such an amazing person. I feel like if we knew each other in person, we'd totally be friends! I pray that God blesses your channel, as well as you and your beautiful family!❤ Thank you for making beautiful and authentic content and never stop being you.

Love the first dress very pretty all of them are cute.

Those dresses are Stunning!!!

I'm obsessed with the strawberry jar holding your buttons. How cute!

[@susanpoindexter1635]

Nice. I'd love to see you model the finished results

[@rixsmeden]

Real life sewing! This is what to learn from

[@kariconant3488]

Really nice result on all three items.

[@kristinaNC]

Cute projects! I'm catching up on your older videos. 🍓

[@saundraweed9738]

Love the finished product. You look lovely.

[@elizabethlauricella7176]

You are sooo creative. These outfits are all fabulous. Is there a dress designer future in your pocket?!? And love those flip over pockets w button. You look beautiful.

[@tgailw1982]

That skirt! 🤯

[@youme-iq1sh]

I love that you cut your notches OUT ward. My mom was lucky enough to live in Germany while my Dad was in service. He bought her a Pfaff machine and she got free sewing lessons at the Pfaff warehouse! Can you imagine?? She instilled all those professional tidbits with me and one was to sew notches outward.

[@christined4842]

Pfaff are the best machines. Everyone cuts there notches outward. You couldn’t cut them inward they would go through your seam. Am I missing something??

[@youme-iq1sh]

@@christined4842 I've seen many many sewists cut a notch inward. Or just a little snip. I would be lost with those, very few seem to cut those notches outward so I loved seeing it.

[@christined4842]

@@youme-iq1sh that’s crazy. I would think it would like go through their seam. I was always taught outwards too

[@adbreon]

I snip or use awl holes and I thread mark. It’s the difference between commercial and home sewing. If you watch a lot of production sewists, they are more likely to use the commercial methods.

[@TheFeralFarmgirl]

I love the bodice and the patchwork circle skirt! That's my style. I just wish I had more some fall themed fabrics to make my own.

[@CatLoverX74]

I’ll admit I thought the pumpkin fabric was gonna be too bold but it turned out lovely 😍 Everything turned out beautiful ❤

[@WithLoveKristina]

Lol it was definitely a “trust the process” moment 😂

[@elizabethlauricella7176]

Love seeing your precious baby boy!!

[@SimplyJeannie]

You and Your Family are so freaking stinking cute.. Love your videos and even my almost 4 year old was enthralled with what you were doing. ~Jeannie PS: That Gourd Mug.. LOL Had me laughing.... love it!

[@carlajenkins1990]

Color Me Beautiful. Some of us look our best in white, and I look best in ivory. My sister looks like she has hepatitis--even her eyeballs turn yellow.

[@Needledownquilting]

Awesome video! Love the outfits, specially the first dress, i need to find that pattern. I also love the fact that in all your videos you are so genuine. you are a inspiration. !

[@Sabatuar]

Oof, I feel your pain. I'm currently working on this cute 30s jacket out of black cotton velveteen. Cut out three back right panels.

[@WithLoveKristina]

Oh nooooo 😂😂😂 I hope you were able to fix it!

[@MrsBrit1]

The scarecrow skirt is just the cutest fall piece ever! 😍

Good job! I really like the vest best. Last time I sewed something was probably 30 or so years ago. So my machine is like brand new. Not sure I remember how to thread it properly! 😅

❤ amazing the dress looks stunning 😍 You always look so beautiful I love your style xx

[@tateshevchenko6584]

Great work❤❤❤ I like your new handmade clothing soo much

[@Dingle1234]

Absolutely gorgeous, a real success! It helps to have the classic hourglass. Have you thought of little leather laces? Unexpected, but it could be quite nice. You seem to be the type that looks good in any colour, so surprised the orange one was my favourite.

[@WithLoveKristina]

Leather laces is a great idea! And I don't have an hourglass figure, I just tend to proportion myself that way ;) I'm a pear/spoon shape in the world of "what's your actual body type".

[@thetimelesscostumemaker1266]

I love how all your pieces turned out. It hs given me such inspiration for my own fall wardrobe. Also, for my daughter who is learning to sew. She loves the skirt and now wants to try making one.

[@krism.9363]

My favorites are the first dress & the scarecrow-chic skirt. That skirt is gorgeous! I especially like the colorful pumpkin fabric. Great job! (I also love seeing your adorable cat in these videos. ❤🐈❤)

[@barbaraweber3084]

Love that "nuisance" kitty! Your newest baby is adorable too.

[@paulharris6074]

This is nina. I love the skirt n all you made. I need to make me some dresses cause store dresses do not fit me right. I'm not good at sewing these days

[@motherhemcreation]

It's all your fault! lol. I went to my favorite quilting shop that sells high quality cottons that actually work well for clothing(If you know, you know). and picked up some fall and Halloween prints to make a paneled circle skirt! You actually JUST may be the kick in the butt I needed to get my depression cleanup done enough to clear my kitchen table and cutting table to sew this before halloween XD

[@WithLoveKristina]

Oh my gosh exciting about the skirt! And I feel you on the depression cleanup, I’m going through that myself ❤️

[@motherhemcreation]

@@WithLoveKristina i have the two half skirts made just need to choose what waistband shape i want to make and draft pockets
