If you use a spray bottle of vinegar to spritz your piece as you go it'll make the wrinkles iron out with one pass. Also makes corners and edges really sharp. It won't smell like vinegar for more than a few minutes. Also linen irons smoother if you iron it damp. Wash, let it hang til it's almost dry and iron. My grandmother taught me to iron, she supported her family ironing.

[@haleyhoudini]

I love sondeflor, but their sizing is SO much smaller than average waist measurements. I'm a 2x for skirts pretty much anywhere I go, but the sondeflor 2x measurements are about 8 inches smaller than average. I don't mind "sizing up", but even their 4x is still way undersized, and there's currently only one skirt that's even offered in 4x. But you need to have a waist that's around 37" -- for 4x! I really wish they would offer more inclusive sizing. They'd get my money in a heartbeat. Until then, I'll keep trying to get better at sewing my own skirts with quality fabrics.

[@joannehague4068]

Summer haters unite! I can't wait for autumn. I totally agree on Shein. That apron is beautiful. 😊

[@mushroomgirl7444]

i absolutely agree (with both waiting for autumn and the apron) i love autumn 🍂

[@gracie9658]

Yes, summer begone ! Autumn welcome ! 🍂

The only good things about summer is swimming and fireflies. I do love watching fireflies. The rest sucks and can be enjoyed any other time.

[@gohawks3571]

"Good job mommy, you picked the PINK one!" 😍🥰 Thanks for sharing cuteness and your sewing. I keep meaning to, and I get overwhelmed so easily. It helps watching you, even though I didn't do anything yet 😁✌️

[@MegM0221]

All I can think of is the lucky soul who someday owns this after you. Maybe handed down in the family, or someone thrilled to find it in an estate sale down the line (not a bad thing IMO). This is an heirloom. Gorgeous.

[@janecheer]

Having lots of experience of ordering cheap fast fashion stuff from China in the past, I can't help but wonder how trashy that actual shein apron must look in comparison to your masterpiece. Not only is yours sustainable and eco-friendly, but also soooo much prettier!

[@theclumsyprepper]

Shein clothes actually look good in real life, which is surprising.

[@cassandraknight8804]

Me to 😞😳

[@OAMLLMAO]

@@theclumsyprepperno they do not.

[@AA-cf4es]

​@@theclumsyprepperdon't fool yourself.

[@theclumsyprepper]

@@OAMLLMAO I see women wearing them daily and they look nice. Doesn't mean I would buy them though, I don't support fast fashion and slave labour.

[@DLBard-bv2nd]

I also believe in reusable clothing. I look through local thrift stores for cottons, linens, silks and wools to up cycle and make new things. Fabric stores are so expensive but I find great value in used items that are of quality fabrics at a fraction of the cost. It feels great knowing these items will be well loved & used. 💖

[@angies3057]

Same here. I am always on the lookout for fabrics in goodwill or amvets.

[@kiramariejack9003]

I can totally relate to not liking summer… I’d so much rather be cold and bundle up and get cozy than melt in the heat and not be able to do much about my uncomfortable sweaty state. I can’t wait for fall! 🍂

[@ShoshiPlatypus]

I so agree. So much easier to get warm when you are cold, than try to cool down when you are hot. Nothing like cuddling up on the settee with a blanket and a kitty and something nice to make with your hands.

[@lauracgc]

This is wild I was literally just seeing that shien apron in a Facebook ad and wanted to make one from scratch!!

[@arey502]

Here to say THANK YOU for calling our shein for their BS, and the project inspiration for an apron! I recently saw a TikTok “hack” to be more productive by having a uniform for chores, aka an apron.

[@merrilynblackmore6962]

Your embroidery is beautiful. It is becoming a lost art. You have so much patience with your children while being sick and trying to finish a project. I love your channel.

[@mortariana]

I would disagree with it becoming lost art. For instance, subreddit Embroidery is pretty much filled with fresh and beautiful works of art, so there's hope for it being with us for long time!

[@katie7748]

​@mortariana Go up to the average person on the street and ask them two questions. "Do you know how to embroider?" "How many people do you personally know that can embroider?" Though it is gaining popularity, thanks to the _______core trends, it is still very much a niche thing. I hope it continues to grow to the point where just about everyone and their sister can do it. Same goes for sewing, canning, raising and growing as much of your own food as possible, homeschooling, fixing things, etc.

[@mortariana]

@@katie7748 I don't want to leave my house.

[@bethknapp4935]

Omg!! I hate summer too!!! I always felt like I wasn't allowed to like fall AND winter because people hate the snow, but I loathe summer with every fiber of my being. I basically live inside my air conditioning all summer. This came out so gorgeous!!! I am really loving your content and how you are being true to yourself. Sending you love! ❤

[@WithLoveKristina]

Ugh same. I hate being hot and sticky and it’s just not fun. Give me call and winter every time!

[@cecilyerker]

I get outdoors in fall and winter all the time so much more than in the summer

[@feralnerd5]

I used to love summer, but as I've gotten older and gained more weight, I've found that hot weather has become more and more intolerable. my people evolved to live in the snow, and frankly, it's starting to show on me

[@dawnbaker9274]

"Good job, Mommy! You got a Pink one!" 😂😂😂 Too adorable! Thank you for showing your challenges. It is beautiful.

[@cecilyerker]

Exquisite! I collect vintage aprons - the quality of workmanship is staggering compared to anything you can buy today.

[@deenawatts3257]

I love the apron!! The embroidery is beautiful!

[@itsmelaura1533]

Marvelous! You are so brave and innovative! You have inspired me to be brave and make my own apron too! Hopefully mine will turn out as lovely as yours!

[@julestopper7553]

It was so lovely to see you sew patiently with your little one by your side. I think your embroidery turned out beautifully, and the true worth of a handmade heirloom apron cannot be measured. Lovely video :)

[@ShoshiPlatypus]

Wasn't it adorable, seeing her hand the pins one by one? Also the kitties "helping" - so cute! I'm afraid my 2 kitties are banned from my studio lol! Handmade heirloom stuff is the BEST. I'm really into recycling/upcycling and it's a joy to turn someone else's rubbish into a beautiful art piece, whether clothing, bags (my new venture!) or hand-made books and mixed media (what I do mostly). We need to keep the old skills like embroidery going and not let them die.

[@anne-mariewildbore3725]

Couldn’t agree with you more about Shein. I LOVE that you have your wee ones around you while you work its great to see such natural parenting can go hand in hand with getting things done and your creativity.

[@barbiedesoto7054]

I love how pleased you are with you make. It’s so beautiful and you’re really showing off the joy of making things just for yourself that will last, and that you can be proud of. About Son de Flor, I think it’s important to note that that is what clothes really cost when things are made well and workers are compensated honestly. The fast fashion brands cheat the workers all along the way from those harvesting raw materials to the garment workers. And we have such a distorted understanding now of how much clothes should cost. I love Hayley Marie’s cost breakdowns cause they show what the work of sewing costs - and of course it would be less if it were a factory- even a union one- than a personal seamstress but that’s all good to remember when we save up for or sit down to sew pieces we cherish.

[@kathleenoconnor8155]

I first saw you on a Laci Faye video. You two are so cute with your takes on life. Love what you love! I miss her and I hope she comes back to making her videos. Tell her she is greatly missed, and I hope she is safe and loved. Keep putting out these great videos about a different time. They are so calming to watch!

[@samuelwillemart1834]

You deserve all my congratulations. You have made it by yourself !!! It is not only a cloth, it is a masterpiece!!! This apron is simply wonderful!! Although I am a man, I like wearing such aprons. Once again, congratulations for your work!!

[@cecilyerker]

Men wore linen workshirts and aprons historically, you wear whatever you want! Linen is a fabulous fabric

[@ShoshiPlatypus]

@@cecilyerker In the UK, for centuries men wore working smocks made from linen - not just protective (the pleated smocking made them more waterproof too) but the style of embroidery would distinguish the trades from one another - e.g. shepherds would have different patterns from ploughmen.

[@katiearcher4475]

The ad for this apron keeps popping up for me and every time i see it im that much closer to stopping all my projects so i can make it 😂 Seeing you make it is helping scratch my brain

[@billiewallace6591]

Good morning! I really admire your artistic abilities. The apron is lovely. Please be sure to wear it often in future videos. I'm not sure, but I think you sew the way mother did. I don't understand most of what you are explaining (my bad, completely) Thank you for sharing your home and family, the pretty and the not so pretty. Thank you for being real!

[@artheaded1]

I've been drooling over that apron, it pops up constantly! I love your version of it! Your iron looks like the one my mom had, it worked from aprox 1962 - 1988. If you haven't, you may want to line the inside of the bib and pockets to protect the embroidery. SUCH BEAUTIFUL EMBROIDERY!!!

[@thatvintagehousewife1308]

Your apron looked so super cute when it was all done! And no doubt it'll last a million times longer than the ready-made one. I hope you're feeling better!

[@kiramariejack9003]

I love this so much! Amazing that you just made up your own pattern and your own embroidery. I want to make one now. You inspired me! 🍄🌾🪻

[@anwengriffiths9871]

My mom bought me the apron SHEIN ripped off from world market (she bought the apron from world market ofc not shein) a few years ago! I love mine but yours is so unique! I love it!

[@sistaholistic]

Anyone else want to watch over the garden wall & embroider beautiful things now or is it just me?

[@mermaliade6631]

It's definitely not you! It's almost time for fall anyway. Which is when Over the Garden Wall crawls out from under its pumpkin😊.

[@ruth.o_o5991]

The apron turned out so cute😍 and the timing is perfect, I just bought 2 meters of linnen for an apron, and the embroidery is such a good idea! Tip for anyone working with linnen: iron the cr*p out of the linnen super hot with steam to set the antie wrinkle stuff in the fabric, then wash it hot and iron it again super hot, before it's completely dry. Now your linnen wil wrinkel a lot les 😊

[@amberlygoff]

Look at how lovely this is! I love making aprons. I recently found your channel. I feel we have such a common aesthetic! What a delightful, positive light you bring. Congratulations on your beautiful family, what a lovely thing to see you and your adventures.

[@sarahconley-tanguay4364]

Thank you for sharing! My favorite part of the whole video, your daughter chiming in, "Good job, Mommy! You got a pink one!" I hope my daughter is one day as excited about what I do as yours is. 😊

[@ShinySarah44]

The timing of this is so funny; I have been making some chemise and decided to use left over linen to make an apron. And in the process of making it, I decided to embroider some flowers onto the pockets. It's still in progress, but makes me happy each time I look at it. The embroidery didn't take very long as I kept it very simple and just traced a rose lineart from the internet. I love that I could colour match to one of my dresses that doesn't have pockets, but it will go well with any of my other clothes in general.

[@EmeryShae]

Oh, I wish I had patience for sewing! This is so beautiful.

[@stephaniejohnson229]

It's honestly the best hobby I've ever taken up

[@katie7748]

I LOATHE tedious stuff but have been making myself learn how to do tedious things anyway. They are useful life skills that not many have these days.

[@lindaloo6951]

The apron is beautiful! You did a wonderful job! Bravo 👏

[@rosactaylor]

Agree with you. It is also environmetally friendly to make them ourselves and we can choose the materials. I am doing that now.

[@mio.giardino]

I love how you made this! The bib especially, it’s a perfect size because I’ve never understood those narrow ones that’d never cover anything.

[@Emmajen]

This video was so soothing and lovely 😊 And gorgeous apron!! I also vehemently agree about Shein. It is absolutely the worst. 😞 I refuse to buy from there, or Temu.

[@theMermaidRhonda]

I love how it turned out! Definitely FAR better than anything Shein would offer.

[@samanthagillette1483]

This looks 1000% better than anything Shein can produce and will probably last 1000x as long!

[@MillicentsElements]

This video was so relaxing and beautiful. You truly made something timeless and unique. I really love that you opened up that conversation that Shein is a bad company. I loved this video🤍 Truly Outstanding✨

[@charlenetorres1202]

Kristina: I love your sewing set up! It never dawned on me to attach a hutch to one of my sewing tables. One of my problems is our cats (4) think it is necessary to pull the pins out of my projects, chew on my measuring tapes, and drag cut materials on to the floor. Since my machines are all on flatsided tables sewing becomes a kitty holiday. Hutches are the answer! Thanks for the idea

[@efects7429]

Ĺove the tip about measuring your waste with a string and love you!! You are such a joy!!!

[@canadianhomestead5]

I love this. I need a new apron I will be adding this to my to do list this winter. I feel naked without my apron I wear one everyday all day on the farm, saves my clothes from dirt and staining.

[@memyself2589]

The apron was lovely. I appreciate you sharing it with us. And you may have paid more than you did to buy it from Shein, but yours looks better, and will last longer than Sheins. Plus, you toddler will remember 'helping' you make such a pretty, useful thing.

[@ellaknickrehm8729]

The apron is absolutely beautiful! also your little helper helping you pick out pins is so sweet :D

[@voceval1]

I absolutely love the green dress, the oh so pretty headband, and the pin on your lapel. And you're looking even more beautiful since you had the baby. Wonderful choice of material, embroidery and the best apron I've seen this season. If I could, I would want to wear an apron every possible chance. That's how much I love the look.

[@missbubu1611]

So amazing! It totally matches your green dress, they could be a set. And what a great idea to use embroidered table cloths even if just for the pockets.

[@IGaveUpEternalLifeForCoffee]

I'm not a summer girl either. I hate the heat and I'm anxiously awaiting fall and sweater weather. I'm so glad to see other's not supporting Shein. Your apron is beautiful!

You go girl!! It is fun to watch you caring for your home and family while adding a little bit of whimsy. I'm way past raising my babies who are now in their 40's and 50's, but I so remember being at your place in life and you remind me of myself 40 years ago. You are doing great and kudos to you in your successes and struggles. Enjoy these sweet days because before you know it you will be a grandma and a great grandma!!! I think you will be awesome at that, too!!!

So beautiful Kristina, thank you for showing it and talking about how you made it. I love how you raised the issue of unethical practices in fashion. Thank you for including us in your beautiful life, such a gift to be able to peek into your home and way of life. Today you kept me company while I cleaned my desk and gave myself a corner to write in. Thank you so much, and I hope you feel better quickly. PS also relate to being on a tight budget

[@seamarezai934]

The apron you made is so beautiful! The Shein ad looks like a World Market apron I bought, though a year or two ago 👀

I think it’s definitely a copy. My friend Brit also has the one from World Market! She told me after she saw me making this lol

[@dee4174]

I saw the Shein add for this an loved it. Yours is obviously better in every way. I love your little helper and her excitement when you picked a pink pin! The cat joined in too. 😂. Hope you are feeling better now. We are in a September heat wave in Uk. The one plus is that we can dry clothes outside and save on power. The kiddos are back at school after a rainy summer. We are blessed though, so many other countries have suffered extremes. Thanks for your video, take care. ❤

[@mercywalschek2695]

This is so adorable. I am a newbie at sewing and I have yet to try my hand at embroidery. This would be so fun to try. And, I actually found some material at the thrift store that would be perfect. And, by the way. I'm with you on hating summer. I live in Southern Nevada. And summer temperatures get up to 120°F. Sometimes higher. It's June now and hotter than usual. I'm already counting down the minutes till Autumn.

Absolutely beautiful pinny, (as we can them in Yorkshire). I’m so impressed with your talent, both sewing and embroidery. x

Hi Kristina. I’m so pleased you posted. Tx you. Kindest regards and very best wishes. 😊🐾

[@karenkavanagh9372]

It's linen, woven on a loom.. only clip and tear.. then it perfectly on the grain.. Beforhand, clean-up your selvage first, then pull your corners both sides.. no need to cut.. 1st thing with any project wash & dry your linen beforehand for shrinkage. Spray starch and iron your big piece of line... now you are ready to measure, clip & rip.. Iron your pieces and sew. GiGi In Vintage

[@pixiebride1]

This is so beautiful! I loved the moment where your daughter praised you for choosing the pink pin. Too adorable!!! I also recently made myself a linen apron and I plan to add embroidery. My original plan was a dandelion with wishes blowing off but I’m kind of in love with your mushrooms and wildflowers and may take mine in a similar direction instead now. I never would have thought of embroidering mushrooms but they’re just so pretty! And finally, THANK YOU for that clip of Kristina vs the Blackberries at the end. I laughed so hard! We’ve all been there where something you imagined as romantic and ideal turns difficult. I loved your music choice there too. Perfect!

[@WithLoveKristina]

Oooh so this is funny because i have been thinking that I want to make a dandilion wishes embroidery piece! I think you should do whatever you looove. Lol I swear last year I did some fun aesthetic things in this same patch but this year they’re out to get meeee

(I can fit the smallest size in plus or the higher end of “normal” & Im 6”2 just to make things more difficult 😂). Clothes have never fit properly so Im taking up sewing to make my dream wardrobe. Because Im so new to sewing I keep stressing about needing the exact correct measurements(with seam allowance) for my apron pieces.
