I love your green shoes!🥰 Itching to sew now
Love the 'I ain't got no time for that' approach. I'm a beginner and may give this a try. thanks!
@@PiepMiau04 I'm not a beginner but as I've gotten older, I've lost most of my patience. Karolina makes it look pretty stress free🥰 now I'm itching to sew again
I can’t believe you don’t have a Murphy ironing board.
Like a Murphy bed hiding against the wall.
"Bruh, look at this skirt I stole."
"DO YOU REALIZE WHO YOU ROBBED? NOW THE CURSE IS UPON US!"
And she's immortal, so it's sure to haunt their family for generations to come
@kayenjay, one can only hope!!!
She's not the babayaga, she's the one you call when you need to dress the babayaga 🔫
@@lesacapatate2949 LOL!! Excellent!! (Early Keanu Reeves pun)
Stealing Karolina's clothes has GOT to be a John Wick-style origin story
Oh yeah. Don’t mess with our Karolina.
I would see all the sequels 😂
I think Karolina should do one of her versions of this. With her as a Victorian/Edwardian June Wick.
I can’t wait to hear the story of the stolen clothes, for sure.
I think it was past-Karolina that found a way to timetravel and get her clothes back from present-time-Karolina who took them from her.
Lol. I was more interested in the story, then the sewing tutorial, but oh well 😅.
It was during her vacation this summery she posted about it on Insata. Someone broke into her car and took all the bags. So fucked up.
@@ZebraJess92
Uh, that's bad 🫤
I was hoping for some kind of funny incident, but that seriously sucks.
@@ZebraJess92 Whoa. Somebody risked catching a felony to steal those clothes instead of stealing them off a clothesline or out of a dryer like normal thieves.
Sewing tutorials: You MUST press! You MUST pin! This is how you prep your darts! Sew two rows of gathering threads to make the gathers ✨even✨
Karolina: I am an agent of chaos and you can be too
When you understand the rules well enough to break them is a sign of mastery in your craft.
😂😂
I certainly ain't there yet .
Seeing Karolina NOT pressing and pinning the hem of the skirt triggered my ocd to an entirely new level…😂🙈
I recently did this with a set of 1940s underwear. 100% chaos. But looks really good when you don’t see the insides
“Seventy-four was the year I met my love…”
Time traveler Karolina remembers she’s in 2023 and that song hasn’t been written yet
Its incredibly foolish to steal clothes from Karolina, considering she is paranormal SCP who shouldnt be underestimated
😂 Iconic!
Immortality and time traveling to name a few of her abilities
Karolina, you are definitely a rock star. New adopted phrase, “Go bazooka on you.” 🖤
I have no intention of ever sewing a skirt, I just like to chill with Karolina.
I dig it; maintaining parasocial relationships with various social media figures as a desperate means to ward off the awesome and terrible pain of existence is just about the only reason I have for carrying on, tbh
@@ethanday9502Samesies!
Her vids are like hanging out with a friend lol
Buttons and mending holes are the extent of my seamstress endeavors
I used to sew but Karolina is so less stressful. 😂
lol, "the sewing police ain't goin' to get me" is officially my new wall slogan.
It would make a fantastic cross stitch 😂

@@liav4102 I was going to comment this. The need to faff around and design something is growing...
It's too bad that Nord VPN couldn't prevent your skirt being stolen. The new one is cute as heck!
hiding extra fabric *in* the garment in case you gain weight is honestly so genius, didn't know people did that
Yep, my grandmothers and mother did that. Especially for children's clothing. It means that you can just let out the hem, when the children grow and you don't need to sew new clothes.
Ample seams and hems were the standard practice for the old school dressmakers where I grew up so that clothes could be altered. I can't count the times I watched a piece of clothing get "taken in and let down" for a slimmer, taller person than the previous owner
It used to be the standard. Even (good) modern shirt manufacturers do that, so the costumer can fit the garment to their body.
Thank you meme mom for giving me the motivation to put buttons on my 1890s split skirt which I absolutely have not been putting off as the last step lol
I have been there, procrastinating for half a year, but you can do it fellow sewist. May the Sewing Gods (and motivation gods) be with you on this lengthy quest!
You are so real for this, I always put off buttonholes
It seems like every sewing youtuber I follow was given the same blessing that allows "let's just hope for the best" work out nearly every time xD
* COUGH * Micarah Tewers * COUGH COUGH *
What they show us worked out..😅
it's the experience that makes omitting some rules easier :P
I m not a youtuber but certainly sewing like that 😂
I'm a boy. I don't wear skirts. I don't make skirts. But I watched the whole thing - all way through to the bees. I enjoy your posts!
Boys can wear skirts bro.
@@maxschreck9988 kilt!
@@maxschreck9988 Totally. I'm all for it. I just don't have the right shoes.
@@charlibrown7745 sure, a kilt. But they can also wear skirts.
@@greggschroeder i just go barefoot
Been making garments close to 20 years now and have avoided zippers the entire time (tho I can hand-sew a buttonhole). Love your laissez faire attitude to installing the devil's teeth.
Thanks! Cannot easily replace the sewing labor or the finished clothes stolen but can help to replace the fabrics. look forward to all of your next videos
All the well wishes and love support you
Karolina singing '74 was the year I met my love' and casually dropping hints of her time travelling. Was it 1874?
I think it was just 74
Nah it was 2174
It took me 17 and a half minutes into this video to realize why I was loving it so much: Karolina here has the exact same energy as the adjunct professor who taught the single sewing/garment construction class I took in college- it was a non credit, just-for-fun summer class and, thanks to costube and the matriarchs of my family, I knew pretty much everything she was going over already, but it was great to have a whole class of people working on projects together.
which is all to say that I fuckin love this video and your 'this isn't what i was expecting but here we are' kind of attitude in it, Karolina
Will I sew a skirt? - Probably not.
Will I watch a 20min tutorial on sewing a skirt? - Absolutely!
Seriously f the people who stole your clothes. I hope that every time they’re about to fall asleep they realize they have to pee and are forced to get up for the rest of their lives. And every time they do get up, they stub their toe HARD on the bookcase. The skirt looks gorgeous and you seem to have a great attitude about it… much more generous than I’m feeling towards your thieves. ❤
I know Karolina has a... relaxed attitude to ironing, but is ironing on a sofa cushion normal?!
Gotta iron the curves or whatever. Then again I iron on a sheet on the floor…
@@makeda6530 Beds are good too.
Depending on what I’m ironing, yeah. Also if you don’t have an ironing board cushions come in handy. The couch can always use a good steam, y’know?
I had a giant ottoman I ironed on for a while, I’ve also been known to layer a couple towels on the table and use that too. It works but you want to be careful and it’s better for “I need to iron this real quick” more so than “it’s laundry day let me iron this entire basket of clothes”
Ya its normal
I iron everything on the bed..
My bf irons stuff on the floor sometimes - now that is not acceptable! 😂
When I was a teen in the 80s, I used to wear my mother's old 50s skirt, which looked very much like that. I have no idea what happened to it. Did I throw it away, did it get lost in a move? If I still had it, I would still wear it. It closed with hooks, so I could have probably adjusted it. I mourn its loss. 😢
The fact that this skirt looks as fabulous as it does is a miracle! In 54 years of sewing garments I have never seen a skirt put together like this, especially the gathering of the waist! I guess we'll call it The Karolina Method! 😉
I agree! I only have about 3 years experience and I was still in awe with how it turned out! You have to have some pretty good skills for those techniques to end well😅 it’s be a mess if I tried it😂😂😂 and so would my sanity!
I started my sewing hobby in my teens by doing like Karolina does, cutting corners, and I did plenty of gathering of fabrics like this. Obviously realised how poor quality that made the clothes look and I stopped, lol.
Will I ever sew a skirt? No. Did I watch this whole thing? Yes. Did I get stressed about sewing in the wasteband and gathering the skirt? Yes.
I don't know if they say it there but in the US I've always called it "stitch in the ditch" where you top stitch in the seam on a waist band
"and hope for the best" is how I do most of my sewing projects
My grndmother was a seamstress and tailor and now I understood something. Elderly people don't use hairnets just to be super brand elderly. It was literally da thing in 1945and they still be stylish. Cheers Karolina
I highly recommend the Bianca (tm) from A Closet Historian method of zipper insertion. It's super easy, clean and has never caused me problems.
Her sewing is overall top tier tbh
I have been binging her the last few days. This was...the opposite of her tutorials :)
I read a book once called The Blessings of a Good Thick Skirt: Women Travellers and Their World by Mary Russell. Inane comment, I know, but that is what popped into my mind and I couldn't think of anything else ... . It was a pretty good read. Anyway ... whatever ...
Nice skirt, Karolina.
I'm always on the lookout for a new book, even from inane comments on RUclips. Thanks for the recommendation!
@@adedow1333 You are very welcome. Very cool that my inane comment informed or aided someone. Pretty good book, well-written account of womens travel adventures and challenges. Good read. Enjoy!
@@adedow1333me too! I'm off to track down this book 📖 ❤
Ooh, I always engage with inane book suggestions. 😁
Totally going to read. Thank you.
this is such a sweet tutorial and it made me feel like i had someone teaching right beside me "and ill show you what to do" was honestly very comforting as well lol
It really was. I don’t even have a sewing machine but I caught myself trying to commit the dimensions to memory
Yes! It felt very doable and the result was great!
I just made my very first skirt the other day. I was searching all night for a tutorial for my next skirt and never found one. This video is just what I was looking for. Thank you so much!
I can really recommend this video by Gretchen Hirsch if you would like even more tips for sewing a gathered skirt!! She really goes through every step slowly and clearly, I used it to make my first skirts too and still go back to it. Her gathering method is just genius too. ruclips.net/video/AM_B5_I_Rkk/видео.html
@@emmastu97 Thank you!
The video found you 😂
I want to see a collab video with you and Bernadette Banner, working side by side while critiquing each other’s methods, 😅💝 with her exacting fastidiousness, and your “off the cuff” improv style, that would be awesome.
Also! My queens, don't forget to add pockets! It will add ten minutes to the project, but you will thank yourself later! :)
Chaos sewing with Karolina was strangely therapeutic. Love the skirt!
I love how you sometimes just wing it. It's sooo reconforting for my sometimes perfectionist/anxious self who admonished myself or just don't do the thing cause it won't be perfect. I see you improvise or choose the easiest option because it doesn't need to be perfect, and it ends up looking good and being satisfying to do (and watch it being done). It's encouraging !
thank you for the instruction and for remembering us plus sized gals.
Ik, it was so thoughtful!
"is it even? absolutely fucking not. BUT is not gonna show. the sewing police ain't gonna get me"
how I wish my grandma had taught me to sew like that 🤡
Same!!!! LOL
I still remember my mother (an excellent seamstress) would embarrass me in public and chain stores by commenting on how terribly uneven hems were on an item of clothing.
i was a fashion design major, ive seen some chaotic shit, but i have NEVER seen someone gather fabric like that. you can literally just do a loose straight stitch (like 8 stitches per inch, don't know the euro equivalent) across the top of the skirt and pull on the bobbin thread to make a quick gather. (in school they tell you to do 2 lines of stitching, but theyre all liars, you can do it with one) it takes five minutes and then you dont have to pin in "halves" onto the waistband. the only time i would use the "half" method is to put in pleats.
I would’ve put the skirt fabric on the feed dogs and held onto the waistband on top, myself. Let the differential do the gathering.
I quarter off the length that I'm gathering, then use however many micro-darts are necessary to do the job. Oddball, I know, but I like the finished results.
I keep hearing this is possible, pulling the thread to gather, but no one ever explains how to do it! So you just run it through the machine like normal, with both threads, and it’s pulling the bobbin thread that makes the gather?
@@KristenK78 loosen the tension on your machine too. You want a loose straight stitch. And leave the tails long. Its like youre pulling out a seam, but dont cut the threads. Or do a running stitch by hand and pull the thread and shimmy the fabric down.
growing up before the internet, and not having the luck of being able to go to school for fashion, or having people to learn from.... it's kinda just what you figure out on your own.. and it works... and you learn. And now we have RUclips!
I love the attitude of YOLO, profanities in both languages and the final result running away from the sewing police 😂 I'll probably never sew a skirt in my life, but I still had a great time with you! Pozdrowienia z Krakowa ^^
Karolina made sewing a skirt look so easy! Time for me to give it a try. Someone stole her clothes; how sick that person must be!
I too “feel adventurous” and “hope for the best” when sewing, almost every time. Rockstar things I guess!
Oh jeez, I thought her talking about people "stealing" her clothes was some kind of joke and not literal, but no they really broke into the car and took the suitcase and bag of clothes, books, and sewing stuff. 🤬I can only hope Karolina is big enough that enough people can be on the lookout to get the stuff back.
why did the lighting in the ad read make Karolina look so angelic 😭
I’m so shocked that someone would steal your clothes! Your style is so distinct, idk how anyone else thought they could a) pull it off themselves or b) sell it for profit without authentication papers of some kind.
they didn't steal for her clothes. she left her luggage in the car in a tourist spot and someone broke into the car and stole the luggage
Pro tip for everyone who sews, you absolutely do not need a gathering foot, all you need to do is set your machine for the biggest straight seam possible and increase the tension on the tread, run a stitch on the fabric you want to gather by itself, then you put the already gathered fabric on your waistband and sew them together, if you want it to be gathered tighter all you have to do is pull on the tread and hold the fabric ❤
the "ATTENZIONE PICKPOCKET" lady becoming a meme after Karolina's clothes get stolen? coincidence? i think not. (joke)
wow how thoughtful of them to take your skirt when you were going to get rid of it (obviously they did it so you don’t feel bad ;)
Not Karolina using a zipper foot for the whole project. 😭
Gods i feel your pain with american-centric internet :/ this fabric is so cute, i kind of miss times when yourubers linked source of their materials 😂
MERICA!!!just kidding,yea I bet that does suck.
I think you have cured my sewing anxiety with this video. Your project looks lovely and you didn’t almost cry making it😂
Most enlightening point in this video is 12:40-12:42 where we find out how the Netflix sound was created
I love how it hits just below your knee. That's probably my favorite length skirt.
Did anyone else become anxious watching Karolina’s slap dash sewing? Super cute result. This is a reminder to just let it go.
tak mnie ucieszyło Twoje jedno niecenzuralne słowo w tym filmie... taki mały ludzki element podczas szycia. nasze babcie też na pewno klęły nad swoimi maszynami. pozdrowienia z Krakowa
I can’t imagine a person who doesn’t swear when he sees that he sewed without a thread.
Worse than this can only be opening the seams))
Me when I realized I have sewn on meters of lace at the hem of a circle skirt in the wrong way fml
Drama queens swear at minor annoyances.
I still remember with delight the first time I heard my grandmother swear when she dropped a stitch in her knitting…
such a pretty skirt; and the pattern works so well! I have some zipper-related trauma (machine sewing through my finger trying to put a zipper on) but I might attempt sewing this skirt for myself.
So, that's where the Netflix intro sound comes from!
Okay, but seriously, that's a beautiful skirt! I've been wanting to make one for a long time, but I have never sewn such a big project before. This has encouraged me to make a skirt on my own.
Another easy method for gathering is to run a zigzag stitch along the edge, then run a strong thread (buttonhole, crochet thread, yarn, whatever is laying around) under the stitches. Anchor it on one end and when you pull the strong thread it gives you nice gathers you can pin down and stitch in place. A lot fewer broken threads than running basting stitches along a long edge, too.
This is the exact energy I needed as I hack a foot of ruined skirt off and re-hem this dress
This is.... so helpful?? Not in a way that as a beginner I should follow the tutorial in such a lax way but... just taking the perfectionism and tossing it out the window? You're like "pff whatever it will work somehow" while I don't even know where to start when sewing because I have no clue about sewing and always thought there needs to be everything done right?? Thanks for this. Pls do more. I'll try to make a skirt once I have time 😤
Best idea that I've seen about inserting zippers: baste the part where your zipper should be, sew the rest of the seam. Press it. Then put the zipper like it should be inserted, closed, with the seam still basted. Sew it from the place where it meets with the rest of the seam to the waistband. When you can't sew because of the pull, stop, sew another side. Then take out basting stitches and open zipper, sew the parts on the top, there you go, maybe it took way longer than it should but it apparently works every time.
I love the addition of an extendable waistband!!! Thank you for this 💚
we love a good simple skirt. i laughed so unexpectedly at the iron-netflix comparison, which is bad because post-surgery yikes. worth it though.
Last week I made my first sewing project, and now this video comes out, how perfect!
First, I'm sorry your clothes were stolen 💛
Second, you made this skirt so quick that really motivates me to get over my mental hurdle to sew a skirt.
However, the one thing this skirt needs is pockets!
I was surprised to see a modern sewing machine, I was expecting an old Singer.
The skirt looks awesome, the fabric matches so well with your style!
I’m just getting into sewing and all the “rules” were a lot for me. Thanks for showing that you can still make something quickly in a day and it looks great! I’m inspired to break all the rules!
It's comforting to know the Sewing Police will not get me for uneven hems 😅😆
This just so totally triggers my seamstress soul but I absolutely love it. Btw, stitching the waistband down from the front just below the seam is called “stitch in the ditch” which always makes me giggle.
I love this. This is very ADHD sewing 😆😆
TBH... I thought the pattern was hideous until I saw the actual skirt lol. It looks great!
I’m sorry about your skirt thievery. Loved the new one, though!
Sewing the gathers was giving me flashbacks to when I worked for a company making graduation gowns. We had to use curtain tape to make the gathers and sewing through that was hard work.
My home ec teacher grew up in the depression so she taught us to use cheap masking tape for gathering. She was all about finding the cheapest way to do everything, a wealth of knowledge ❤️
I love how chill this is! As someone who has never really sewn anything historical (or really anything at all) for myself, I find that a lot of the tutorials and other videos of people sewing here on RUclips can be rather complicated and black and white (so much so that it feels impossible to even try), but this one it feels like I might actually be able to do!
Most of what K. makes I'd never wear myself, (maybe after a few beers), but you/she inspires me to sew some camping/travel bags I've had in my head for a while now. Maybe some clothes too later on. I'm no novice to the sewing machine but it's been a while. My mom's Singer from my childhood is at my sister's house. Not sure how old it is but I think late 60s; still going strong. Like riding a bike. Just got to get a feel for that foot pedal.
Completely off-topic, but every once in a while (like at the end of this video), you remind me So! Much! of my paternal grandmother & her two younger sisters (all born in the mid to late 1920s). They are/were all tall and slim brunettes like you. And their hairstyles were quite similar to some you've worn.
I love watching people just throw shit together and seeing it come out amazing
Wow, things have come full circle for me. I made a very similar style of skirt back when you did the stripey sewing challenge. That was my first ever handmade clothing. It fit really poorly and the buttons fell off and disappeared, so it got recycled, but I still fondly remember my frumpy little skirt that started it all.
i'm so confused about the stolen clothes i need more info... like, did they only steal certain clothes? do you know who stole them? how did it happen? getting the popcorn for the follow up video for sure
after reading some comments it honestly sounds so scummy, i don't know why anyone would steal someone's handmade wardrobe but i hope they're dumb enough to get caught
My record is 25 minutes to sew a skirt. A mum was picking up a Mary Poppins costume in 30 minutes for her 10 year old daughter, but I was not happy with the skirt.
I had heaps of fabric in my stash, so that was not an issue.
I was just finishing the hem when she turned up.
That is the most chaotic way to gather, but I am here for it!
You could go modern with this. Have one long rectangle (made from as many panels as you like) pop Velcro onto the waistband at select spots and be done.
Omg. Your attaching of the waistband is exactly how i tried to see the skirt onto my barbenheimer top!
No way they stole your clothes 😭 don't they know you're a powerful time traveller??
That was a super user-friendly tutorial!
Me and my sister in law sewed this very type of skirt, but according to a pattern following instructions. Took us a few months, several tries/re-doings and slight change (pleats instead of gathering) 😂🙈 Well, we also put in pockets. But I guess those changes would have taken like 10 min extra for Karolina! It took us a bit more than half an hour to get basically the same result 😂😂🙈🙈🙈
I'm sorry your stuff got stolen! People suck! I know what it's like to lose clothes that are important to you (my parents told me to put a bunch of my stuff in their 2nd garage and didn't tell me the roof leaked... vintage Jordan jersey got ruined, I'm still mad) - hope this helps a bit!
thank you! ❤️
I love your sewing style! This is literally me too! I will just sew and hope for the best 😂 that's the only way I get things done. Because done is better than perfect 👏
YES QUEEN. This is the tutorial I needed for my sewing journey. I need the secrets of more less measured yolo sewing techniques like that. Also after like 4 years of following you I heard you cuss in Polish and it was the funniest moment ever because at this point I expected that you never cuss.
Recently scored some great fabrics at thrift store. One for Snow White, one for Alice, one for Jasmine and one for... a red and black villain. This video will definitely be useful . Thanks!
The nextflix “tudum” made me laugh so hard 😂😂
Love the pink and red combo of your first outfit! Very 1940s/ 1950s!
Cute fabric. All my clothes were stolen too. From my storage locker. My hand made dresses and Beautiful classic designer linen dresses, jackets, to my ripped jeans and t shirts. Being low income, and not abke to just go buy new things, I cherished them. I started sewing new clothes, but really miss my wardrobe that took decades to aquire and tailor to fit perfect.
I like your videos. Fun.
this is exactly how I sew anything... and then everyone sees the finished things... and they are like, "oh wow! you are a sewing genius!"... And I'm like... O.O ... if they only knewwwwwwwwww Glad to see Karolina encourages everyone to be so chill about it: ) That's the attitude! : )
I made a similar skirt when I was pregnant, but somehow ended up doing 3 panels. To fit a growing belly I added a drawstring at the "waist"
It ended up huge, but really comfortable.
The new skirt looks amazing on you! Thank you for sharing the tutorial 💖
I am a beginner sewer trying not to be a perfectionist as I’m learning. You made me lol as I watched and your relaxed attitude towards imperfections was so nice. Thank you for this video.
I have never related harder to a sewing tutorial in my life - I feel so seen 😂
Chaotic sewing ftw
Have you seen any of Rachel Maksy's content on youtube? Think you might enjoy it if you like the chaos.
Thank you for actual instructions🙏🙏🙏
I literally just bought fabric for a simple skirt, my first ever from-scratch project, and this has been soooo helpful ❤
Okay, I really like the larger waist band! Love the fabric!
