Hi Viv… every dress you wore and showed were 5 star 🌟. Colors and prints fabulous 🌺. Thank you for all the positive vibe… see you next time👋
For Candace’s dress, I’d try bringing it it up at the shoulders by increasing the seam allowance of the shoulder seam. It would reduce both the bodice length and the size of the armhole.
As for the dress you were wearing while discussing Candace’s dress - you are an incredible knockout in that dress. Such flattering lines on you.
You’re an inspiration to us all!
It's also very cute to hear how Candace thinks you can fix that dress. None of my daughters wanted to learn to sew, but they seem to think we are geniuses when we make something beautiful. It's the classic "you make it look easy, therefore it must be easy for you." In sewing you are the equivalent of Ginger Roger's dancing backwards in high heels, lol!
Dear Viv, as always, everything you made looks wonderful on you. A lot of wonderful colors for summer! Hope all is well. Blessings!
I have a question: do you know where I could find a really good swimsuit elastic? I need to repair a suit that the elastic has NOT held up. It needs to be about 1/2" to 1" wide. Thanks, in advance.
The irrational fear of zippers! Exactly - we can all relate to that.
Congratulations to my namesake Julie you are a lucky lady. There are some stunning fabrics coming your way. Love your new fashion show Viv. They all look lovely and cool 😎 ready for the hot weather which is still yet to reach us in the UK. Shame about Candace’s dress…. But we live and learn 🤷♀️ now back to my sewing machine🪡🧵
WOW! I love all of the dresses! Great fabric with great patterns! Simple looks elevated to a whole other level! And you Vivmom look gorgeous in each one! My favorite is the peacock dress! Well done!
So cute for Candace...too bad it didn't fit her and no she is not small chested...she has a very cute figure...very blessed girl! Everything looks so nice VIVMOM and thank you for giving me more wonderful ideas to sew. You keep me inspired!🤗
Wow, I love all these dresses... you definitely know what patterns, prints and material choices look so flattering on you. I wish you could find these dresses in stores for us non-sewers.
congratulations to Julie Ann More Edwards!!!
Enjoy the video and your makes. Nice to visit with you today.
You look amazing in all your makes! I especially love the See and Sew peasant style dress! The fabric is perfect for that pattern! 😊
You always inspire! It's the best day ever to watch your channel! Loved "only people who sew would understand that". Priceless made me laugh! You and your family are so beautiful!
I would have not even looked at a fabric pattern like the quilting cotton fabric, but Wow, the way you used it is beautiful!
Great review! So beautiful dresses! Looks amazing! Thanks for sharing! Have a great day my friend🌸👍
I love all the dresses you made and they all look great on you!😁
You have to have “vision” to see something nice out of those pattern cover photos! Each dress looks fantastic on you- way nicer than the cover!
Everything looks beautiful !!
told you I couldn't wait to see your makes and you did not disappoint!! the new look 6652 in crepe de chine was my favorite and you look so good in it!!
congrats, Julie. have lots of fun with your new stash.
Viv, such a sweet video. Loved it, the patterns and fabric choices 👌
wow!!! gorgeous makes, Viv- thanks for sharing!
Congratulations, Julie Ann! Those are great fabrics. Viv, that 1st little shift dress is darling! I can see that in a LOT of different fabrics, how cute would it be in a border print? Get a nice mid weight black pointe knit and make the perfect one. It's just really great on you. I also liked the fit and flare dress. Crepes can be fussy sometimes and often the rippling seams have to do with the thread. Experiment with cotton covered poly, all poly, all cotton and rayon threads. I have better luck using rayon thread with crepe. The dress is perfect with your shoes...a really nice date night outfit. Why not make a skirt for Candace out of the dress? There should be plenty of fabric from the bodice to make a waistband. It would be such a cute summer skirt.
Wow wow and wow. They are all juste so beautiful. They look gorgeous on you. But my favorite was the last one. The fabric so beautiful and just love the style of the dress. Bravo Viv 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I would never buy the butterick pattern for dress number two but I love it. Love the material, love everything about it and it looks really good on you to Viv
Patten number three I had for a wedding in a dusky pink crêpe with deep Boudreaux shoes and bag - how I loved that dress to It was so comfortable but far to formal for day wear
All the dresses in this collection are lovely Viv with beautiful choices of material
Thank you as always for sharing
Hello Viv
The new look pattern for the simple shift dress I just picked up a VOGUE pattern that is exactly the same the yoke and bands at the bottom so simple cute easy summer dress
I have just cut ✂️ it out so hopefully mine looks as great as yours
Thank you for the great idea's and inspiration
Happy sewing 👗
Take care and God bless you
Congratulations Julie Ann! I love the peacock dress
All desses look great and comfortable for summer and your fabrics shoices are so appropriate. Even though some patterns have panels it looks as if you took the time to match everything; I guess the fabrics helped. 🥰 them all!
hi viv mom i am a male i have been watching your videos for a long time now but first let me wish your beautiful daughter candace every happiness the clothes you made for her are absolutely beautiful prints look good on her your clothes are beautiful and the making of your husband clothes are very nice if your dont mention your mistakes on your clothes you will never see it such beautiful fabrics may god continue to bless you and your family have a blessed day
I can't tell you how much I love those dresses you made. I love summer styles, and every one is impeccable!
The green floral dress screams summer bridal shower and that last telio fabric dress is so resort! Throw all of them in a suitcase and take a cruise!! Thanks for including fabric type, pattern and lessons learned! I sewed my first invisible zip yesterday and only had to rip it out once! Now I'm not scared either! Victory!
Happy to hear it, Kim, well done!👏👏
I love the yellow flowers one very much !
Well done!!

Congrats Julie Ann! Enjoy the fabric :) omg, that peacock fabric is splendid and the dress looks great on you. Vivmom, you make the prettiest garments...I so enjoy your videos...and I don't even sew (but I'd like to)...I am living vicariously through your sewing machine !! Hahaha :)
Simplicity 8910. Is gorgeous on you!!! I don’t know why that just looking at that pattern I would have passed it by… But seeing it made up…it’s perfect. . So long story short, I went and found that pattern and ordered it this afternoon. (right after I watched your video)
Each was cuter than the previous. Can they all be my favorite?
CONGRATULATIONS Julie!! HAPPY Sewing! GREAT JOB Viv!😍😍
Every one of these dresses are gorgeous! Watching your videos make me want to go cut something out and sew it up!
All of your dresses look beautiful on you! You used such pretty fabrics!
Love that peacock fabric!
This collection of dresses are beautiful and chic. They appear to be expensive .These would be perfect for working in a upscale boutique. 💐
Hi Viv! Love your dresses! Not sure if you've tried out Microtex needles but I use a size 8 or 10 for silky fabrics like crepe de chine and find that the seams are much smoother. I also look for the finest thread I can buy. Gutermann poly is my go to thread for finer fabric or the Coats Extra fine brand if you can find it. Happy sewing!
Love your dresses. You have inspired me to make some summer dresses!!
Beautiful!! Beautiful!! Beautiful!! And you got so much benefit out of the Mother-of-the-Bride experience all around. Like going to a master class. Yay!! Invisible Zips are tamed! 🤗🤗🌹🌹🌹 Was sorry to hear of the loss of inseam pockets on that cute shift dress. I’d guess the pockets were off grain and/or the stitching pulled the other fabric off grain. The twisting and tugging etc…that’s what it tells me. Though the dress is still pretty. You could make a little matching bag! Or a hair scarf… ok, I’ll go away now ….
Thanks for modeling the finished product.
5836 Butterick, Just love the dress and the length, very flattering!
I love Anna Maria Horner. I’ve made several dresses with her cotton prints and they’re a nice weight and gorgeous prints.
The last dress, 6652 New Look, is my favorite. It looks great on you Viv.
All so beautiful!!! You inspire me to get back to garment sewing…so far I have been staying busy with grandkiddos pj pants :)
Hey Viv: I have an idea for a future video. I think quite a few of us are "big girls". I personally where anywhere from a 20 to a 24 depending on the day. Truth is my bottom leans more toward the 24 and top more toward 20. Could you spend some time on pattern alterations? Also, I am famous for making something and it ends up not flattering for my body. Maybe include some ideas for patterns that slenderize? I'm off to the pattern sale.
Beautiful absolutely beautiful. U have such a lovely figure and the patterns you pick are always winners!!! Fits you to a T
Hi Vivmam I have made the pattern 6619 I made mine in black with black and white print for the yoke and hem.love all your makes.
I have one of those...dust off the machine time.
Beeeutiful dresses! I really like them all….I usually don’t, but kudos! Tata, have a great weekend!
Beautiful dresses, you have model shoulders for dresses like that, I'm jealous. Thank you from texas where you can fry an egg on the sidewalk for the past week lol
Beautiful dresses!!!! Thank you for sharing your makes with us!!
lol i wish i fit candace's dress i love the print...i love your dresses esp the 1st one ...and the orange shoes are perfect...tfs:)
Always awesome sewing, and yes I understand about invisible zippers. 😀
Love your dresses. Especially the last one. So pretty!!
Beautiful makes Viv, as usual ✨⭐ Too bad about the dress you made Candace. You can tell that bodice was drafted wacky lol. It looks like a 10 on bottom and a 20 on top 😂
I'm like you with tracking down bargain fabric. It's built in to me.
Love the last dress on you,you look absolutely stunning! But you would look good in a bin bag! Have a lovely weekend,much love🌺🌹🥂
All the dresses are very nice.
Do you ' make' for people as well.? If I was as good as you are, I'd have a home dress making business like old times.
My mom use to have her 3 daughters dresses made.
I also made New Look 6619, yours is very cute. Mine looks like a house coat. Maybe it is too large.
Sweet Vivmom , marvellous dressesThe first one looks vintage,the last one looks modern,all dresses look good as always
love your pretty dresses! especially 6652, well, they are all so very nice! have a nice week :) (& yes, the zippers still scare me!)
Hi I am missing your videos! My other favorite sewists quit doing theirs, and I am suffering from the doldrums. I have had 2 surgeries in the last 6 weeks and I am bored and need some inspiration to get back to sewing as soon as my body is able. So get on it beautiful lady! Just kidding. I do miss you.
Aww thanks Nancy. I’m kind of rethinking my role on UA-cam, I don’t have the zeal for it anymore. But I am sewing and will share what I’ve made in June!👍
Each dress is extremely beautiful 😍 Fabric choices exquisite 👌
These are all pretty, but I liked the second one (green and white) best. I have always loved green, but my kids never wanted green clothes, and it seems to be a trend, so I think that's why green always seems better priced.
Love all the dresses but my fav. is the dressy last one .Thanks for sharing.
Another beautiful collection of dresses. You are so very talented ❤️
Congratulations Julie
Thanks again for your video love the ideas and tips that I get with each video that I watch.
I made the jumpsuit version of the pattern you made for Candace and had the exact same issue with the cross fabric on the front bunching and flopping open. I’m relieved to see that it is likely an issue with the pattern rather than my sewing skills. Also the jumpsuit is REALLY hard to wriggle in and out of, likely because the cotton voile fabric I used has zero stretch.
Really enjoyed all of your makes! Beautiful dresses! Thank you for sharing.
The one with the big yellow flowers is my favorite......love it!!!
Love all of the dresses. 😃I like color. Thanks for sharing.
All of these dresses are beautiful and I love the last one that you modeled and your shoes are perfect!
Lovely dresses again and beautiful fabric…!! 🫶
Love all your makes, especially the yellow & pink flower one
Loved all your makes and so envious of your talent for picking fabulous fabrics!
Love all those dresses and you are slim so you look good in anything.😍
That last dress on you Viv is fabulous. ✔️💐❤️
I totally understand the conundrum I sewed my own clothing and other items for many many years. I held my mother at nasty look point to teach me how to sew. I found that basing things on a pattern that has already been made it’s just a generalization of a woman’s body. . It’s funny I gave it up for quite a bit while I care for my Alzheimer’s elders and I started making jewelry I’ve had many many domestic careers that something has sparked me and I think it’s the summer. I was very creative with the things I made. I still think I have what it takes to maybe be a designer but my body doesn’t believe me anymore I’ll be 65 on September 11 it’s hard to let go of The things that you loved that forged you into who you are. 🥰 sending many blessings and love to all of you.
I love the last one you were wearing. It looks so sharp on you.
The fabric for the last dress, awesome 🤗👏👏👏
All the colourful big prints are stunning. I can't do an invisible zipper yet
All your dresses are beautiful; however, that last dress looks absolutely stunning on you! I think it’s my favorite of all the dresses I’ve seen you make!! ❤️
I love ❤️ your makes. I love 👗👗👗👗 have a great day
Love every dress!!!! You never disappoint!
I love your videos. Just like talking to a friend.
Here you go again. You are inspiring me to make summer dresses. Thank you for the video. Really enjoyed it. God bless
