🎉 We are hosting a Singer Sewing Machine Giveaway over on the second channel!! 🎉 Super excited to announce this 🌟 Singer Sewing Machine Giveaway! 🌟 To show our gratitude and love to all of you! 🏆 What you can win: Win 1 of 10 Singer Sewing Machines 🧵ua-cam.com/video/c1pP0j36d14/v-deo.html
For anyone who wants to copy their clothes, I would recommend a more precise method: don't just lay it on the fabric and cut around. Lay it on a piece of paper (sewing pattern paper, or any wrapping paper), draw around it and then clean up the lines (make straight what should be straight, smooth out the curves). If it's meant to be symmetric, like panties, tank top, t-shirt), make it symmetric - fold the paper in half and correct any asymmetries. Not only will you get a cleaner pattern, but also a pattern you can reuse, or use as a base to draft your new, experimental patterns :)
Thank you!! Those are amazing advices!!! ❤😮😊
I think it's funny Mia sharing how long it took her because when I sew it takes a million times longer. I'm a perfectionist so, I can't imagine me doing it like that. It's great to see though that it still turns out great!
What I do is: wash the fabric first, iron it, carefully trace your garment onto pattern paper and cut it out, carefully trace pattern onto fabric with seam allowance and cut it out and then finally pin and sew.
@@mickb.8925 Me too! 😂❤ I do it sometimes like Mia does when I feel myself being too much of a perfectionist. It's a good exercise in not being a control freak 😅
Hey lingerie designer here 🙋🏻♀️ you absolutely can use t shirt cotton material for underwear as long as it has a good lining/decent fabric for the gusset material if you line the entire pant then there’s no need for the extra gusset either :) you did so well recreating the pants, lingerie is NOT an easy hobby to get into making so well done you! 🖤
What would you recommend to begin making lingerie? Want to get into it really bad 😅
@@Zharoze hey! So started with a soft cup bra without fastenings could be good kinda like a crop top? Or even just a basic bodysuit/swimsuit so you can get to grips with stretch material and working with elastics too! If you follow Evie La Luve and mmadalynne they have some fantastic patterns and tutorials out there for beginners 😊 good luck and I wish you the best of luck!!
How do you get into lingerie designing? Like how do I approach for such opportunities? Trying to explore on my interests here so anything you could add would be amazing
@Zharoze I've made some bras and underwear. I highly recommend Emerald Erin. She has patterns and kits so you have everything you need to get going. I buy from her site fairly frequently. Going to try her swimsuit kits for the summer!
mia i have an idea- you should make a series that's like "make, thrift, or buy?" (or something like that) where you basically take either a super popular clothing piece like the skims dress or just any item in general and then see whether it's more worth it to buy, make, or thrift.
you could buy the piece, try to make it, and then also try to thrift it!
Gotta give credit where credits due! @annika Victoria came up with this idea and has a full series on it!
Mia as a plus size girl I am so so thankful that you have included us!
I thought it was great! Very interesting too.
Same! Xx
I thought it was so nice that she included the cost break down for the 4XL as well! I wondered myself since i wear a medium usually and didn’t know you could google how much fabric it takes!
Shes such a great thoughtful person
She's so accepting of other things to it makes me so happy :)
Tip for fluffy fabric: my mom made for my grandma fluffy pants from the fluffy blanket. She literally bought blanket big enough for king size bed that was fluffy on both sides and made them. Even the blanket wasn't too expensive (like 15€ maybe) and she made 3 pairs of pants. Later I've seen similar pants for the price 15-20€ per pair
So smart!
that's what i was thinking, from under a fluffy blanket
Made a fluffy cape out of a fluffy throw blanked. Works great.
I was just about to suggest trying a fluffy blanket instead !
Thrifted blankets no matter the fabric are always great to use to make garments because you get a lot of fabric for cheaper.
I love how mia doesn’t stay to the exact same type of content. her content varies based on her current interests, and we keep watching no matter what!
She's actually the best!
Fr I literally want to get a sewing machine all because of her lol
To be mentioned as a larger person in a video made by a xs person means more than you can imagine Mia! It feels so good to be included in something that we are so often left out of. :) you are so kind hearted and inclusive, I love love watching your videos, you are so sweet
As a plus size gal I just have to say I really appreciate how much effort you put into being inclusive, it seems really genuine and it’s just not something I see in many content creators. I even notice little things like you never presume someone’s pronouns when you’re talking about an Etsy shop or anything like that. You make it seem so effortless to consider the different types of humans in this world, yet it’s so rare to see it done. Thank you and keep up the good work!
Just wanted to come on here and give a little update on the sewing machine giveaway.. I was REALLY hoping to have it all sorted out in time for this video.. but unfortunately there was a last minute snag 🥲 I promise that giveaway will be coming so soon, we already have a sewing machine company willing and lined up to take part in it, now it’s just handling the legal end of the giveaway! Please stay tuned that should be live before the end of May 🤞🏻🤞🏻I love seeing your comments expressing an interest in sewing.. I’ve had so much fun on my sewing journey and I can’t wait for you to have the opportunity to get your hands on a brand new machine and start your sewing journey! But alas it’ll just be a little bit longer.. thank you for your patience and I love you ALL 💖🫶🏻💖
Yaaay super excited an thank you for inspiring us to do more
hi! i was your 4th view on this vid and i subbed! i got there in 15 seconds! and i love your vidd!! i have never been replied to so plz reply miaaaaaaa
Thank you Mia 🥹❤️
Mia thank you for being an inspiration, when you posted the video about the giveaway, and I entered since then my grandma gave me her sewing machine that's an antique from when she was a literal child. This year for eid I stitched mine, my mother's and my grandma's clothes and had so much fun, cleaned the machine up and it was so much fun. It's a wooden base, with hand handle, I wanted to tell you because I know how much you love grandma things ❤❤❤❤
I'm very excited mia😍
Anyone else would love a bathing suit sewing video? One pieces that are long enough, bottoms that have enough coverage, tops that can withstand jumping in waves and a new and improved beige suit!! I can't believe how good these pieces turned out. Mia, you're the proof that good things happen to those who refuse to give up. I just love your videos :)
Yes!! I would so love a suit that actually covers my butt.
Have y'all seen Micarah Tewers' swimsuit video? she makes it very approachable! I tried her method and made bottoms that I really like
Omg yes!
@LadyNightsong I’d love one that is wide enough in the crotch and a one piece that’s long enough to actually wear
Sounds fun!
You should make skim pieces for your mom and prank her saying they’re from skims and see what she thinks!! That’d be so fun to watch!
As a 3X lady, the fact you took that bit of effort to figure out the plus size comparison, and acknowledge that it’d be different but still cheaper. That is so sweet of you.
This seems to be a sign to get out my sewing machine and do the projects I've been avoiding.
Yesss!!!
If it doesn't cause you stress liken it does for me go for it! I was supposed to finish a couple things today but I was extremely tired from today's morning. I woke up early went to uni and during lunch I went to do the grocery shopping and came home with around 20kg of stuff. So I couldn't bring myself to sew that one buttonhole and the three remaining buttons. Oh well I'll do it tomorrow morning.
You've got this!
The price difference is incredible and like huge props to you for finding out roughly how much it would cost for a bigger person to do this its so cool that you are so inclusive and always find a way to make everyone feel welcomed and appreciated no matter what!
Pro Tip!!!
Use a zig zag stitch when sewing stretchy fabrics! It’s allows the fabric to stretch and move without as much risk of the stitches ripping/coming undone.
Love that you are getting into sewing, Mia!
As someone who has sewn for YEARS, girl...this is AMAZING! Some people are afraid of sewing, but it's really fun and cost effective. Thanks for showing everyone that they can do it too.
Mia has gotten so good at sewing, I am so proud .. I just remember her first getting into it and how far she’s come.. as a newbie in the sewing field I know how hard it can be to learn and she’s been an inspiration 🌺
Mia should prank her mom again by reviewing clothes that were actually sewn by Mia... her skills have improved so much i can bet Mama Maples cannot tell the difference!
“Boyfriend Tshirt for $69” 😭😭
I read it twice 😭
Mia genuinely gives me the confidence to think I can sew and do renovations
She makes it all look so easy 😂
You can do it! It can be tricky at first but the more you do those things the easier they get! They joy I get from my home diy renos is so worth the effort I put in! I also love being able to tailor my clothes if they’re not quite right
You can do it❤❤❤❤❤
The fact that only 3 years ago, Mia made a cloud pillow, that was, Ngl awful 😂😂. Seeing this is so insane how good she got, I’m so proud of her! These products look so nice, if you put them side by side, I would totally think hers was the original. Love it!
As someone who is plus sized, I am so impressed that you listed the price for making a 4x too!
I love this new direction, bc even if it's not the goal or intended, hauls always boost the brands and fast fashion industry. And I just love how you turned into advertising second hand and now doing these pieces yourself! Hope to see more of these videos
I’m really so inpressad with how much you have improved as a seamstress and your fearlessness. I work as a pattern maker and has previously worked as a seamstress and I am so impressed how you just take clothes and trace them and it actually looks good. I think my mindset is a little bit more strict from my formal education but it is so much fun watching your videos! Your passion really shines through. Good job! Please never stop doing videos like this!
hi, Mia! the way you switched to the more sustainable AND affordable lifestyle impresses me the most, hope other bloggers get inspired to follow your steps
I had no interest in sewing clothes, but you were so confident and encouraging I COULD make that bodycon dress that I now want to try it. :'D The power of your positivity is over 9000
Mia's editing has been peaking for a while now and I'm enjoying the look of the videos soooo much. Our girl always improving in all fronts 👏👏
Thank you so much for including us plus size people, we really appreciate it!
This series reminds me a lot of the Make Thrift Buy series Annika Victoria used to make where she would compare different options for getting a clothing/accessory piece. I love it!
I knew this would be a good sewing video the moment I saw the title😂 You make the craziest of things look easy to make! Teach me your ways😭😭😭
Hehehhe I will absolutely teach youuuuu!!!🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
This is my favorite thing ever. Please make this a continued series! I feel so inspired to learn to sew
ok but we need to appreciate Mia for working sooo hardd
Can we all appreciate Mia's talent?? We need Mia's clothing line ASAP 😅❤
Dare i suggest... teuta matoshi
LOVE LOVE LOVE that Mia considered the price for us plus size Queens. So thoughtful and realising that we all have different fabric metre needs!
You really have a gift with sewing. You make it looks so easy and not even using patterns, amazing. It is not as easy as you make it look.
Mia is such a beautiful person, I love how she included how much it would cost for plus sizes acknowledging that her size is obviously cheaper.
I absolutely love what this channel has become 😍. The sewing and home renovation content is everything.
MIA!!! Please do more ASMR videos. You were such a natural. Literally, if you were to make a separate channel dedicated to ASMR, I bet it'd be such a hit.
I don’t think you’re an amateur. You sew amazing things 🤩🤩🤩
Does anyone else agree that Mia makes sewing clothes look easy!
I love that your pieces are cuter than the originals and less expensive even when taking your own time into account! So inspiring. I’d LOVE to see more videos like this! ✨
Id love to see you do like fabletics or some well known athletic brand workout clothes. The price are always out of my budget and they are always something Id like to try but I’m intimidated. I feel like if you could do it so could I. ❤️ Also THANK YOU for doing the plus size calculations! I know that as a plus size girl I can appreciate the conversion. Nobody ever seems to care or think about how conversions can affect pricing for us.
You should do more sewing videos! I have a cool idea for you. You could make a jar that includes different styles and vibes of clothing, pick one out like once a month, (or however so often), and make an outfit of it! You could even do giveaways if you wanted. I just started sewing and it’s so cool to watch someone else do it. I feel like I learn so much! And especially it being one of my fav UA-camrs? So cool. Love you Mia and all that you do
Gosh the work she puts in to the actual video she's filming, the editing, she is so so talented and hardworking
I love what you're doing here. Showing people that they have economical options to fast or over-priced fashions is exactly the content we need.
This girl can have her own shop, she is talented Please blow this up so she can see this cmon let’s all agree that she could make millions on her beautiful work.
I love how Mia is so considerate, she gives us all the little details that take so much work!
she is the best!. love u from Israel !
Mias just too good from sewing to reviewing she just has everything showering us with amazing videos she just seems like such a kind and outgoing person love her ❤
I have to say, I LOVE how amazing everything you make turns out. You encourage me everyday to try and make something new and step out of my comfort zone. From glueing your clothes to sewing amazing pieces. Now, when it comes to comparing prices... On one hand Skims probably pay cheaper for fabric from buying in bulk, on the other hand when making it yourself you're not calculating paying for the design nor anything else that comes with marketing, website costs, employees, etc. But I think it's neat to know for how much you would be able to make the piece yourself.
i adore you. the size inclusive cost comparison is something everyone should do but they just don't. thank you for being considerate
My favorite part is seeing Mia’s different styling choices for the pieces
From watching Mia do clothing hauls to now sewing clothes herself and walking us through all she’s learned… we love to see it🤩🫶🏼
Mia ,I'm a 57 year old Canadian living in Cambridgeshire England. I so enjoy watching your videos with you and you and your mom . You are a girl anyone would be so proud to have as a daughter/family or friend. Having travelled quite a bit in my life ,I have to say ,there is something different ,genuine and unique about Canadian girls and Canadians in general. Canadian girls ROCK!! 🤘🇨🇦😘
I’m 9months late watching this but want to tell you I’m finding your context great. Interesting, informative, very genuine and real and love your natural beauty looks. your momma is adorable too x
I used to watch my grandma sewing, one day i asked her if we could sew the skirt . WE DID. I was 13 probably. She died couple of years later and now i dont have anyone to sew with😢 im holding on that skirt with life❤️
I can't believe how far your sewing skills have come! Every single one of these pieces look amazing!
For these types of videos I think going to the fabric store is a better choice. Just for keeping things... like, the same?
What I mean is not everyone has a thrift store near them with fabrics. All the ones near me don't supply it. But I feel like everyone is able to find a fabric store relatively easy.
These videos remind me of my mom that use to saw replicas of popular pieces of clothing for us when we were kids and it was the time of inflation. All our childhood photos we are dressed like from the magazine thanks to that woman's hard work and desire to provide for us in hard times. She also used to by fabric from thrift store, but not fabeic by meter, she used to buy big shirt or dress with the pattern she liked, take it apart and reused it for several new pieces. The literal 👑
I’ve always thought skims was way too expensive for the price haha! Love this series!
i'm loving this series! I'd love to see you recreate some pieces from Reformation, I love their style but the prices are quite high for me!
I love how Mia has been sewing for years and she JUST broke a needle for the first time, whereas I just started sewing with a machine this year and I’ve broken more needles than I can count-
Also side note, glasses were a good plan XD when the needles snap like that, they can come flying at your face. The tip of my needle hit me right under the eye once so 😬👍
Sewing is not a talent it is a skill that ANYONE can learn.
Well done!!!
All the pieces came out so great! Would be interesting to see if you could do swimwear at home that isn't see through, maybe like the skims one or like the Kylie ones but with more layers of fabric or more fabric in general
This is amazing, Mia!! Love that you just go for it in your sewing ☺️
If you want a tip (or not-sorry♥️), to easier trase a T-shirt or sweater, just trace one side and fold that side over so it matches up perfectly! Not that you didn’t do a good enough job, you really did! Just thought it would be helpful for another time ☺️
Just wanna say, I started to watch yours videos when wish was a thing, and used to love those "expectations vs reality" shopping videos. However, I kind of grew up with you and now I can really appreciate the value of a nicely done clothing, even better a hand made clothing
So thank you for that, thank you for being relatable and open to personal growth 😊
I really hope you keep this up and learn more about construction, pattern drafting and finishing stitches! Honestly some of what you pay for is the skills involved in these things, so that the final product is more durable, uses less fabric and lays nicer/bunches less. Honestly if you do these and replicate the fast fashion brands you’ll probably make higher quality items! Starting tip, fold your fabric across (left and right edges together, so that both sides of a piece are identical! Especially helpful for sleeves.
LOVE YOU MIA! THE WORLD NEEDS MORE PEOPLE LIKE YOU
Please do more of these videos if you can!!! Also I know it’s a lot to ask but if you could go slightly more depth about how you’re sewing the pieces so we can follow along at home I would be eternally grateful! Love you Mia❤
EDIT: PLEASE do an in depth video on making pants bc it’s so confusing to match how the leg pieces are supposed to go together and where you need to sew them
When I was living in the mountains in the North of Vietnam in a black Hmong village, I made a garment entirely for the only time in my life. From growing the plants, make the fabric, growing the dyeing plants, dyeing the fabric, making the pattern, sewing the fabric + the hours of embroidery work. We didn't make the threads and needles, except when we needed silk thread, we would make it from silk fibers that we didn't make but bought.
I love that video, the fact you added the time of labor in the price, but it would be super interesting to make a video including everything that is needed into the process of making a garment.
making a pattern and making fabric are time consuming tasks that are not included in the final price of the video (which is normal since it is addressed to people making their clothes while having access to fabric and already existing garments), but in the case of a hypothetically store bought piece of clothes, the price should contain all of this. I think it would also be interesting to compare the price of all those steps if we paid canadian wage and compare to what the companies pay for fabric and garments in less developed countries to acquire it.
Also I would like to share a youtube channel I really like, where this girl makes garments, furnitures, food, etc, from scratch. She is called Li Zi Qi and it is really amazing to see
Thank you for outlining all the costs of materials and labor that really go into creating a finished project because a human being or environmental resources are involved at every part of the production process. When we devalue labor and fair production processes, we all lose.
@@LikesLimes Thanks for appreciating :)
Thank you for also including plus size pricing! We love an inclusive thoughtful gal 💕
I absolutely love your videos like this. You're making me feel brave enough to try stretchy stuff. I've got 30 years of sewing under my belt and I've always hated stretch fabric but now I figured it out
She is so dedicated to deliver
She goes over and beyond on everything which i personally admire ❤️
Mia I think I’ve said this before but you literally have inspired me to start sewing (as soon as I can afford a sewing machine lol) but I am all about being cost effective, trying not to buy fast fashion and be as sustainable as possible and I can’t wait to get started!!!! Thank you for these videos.
Mia i lost my momma 5 months ago to cancer on my daughters one month of being born seeing your vidoes with your mom makes me so happy to watch and brings back my own memories! your videos are a reminder never overlook your momma shes not here forever.. Love you and momma maples
I love this! My suggestions for a future video are either Lululemon or Free People 😍 I've actually done my version of a FP pullover puffer as I couldn't get myself to spend that much on one. Found some fabric in the charity shop and made 2, one for me and one for a friend of mine.
Yessss I'm loving these recreation video's and it's so great you're including the information your fans want. Hourly wage, plus sizes of fabric, all of it, even if its not applicable to you. Its so great! Thanks Mia, keep inspiring people! ❤
Oh my gosh this video literally was exactly what I needed today! Mia was so considerate for subtitles on the video; that makes watching the videos so much easier for me as a hearing impaired person!❤ and all the clothes were so adorable✨💕:)))
Cotton jersey underwear is my favourite to wear! Love making my own undergarments
Edit: I know a few small businesses who sell double sided Sherpa and it’s so soft and fluffy. Pricey but still worth it
I love everything about this! When I saw that you were adding the wage in it I thought “well if you want for self it’s the same to add it or not because the money saved is for yourself” but then taking in consideration that it is a brand that not only pays for fabric and thread, I do kinda understand prices now that I have a business myself. You do not only pay for fabric, wage and thread, but tags, a place to make them (like an office or ware house or factory idk) plus all the equipment, furniture, light, etc. also they pay to have a website on, packaging and some of them include a bit of the price of shipping. I understand the concept of the video and love it and agree that if you can’t afford something you can diy, I just think we have to consider all I said above before going on saying that something is increible expensive if we don’t actually know all that comes into it even if it’s a billionaire who’s making it
Exactly. Because people need to understand that small brands have to charge even MORE than large factory manufactured brands to account for even less economy of scale.
Watching Mia‘s sewing journey has been incredible! She is so good at making clothes now.
Mia you are just a Jack of all trades, you go girl‼️🫶🏼
Love these sewing videos! I would love to see a resurgence of all of us making our own clothes!
P.s. would love to see lingerie (fancy corset top style) x
Day 1 of asking for you to recreate some of Harper from Wizard Of Waverly Place outfits!!! you DEF have the talent to!!!!!
I believe in treating yourself from time to time your celebrating 🥳🎉 11 years you deserve it. You and your Mom deserve it your both a breath of fresh air. Keep up the great work.
I’m starting to sew again after a long hiatus and I am always so happy to see Mias ideas and sewing projects! Now I need to go find a good sewing machine :)
Thank you for being so size inclusive. As a plus sized woman (trying to lose weight), sometimes looking at stuff like "Skims" can be disheartening. ❤
Almost got me with the title 😂
Heheh mehahahahhahah
I love watching you sew things and seeing the results. You’ve come so far and have gotten really good 👏🏻
'Alas' means regretfully, it's so cute how Mia always uses it to mean something good.
It would be cute to see you design a label for your clothes ❤
Awe! I just broke my first sewing machine needle a few days ago too. Doesn’t it kind of feel like a rite of passage? This video was so helpful and inspiring. As a single mom who can’t justify spending $$$ for SKIMS, this was the video I never knew I needed. Thank you 🥰
Thank you Mia for your love of thrift stores and how it is healthier for the planet! You make me want to try sewing for the first time!
You make it seem so easy and I KNOW that is because you’ve put in the hours to learn. We’ve been right there with you. You’re just so awesome
It was interesting to see adding the wage. Though to me it doesn't make sense to go for minimum wage since it is a skilled job. So yes I understand the trouble with adding it to the price. Just giving information how long it takes already helps.
Agreed that this is skilled labor and it’s not just the base wage, but also benefits and payroll taxes, that are included to have a true comparison of costs for any responsible manufacturing company.
Agreed! The whole purpose of adding the wage etc is so that when you are looking at a price in the store you’re considering that it’s not just the cost of the materials that make up the sales price. It’s someone’s livelihood, marketing, and business costs as well. That being said- I’m all for making it myself for much less if I can, so I understand where Mia might wonder about including the other costs for retail purchase when she wasn’t making it to sell.
Love this, but I LITERALLY can't sow 😢
Mia, videos like this demonstrates how you can have the "same" unattainable items as everyone else....... but with bragging rights❤❤❤
I love sewing. Im not all that great but so enjoy it like you, After the invest of a sewing machine, you can make items that maybe out of your budget affordable.
Watching this video while sewing : it's just perfect !!! You're making sewing so simple and accessible to everyone, and i really like this approach. I LOVE YOUR SEWING VIDEOS, thanks for doing that :)
Hey Mia, adding the cost of the hourly wage is to make your estimated costs more accurately equivalent to Skims. Sewing *is* a fun hobby for you, but when Skims prices their items, one of the factors is the wages they must pay for the workers who make their clothes. It's kind of nit-picky when you're just doing it for fun, but on the other end of the spectrum, people who make clothes as their livelihood have their skills and services undervalued when the idea is perpetuated that it should ONLY cost what materials you use. I know you yourself are not saying that, but people look at sewing videos and expect tailors and seamstresses to work for less because they see this idea on social media.
Yes!! I made a very similar comment at the exact same time you did and I wholeheartedly agree!
To add to that, the hourly wage for sewing is, and should always be paid at, higher than minimum wage! Minimum wage jobs are for unskilled labor, work that you can literally show up with no experience and still do a decent job, and sewing is definitely a skill that needs experience to learn and do well, as demonstrated by Mia herself.
💯💯
