It's prom season you should do a video about fixing cheap knockoff prom dresses
maybe if I found one at a thrift shop :P
BekensDwarf my prom is friday
Annika Victoria I thrifted a really cute one for under $2!!!
Or second hand ones, people are always selling bridesmaid or other formal dresses
I thrifted my prom dress, it is vintage (from the 40's)
Your dog looked like she was so embarrassed, it was adorable!! Keep up the good work ☺️
I know! Poor baby.
panama880 I know right? so cute

As I'm doing an masters in Textiles I feel like I have some authority on the science. I don't want to put you down by saying its really not complicated but it is also ridiculously simple. You've heard of polyester, well that's a thermoplastic polymer and the most common polyester in textiles is PET (poly(ethylene terephthalate)), there are other types like PLA (poly lactic acid) which is made from corn. The science of PLA manufacture is more complex than converting PET bottles into PET fibres.
PET bottles are made of the same polymer as PET fibres. All you got to do is collect the bottles, chemically clean them, chop them up and melt them down. Then you can melt spin them and extrude them as fibres. This is a common process for polyester apparel fabrics cause it is cheap and also there is a degradation in polymer strength, meaning you cannot recycle them back into PET bottles but you can recycle it into PET fibres for apparel fabrics. Chances are that thread international is just using a lower linear density (finer fibre/yarn) of PET than other manufacturers. It won't feel as scratchy as an acrylic because its not an acrylic. It may seem a bit superficial to say these don't feel the same because they are different fibres but that is a surprising amount of textiles, different fibres offer different properties especially in terms of comfort.
Also thank you for pointing out that cotton is not a sustainable fibre. Cotton agriculture uses 25% of the world's pesticides and 11% of the world's insecticides. It likes to grow in climates that are hot and dry, these often have the low annual rainfalls but guess what cotton needs a lot of? You guessed it water. To grow 1 kg of cotton you need 20,000- 40,000L of water (how much water we need in our entire lifetime). If you think organic cotton is better because it doesn't need pesticides and insecticides you'd be wrong. Organic cotton requires 1.5 times the land and 1.5 times the water to grow the same amount of cotton. The Aral sea an landlocked sea is almost completely dried up due to it be used to irrigate cotton.
For my masters I had to do a lovely charming essay on cotton dyeing and let me tell you the textiles industry is terrible. 70 - 150 L of water is needed to process 1 kg of cotton, at least 70% of that water gets contaminated with effluent aka dye stuff and salts and if not treated will damage water ways and can be carcinogenic. Sometimes in the case of direct dyes or reactive dyes the way that they treat it makes it go from not great to toxic to a definite carcinogen. By making the effluent colourless by breaking down the dye molecule and releasing the azo bond. Which is really really bad, but don't worry about 60-70% of factories don't treat their water.
So yeah cotton is terrible, polyester in many ways in terms of environmental impact is better. If you want to have a sustainable cellulose use viscose or lyocell. They are much better for the environment, also you probably own some clothes that contain viscose as my lecturer who worked in cotton mills said they often put viscose in as chemically they virtually the same.
So yeah, thanks for reading my textiles rant. Also cool skirt.
+pippylunalove 🙌🙌🙌 thank you for this super thorough comment!!! I appreciate it so much! ❤❤❤
omg longest comment ever
that's awesome - I feel you though with being in college and being informed on the most random things and wanting to teach the world without coming off "bad" - it's especially bad when someone starts to argue incorrect info and you have to "pls no I'm using science and knowledge, don't confuse the people"
very tired sorry - good luck on any finals!
Thank you so much for this!!!
+1:08 Thank you for taking the time to shed light on the tragic event that killed many of my brothers and sisters. May they rest in peace.
My condolences to your loved ones. Rest in peace.
~ Pegasister J
Ayesha My condolences. I apologizes for how horribly my country and others treat your people and others. It's a broken system.
oh nooo the pupper was so sad and looked so guilty awwwwww
Correction: Rana Plaza collapsed in 2013, not 2011 (I got my dates mixed up). Also, I did forget to mention in the video - you can create additional slits, for example if you wanted 2, by cutting straight up the skirt where you want the other slit to be... and then you can hem the edges of it like I did in the video, or just leave them! 😘
Annika Victoria love your videos!
What if you wanted to change the end of the skirt? Like make it like a leaf with the slit? :O
Annika Victoria Hey annual on which part of the site from fashion revolution did you find those pictures? I'm doing a report on this topic and I can't find it
+Dulce G Which pictures are you referring to?
Annika Victoria the one's about how much water is used for a cotton t-shirt?
"Maybe youll finish that sewing project youve been meaning to finish for years" why you gotta call me out like that
stevie craven ahha me
And me!
I looked at my sewing project in the corner next to my desk at that point... I started it last year, I'll finish it this year.
My friends have a company they started in late 2016 after graduating from the London College of Fashion called Know The Origin. The brand was designed with transparency in mnd and to get people thinking about where their clothes come from. At the moment they only do basics but all the clothes are sustainable and ethical and it's just an all round good brand for completely transparent fashion so it's a good place to check out if you're looking into more sustainably sourced fashion brands.
Ah, it's so cool! I love it, thanks for sharing :)
Bruh when her dog tried to pee on the fabric 😂😭
Binni DEAD LOL
Aww I love how your pup felt so bad about her mistake, even though you weren't even mad at her. Poor doggy! Who's a good girl? She is! She's a good girl, yes she is!
+Beatnik hahahahaha, she sure is!
I had no idea that clothes used that much water and produced that much carbon! Jesus. I'm gonna start making my own clothes.
Shaea right??! It's mind-blowing!!
Annika Victoria and I still don't understand how 100% recycled plastic can become a fabric. 🤷🏻♀️
+Shaea “Fat2Happy2017” I guess it's being melted into a yarn-like string, gets mixed (twisted?) with some cotton and gets woven into Fabrik like a regular cotton or polyester yarn.
Shaea someone left a great comment explaining it that I've pinned to the top of the comments page on this video if you wanna check it out ^_^
Annika Victoria ah, I kind of understand now! Thank you!
Beautiful to know that Haiti is being given more opportunities to become more economically stable.
50% recycled bottles?! that's wild!!! i need this in my life omg :O
Right?! They even have some which are 100% plastic and I'm like ~I don't understand how this is still fabric~
But it is, I have a sample of it and it BLOWS MY MIND
Annika Victoria is it still pretty soft? I'm curious in buying it :0
Well polyester is plastic too
unfortunately clothes made of plastics release microplastic fiber's into the ocean as they are too small to be filtered by sewage treatment (similar to micro beads which are now banned)So even though it sounds better for the environment, it's really not. There's no winning with plastic 😔
When I was growing up, we went to thrift stores for economic reasons. Now that I'm in college and making a bit of money, I still go to thrift stores, primarily for environmental reasons
same here :)
(and like, it's just more fun too? I get so bored in regular stores haha, I don't understand them - there's no challenge involved!)
i love thrift stores sm bc you can find some really cute and name brand stuff for super cheap and you aren’t impacting the environment as much as buying brand new clithes
I thrift because I'll be the only out of 20 people or more wearing the cloth. I don't do trendy.
The dog was so sorry and super cute! It's never a dull moment when there are pets around.
I love that you are so dedicated to reducing pollution, mass production and making the world to a better place! Love your videos
I'm going to a thrift shop today! I havnt been before but I thought it would be a good option for the enviroment and apparently th clothes are cheaper? So yay for me lol
I HOPE YOU HAVE SO MUCH FUN! I have a thrift shopping guide/cheat sheet which you should definitely watch before going! (It's got my mum in it, if you go to my channel page and look in "vlogs" it should be in there!)
Im not sure what that is but i will look at it before i go lol. thanks!
Here's the link to the video! th-cam.com/video/ikmSm0qLPXE/w-d-xo.html
Thanks!
We learned about it in AP Environmental Science, I don't know if this company does this, but basically they shred it down ( or do something else???) and create plastic like flakes which is like a plastic fiber ( literally like plastic cotton ) which you can spin into a thread just like regular cotton. Its a great thing and really helps protect the environment and people from MELTING plastic bottles because although recycling is good, plastic bottles are made up of petrochemicals using different types of like chemical makeups (something like that?) and when mixed together can potentially be hazardous to not only humans but the environment. It also uses less water because its not creating the plastic and growing it like you would with cotton, its simply just recycling it :). Its super cool! Forgive me Environmental Science majors if I got some information wrong!!
THANK YOU for talking about the ethics of fashion!!! I see so many youtubers absent-mindedly shopping in stores like that and it's encouraging to see someone bringing up the implications of supporting fast fashion.
I'm making a jacket for my friend for a cosplay and because of your thrifting tips video I managed to get all the materials I needed from my local thrift shop! I'm pretty sure I'm making all of my costumes this way from now on.
How does one look good in a long skirt? Whenever I wear one I always end up looking like a 4,7 pencil
I don't know what a 4,7 pencil is but it sounds cute, therefore looking like one would also be cute ;)
+Annika Victoria Hahahah Annika your awesome
Annika Victoria I think she was saying a 4 foot 7 inch (4'7" pencil)
I love mine but then I Hate showing my legs so....
As a short girl myself, I can attest to long skirts just eating me whole. If it's printed it takes over everything else I'm wearing. And, if the fabric is too soft, it'll show everything... O.o
ideas for scrap fabric DIY: making patches or labels!! 😱❤ just for your own pride when a piece is really pretty or when you give clothes to friends etc 👌
Mégan Saumure Bourgeois that's an awesome idea! And you could hand embroider your name onto the patch/label :D
I love the fact that you make "mainstream" DIY clothes,, but also try to educate people at the same time!
That fabric is amazing! I can't believe it's made out of plastic bottles. That just blows my mind.
Hey, I noticed that Thread International has some dye-ready fabrics. I'm not sure dying fabric is something you're interested in, but I would love to see it, especially since their fabrics (while very cool) don't come in that many different colors/patterns
yup yup yup! I've just got a new place that has a large laundry tub perfect for dying stuff in :D So I'm super excited to get into some dying now!
Annika Victoria DIY tie dye?
GeminiStargazer yessssss
I wonder how that would work. I usually see completely different dye types used for cotton versus polyesters. If a fabric is 50/50 I would not be sure which to use. I guess if I can buy the fabric I could just ask the folks at Threads. But I am currently too broke.
I saw that they have fabrics ready for dye, that's so awesome for custom colors! I'm definitely going to follow this brand closely. So affordable too. 8 bucks a yard!
I really appreciate you dedicating a portion of your video to discussing important issues regarding the wellness of fellow humans. It was refreshing to hear and very informative.
I like how u educate people about workers exploited in third world countries. You're not about likes and subscribe but more about making this world a better place. You earned a new subscriber 🥰
reading some of the comments makes me proud of the fact that I'm looking forward into making fair-trade, environment-friendly clothes and that I mostly buy used garments for myself except on some occasions (i'm still working on the balance between money, sustainability etc.).
THANK YOU for showing us Thread International. I've never heard of it, and I'm already in love. I think it's amazing what they're doing, so I will definitely be purchasing from there. You're awesome!
Thanks to this channel I've been "updating" old clothes
this was probably the only sewing tutorial video i’ve ever been able to actually understand lol. i loved this sm!
If you can't afford $8 a yard fabric plus shipping, would thrifted fabric/sheets also be a good, sustainable option?
I would say yes, since it's not a new item coming from a manufacturer and because it's thrifted, it's saved from being waste.
Yes! :D Absolutely! I get most of my fabrics from thrift stores, often the big ones have a haberdashery section. I'd say that secondhand fabrics from your local thrift store are probably the most sustainable option out there!
Also how cute would it be if you put a zipper down the slit that way you could keep the slit but if needed (i.e. You want a look from day to night) you could zip it to cover up a bit more
Sarah Werner I say do it!
Sarah Werner
yeah, and make it an invisible zipper, so the seem looks sewn together and it isn't tacky looking.
Sarah Werner zippers in stretch fabric that's this lightweight will be tricky to keep flat and clean, but it would look cool!
Your trick for sewing waistbands by matching the pins up has helped me with many a project!
I'm definitely going to be much more conscientious of where I get my clothes. I'm learning to sew and this makes me that much more motivated to make my own clothes.
You should make the plastic top shop "jeans" next (because you love working with that "fabric" so much 😂 😉)
she made them a month ago!
Nob Ody oh no, there's 100% plastic top shop jeans out now. Yes really 😭 you have to see it to believe it haha
AnarchistOwl go big or go home right? Lol
DollsKill has a pair for $210 from Brashy. :x
Thread International is SO cool! I was expecting the fabric to be super expensive (like everything else that is created/ grown responsibly), but it's really affordable! I've never heard of TI before this video, but I don't think I will be buying fabric anywhere else from now on
I'm obsessed with you !!!! Please never stop these DIYs! 💖💖💖💖💖💖
It's insane how many clothes people have! I've reduced my wardrobe recently to about a quarter of what I owned and donated the rest to refugees living in my state. I was completely floored by how much I actually had, yet I still felt like I never had enough! I can comfortably live with and maintain a quarter of what I had. Donating clothes and reducing my wardrobe has also affected my shopping too. I don't shop much anymore because I've been appreciating my wardrobe so much more. My in-laws accept clothing donations from their neighbors and they get hundreds of pounds of clothes. It's wild how many clothes are never used and go to waste.
Thanks for sharing about thread international! I've been looking for places besides thrift shops where I can buy fabric responsibly.
My first time watching a new video with a sewing machine 😭🙌💖
This may be your best video ever! Thanks for all the Eco awareness info and the great new graphics. My sewing machine arrived today and I bought based on your inspiring work. I recently made some stuff (using my neighbor's machine) out of thrifted and style pile materials after watching your videos. Now that I have my own machine I can try making some of the things in your tutorials. Will keep going with the thrifted stuff and will also check out the Eco sites and TI. You rock with your sew self!!!
ROFL thank you for leaving in your dog's accident. It made me feel so much better about everything that has happened since we became indoor cat people. They pounce on patterns while I try to pin them down, and for a while went on a spraying spree in my craft room (yes, they're fixed). So much extra fabric washing! UGH. Anyway, a lot of times I just give up and take my projects to my parents' house but that is really inconvenient. Between my 5 year old and the kitties it seems like there is no way I can make things anymore.
OMG YES IM OBSESSED WITH YOUR VIDEOS I ENDED MY CALL WITH MY MOM BECAUSE I GOT THE NOTIFICATION IM DEDICATED😂😂😂
Omg you're the best hahaha. Sorry mom.
Annika Victoria IM DED. THANK YOU!!😂
Panic! Is so sOft aNd nEat oh my god your name is the reason im still alive
Liz Troods thank you😂😂😂
didn't think i could love you any more than i already did, but then i saw this video and discovered a whole new level of appreciation for you. so i just wanted to tell you: you're fricking awesome!!!
You four pin technique is the best technique i've seen to sew waistbands/elastic bands! 👍
Honestly, I absolutely love that you caption all of your videos!! it makes it really nice and accessible for people like me who can't hear properly! thank you so much, annika!!!
Mikaela Watson No problem, accessibility is really important to me out in the physical world as I have a chronic illness & mobility issues, so it's really important to me that my content is as accessible as possible too! ✨
Your tummy is so cute! I love how you're so unapologetic about being bopo and a #babewithamobilityaid ! You're such an inspiration to a ton of people ily!🌸💞🌸
can you diy miu miu ballet lace up flats? loved those but ugh the price
I love scrolling threw the comments on Annika's videos. She answers so many comments and tries her best to get everyones questions answered. And I don't sew or anything and have no plans on doing so but I still love to watch her videos
+Harmony Elyse ☺❤❤❤
Aww :3 See thats exactly what I mean. Annika you are such an amazing person and a huge inspiration! I hope you never stop making videos!
You're videos inspire me so much and I love what you do, teaching others how to sew and shining light on fairtrade clothes and disabilities. I can't wait until I'm as good at sewing as you are. Keep doing what you're doing! 💜
While viewing the photoshoot(?) I kept saying "free the knee" am I ok
Rainbowz and Unicornz whahahah awesome 😂😂😂😂
The math part gave me nightmares 😂😂 but it turned out really cute
One of my tricks is looking for non stretch fabric in the bed linen section of thrift stores. The fabric tends to be really nice and I always find some really cute colours & patterns!
I always wanted a skirt that has two slits cause I thought it would look cute but when I find one it's so expensive. I watched your videos a while back, but not when you first started, but I'm hooked. I love watching your videos and I now thrift and sew a lot of touch ups to fix them.
i hope hemp fabric becomes more easily available
When sewing a waistband, first sew together the ends and then the sides, this way the seam that connects the circle will be inside the waistband and won't be visible.
juuduubify - ah, that's right, thank you that little tip! After Annika finished the skirt I was wracking my brain trying to remember how to make the waistband clean on the inside like that. I know my mama taught me that trick, but it was *years* ago. TYVM 💯
juuduubify whoa! You've blown my mind! I will definitely try to remember to do that next time! Thank you ☺
I super love this skirt. Your silly puppy. oh goodness. I love that you didn't let it upset you. Just clean up snd keep going. smiles
As a Californian from the Bay Area, I love that she said "this is hella wasteful" lol!! Annika is life
You should pair it with a matching color top like a sleeve less turtle neck shirt then high top sneakers like converse then some long necklace with only 1 charm in the middle and some space buns for hair♥️♥️♥️hope you try it out
HaanChiii I actually love this outfit idea! I should make a top like that from the remaining fabric!
HaanChiii I'm not sure exactly what you mean but I'm picturing Chun-Li
Annika Victoria thank you♥️♥️keep up the great work
GeminiStargazer yup
*tapping* alright lets go on a walk *much faster more excited tapping*
I love how you're always bringing awareness to the fast fashion industry!! So inspired 💖💖
I'm so glad you're investigating better fabrics for us all :)
I've watched too many math videos here on TH-cam and a lot of your circle skirts, so every time you say "two times pi" I just moan, and shout to myself "Just call it tau as that's what it is!" 😂😂😂
Benedikte Johannessen ;)
Notification squad ❤️
The effort you put into your explanations and diagrams really shows!! Thank you!!
You’re a great teacher and very easy to listen to! Awesome video for beginners
My college graduation gown was 100% recycled plastic. I was almost too scared to iron it.
Terry Simson Did you make it or buy it?
I bought it. It wrinkled like crazy even though i only used it once
OMG YOU NEEEEDD TO MAKE DOGGY CLOTHES, NOOWW!! PLEAASE!!!!! THERE IS NOT A SINGLE DOG TROUSERS TUTORIAL ON THE INTERNET BELIEVE ME IVE LOOKED FOR ONE LAST WEEK BUT I COULDNT FIND A HELPFULL ONE! LIKE I ACTUALLY KNOW HOW TO MAKE HUMAN THINGS THANKS TO YOU!! SO PLEAAASE!
(((im sorry for screaming but i got so exited when i saw your dog pee on the fabric lol i had to make my dog trousers bc of a little tic problem and i ended up making a decent pair but it was a butchers job. i wanna do thEM AGAIN BUT GOOD PLEASE HELP!!!))))
BillieMariKate lol lol I didn't know dog trousers were a thing. I've actually made a dog sweater before on make thrift buy, though!
Annika Victoria yees and you did an awesome job! please do mooore! also cute dog please pet him/her for meee ♡♡
this is the only Chanel that legit gives me good sewing advice. annika if you see this, I want you to know you're the reason I successfully made a shirt from scratch. thank you so much for everything you do on your channel!
Victoria makes everything look good ❤✨
Go thrift and you'll never go back
"go thrift shopping with friends that have never gone thrift shopping before" if you've never gone thrifting we can't be friends, its a rule
Don't be like that.
Take someone on their first thrifting trip, help them find things. Introduce people to this fun hobby.
Trust me it'll be more fun in the future.
you explain everything so clearly! It's so very helpful because it takes me ages to learn/follow anything due to brain fog, especially if it involves any form of maths, however simple. So yeah, thanks for being an awesome teacher ha.
Awww! Ella felt so bad! What a sweet puppy!
watching your channel has made me try and be a smarter consumer about my clothes. now, most of the clothes I buy are from thrift stores or made by myself (with fabric purchased from thrift stores). and now I know where to get amazing recycled fabric!
keep up the great work!
Whenever I cosplay I go to the thrift store for everything. Right now I am using two shirts to make one, a recycled jacket, salvaged sequence and more. It's cheaper, easy and good for the environment. Only downside is looking for the right materials lol
+Owlface S. downside? More like a challenge 🙌 (but yeh I totally feel you it's frustrating not being able to find the right material for months!)
I am so surprised and flattered you replied!!! You made my day
Omg that actually turned out way nicer than the pictures shown in the start 😱
Aw she was so sorry about that - I could tell! Bless her little puppy face!! Xx
I love both your projects and your pupper omg what a good doggo 😍😍😍
I am absolutely gonna try to buy as much fabric as I can from thread international! I expected their fabric to be a bit more pricey but only $8 for a yard is amazing!
I'm not a sewer at all but I found your channel and I find your videos so interesting! I am just in awe and wish I was that creative! Very cool 😎
I love all your videos. I watch them once i’m in bed at night they’re perfect to wind down with for the night
Aw, your little doggie is so adorable! That guilty look was so cute!!!
You handled your dog's accident so well! I know so many people would have yelled at and punished the dog. You are a great dog mom!
Some ribbed jersey is awesome for cleaning glasses. You can take some of those scraps and cut them up into squares and give them to your bespectacled friends. That way, fabric is staying out of the landfills and something useful is being made. :)
Due to supernova coming up, and I'm the only one in my family who can sew, I've been making all the costumes for myself and those who want to go. I always take my family out to op shops when first getting materials, seeing what fits and what we can modify, it's super fun and really cheap; also helps out the community. After that I go through fabric I do have and make as much as possible from it, this year it was a pleated shirt, 2 bandanas and a tunic. Stuff like this is not only fun but great for the environment, makes a day to go out and find hidden treasures, I completely recommend!
Thank you for adding awareness! I don't purchase clothing made outside of the US and shop at thrift stores because of this. I also am very inspired by your DIYs! I plan to get a sewing kit in a year and make my own clothing as well!
Amazing video. Eye opening and inspiring to change the way people shop. Not just about diet. Nice one!
OMG I made one like this a few weeks ago with linen and a fancy zipper to close it above the slit! Great minds think alike!
imgur.com/gallery/BAzx9
I love the lace outlining the zipper, so cool. I love circle skirts. Was yours a circle or an A line?
Thanks! It came like that, a novelty zipper I saw in HL and I couldn't stop thinking about it. And it's a quarter circle skirt, which kinda turns out like an A-Line, but with a little flair, like Annika's! If you wanted an A-Line look, it would be a really easy way to get it.

Adding lace to the slit(s) would be cute/fancy as well as the bottom ofc
To be honest Annika is the only youtuber, that actually shows her mistakes and fixes them, shows that we don't have to be perfect. She makes me feel more motivated and comfortable to try project even if they fail! usually all other channels, they seem like pros so I always feel like I would never be able to do the same, but Annika makes it look fun and easy to try new things!!
You look so good in that skirt, girl! And environmentally-friendly too, wow
Yaaas! I have been wanting to make a slit skirt, but I just started sewing a couple weeks ago, but now I know how!
You must put a lot of effort into these videos so Thank you for taking time to support the things you stand for and teaching others to do the same x
I'm so glad I found this tutorial. This is my first time trying to sew actual clothes for a costume. My design had a slit in the skirt like the one in the video, and I'm dead set on making it out of stretch fabric because I like the drape and the way it feels. I thought I was gonna be stuck making a regular circle skirt but now I don't. Thank you for being awesome.
that fabric should be produced MUCH more, it's such an amazing idea. :O
I think it is so important to talk about this issues! I recently watched "the true cost" and im terrified about the problems in the fashion industry till now. Congrats for the beautiful skirt and thanks for remembering this subject! I love your videos, kissess from brasil
I also have a shirt recycled from water bottles and it's actually pretty awesome fabric.
