Oh my heavens! I can't stand that anyone would tell you to stop doing something on your videos! Your videos are my most favorite, most waited-for videos, no matter what style they are! I love the variety of your videos! I love the details, I love the heads up on sales, and mostly I love your personality! You are always so fresh and genuine and fun, and always gracious and encouraging to all us out here, your devoted fans and friends, even if we are somewhat anonymous! Please keep following your heart and be true to yourself! And if Colin's still involved, I vote that you trust his advice! 😁💜
No no I want to see all the fabric close up and the patterns and the plans and the fashion show at the end!Gosh I love your videos just the way you make them.
I have to stand up and shout above the naysayers! WHAT?!!!! No hauls? NO NO NO! What is the matter with people? There are way more of us that want to see fabric and patterns than those who don't. Whomever would rather not see them can just move on and not watch. Never bow to the trolls. Just delete their comments and move on. Holy crow what a find! I was watching with my jaw on the floor. WOW. I don't blame you for wanting to just sit on the sofa and read instruction sheets! I do too! These are amazing. You ran across a few things that made me drool. I'll need to watch a second time to zero in so prepare for a second comment below this one. It's the season for sewing frustration, I'm convinced. I have 2 things I made in October. Two. TWO! One is still sitting there half torn apart for the third time so it can be fitted correctly. It's just a skirt but dang that's frustrating! Have a great weekend, my friend, and know that there are far more people that love you than don't. ❤️❤️❤️ Pay no attention to the people behind the curtain. They probably don't even sew and if they can, all they can make is curtains! 😉
OK second time through. 9276 - love. 9432 - that offset zip, so cool! 9257 - I want that pantsuit! 9372 - love the princess seaming and in-seam pockets and that zip up the side back. 4803 - adorable. So many variations. 9358 - "seamed to slim." Gimme some-a that. Love that big bow. And the Advance dressing gown. Makes me want to have people over for cocktails just so I could wear it. (those would be lemonade with cherries - lol). What a find. Good for you.
Don't listen to the nay-sayers! Personally, I love the fabric haul videos. They give me inspiration and I like to see what you are planning to make with the various textures/colors. Been watching old "Green Acres" episodes and you should see the 60's outfits that Eva Gabor wears! I see them in these patterns here. Beautiful!
Wait. Wait. I’m not through your video yet but have to pause for a minute. I love your poems. I love the way you hold fabric up to the camera. It’s like I am shopping and get to see all the teeny tiny details and nuances of the fabric when you do it like that. In fact, after I found your channel, whenever any other sewer does fabric hauls they NEVER show the fabric up close, as if to say “here you can glimpse this fabric from a distance while I describe it to you.” Irritating. I always think, man, VivMom could give them a lesson about how to care about your viewers more than listening to the sound of their own voice. All this to say your content AND methods of presentation are top notch.
But now we don't know how much you paid, what kind of fabric it is, how much you got, what you are going to do with it... You have almost 20 thousand viewers. You got them by doing what you are doing, don't stop now. We love having "time" with you. This is your channel, do with it as you please. Hugs!!!!!
Whoever is telling you not to show your fabric is wrong! We love you to talk and show each piece and tell us what you might make with it. We love your fun personality and chit chat... don't change for anyone... be yourself! Hugs
Almost 20,000 people adore you for who you are and what you bring us. Don't let the naysayers influence you to change too much. My mom passed away recently and I have 6 or 7 copy paper boxes of vintage and older patterns going back to her 1958 wedding dress! It looks like she combined two patterns. So fun!!!!!
Don’t listen to the nay sayers! You do what you do! I love seeing all the fabric and patterns and hearing you describe them. If someone doesn’t like it, they don’t have to watch. Please don’t deprive those of us who love everything you do, poems included. You are a lovely person through and through. I truly enjoy ALL the videos you have made.
I never write comments but I have to say I love fabric hauls, I love the way you say how it inspired you to make a particular garment! Your titles tell viewers what’s coming and you can swipe right at any time ! Geez Joy slurps and you can’t show fabric? Ignore the haters! Thanks for the entertainment you provide for FREE!
Do not, do not ever change who, what, and how you are. You make my day when I get to watch you. I laugh, I cry(from laughing), and then I run to the bathroom. I love Vivmom you always smile. Just keep on making and I'll keep on watching 👀, especially fabric hauls.
Do I ever remember seeing those patterns advertised in the papers and magazines back in the day. Was too young to buy them but even then I drooled. Good buy there. Too bad we didn't get to see more of the fabrics. Don't understand the comments against this. This was part of your site from the beginning and you have gained subscribers based on what you're doing. Viv, we love you; don't change!!
I love watching your fabric hauls, your pattern hauls, listening to your poetry, and everything else about your videos! Don't change because of a few unhappy miserable nit-picky people! Like so many of us have said before and we'll continue to say, we love you just the way you are! Trolls, scroll on, or don't watch! Love you Viv!😊👍❤
I am so sad. You are the sweetest person on utube. You are always so fun. Your videos make me laugh. You have such a cool personality. Don’t let them dampen your spirits. I can tell by looking at all these posts that they love you just like I do. I loved your great haul from eBay. Boy that brought back lots of memories. Hearing some of them made me chuckle. Thanks for the good times.
I am a historian and was working on my Masters in archiving focusing on historical household records, SO this video made me squee like I just saw my first kitten. This is right up my alley! If people do not like your content they don't have to watch. There are many sewists blogging of all different varieties to please everyone. I enjoyed the poetry, personally I lean towards the videos that are more spontaneous and a little different. Others prefer things to be very structured and narrow. There are channels like that (lets not talk about my time sink in You Tube lol) for them that prefer that. :) Negative public commentary is the number one thing keeping me from starting a channel, so I am not trying to say it doesn't suck to hear, but I think more of us like you exactly as you are judging from the comments and likes :) About hubs shirt, could you just try sewing a new seam from the hem up the arm on both sides, or would that make the underarm seam way too mangled to be comfortable? I hate when I make those kinds of mistakes (often). Relish that awesome matching job on those curtains. I made sheers once and swore I never would again. I have learned a few tricks though, so, never say never. :) I just had a friend drop off 6 five yard pieces of various jerseys and thought *I* was swimming in new fabric! Wow, that is an astounding haul. :) Also, I vote you snuggle on the sofa and read your new patterns for at least an hour.
There’s a lot of great patterns in there. When you say you ave been getting pushed back on hauls and;elms and things, do you mean people who watch your videos? Because, I actually sit patiently for your fabric and pattern hauls, as well as the however many looks in as many minutes.
Those old advertisements are a hoot. The patterns are great. I always love your videos! Please don't change, if someone doesn't like a particular video they just have to skip that one.
It’s not the same!!! I love watching your fabric hauls and what you feel and say about each piece. You have such different fabrics than we have here in Australia. It’s hard not to take on the negative comments but the positive ones definitely win out! You know what? If some people don’t like your fabric hauls they don’t have to watch........🌹❤️
I just read all the comments so far on your video. Are you feelin’ the love? Sometimes people are truly amazing. It seems unanimous that we all love everything you do! ❤️
just wanted to say as other people have. Do not listen to them, I love hearing you and checking out everything you do. And mostly I do get a kick out of the fact your husband gets involved. My husband was so negative towards my hobbies, it was very off putting. I did not sew for about 15 years because of his negativity. He was a person if you could not eat it forget about it. Continue please. You make my day when ever I listen and watch your show.
I don't understand people that don't like a channel and feel the need to complain. If you don't like something there is a way to NOT Watch! Move ON! For goodness sake people! Personally, I'm bummed that you didn't show your fabric and tell us what your plans are for each piece. BTY - now Brad has a super-nice sleep tee-shirt!
I love when you give the history behind the patterns and share knowledge with us! Don’t change anything you have been doing. Love it all! Don’t listen to those individuals who want to tell you what you should be sharing in your videos. Those of us who watch you love your videos just the way you present them. You always make me smile 😃.
I just love those prints! It’s all beautiful! You are in charge of your channel, do what you want to do. I personally enjoyed the poem and thought you quite talented. I also like to see the fabric close up. I think the negative people can find other channels to watch, please don’t change who you are, you are what makes this channel stand out. Thanks for all you do!
I wish people would be nice. I look forward to all of your videos and enjoyed your poem. It left me wanting more of your humor. What a haul girl, you better get sewing!!
Don't stop the hauls! I am TERRIBLE at choosing fabrics so watching someone demo the type of fabric, the drape, the stretch, etc. is really beneficial to those of us who live in areas where online shopping is our best option. I'm not especially fond of vintage patterns, but I watched all the way through because you are delightful to watch and I enjoy your enthusiasm for something you love. IT'S YOUR CHANNEL!...do what you want! And in the poem spirit: If you don't like to watch a haul, you don't have to watch at all. :)
Wow! 😍 What a haul,! Patterns and fabric! I hope you slowly go over each when used, made or whatever! Don't relinquish the reigns of your sleigh! Keep bringing the goodies! Colin's curtains came out great! I'm having decorative pillow troubles. Ha! It's always stuff you think will be a breeze. I love what you're wearing!
Vivmom, this is your channel with thousands subscribing! I love the fabric hauls as I have learned tons! I'm getting back into garment sewing and it is nice to see the different fabrics and how they stretch or not. Always love your videos! Please don't change anything!
You have inspired me to start sewing again after 40 years! I love seeing the fabrics you buy and learning about the types of fabric, the 'up close' look of the fabric and what you have planned. You are so pleasant to listen to...it's like having coffee with an old friend. My favorite channel...thank you for all you do to inspire me every day!😘
MORE HAULS!! MORE PATTERNS!! MORE POEMS!!! MORE EVERYTHING, PLEASE! :) Love these older patterns! Thanks always for sharing! I hear ya about sewing curtains, blah 🤣
All I can say is don't listen to those people who tell you not to show your fabric hauls! This is your channel and you should do what feels right! I love to see your fabric hauls and everything else you do. Please don't give those up! Much love.
OMG vivmom!! Awesome!! I once traveling on a small highway, I stopped at a old lonely gas stop, they were selling second hand stuff, and I found like 50 patterns just like those and older, the older were like from the 50's and newer were like from the 70's, the whole bag for 4 dollars!! 😳😳😊😊🥰🥰 Saludos I love all your work!! 😃
When I came back to sewing, the first pattern I sewed was from Advance Pattern - I believe 1957. I have also found old mail order patterns in local thrift stores. As for negativity, unfortunately, it's part of the risk when putting up videos and photos on public social media. People can be mean. So many of us love watching your pattern and fabric hauls. Please don't stop on account of some rather sour people. This is YOUR channel. If you want to spend an hour gazing silently into the camera - you can! Anyone that has a problem with the way you run your channel can simply unsubscribe. As for the rest of us - We enjoy
Sherri Lindsay, I don't think people are taught this saying nowadays. I remember my mom telling me that when I was a kid and I would come home crying because I had a medical condition and kids made fun of me a lot. One day I told her I was going to tell this one kid what I thought, and Mom's immediate comment was "IT's not nice that ppl act that way towards you but honey, if you don't have anything nice to say back to them, please don't say anything." As a kid, I didn't get it, but I do now, and wow mom was RIGHT.....People tend to do and say things online that they would NEVER say in person to someone.....it's sad but that's is what happens a lot when someone is sitting in front of a PC Monitor.
Don't? Don't? Don't? ..... do viewers think you need an editor? You do a great job sharing whatever experiences capture your enthusiasm and that's why you have so many viewers. Most of us are eager for more....but of course we realize you have family life AND need time to sew! You always present so well....just like a friend to friend visit. Keep 'em coming! Thanks for the inspiration! The pattern issues are amazing!
OK so I come here every day to see if there is a fabric haul. To see what you chose and why. Then to see you hold EACH piece up detailing how it feels, for we hardly ever get to feel the fabric we purchase anymore, what garment you might have in mind for it and the fiber content. Also the pattern haul helps me make a list of patterns that I also like. This gets me ready for H.L. $1.99 sale. Now there is NO ONE who sews that doesn't want to see how fabric and pattern have married!!! You take us full circle and I for one feel like it is a joyride! Whoever wants to deprive me of this pleasure needs to show a face. Thank you .
Great find, glad you found the auction for it, lots of treasures for sure! Make whatever vids you want, don't listen to the people who just shouldn't watch if they have a problem with certain kinds of videos! I LOVE your hauls 💗
S-C-O-R-E! I'm digging many of those patterns, too, along with the video view of your fabric haul. Again, with finesse, you deal with the criticisms and are still able to be all about Vivmom Sews, because that's what makes me spend my precious time viewing your inspiration(s). You don't disappoint. Carry on.
I love watching your fabric hauls! I wish I was close to great fabric shopping! Love that Brad models for you. I have been promising my husband pjs forever, lol.
Oh my goodness Viv! What a wonderful haul of things! I love the patterns. I have never worked with a mail order pattern before but this made me want to seek some out. As much as you disliked sewing the curtains they look fab. Collin has such bold taste in fabric! I'm really impressed with what he chooses. The fabrics are gorgeous as always. I can't wait to see what you do with them. Don't let people get you down. I don't know why people have to comment rude things. If it's not your cup of tea, click out of the video. 🤷♀️ Hope you have a fantastic weekend!
Nineteen thousand five hundred subscribers chose to watch you because we like exactly what you have been doing from the beginning. Your cheerfulness, humor draw us in. Seeing the fabric hauls and then seeing how you use them is like watching the previews and then the whole movie when it arrives. Sharing the whole you....sewer, designer, poet, family, history buff, etc., etc. make us feel like a next door neighbor. And it killed me not to have you talk about every one of those new fabric purchases. I feel confident speaking for thousands that we would love for you to go back and introduce every one of those in another video (or from the large number we see), even two videos. And another P.S., sit and read those patterns, because that sewing machine will get turned on when you translate that enthusiasm for the vintage patterns to needing to sew them!!
The one from the 50's - 5:23 min.,knee length and a long , dresses - LOVE IT !! If you ever decide to you don't want it, I'll buy it !! Thank's for the video's.
Im watching now and I notice pattern #9372, a dress with zipper on the back but towards the left side😱 how wonderful is that, well it is to me! Love all your videos 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Hi Viv, I look forward to your videos and ESPECIALLY fabric and pattern hauls!! Love them! And I know most of your viewers do as well. Your engaging personality shows through in every thing you do. It’s a shame that anonymity brings out the pathetic cowards who clearly have unhappy lives and hate to see happy people. Please ignore them!!! You have a large audience because we love what you do! Love you, girl!
I love your authentic personality. Please don't change a thing about your videos or yourself! Don't listen to people that are pushing back as you say. You cannot please everyone so just be yourself! Thanks for all the fun , sewing wisdom and encouragement you give. Blessings
Please don’t listen to those negative ninnies! We love your posts. We want to see each pattern and each piece of fabric. Keep up this lovely work. We love you!
Well, harumph! This is YOUR website and I watch it because of everything you say other viewers dislike. POOEY. I love your hauls. I wish you took more time and just chatted. You are fun, happy, articulate and just great to be around. Anyone who complains about any aspect of your site should not be watching. And considering how many of us eagerly await your videos, the naysayers are few and far between, and should be IGNORED. You are the best. Keep up the wonderful videos because, we, your audience, love you. Hugs, hugs and happy sewing.
This is YOUR CHANNEL! You post what YOU want! Your fans love you and I am one of them. Keep up the GREAT WORK!!! I watch all the time, and smile a whole lot! By the way, I love what you're wearing, as well as the red polish! Can't wait to see your next video. Add some poetry!!!
Who are these people who don't appreciate you, your personality, kindness, stories, poems - I want to talk to them! You are free to be who God created you to be - especially on your channel. Please don't let them steal from you your joy. You go girl - you are amazing and youtube is blessed to have you.
Viv, as I was looking through so many comments made here I could feel the Love! So many positive comments, so many memories evoked, laughs too. Your personality drew me to this channel, so don't ever change!
LOL Viv! How funny that some people think you've made all of these great videos just for them alone. Hee hee!! You be you girlfreind! Let those crazy folks move on!
Oh Viv, so many of those Symplicity patterns brought back so many happy memories when I was in my sewing heyday. I would go home from work, make a dress and wear it to work the next day. Fabric of choice was Crimplene @ $1.88 ya. @ Kmart!
I have enjoyed EVERY ONE of your videos: makes, fabric hauls, patterns, chats about cats, kids and DH, poems. I have enjoyed YOU, my dear friend. I am sorry if someone discouraged you from being you and sharing your joy and craft. I'm sorry for them also. You are the best on my list. Cheers and God bless you. Thank you for sharing yourself with us. Love you beautiful friend..... OK! I'm back! Viv, I just have to say, "I love your energy!" You and Joy have encouraged, challenged and inspired me to get back into garment construction. I am learning from YOU about fabric I have no experience with. I can't tell you how much your channel means to me. Just saying. I felt I needed to speak up and be a counter balance to the voices who want to "steer the ship", so to speak. Hugs.🤗🤗🤗❤❤❤
I love to see each fabric. It helps me to know the kinds of fabric better. Please keep showing and describing the fabric. What is wrong with people. It is your video.
I agree! It's because of you, Viv, that I got brave and placed my first order to Fabric Mart during their site wide 60% off sale last week! I can't wait for my fabric to arrive!
Well that’s what I call a great shopping spree😊 you got some very beautiful fabrics there, mind you I’d have loved to see them all one by one. I love watching the things you buy Viv, it gives me inspiration and fires up my enthusiasm to go sewing, please don’t stop. I don’t understand why anyone should complain, as your header always indicates what the video is about, so if it isn’t to anyone’s liking just move on to a different one. Loving the cardigan you are wearing, I’d have liked to see more of it, is it a long length or short, because I’m looking for a cardigan pattern at the moment. Anyway keep doing things just as they are and I for one will be a very happy bunny.👍🏻xx
Please don't change the way you do your videos. I learn a lot from you each time, especially about fabric. I like hearing what pattern should go with what and the up close views you give. I saved the poem video. Love and hugs- big fan, Vicki
I really like when you hold up your fabric. It helps because you tell us what it is and when I order fabric on line I know what I’m getting. It really upsets me when people tell you how to run your channel. I guess your going to do what the negative people want. It’s not right.
OMG what a great pattern haul! The Family Circle pattern was in an issue of the magazine, I have some of these. Don't let the tatty envelope put you off!
I'm 78 and I remember Workbasket from my childhood. I love seeing the older patterns. I'm a fabricholic too so I always love seeing those too. Your makes have encouraged me to sew again.
Viv - you have 19 thousand viewers for a reason! We all (mostly all) LOVE your site and appreciate everything you do. Keep doing whatever you feel like doing and push back any negative comments. They are the 1% (or less in your case) that are standing out and tugging on your kind people-pleasing heart. The rest of us 99% will be here for you because we love your channel and anything you do on it. Thank you for doing this.
This was sooo fun!! I live vicariously through you!!! Please just keep being yourself; you're so fun to watch and I love your makes and your fabric choices!
I love your videos and fabric hauls. Though this one looks big, LOL! Enjoy hearing about how the fabric feels ( soft, stretch, stiff...Etc.) Too hard to tell in just a once over.
Do it! Show those patterns, show those fabrics, read those poems! Love your channel the way it is. Flush those busybodies down the toilet. You know what you’re doing and it works well, so keep on truckin’!
Hello again. Just did a comparison of your numbers for this episode. As of the typing of my comment, you have 6,344 views with 8, count them...8 (a miniscule number at best) people who did not care for this video. Which means there are 6,336 fantastic people who LOVE, LOVE, LOVE you videos. Which, in my book, is POSITIVE, POSITIVE, POSITIVE feedback. So, do what you do best, HAVE FUN, show each and every piece of a fabric or pattern, and SMILE, SMILE, SMILE. 6,336 of us stand with you and look forward to your next video. So do not change your way of doing YOUR videos because we love them just the way they are, full of life, love, and happiness. Hugs, hugs and happy sewing.
I enjoy your channel so much. Thank you for the time and effort you put in for our enjoyment, and for the knowledge and fun you share. I don’t know why some people are so rude and unpleasant, don’t they realise how hurtful they are being? I hope you are able to block them. Xxx
Oh, my, goodness! This is YOUR channel. Please post whatever pleases you.
Oh my heavens! I can't stand that anyone would tell you to stop doing something on your videos! Your videos are my most favorite, most waited-for videos, no matter what style they are! I love the variety of your videos! I love the details, I love the heads up on sales, and mostly I love your personality! You are always so fresh and genuine and fun, and always gracious and encouraging to all us out here, your devoted fans and friends, even if we are somewhat anonymous! Please keep following your heart and be true to yourself! And if Colin's still involved, I vote that you trust his advice! 😁💜
More fabric hauls!
More pattern hauls!
More modeling!
More poems!
Don't leave anything out. Love the videos.
Simplicity 7470 reminds me of the polyester blend of Levi "Bendover" slacks in later 70's... Do you remember how nice they looked?
No no I want to see all the fabric close up and the patterns and the plans and the fashion show at the end!Gosh I love your videos just the way you make them.
I want to see all of the fabric as well! Please do a haul video. I love to see what material you are finding and from where.
@@sherrycollins6162 me too!!
Me too!
Please don't listen to the negative people. They don't have to watch. Love all you videos ❇️‼️
Exactly! We're love you just the way you are. Delete the trolls' complaints, and don't look back.
I enjoyed this UA-cam episode. You are cool 😎
To heck with donts
I agree! This is your channel. I love all you do. The naysayers don't have to watch if they don't like hauls or poetry or whatever.
We love your videos!
I have to stand up and shout above the naysayers! WHAT?!!!! No hauls? NO NO NO! What is the matter with people? There are way more of us that want to see fabric and patterns than those who don't. Whomever would rather not see them can just move on and not watch. Never bow to the trolls. Just delete their comments and move on.
Holy crow what a find! I was watching with my jaw on the floor. WOW. I don't blame you for wanting to just sit on the sofa and read instruction sheets! I do too! These are amazing. You ran across a few things that made me drool. I'll need to watch a second time to zero in so prepare for a second comment below this one.
It's the season for sewing frustration, I'm convinced. I have 2 things I made in October. Two. TWO! One is still sitting there half torn apart for the third time so it can be fitted correctly. It's just a skirt but dang that's frustrating!
Have a great weekend, my friend, and know that there are far more people that love you than don't. ❤️❤️❤️ Pay no attention to the people behind the curtain. They probably don't even sew and if they can, all they can make is curtains! 😉
Right! Jen said it all! Let "them" go look at what they want wherever it is! This is YOUR channel!
OK second time through. 9276 - love. 9432 - that offset zip, so cool! 9257 - I want that pantsuit! 9372 - love the princess seaming and in-seam pockets and that zip up the side back. 4803 - adorable. So many variations. 9358 - "seamed to slim." Gimme some-a that. Love that big bow. And the Advance dressing gown. Makes me want to have people over for cocktails just so I could wear it. (those would be lemonade with cherries - lol). What a find. Good for you.
Amen! I love the curtain comment! 😂
I agree. :)
For good ness sake! Do whatever you wish! We love to see you and whatever makes you happy is fine.
Don't listen to the nay-sayers! Personally, I love the fabric haul videos. They give me inspiration and I like to see what you are planning to make with the various textures/colors. Been watching old "Green Acres" episodes and you should see the 60's outfits that Eva Gabor wears! I see them in these patterns here. Beautiful!
I love the old shows too, the clothes are so inspiring.
Oh,, thanks for the heads up about Eva! I love Gene Tierney's clothes in Laura...also a great movie, and named after me, LOL
Wait. Wait. I’m not through your video yet but have to pause for a minute. I love your poems. I love the way you hold fabric up to the camera. It’s like I am shopping and get to see all the teeny tiny details and nuances of the fabric when you do it like that.
In fact, after I found your channel, whenever any other sewer does fabric hauls they NEVER show the fabric up close, as if to say “here you can glimpse this fabric from a distance while I describe it to you.” Irritating. I always think, man, VivMom could give them a lesson about how to care about your viewers more than listening to the sound of their own voice.
All this to say your content AND methods of presentation are top notch.
But now we don't know how much you paid, what kind of fabric it is, how much you got, what you are going to do with it... You have almost 20 thousand viewers.

Almost 20,000 people adore you for who you are and what you bring us. Don't let the naysayers influence you to change too much. My mom passed away recently and I have 6 or 7 copy paper boxes of vintage and older patterns going back to her 1958 wedding dress! It looks like she combined two patterns. So fun!!!!!
You post whatever you want to!! I love to watch your fabric hauls and patterns!
Don’t listen to the nay sayers! You do what you do! I love seeing all the fabric and patterns and hearing you describe them. If someone doesn’t like it, they don’t have to watch. Please don’t deprive those of us who love everything you do, poems included. You are a lovely person through and through. I truly enjoy ALL the videos you have made.
I never write comments but I have to say I love fabric hauls, I love the way you say how it inspired you to make a particular garment! Your titles tell viewers what’s coming and you can swipe right at any time ! Geez Joy slurps and you can’t show fabric? Ignore the haters! Thanks for the entertainment you provide for FREE!
Viv...99% of us love your content! Please don't get discouraged & keep on keepin' on what you are doing. Have a great weekend! 😄
Do not, do not ever change who, what, and how you are. You make my day when I get to watch you. I laugh, I cry(from laughing), and then I run to the bathroom. I love Vivmom you always smile. Just keep on making and I'll keep on watching 👀, especially fabric hauls.
Do I ever remember seeing those patterns advertised in the papers and magazines back in the day. Was too young to buy them but even then I drooled. Good buy there.
Too bad we didn't get to see more of the fabrics. Don't understand the comments against this. This was part of your site from the beginning and you have gained subscribers based on what you're doing. Viv, we love you; don't change!!
I love watching your fabric hauls, your pattern hauls, listening to your poetry, and everything else about your videos! Don't change because of a few unhappy miserable nit-picky people! Like so many of us have said before and we'll continue to say, we love you just the way you are! Trolls, scroll on, or don't watch! Love you Viv!😊👍❤
Viv, this is YOUR UA-cam video! Do what you enjoy! God Bless. You!
Don’t listen to the don’ts. You do what you want it is your channel. I enjoy what you share with us. Those that don’t can speed through it.
I am so sad. You are the sweetest person on utube. You are always so fun. Your videos make me laugh. You have such a cool personality. Don’t let them dampen your spirits. I can tell by looking at all these posts that they love you just like I do. I loved your great haul from eBay. Boy that brought back lots of memories. Hearing some of them made me chuckle. Thanks for the good times.
I am a historian and was working on my Masters in archiving focusing on historical household records, SO this video made me squee like I just saw my first kitten. This is right up my alley!
If people do not like your content they don't have to watch. There are many sewists blogging of all different varieties to please everyone. I enjoyed the poetry, personally I lean towards the videos that are more spontaneous and a little different. Others prefer things to be very structured and narrow. There are channels like that (lets not talk about my time sink in You Tube lol) for them that prefer that. :) Negative public commentary is the number one thing keeping me from starting a channel, so I am not trying to say it doesn't suck to hear, but I think more of us like you exactly as you are judging from the comments and likes :)
About hubs shirt, could you just try sewing a new seam from the hem up the arm on both sides, or would that make the underarm seam way too mangled to be comfortable? I hate when I make those kinds of mistakes (often). Relish that awesome matching job on those curtains. I made sheers once and swore I never would again. I have learned a few tricks though, so, never say never. :)
I just had a friend drop off 6 five yard pieces of various jerseys and thought *I* was swimming in new fabric! Wow, that is an astounding haul. :) Also, I vote you snuggle on the sofa and read your new patterns for at least an hour.
There’s a lot of great patterns in there. When you say you ave been getting pushed back on hauls and;elms and things, do you mean people who watch your videos? Because, I actually sit patiently for your fabric and pattern hauls, as well as the however many looks in as many minutes.
Love Vivs format !
Me too, I love them all, and we are the ones that matter, not the boring old party poopers, right ?????
Monica Shahatit So do I!
hi Viv, love your vintage pattern haul and your new fabric! Ignore the naysayers, most of us like everything you present to us
Those old advertisements are a hoot. The patterns are great. I always love your videos! Please don't change, if someone doesn't like a particular video they just have to skip that one.
It’s not the same!!! I love watching your fabric hauls and what you feel and say about each piece.
You have such different fabrics than we have here in Australia. It’s hard not to take on the negative comments
but the positive ones definitely win out! You know what? If some people don’t like your fabric hauls they don’t have to watch........🌹❤️
So, who's out there giving our Vivmom pushback!? I love all of your Vlogs! Even the poems! Keep up the good work!
This is YOUR channel! You video what makes YOU happy! I want to see you detailed fabric hauls. I want to hear your poems. Love your channel!
I just read all the comments so far on your video. Are you feelin’ the love? Sometimes people are truly amazing. It seems unanimous that we all love everything you do! ❤️
VIVMOM, VIVMOM,VIVMOM!! HURRAY! YOU'RE THE BEST!!!
just wanted to say as other people have. Do not listen to them, I love hearing you and checking out everything you do. And mostly I do get a kick out of the fact your husband gets involved. My husband was so negative towards my hobbies, it was very off putting. I did not sew for about 15 years because of his negativity. He was a person if you could not eat it forget about it. Continue please. You make my day when ever I listen and watch your show.
I don't understand people that don't like a channel and feel the need to complain. If you don't like something there is a way to NOT Watch! Move ON! For goodness sake people! Personally, I'm bummed that you didn't show your fabric and tell us what your plans are for each piece. BTY - now Brad has a super-nice sleep tee-shirt!
I love when you give the history behind the patterns and share knowledge with us! Don’t change anything you have been doing. Love it all! Don’t listen to those individuals who want to tell you what you should be sharing in your videos. Those of us who watch you love your videos just the way you present them. You always make me smile 😃.
I just love those prints! It’s all beautiful! You are in charge of your channel, do what you want to do. I personally enjoyed the poem and thought you quite talented. I also like to see the fabric close up. I think the negative people can find other channels to watch, please don’t change who you are, you are what makes this channel stand out. Thanks for all you do!
I wish people would be nice. I look forward to all of your videos and enjoyed your poem. It left me wanting more of your humor. What a haul girl, you better get sewing!!
Don't feed the trolls. I love everything you do on your channel. I have learned so much from you. Don't stop doing what you do.
I love your fabric hauls! I almost get a shopping high watching your hauls! Exciting!
I LOVE fabric and pattern hauls ... don’t stop posting them please!
Don't stop the hauls! I am TERRIBLE at choosing fabrics so watching someone demo the type of fabric, the drape, the stretch, etc. is really beneficial to those of us who live in areas where online shopping is our best option. I'm not especially fond of vintage patterns, but I watched all the way through because you are delightful to watch and I enjoy your enthusiasm for something you love. IT'S YOUR CHANNEL!...do what you want! And in the poem spirit: If you don't like to watch a haul, you don't have to watch at all. :)
I agree with you! It's so hard to shop online for fabric, and Viv's videos really help!
Wow! 😍 What a haul,! Patterns and fabric! I hope you slowly go over each when used, made or whatever! Don't relinquish the reigns of your sleigh! Keep bringing the goodies! Colin's curtains came out great! I'm having decorative pillow troubles. Ha! It's always stuff you think will be a breeze. I love what you're wearing!
I really enjoy watching your fabric unvailing and your pattern shows. Your upbeat attitude is so refreshimg. Don't change.
Vivmom, this is your channel with thousands subscribing! I love the fabric hauls as I have learned tons! I'm getting back into garment sewing and it is nice to see the different fabrics and how they stretch or not. Always love your videos! Please don't change anything!
You have inspired me to start sewing again after 40 years! I love seeing the fabrics you buy and learning about the types of fabric, the 'up close' look of the fabric and what you have planned. You are so pleasant to listen to...it's like having coffee with an old friend. My favorite channel...thank you for all you do to inspire me every day!😘
MORE HAULS!! MORE PATTERNS!! MORE POEMS!!! MORE EVERYTHING, PLEASE! :) Love these older patterns! Thanks always for sharing! I hear ya about sewing curtains, blah 🤣
All I can say is don't listen to those people who tell you not to show your fabric hauls! This is your channel and you should do what feels right! I love to see your fabric hauls and everything else you do. Please don't give those up! Much love.
OMG vivmom!! Awesome!! I once traveling on a small highway, I stopped at a old lonely gas stop, they were selling second hand stuff, and I found like 50 patterns just like those and older, the older were like from the 50's and newer were like from the 70's, the whole bag for 4 dollars!! 😳😳😊😊🥰🥰 Saludos I love all your work!! 😃
Please don’t allow trolls to control your channel content. It’s YOUR channel - do what YOU want!
When I came back to sewing, the first pattern I sewed was from Advance Pattern - I believe 1957. I have also found old mail order patterns in local thrift stores.
As for negativity, unfortunately, it's part of the risk when putting up videos and photos on public social media. People can be mean. So many of us love watching your pattern and fabric hauls. Please don't stop on account of some rather sour people. This is YOUR channel. If you want to spend an hour gazing silently into the camera - you can! Anyone that has a problem with the way you run your channel can simply unsubscribe. As for the rest of us - We enjoy
My goodnes people need to learn that if you don't have something nice to say don't say anything at all. Keep up the great videos!
Sherri Lindsay, I don't think people are taught this saying nowadays. I remember my mom telling me that when I was a kid and I would come home crying because I had a medical condition and kids made fun of me a lot. One day I told her I was going to tell this one kid what I thought, and Mom's immediate comment was "IT's not nice that ppl act that way towards you but honey, if you don't have anything nice to say back to them, please don't say anything." As a kid, I didn't get it, but I do now, and wow mom was RIGHT.....People tend to do and say things online that they would NEVER say in person to someone.....it's sad but that's is what happens a lot when someone is sitting in front of a PC Monitor.
Don't? Don't? Don't? ..... do viewers think you need an editor? You do a great job sharing whatever experiences capture your enthusiasm and that's why you have so many viewers. Most of us are eager for more....but of course we realize you have family life AND need time to sew! You always present so well....just like a friend to friend visit. Keep 'em coming! Thanks for the inspiration! The pattern issues are amazing!
OK so I come here every day to see if there is a fabric haul. To see what you chose and why. Then to see you hold EACH piece up detailing how it feels, for we hardly ever get to feel the fabric we purchase anymore, what garment you might have in mind for it and the fiber content. Also the pattern haul helps me make a list of patterns that I also like. This gets me ready for H.L. $1.99 sale. Now there is NO ONE who sews that doesn't want to see how fabric and pattern have married!!! You take us full circle and I for one feel like it is a joyride! Whoever wants to deprive me of this pleasure needs to show a face. Thank you .
Great find, glad you found the auction for it, lots of treasures for sure! Make whatever vids you want, don't listen to the people who just shouldn't watch if they have a problem with certain kinds of videos! I LOVE your hauls 💗
I watch you with my first cup of ☕. Thanks so much for all your choices.
I love seeing your fabric and pattern hauls. Love all the fabrics, love your videos. Keep doing you..
S-C-O-R-E! I'm digging many of those patterns, too, along with the video view of your fabric haul. Again, with finesse, you deal with the criticisms and are still able to be all about Vivmom Sews, because that's what makes me spend my precious time viewing your inspiration(s). You don't disappoint. Carry on.
What a sweet video Vivmom! Thank you! I’d want to sit on the couch too and just take it all in, reading all the patterns 🤩.
I love watching your fabric hauls! I wish I was close to great fabric shopping! Love that Brad models for you. I have been promising my husband pjs forever, lol.
I LOVE the fabric haul videos!!! and the poem was fun! Don't listen to negative, do what you like. It's your channel!
I love watching you! Ignore those negative people and trust that most of us are happy to hear you share your thoughts and finds.
Oh my goodness Viv! What a wonderful haul of things! I love the patterns. I have never worked with a mail order pattern before but this made me want to seek some out. As much as you disliked sewing the curtains they look fab. Collin has such bold taste in fabric! I'm really impressed with what he chooses. The fabrics are gorgeous as always. I can't wait to see what you do with them. Don't let people get you down. I don't know why people have to comment rude things. If it's not your cup of tea, click out of the video. 🤷♀️ Hope you have a fantastic weekend!
Nineteen thousand five hundred subscribers chose to watch you because we like exactly what you have been doing from the beginning. Your cheerfulness, humor draw us in. Seeing the fabric hauls and then seeing how you use them is like watching the previews and then the whole movie when it arrives. Sharing the whole you....sewer, designer, poet, family, history buff, etc., etc. make us feel like a next door neighbor. And it killed me not to have you talk about every one of those new fabric purchases. I feel confident speaking for thousands that we would love for you to go back and introduce every one of those in another video (or from the large number we see), even two videos. And another P.S., sit and read those patterns, because that sewing machine will get turned on when you translate that enthusiasm for the vintage patterns to needing to sew them!!
The one from the 50's - 5:23 min.,knee length and a long , dresses - LOVE IT !! If you ever decide to you don't want it, I'll buy it !! Thank's for the video's.
Im watching now and I notice pattern #9372, a dress with zipper on the back but towards the left side😱 how wonderful is that, well it is to me! Love all your videos 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Hi Viv, I look forward to your videos and ESPECIALLY fabric and pattern hauls!! Love them! And I know most of your viewers do as well. Your engaging personality shows through in every thing you do. It’s a shame that anonymity brings out the pathetic cowards who clearly have unhappy lives and hate to see happy people. Please ignore them!!! You have a large audience because we love what you do! Love you, girl!
I love your authentic personality. Please don't change a thing about your videos or yourself! Don't listen to people that are pushing back as you say. You cannot please everyone so just be yourself! Thanks for all the fun , sewing wisdom and encouragement you give. Blessings
I loved you poem . I also like when you tell about the fabric. Be the boss of your own channel.
I love the curtains! They brought some cool colors into the room. I bet he appreciates them so much!
Please don’t listen to those negative ninnies! We love your posts. We want to see each pattern and each piece of fabric. Keep up this lovely work. We love you!
Love your pattern haul Viv, a nice bit of history! However, we gotta see all that fabric up close and personal, please!!😘
I loved your poem!! Like others have said, it’s your channel, do what you want👍🏻👍🏻
I really wish now that I had kept all my old patterns ! I also remember having a New Home sewing machine . Take care x
Well, harumph! This is YOUR website and I watch it because of everything you say other viewers dislike. POOEY. I love your hauls. I wish you took more time and just chatted. You are fun, happy, articulate and just great to be around. Anyone who complains about any aspect of your site should not be watching. And considering how many of us eagerly await your videos, the naysayers are few and far between, and should be IGNORED. You are the best. Keep up the wonderful videos because, we, your audience, love you. Hugs, hugs and happy sewing.
I love seeing your vintage patterns, your fabric hauls, your enthusiasm for the craft. Keep doing what you do so well!
This is YOUR CHANNEL! You post what YOU want! Your fans love you and I am one of them. Keep up the GREAT WORK!!! I watch all the time, and smile a whole lot! By the way, I love what you're wearing, as well as the red polish! Can't wait to see your next video. Add some poetry!!!
I just love you!! I have some vintage mail order patterns too, and I was fascinated by the history you shared. What a super EBay haul!
Who are these people who don't appreciate you, your personality, kindness, stories, poems - I want to talk to them! You are free to be who God created you to be - especially on your channel. Please don't let them steal from you your joy. You go girl - you are amazing and youtube is blessed to have you.
Viv, as I was looking through so many comments made here I could feel the Love! So many positive comments, so many memories evoked, laughs too. Your personality drew me to this channel, so don't ever change!
LOL Viv! How funny that some people think you've made all of these great videos just for them alone. Hee hee!! You be you girlfreind! Let those crazy folks move on!
Oh Viv, so many of those Symplicity patterns brought back so many happy memories when I was in my sewing heyday. I would go home from work, make a dress and wear it to work the next day. Fabric of choice was Crimplene @ $1.88 ya. @ Kmart!
I have enjoyed EVERY ONE of your videos: makes, fabric hauls, patterns, chats about cats, kids and DH, poems. I have enjoyed YOU, my dear friend. I am sorry if someone discouraged you from being you and sharing your joy and craft. I'm sorry for them also. You are the best on my list. Cheers and God bless you. Thank you for sharing yourself with us. Love you beautiful friend..... OK! I'm back! Viv, I just have to say, "I love your energy!" You and Joy have encouraged, challenged and inspired me to get back into garment construction. I am learning from YOU about fabric I have no experience with. I can't tell you how much your channel means to me. Just saying. I felt I needed to speak up and be a counter balance to the voices who want to "steer the ship", so to speak. Hugs.🤗🤗🤗❤❤❤
Love seeing your patterns. I remember the Work basket mag & OMG I had forgotten about my great aunt eating those candies for weight. Lol
I love to see each fabric. It helps me to know the kinds of fabric better. Please keep showing and describing the fabric. What is wrong with people. It is your video.
I agree! It's because of you, Viv, that I got brave and placed my first order to Fabric Mart during their site wide 60% off sale last week! I can't wait for my fabric to arrive!
LOVE THE PAISLEY FABRIC! I need some!!!!!!!!!!! Post whatever you want. It's your channel. Do you!
Well that’s what I call a great shopping spree😊 you got some very beautiful fabrics there, mind you I’d have loved to see them all one by one.
I love watching the things you buy Viv, it gives me inspiration and fires up my enthusiasm to go sewing, please don’t stop. I don’t understand why anyone should complain, as your header always indicates what the video is about, so if it isn’t to anyone’s liking just move on to a different one.
Loving the cardigan you are wearing, I’d have liked to see more of it, is it a long length or short, because I’m looking for a cardigan pattern at the moment. Anyway keep doing things just as they are and I for one will be a very happy bunny.👍🏻xx
Please don't change the way you do your videos. I learn a lot from you each time, especially about fabric. I like hearing what pattern should go with what and the up close views you give. I saved the poem video. Love and hugs- big fan, Vicki
I can’t wait to see you try some of these. I like them, too! So cool!
I really like when you hold up your fabric. It helps because you tell us what it is and when I order fabric on line I know what I’m getting. It really upsets me when people tell you how to run your channel. I guess your going to do what the negative people want. It’s not right.
OMG what a great pattern haul! The Family Circle pattern was in an issue of the magazine, I have some of these. Don't let the tatty envelope put you off!
Viv..its your channel if they do not like it move forward...i love everything u do..keep it up.
I'm 78 and I remember Workbasket from my childhood. I love seeing the older patterns. I'm a fabricholic too so I always love seeing those too. Your makes have encouraged me to sew again.
DO NOT change your videos, they are perfect just as they are! I see at least two pieces of fabric we both have! How funny!
Viv - you have 19 thousand viewers for a reason! We all (mostly all) LOVE your site and appreciate everything you do. Keep doing whatever you feel like doing and push back any negative comments. They are the 1% (or less in your case) that are standing out and tugging on your kind people-pleasing heart. The rest of us 99% will be here for you because we love your channel and anything you do on it. Thank you for doing this.
This was sooo fun!! I live vicariously through you!!! Please just keep being yourself; you're so fun to watch and I love your makes and your fabric choices!
I'm so happy that you posted a new video. Always enjoyable!
I love your videos and fabric hauls. Though this one looks big, LOL! Enjoy hearing about how the fabric feels ( soft, stretch, stiff...Etc.) Too hard to tell in just a once over.
The pant suit reminds me of Mrs. Brady
Great pattern and fabric haul. I love your channel. Your content is always awesome.
Do it! Show those patterns, show those fabrics, read those poems! Love your channel the way it is. Flush those busybodies down the toilet. You know what you’re doing and it works well, so keep on truckin’!
Hello again. Just did a comparison of your numbers for this episode. As of the typing of my comment, you have 6,344 views with 8, count them...8 (a miniscule number at best) people who did not care for this video. Which means there are 6,336 fantastic people who LOVE, LOVE, LOVE you videos. Which, in my book, is POSITIVE, POSITIVE, POSITIVE feedback. So, do what you do best, HAVE FUN, show each and every piece of a fabric or pattern, and SMILE, SMILE, SMILE. 6,336 of us stand with you and look forward to your next video. So do not change your way of doing YOUR videos because we love them just the way they are, full of life, love, and happiness. Hugs, hugs and happy sewing.
I enjoy your channel so much. Thank you for the time and effort you put in for our enjoyment, and for the knowledge and fun you share. I don’t know why some people are so rude and unpleasant, don’t they realise how hurtful they are being? I hope you are able to block them. Xxx
