The ONLY time I'll ever talk about this.

[@blackhannahofficial]

Karina, if I could be honest... almost 80% of the reason why I'm subscribed to this channel, is because I LOVE the 'tone' you present to your audience. I don't feel shamed or condemned because I don't have the perfect body. I just feel INSPIRED to make great projects. so Thank you for all you do 🤗

[@AussieTracy]

Well said.... 😊😊

[@SDIVADesigns]

Whenever I see a new video from you, I know I’m going to feel your confidence, respect and the true enjoyment you have in sewing. I agree, weight is a very personal and private thing. I would never bring it up either.

[@loribarton7480]

Karina… you are spot on with this topic. Thank- you for being so respectful of all women. We need to be more supportive and respectful to all of the women in our lives. Women can be so judgmental and petty. Thank- you for being a beautiful person inside and out!

[@margaretgorski7947]

Karina, i am so sorry you felt the need to talk about this. You are beautiful, period. I love your channel and inspiratin!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Thank you so much!

[@GladysRWhite]

I agree! And I love your hair!!

[@ArlenePMCM]

Your positivity, creativity and sewing talent is why 99.9% are subscribed to your channel. But this is a good topic today; no one needs to comment on looks, shape, any physicality of others - unless measuring for garments. As Granny used to say "let's all mind our own business"!

[@deb.m.7458]

Money, weight, sex, etc. seem to be talked about openly. Some topics should be kept to ourselves. We’re all getting older, so our bodies are changing. Let’s just sew beautiful clothes that fit well for where we are in life. That’s where Karina comes in with her sewing wand. Bam, she shows us how to look our best through sewing. We appreciate you so much and your hard work.

[@marymoore3585]

Don't let them steal your joy. We love you just like you are. Thank you for being the creator that you are. And thank you for sharing your sewing skills with us. I always look for you when I need to learn the next skill.

[@rubychurch3466]

I rarely comment, but I just have to pop in and type here. I’m sorry you feel you need to comment on your weight. You look fabulous, you’ve always looked fabulous and I have just gotten so much from the sensitive content and the beautiful way you address this situation. Kindness shines out of you. Thank you Karina.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

You are very kind. I thought this was a conversation I could have once and I was very nervous about it.

[@BL-cp7eq]

I am always amazed that a stranger thinks they have the right to comment on another persons appearance. I LOVE your videos, they are always so informative! Thank you for sharing your knowledge to help us that need your tips and your sew-alongs. I just started sewing last year....never sewed more than a straight stitch for straight curtains and I find sewing patterns ridiculously lacking in explainations! Thank you!

[@judykriese-jones568]

Thanks Karina! As the mother of a daughter who went through an eating disorder, I agree with your approach of not making comments at all about someone's weight! I love all your sewing advice and just honesty about measurements and this is the size you're making and those things just having to do with achieving a good fit. Thanks for everything!

[@seaside2001]

Your garments always fit perfectly. Sorry, Karina, I didn't notice, I am into the sewing.

[@Jo81562]

Tact and integrity, compassion, kindness and many other fine qualities is who you are. Thank you

[@joanneharvey246]

That’s what I love about your channel. You don’t talk about changes in our body. I’m 73 and you just told my story!! You have so much value/talent to share with the world. Please don’t change. ❤️

[@laurihuhn4727]

Thank you for this video. Weight and health are very personal with women everywhere. Judgement has no place in sewing videos. I love to see your alterations and adjustments as your body changes over time. You are truly a beautiful individual.

[@karenmartin1894]

Your channel is a delightful dose of positivity. I so enjoy your personality and get so much inspiration from your sewing skills.

[@sandyheller5438]

It’s so refreshing to hear a women not want to talk or comment on weight. I have had the worst year of my life and lost weight. There is not a person I see and they are always commenting on my weight. It’s so frustrating. It makes you feel like I looked bad before. 💕

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

I totally understand this because it happening to me right now with people I talk to in my area.

[@harmonygibbs7904]

This is a big part of why i do my best to compliment people only on the things they chose, and can control. "I love the way you did your hair, that dress looks great on you, that outfit is so stylish, i love your makeup'. weight and health and hell, having the money to eat healthy, it all can change so quickly and is really no ones business. you never know when you are complimenting an ED or criticizing a depressive episode. If they cant fix it in 10 seconds, don't say anything.

[@jenl2530]

Light bulb! I have always really hated being told by someone that I’ve lost weight and look great. I just recognized that in the first moments of this video. It’s not just bc I am likely to regain and then there will be silence about weight and how I look-and that means something else. And, yes some of my temporary weight loss has been from sad things or medical issues that I don’t like to share with anyone. Karina, thank you for the eloquent words about these issues! And for creating a judgment-free space.

[@sidebuns]

I love that you share the clothes on yourself so we can see how it looks, it really helps! Wouldn't ever consider mentioning your weight, that's completely personal to you & I hope people commenting won't sway you from sharing yourself and your awesome sewing skills.

[@Dranma51]

My goal for watching sewists in their KZbin channels is to learn how to sew for my own body size. Yours is one of the best! I’m a tall, plus sized lady. It’s impossible to find RTW clothing so I have no choice but to sew. I’ve learned a lot from your channel, thank you!

[@shereemckinnon3896]

Your approach is perfect, no judgment on good or bad parts of your body, just numbers and making clothes that fit.

[@hilaryberry7133]

It is so sad that people feel they have a right to comment on your body, or on anyone’s body shape or shape changes. I watch your channel because I love the way you approach your sewing and your channel is so friendly and chatty. I have learnt so much from your dressmaking tips and really appreciate you showing your makes on a real body rather than just photos or on a mannequin. Ignore the idiots and just be you. Sending hugs.

[@maryannfournier5404]

Karina, I have been sewing since I was 9 years old. I am now 74. After all these years, when I don't understand something, I come to your channel to help me out and most often find a better way to sew something. Keep doing what you're doing. Your family is lucky to have you. Women are petty, simply put those Negative Nancys out of your life and don't look back.

[@sbrickett]

I’m sorry that you felt that you needed to address this topic. I’m of the mindset that people should mind their own business.😊

[@quaintlyso]

Karina, you’re an inspiration in so many ways, but I can’t tell you how much I’ve been inspired by watching you. I also fluctuate in size and your videos have been so so so helpful as a beginning sewist. So much respect and love for your work here

[@carolynhoppe3196]

Karina, Thank you for sharing your story. We love you and all your contributions to the sewing community!

[@jenthulhu]

I love what you have to say about this! Far too much emphasis is placed on our appearances. I think we should all just keep such thoughts to ourselves. It doesn't have a place in public discourse. You're teaching us to make garments that are as flattering as they can be. That's invaluable! Thank you.

[@Kakkydidit]

Oh, gosh. I have lost and gained at least 200 pounds in my life. What I don't always tell people is why this is. People around me make all kinds of assumptions (judgments) about this, whether they voice these or not. I have tons of esteem issues, including body stuff, and I'm too old to still feel like an adolescent about this. What I like and need is to be around women who don't talk much about how great people look when they're really talking about weight loss. You make beautiful garments that fit you beautifully! Thank you, Karina.

[@LovingHandsDesign]

We treasure you and all you do. You take care of you. We appreciate your taking the time to teach us and share so many techniques. But we all believe you have a beautiful Soul and your personal business is your business. We pray for your well being, you come first. If you put out 1 video a week then we will treasure it. Thank you for all you do.

[@cynthiasechrest278]

Hi Karina, I am so glad you are doing weight training. I am 80 years old and do weight training several times a week. That’s why I can lift a 50 pound bag over my head when putting my bag up in the airplane! So keep on going as it is the best exercise I have ever done. Please promote this to all your listeners… it is life transforming! Best to you and you are an amazing teacher. Thank you!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Wow! You are strong and that’s amazing. I plan to keep doing this as a way of life and it makes a huge difference functionally. 💪🏼💪🏼

[@nikkijohnson552]

80 and lifting a 50 lb bag over your head? Now that IS impressive! I’m shamed at 81 - thought I was really doing well being able to run after hip replacement …. Keep goin’, girl….Yea Rah!! Bravo!

[@katiebrand8277]

You're a beautiful soul, both inside and out. That's all that's needed.

[@karen-zb7pu]

Karina, you are a class act. I agree that commenting on another person's weight, even when you think it is complementary, can be very offensive. Your sensitvity is wonderful.

[@michellewaters1246]

I’m sorry people have been disrespectful. There is so much meanness out there.

[@BetseyClaire]

So glad to hear that you are investing in taking great care of yourself! You are the best! ❤

[@janettyson2628]

Karina, well done for speaking your mind and I totally agree with you. We all go through phases in our life when our weight goes up and down. It sounds as though you’re in control now and living your life the best way for you. Keep up the brilliant sewing videos and no need to talk about this ever again. Hugs xx

[@ks8115]

Karina you are a remarkable lovely woman and so generous to share your story. It is inspirational and wish you continued good health. ❤

[@GeorginaButler-q8q]

Hi Karina, I love your channel. I’m sorry that people think they can say whatever they like on social media and that you had to talk about things that are clearly personal to you here. You are amazing! I have even started basting before sewing because of you ❤

[@haleypearc]

Karina, you provide such a safe and inspirational space for sewists of all shapes and sizes. I appreciate all that you do and the intentionality with which you approached this topic. I'm sorry that people made comments that made you feel that you needed to discuss this highly personal topic. Thank you for your approach and your honesty.

[@ChristineParry-w7h]

You are the best sewing video channel on KZbin. Your clothes are amazing and I refer to your videos all the time. I’m sorry that people feel it necessary to comment on your body, please carry on as you are making your amazing tutorials in your brilliant way. Thank you so much. Xxx

[@jeanzhsewing]

One of the things I love about your channel is that you are completely neutral about measurements. They are what they are and that's fine! You are my go to source for techniques and I hope you never change your content.

[@valeriemeare8629]

Karina, I have watched your videos for a while and you look gorgeous in all of them. Your garments fit you perfectly and the way you style them is wonderful. I have noticed that you are slimmer but it has been a slow process and I am so happy to know that it was planned. I look forward to your videos whenever you can produce them. I am 73 and collected some of the health issues that you have and added 3 cancer diagnoses to my list. I am cancer free and sewing has kept me going through the last two. When I don't sew I watch your videos. I was body shamed as a teenager and young adult by my own mother. I was a bit over 5 ft and slim and no amount of food made me bigger. How I wish for those days again.. Stay well and thank you for being you.

[@kentuckymarsha]

❤I’m. So glad you said what you did. I have chronic health problems that have kept me E from sewing for the last year. Thank you for modeling respectful and positive interactions for people. Thank you.

[@gerriebell2128]

Thank you for everything you said. I grew up skinny and shorter than everyone, but then after having my third child, everything changed and at 73 I’m overweight and round-ish. The only reason to mention weight for sewing is to show how to make adjustments on patterns, as things fluctuate. To discuss the difference in when it works to adjust by taking in or letting out, and what the limits on those kinds of adjustments are and when it’s time to stop adjusting and just make a whole new size. That info might help someone if we all focus on the principles involved and not the numbers. As for how many videos, YOU decide based on time and how you are feeling. Praying for God to help you in every area.

[@LauraDoss870]

Thank you, Katrina. You look beautiful in any size. I appreciate your content always.

Thank you so much. That’s what matters the most to me in the end.

[@downtoearthsewing]

I am happy for you that you are actively taking care of yourself! I recently read an excellent book, and one of the chapters dealt with "judging." It said it's part of our human instinct, our brains are always judging whether we want to or not, but the wise person knows when to keep things to themselves. You are wise in your approach to this subject! Love your channel and your positive attitude. Looking forward to your new makes, and always looking back at older videos too because you have the best tutorials ❤

[@ireneeckhardt924]

Your positive personality and outlook on life which is reflective in your videos is one of the reasons I subscribe and support you on Patreon.

[@vickijenkins1438]

You are such a positive influence. Weight is personal. Happy sewing. Never miss a video.❤❤❤❤❤

Yep it’s super personal. It’s just the the comments were so many! I made an exception and talked about it.

[@robinrehrer6739]

Just want to ad that I have had a bilateral mastectomy. This has made it very difficult to fit ready made and patterns to my figure. I wish more bloggers would recognize this and give advice about how to make alterations for a smaller bust that does not match big four and indie measurements…Love your channel and the way you share.

[@katieyamaguchi533]

I love your videos, I feel we are of a similar age and place in life and I love watching you model your makes purely because it gives the context for the design and styling ideas. It's not lost on me how brave it is to publish so much of yourself online, but please know you don't owe your viewers anything more than you want to create❤

[@louiseredwoods6945]

[@marygellatly2258]

I totally agree with you Karina, I would never comment on anyone’s weight/weight loss. I watch your channel for your brilliant and high standard of sewing - I have learned so much about sewing and fabric and patterns and fit from you. Thank you❤

[@nonyabizness956]

Exactly. The only time I've ever commented on a friend's (or anyone's) weight was because she said she was shocked when she weighed herself and it was much lower than the last time she'd done it months earlier but she couldn't see the difference and she wasn't convinced it was accurate. I know she has issues with perceiving her body accurately so I told her I definitely noticed (because I did) but didn't want to comment on it either way because I felt like commenting on her weight loss would just add to the self image issues she already struggles with and potentially lead to unhealthy habits to achieve more weight loss and get that positive reinforcement. But I also wanted to offer my eyes as an outsider since she can't always rely on her own -and she asked, which is the most important thing.

[@tonimaher6495]

I love your videos - you are always so positive. I’ve sewn since I was a little girl with a toy sewing machine and I always learn something new from you (I’m in my 70’s now).

[@henriettejosephine]

I totally agree! I did not read any of the aforementioned comments but I watch quite a lot of youtubers who keep on bragging about their weight loss and it is so boring. Of course weight changes affect our sewing but that is of no interest to the viewers as their bodies are different and change as well. So thank you for your words.

[@AnnaLucas-d7s]

You look gorgeous as always you have been.... I love your channel for your content but you are a great person and it refects in your channel 🎉❤

I agree personal stuff is your business and I'm here for your wonderful, informative content. However, lovely to understand you and your journey a bit more, it makes listening and learning from you even better so thank you. Sewing for your shape whatever it is right now is what we all need to do and you help us all by sharing measurements and techniques. I also love how you show far more of you wearing the finished piece, I used to have to skip back and again to get a good look, no longer 😍 All the best for everything.

[@KathleenStidham]

❤ thank you for taking on this topic. Our weight is not always under our control and neither is our ability to exercise. Having you say it out loud number one. Made me remember to be kind when I’m talking to others and number two. Honestly I needed to hear that today that it’s not my body size or shape or ability that makes me a person. I’m a person and so are you. Thanks again❤

[@cindytitterington7069]

[@lindasutton937]

[@gratituderanch9406]

I didn’t know you were a midwife! So much even more respect for you! I had a TERIBBLE MD with my first baby- who said I couldn’t have a baby vag…lly. She wouldn’t let me squat and said I could do any thing I wanted as long as I was on my back on her table. She also forced medicine on me that permanently hurt me and my baby. I have seizures and stuff now too. Anyway I fired her and found a lovely midwife. Used one with all 3 of my babes- all over 9#, all healthy. The lady had shoulder dystocia and turtles twice - midwives are AMAZING. They are truly amazing. Also- I don’t know why some folks say the things they do! Common sense isn’t common anymore! Sheesh.

[@janineubert7262]

You are such a caring person the way you consider everyone’s feelings. You are absolutely right! I love watching your tutorials. Our figures are similar and my weight fluctuates because of my health situation and meditation. I have three different sizes in my wardrobe. It’s refreshing to see someone sewing and dealing with the practicality of making clothes fit to your body and sharing sizes. The real life sizes 😅 There are so many tutorials with styles that will never suit me or fit the shape of my body. From the bottom of my heart: thank you so very much for just being you and keep on making these wonderful tutorials and good luck with the weightlifting ❤

[@carrieburden4843]

Hey, Karina. Thank you for sharing your story! If you're up for it, I'd love to see a video or two showing how you repurpose those former you garments to work for the present you. I love your videos and learned so much from them. Please know, you have always been a positive presence in my sewing journey even when you may not feel it yourself :)

[@normacooper6377]

Congratulations on taking greater care of yourself! As long as you’re healthy, feeling good, and checking in with healthcare professionals for assistance as needed, it seems like a good thing.

[@dawnjeffersramstad8401]

Karina, well said! As a sewist, I find that regularly confronting my tape measure is a real challenge. Lately I remeasure every time I cut a pattern, just like I check my weight once a week. Interesting to note how often when my sewing channels discuss weight there is an endocrine issue. Me too.

[@loisg.6240]

Karina - What I've always loved about your content is that is not focused on a perfect body image. However I do learn how to style garments because of your honest critique about your choices. All your content is honest about that - such as what you prefer as a top length and why. You hit the nail on the head - we can tweak things to look this way or that way on our own body. I love that you provide that commentary - length, volume, prints, solids etc. We each can take away that knowledge and apply to our own bodies and our own garment choices. Thank you for this honest explanation about weight loss/gain - well done. Now let's get back to sewing. haha. You said it right - we all sew for our own image and thank you for all the inspiration. It has been HUGE! Happy New Year!

[@streamstriss]

I'm glad you're talking about this, even just this once. I've lost some weight this year (intended positive change) and I've been kind of sad about my old makes that no longer fit. I'm trying to figure out what I want to make and what I want to invest in, given the fact that I'm still shrinking. Thanks for talking about your own changes and what's that's meant for your sewing. I wish we didn't feel so uncomfortable talking about it, but I understand why. Much love to everyone and be kind to yourself. Life is a journey and we're all on it together. 💞

[@terriwhite3316]

Karina, I appreciate your honesty. I have noticed that some people think they have to point out other's imperfections. Which is very cruel. Don't let them keep you down. I love your videos because you are so joyful. How you look isn't the important part it is the knowledge you impart to us.

[@kayemallory117]

Karina, thank you for sharing. I love to watch you sew specifically because you sew for the body you have. I learn how to adapt pattern pieces for the body I have by watching you. If you are going to alter some of your garments that need resizing, I'd love to see videos on that, too! Thanks for sewing and sharing online.

[@GlenysWilliams-wy2hj]

I never even thought about it. I have always loved the positivity of your sewing. You sew beautifully, and explain everything incredibly well. To be honest, I don’t read your comments. I’m so sorry that you’re having to talk about this topic when all you do is encourage us to sew beautiful clothes for ourselves. I love watching your channel.

[@ks8115]

And you are my go to person yo check on a particular technique in sewing garments. I have sewn all my life but I learn something from every video you share. Thank you do much.

[@jessicacraig4553]

Way to go with your exercise routine. I myself enjoy doing the treadmill or the elliptical machine, but I don’t enjoy doing weights. I try to do weights sometimes but I’m not very good with it. But I think exercise is key to feeling good. I will be 80 in January. I can’t believe I will be 80. But I still do an hour on the treadmill or the elliptical machine every day. And I love sewing. I especially enjoy your channel. I like seeing the way you style the different things you sell. It is very inspiring. Thank you for doing this. As far as losing and gaining weight, in my 80 years, my weight has been up and down and up and down. I don’t even think about it. I also don’t worry about other people‘s weight is. How much a person weighs is not important in what the person is like.

[@heatherchappell6075]

Thank you so much for your honesty. In one of your videos you said measurements are just numbers -which did me the world of good. I had put on weight because of health problems and every thing I was sewing just didn’t fit because I wasn’t being honest with myself. I’m so happy for you that you have made the right choices for yourself. I love your sewing tutorials and instructions ❤

Karina, I have learnt so much from your channel. I accept I do not have a perfect figure and I have learnt to adjust my patterns to be a good fit. As a young girl I used to have hangups about my weight people can be so mean. I think things are so much better now with advertising using all shapes and sizes in their advertising material. Also, nurses are such important people especially midwives; I still remember the nurses who helped me with the delivery of my children. Keep up the good work! Thank you heaps! Your sewing videos are great. Look after yourself.

[@nancymeyers5205]

Karina I have always been taller than everyone while growing up. I won the prize at a birthday party party as I weighed more than the other kids. Talk about embarrassing as a 12 year old! That voice has been in my mind ever since and I’m now in my 60’s so yes people don’t know how this hurts. I’m thankful when you say how you adjust patterns you sew because I’m tall too and it helps me fit patterns. You’re such a good teacher and sew so beautifully. I’ve learned so much from you. Thank you for the joy you bring to us 😊

[@upcycledcopycat8389]

Thank you for that update. I see KZbinrs so often that I tell my adult kids I consider most to be "my imaginary friends. I was 5'8" since grade 6 and wore a size 10 shoe. I was taller than all the boys all through school. That's why I sewed most of my clothes while in high school. I hated school for always being the odd one out.
