@@hussainvirk8598 lemme guess, infp?
this video just called me unskilled in 6 different patterns and colors
*Differently* skilled.
I have a friend who spins and weaves, so she makes her own outfits from start to finish. I'm happy to let her have that win, since I have other things I am good at that she cannot do. It's the balance of skill/educating yourself on technique/and making enough mistakes you learn how to do a given thing.
You are an expert at something different, no matter what it is. Please don't insult yourself just because someone has different skills than you do.
Golden Gryphon I know you typed this out weeks ago - but I want to thank you. I truly needed to hear that.
@@goldengryphon cant reealtw bc im not skilled at anything lol
@@taritangeo4948 Yes, you are. Maybe you can't see it. Maybe you aren't aware of it.
Everyone has a skill in something; just because it isn't obvious, doesn't mean it's not valid.
Maybe you can make the most amazing cup ramen ever, or fold sheets faster, or remember all the words to a song. Maybe you're an expert at creative excuses, or you can bake the most fantastic cookies, or make a bed (either from scratch, building it, or just putting clean sheets and blankets on it) faster than anyone you know.
I knew a guy who could make, weigh, and prepare pizza dough faster than anyone else. He won an award for it at a statewide competition. It's not a highly useful skill, but it is a skill and I was happy for him to have that one, since he saw it as something he had learned that helped him in his job and also kinda made other people happy.
There is something you can do that is better, faster, or unique. Whatever it is, claim it and be proud. I know that I'm proud of you for being willing to say you don't have a skill on the Internet, but that, too, is a skill.
I hope you have a great day!
@@goldengryphon Hey Gryphon, I know this is old as hell but thank you. I always pity myself over things I want to but cannot do and this made me reflect on things I am pretty good at like English (in my country it's rare to sound like me when speaking English because I have a different accent) and a little bit of singing and horse riding. So again, thank you. Brought a little tear to my eye. Hope you're doing well :)
You know the "mama, I don't need a rich man. I'm rich a man" ? Well Carolina is like "mama I'm my own clothing store"
Karolina
@@yourmotherahha9486 Probably auto-correct
Idk how you made the first dress look SO good with this totally cowgirl method of sewing but I have huge respect heheh
queeen!
I know!!!! I use patterns and still have weird looking projects 😭
Very Micarah vibes
Never have I seen a cowgirl/cowboy method of ANYTHING be done so SO well. I was so astonished, but not shocked since it’s literally Karolina.
I agree it’s a real hack job but she makes it work.
Cloning existing clothing is probably the best part of knowing how to sew.
*Looks at my favorite dress*
I bet I can make that in a ridiculous print and pretend it's the exact same dress to confuse people
@@rosequill7925 Do it!
My grandmothers did this all the time to their favorite dresses :).
Oh i have a super summery dress I love in color and print that dont suit me.... And 100% polyester... Hmm
@@taritangeo4948 turn it into a pattern lol
You always have these seemingly careless, haphazard projects that always turn out so perfect, so let's just call it what it is: talent. Never a mess.
Years of practice can make things seem effortless.
Me during Covid: eating my weight in nachos
Karolina during Covid: "im bored, lemme just sew a whole new wardrobe"
me too, waaaaah
Oooo, nachos sounds really good right now.
Honestly, both are quite impressive feats. I couldn't eat anywhere near that many nachos if I tried!
I haven't had nachos in forever 🤤
But covid-19 diet definitely calls for some summer sewing project.
I made a damn quilt 🤣
"the materials don't breathe" proceeds to make a dress out of polyester
Loool I was thinking the same thing
😂😂😂
Oh yeah my first thought when she said polyester!!!
Right? I was really confused lol
Well she already had it so at least she's not wasting it. Just... don't buy more polyester lol
Really digging that summer look of meme ma. Not gonna lie, she be looking kinda fresh tho
The music makes it sound like you're gonna go rob a casino.
I was kinda getting Austin Powers vibes...🤔🧐
😂🤣😅😃
@@Eowyn3Pride Groovy baby! 😆😆😅🤣
@@Eowyn3Pride omg same. I thought I was the only one
If someone wants this vibe for yourself look up Herb Alpert. I think he literally did the soundtrack for Casino Royale (more brassy, Herbie/ bonkers/ vintage auto race sound going on though.) this one is perfect isn't it?
the way you make that first dress has such a Micarah Tewers energy in the best way lmao
Love them both.. 💚
I was just thinking that!
Totally! "Who needs a pattern, just cut the fabric and it will come out fabulous"
Sewing goals!
Is there even a way to have Micarah vibes in a bad way, though? Methinks not.
Ikr?? I look at it and was like "this looks like something that Micarah would do. Chaotic good tailor energy."
This is the sort of stuff I used to do as a teenager. Then I had enough sewing classes to learn that you can’t make clothes properly that way. So I stopped working without a pattern. Moral of the story - too many sewing classes are a bad thing! This is fabulous stuff. I was shocked and delighted by how well that first dress fit. Inspiring creativity.
Exactly, that was first thing I've thought - without pattern? How?
I agree. I took sewing all through high school and I don't think I learned a single useful thing. My mom taught me how to follow a pattern when I was 12 so sewing class was just a convenient place to make dresses. I've learned wayyyy more on UA-cam.
So many things are like that; too overtaught . We all have our own way of creating 💖
i don’t understand. you can make clothes properly without a pattern if you know how to do it
@@stateofgrace03 Exactly. I think it's like that with everything. After using a pattern a few times you just kinda understand how it works and can try without it. Take cooking as another example. The first few times you use a recipe but after you cook a thing a few times you no longer need the recipe.
Meme mum: *Actually doing something productive during quarantine*
Me: *Watching this while thinking about how nice would it be to actually be productive during quarantine*
Same, bro. Same.
hella mood
SAME! 😅🤷♀️🙃
To be fair, it's summer now, I have done a lot during quarantine, but now it's warm and my brain has stopped working.
My home gets superwarm and I've just stopped doing stuff after 3 in the noon.
I love how you always acknowledge that sewing is a pain in the ass and that it's not always some kind of beautiful meditative exercise. I think the slashing and cutting and swearing at the sewing machine is far more authentic to the history of sewing!
Meme mom: just gonna lay the fabric over the dress, gestimate, cut, just three pins.... results 👌🏼
Me: screaming, fabric tearing, bloodshed, lost scissors, cramped leg.... tears 😢
Ikr. The only time I had a first try amazing success was when I tried baking for the first time ever and made a frick’n apple cake from scratch. I followed a Pinterest recipe. It was a miracle. But I’m sure that’ll be my one swan song. Usually takes a million failures.
Same. It never turns out right when I wing it for sewing projects 😢
Same!
I need at least 30 pins
ikr? sometimes, even if I'm doing it correctly and its a simple garment, I take weeks because I'm scared to cut or ruin the fabric or something not fitting me.
I would have stayed for the rant about unethical modern clothing!
Yeeessss me too 😁🌱
@kshiftkometh Thrift shops are cheap af tho, no need to go high-end vintage
Same
@kshiftkometh But chain stores can be pricey, too - she literally said that in the video. Also, funny as it is, but in my country chain stores like HM and such are literally still seen as a higher middle class thing, whereas poorer people often shop at secondhand stores/flea markets. But then again, I guess fashion is just kinda slow here because of communism and stuff. Rant over lol, didn't mean to offend anyone
@kshiftkometh yes!
This is the ultimate flex for a non-sewer like myself. I'm so impressed. Everything turned out so cute.
30 seconds in and her facial expressions have me sold!
dude i see you on so many videos lmao
Honor Honor right? She’s everywhere. Unus annus I think, definitely thatsideofyoutube2, are we the same person?
@@emtheplatypus337 i see her a lot on fairbairn films
Honor Honor YEAH ME TOO!!
Hol' up i've seen you before
Me: *going blind trying to stare close enough at the pattern to cut each piece exactly as it is represented*
Garment: *is 💩y*
Karolina: *rough cuts based on a dress lying crumpled on her floor*
Dress: *is flawless*
🥺🥺🥺
This is exactly what I need to ride out this mental breakdown that I’m having lmao
Get better, friend
hope you feel better soon ❤️
You can do it!
If meme mom responds I think he's fine now
❤❤❤😊⭐🌷
“Making a Summer Wardrobe” OR “Immortals Bringing Back their Favorite Fashions from Yesteryear”
Me trying to do my homework:
Karolina: INTERESTING SEWING VIDEO. WATCH
Same.
Im supposed to be writing an essay but when meme mom posts i must watch immediately.
Having an exam tomorrow, but guess what, of course meme mom goes first 😂
Lol I just quit school
I am literally supposed to be reading for class Right Now. Thanks, I needed a reminder
"I don't know, it just happened" is a powerful mood
Karolina: doesn’t use a pattern
Uses 3 pins
Sewing machine has uneven stitch
Dress: perfection!
“Do you ever wake up and think I have nothing to wear. I guess I have make something new to wear.” Yes, yes. I do. It’s not just you.
my 14 year old :/
*knocks on door at 10 pm* Mom I'm raiding the fabric stash.
me: ok have fun I'm sleeping.
*knocks om door at 11:3p pm* HALP I broke the machine 🥺
Me pretending I know what she's talking about even though I don't know how to sew: 🤓
me who knows how to sew, knowing she's not doing things super correctly: 😲
I'm about 100% sure I would have cut into the dress, when copying the pattern that way. 😕😳
I would of bought a vintage pattern
@@wombatlittle1 normally you just use pattern making paper to trace the edges of the pieces (not final fabric) from your existing dress and cut them out later. i do all my clothes like this or by draping paper onto my dress form
I thought the same thing!🤣
I did the same at my sewing class at school. I still have that piece, it's a nightie and it has a huge hole at the side 😢😂🤣🤣🤣
that play suit was so iconic i might actually stop thinking about sewing something and actually learn to do it. I need one.
ps- it would be nice if you included some close-up shots of the pieces you didn't show yourself making, partly because vintage clothes are all about details and partly so we can appreciate your work. If you'd shown a close up of the monkey dress vs the heart dress, i could see how the fabric was cut, and i'd love to get a closer look at the tab front detail, and how on earth was that belt constructed on the tiered dress?!? And since i'm very much considering making my own play suit, what went wrong with the shorts?!
hope you don't think i'm complaining; i love your work!!
Same! I really wanted to see the details close up
I love how you not only used vintage forms/cuts but actually incorporated details that would have been legitimately popular in the 30's and 40's :D
That dramatic intro tho we stan
That intro was literally me after going to a department store last week! I swear if you light a match in the ladies department it would all melt, dresses don't have sleeves as God forbid that would take more time and fabric. Too much cheap garbage in the world.
@@Chahlie period!
I only had 3 pins availabe, just sums up my whole life
I related to that so much. Take knitting needles for instance: I have gobs but they are always tied up on a UFO.
Ikr
I bought a box of pins and i still use those 3 i had only
3:34 sewing and making clothes completely goes over my head that I said “OH GOD I FORGOT THERE’S A BACKSIDE”
however it’s very fun to watch a garment being made I could literally never
@@riggamorrischan I'm sure you'd be able to! Learning to sew is actually WAY easier than you think, and there are tons of great tutorials online. The best way to learn (in my experience, anyway) is just to start :)
The Norma Shearer hair works so well with these looks!!
Yes, it's very light and summery, just like those summer dresses!
Vera Lynn is dead. 😔 May she rest in peace.
I’m so so sad about it. What a strong woman she was.
@@shannonc.5837 Indeed Shannon. Incredible woman.
RIP 😢🌹🌼
WAIT SHE IS?!?!
We’ll meet again :(
I own the same sewing machine, we argue often but we love eachother
I cuss mine and threaten to melt it down for buttons. Lol it works for about half a day and we argue some more... Haha
@@marymoore3585 it threatens to melt ME into buttons so I keep my mouth shut
@chanel kim this is too relatable
@@SM-qv2om agreed
I just got one 1951 model, we”re in the honeymoon phase and I have named him bobbin xx
Currently sewing myself a new dress out of rayon mix curtains so we're all in this together
Wish you luck!
Very post-war Scarlett O’Hara of you!
I saw it in the winda and just had to have it
@@bladeofSteele i love you forever
OMG! Shade of Carol Burnett and her Gone With the Wind skit. If you haven't seen it, Google it.
WITCHCRAFT! I would never begin to attempt something like this out of fear and sheer lack of confidence but dang girl! This looks amazing!!!
The monkey dress is my favorite. The shape and cut fit you perfect.
My dream is to have several copies of my favorite dress but in every color.
Make. It. Make. It. Make. It.
I do....simple bagged out A line that a friend drafted and showed me how to sew..it3a getting slowly better and i wear them all.
Ikr same
@@teddy4400 I love your pfp and name, like, Felipe, Crybaby's cearal box isnt a sleeping bag!
Same!
This was the craziest way I have ever seen to make a dress pattern, that works! Amazing!
Hahaha if you enjoyed this then I recommend Micarah Tewers, her dress making method is insane lmao
0:53 "No, just me?"
Glad you asked, I currently have a top, a dress and a sweater in the works 💪🏻
I knit though 😄
I have just been making blankets through quarantine
Thank you for the wholesome content ❤🇮🇹 take care
Literally decided last year that I will no longer buy clothing, just make it. I only just this spring got started on this process and since I've started you are the second person to make a video about making all your own clothes
I can't sew, but I got a pattern for some 1940s style overalls and begged my mom until she agreed to make them for me. She has to get her machine fixed first, but I'm very excited.
“I only had three pins available and the whole thing was kind of spontaneous anyway” a whole mood
The colors of that first dress is literally my favorite color combo ever
The flawless drop in perfect coordination with music at 10:31!!!!! I absolutely love it!
Karolina reminding us that we got the power to make our own gardrobe... have the summer clothes of our dreams...truly inspirational
Oh, this old thing? I just whipped it together from scraps of fabric in 10 minutes.
This is just a giant flex from meme mom
Me, inspired by Karolina: wait, I also can sew
Old "Burda" in the corner of my room: *sweats nervously*
The first 20 seconds of this video were epic alone.
The facial expressions. The emotions.
Incredible.
Girl, that short hair looks amazing on you!
I’m impressed. So impressed. I JUST took my first stab at sewing this week and I fully admire that you accomplished so much and without a single pattern!
*My friend who just started to see Karolina's stuff:*
Look!!
She's gone insane!!
She's sewing the whole day!!
*Me, a current viewer of this lady:*
Nah, she's like that all the days.
As a guy who's said that the entire fashion industry is useless, I love this channel.
You'd be surprised but even though I'm still learning how to sew my first instinct now when I have nothing to wear is "what's in my fabric stash, gotta make me a new skirt/dress"
I fully blame the Costube community
I love the Google Translate positive affirmations, I feel it
NEW VIDEO
Okay so this is a really clever way to work without a pattern.
the chaotic patternmaking gives me life
our time travel mom is back with another video yes
You did not make a mess. You made cloths that you wanted to wear and you got better at it as you went along. Since a lot of the designs were popular during my childhood, all I expected to learn was what you wanted the cloths to look like. You had fun making them and modeling them and I had fun watching you. I started learning how to put fabric together and decorate it in the early 1940s. In the late 40s and early 50s I really learned to sew. Thank you for bringing back childhood memories.
I feel so inspired to do this myself! First step learn how to sew something other than tote bags and pillows
My favorite is the two toned checkered style with the cross buttons. The color is beautiful and I love the cross buttons.
Watching on mute because I am in a Zoom class 😂😂😂
Priorities!
Me too, right now. Our meme mom connects us
Come back and watch with audio because omg the music 🎶
that is the most metal pattern drafting i have ever seen. i can't believe that worked. very pleasing
I’m so early, I feel so blessed!! I just got done binge watching videos from this channel 😂
Love the Chopin... my mum used to play this when I was falling asleep
I absolutely adored that play suit! Those shorts looked really good on you! If I am being honest, I would probably ditch the apron and just wear it as is, but obviously you do you. Regardless, everything you made looks great! Well done, Karolina!!
This is giving me extreme Micarah Tewers vibe and I absolutely love it.
I love the dresses, and can I just say, I can't get over how fabulous your new hair is as well.
A real queen should be able to make her own clothes. Karolina is indeed a true queen of vintage realness. She's a gift that keeps on giving.
Karolina uploads and i'm like.
Me: Babe, Meme Mom is calling me.
The first outfit 🤯🤯🤯🤯 I am blown away. At first, I thought no way will that work w/ out a pattern. 🤦🏾♀️ I could not believe how beautiful it looked.
The Google Translate pep talk killed me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm glad I'm not the only one that has in her wardrobe the exact same dress in four different fabric colors. When I find a style that fits my body type and is comfy to wear I just run with it.
Meme Mom: I guess I'll just effortlessly throw together a whole vintage summer outfit collection! I only need 10 minutes on youtube to show it all off!
Me: I guess I could sew a button on my pants today....if I have time...
The second one is my favorite thing ever
Is it just me wishing I could actually sew?
Also loveeee the color scheme and the dresses!
Karolina please keep doing sewing videos! The 50’s vibes are everything!
You know what. I wanna learn how to do this! I would make my own clothes.
the second colourblock dress is SO BOMB 💣
new subbie, lol you are brilliant! you had me with these run backs btw
Me a seamstress: what is she doing?? 😵
Karolina: perfect fit dress
Me: well whatever works for her🤷♀️
This was eye opening. For a few months now I had a dressing problem - every now and then I noticed some middle-aged or older man wearing a really cool shirt, but then when I went to a ciucholand (used clothes' shop) the patterns never resembled what I was looking for. There were also no shirt with inside pockets, and I found those to be incredibly useful. Your video inspires me to make my own shirt, using the one I bought some time ago instead of buying overpriced 80s garment that needs maintenance anyway. I sadly have no sewing machine, but I'm already used to torturing my hands from hours of clothes and gear repair using a needle.
1. I think we should all chip in to get our talented meme ma a lovely sewing machine (SHE DESERVES IT!) 2. It made my whole life when she said, "....so it doesn't look like I'm wearing a pamperS"!!! LMAO....
The "do you ever wake up and think I have nothing to wear I guess I need to sew something" is literally how I got my favorite dress ;)
she looked like a whole kpop group in the thumbnail and i got confused LMAO
I'm still plugging away at getting boxes unpacked, but I shall get there. You are a true inspiration. I loved it! Making your own clothes and designing on the fly is so satisfying. Thanks Karolina, this was wonderful!
10 seconds in I relate so much
I think this is AWESOME! You are too modest. I made a cute little Frontier "buckskin" outfit for my little boy when he was in kindergarden by having him lie down on the fabric and cutting around his body! Same with his tunic. And it turned out adorable. You give so many good sewing tips such as on the bodice to allow for the gathers.
There goes Meme Mum, being an Icon again!
Making the first dress was kinda a chaotic pattern process that turned out so well!!
Wow our meme mom is getting more and more beautiful and skilled
How skilled talented creative people just be existing? Like... I am CONFUSION!
Girl. I ain't never been so early. How auspicious
You are so talented and dedicated. I get half way through a dress and decide it's too boring to continue. You look amazing.
Rest in Peace Dame Vera Lynn. 1924 -2020
❤️
She died at 103 😔
I am 3000% obsessed with that two-toned front plaquet house dress!
Me: This should be easy, 2 darts 180 pins
Karolina: I'll sew a whole dress with 3 pins
