One creative Kim Kardashian West fan has found a cheaper alternative to buying items from the entrepreneur’s shapewear brand SKIMS by recreating some of the products herself.

On Wednesday, student and influencer Kheumani Stevenson took to social media with photos of a three-piece pajama set she says she sewed herself. Stevenson said on Twitter and Instagram that she made the set from a $25 blanket, and was inspired by three SKIMS pieces that retail for a combined price of $268.

“I heard Kim K charging $250+ for this set & I just made it for $25 out of a blanket I got from Walmart,” Stevenson wrote on Twitter. “You’re welcome.”

Speaking to Insider, Kheumani Stevenson said she aimed to recreate SKIMS pajamas for a cheaper price

Though SKIMS sells numerous loungewear pieces on its website, Stevenson was specifically inspired by the brand's new Cozy Collection, which she describes as being "very cute and creative." In particular, she saw herself wearing the brand's $52 Cozy Knit Tank, $88 Cozy Knit Pants, and $128 Cozy Knit Robe.

However, she didn't love the price point of each piece, and quickly noticed that other Twitter users felt the same. This motivated her to "recreate the look for a cheaper price," she said, as she set out to find an inexpensive material that matched the soft fabric of SKIMS pajamas.

"The SKIMS pajama set reminded me of a cozy blanket, so I knew that would be the best material alternative," Stevenson told Insider.

The influencer documented her sewing process on YouTube

As a self-taught seamstress, Stevenson said she knew that sewing the pajamas would be easy enough for others to recreate.

So, rather than keeping her sewing methods to herself, she filmed the process and shared the footage to YouTube in the hopes of inspiring others who can't afford the real thing.

Though it might seem complicated to create a pajama set and robe from scratch, Stevenson proved that it can actually be quite simple. For example, she used clothes she already owned as a template so that she was sure her new pajamas would fit.

"I used a crop top, pajama pants, and a robe from my closet," Stevenson said. "Using as many existing supplies as possible helps to reduce the cost of the recreation."

People seem to love Stevenson's DIY pajamas, and so does the influencer herself

Stevenson told Insider that she's "only had a chance to wear the pajamas around the house a few times," but she does intend to keep wearing them.

"It's very warm, cozy, and perfect for the cooler weather," Stevenson said of her pajama set.

On social media, the influencer's photos have gotten a lot of attention. Stevenson's tweet about her pajamas, for example, has received more than 373,500 combined likes, retweets, and replies. She's also gotten more than 12,000 likes on her Instagram post about the project.

Some people have even been inspired by Stevenson's work to recreate the pajamas themselves.

"I've been upcycling sleeping bags, blankets, and old clothes for a few years now," Stevenson told Insider. "But after I made this pajama set, I definitely received the most compliments, comments, and inquiries."

"A lot of people said they want to recreate the look, but I receive more inquiries about buying a set from me!" she continued. "I got an overwhelming amount of messages and tweets. I'm so grateful and excited."

Stevenson now hopes to inspire other people to create their own clothes

Though the influencer has yet to hear from SKIMS or Kardashian West herself, Stevenson said she still loves "Kim K., her products, and what she represents in the fashion industry."

Stevenson also shared some advice for those who wish to create their own clothing.

"My tip for anyone who wants to recreate designer clothes is to add your own flair - so that it's an inspired look versus a replica," she said. "And always give credit to the designer that provided you with the inspiration."
