I swear, if you get any better at sewing, choosing fabric and patterns that look great together, and making alterations to designs, some big company will snap you up and you will have to abandon your viewers. We’ll all be sad and miss you. You really do some awesome work.
Your dreary, rainy days are great for me. That’s invariably when my 3yr old Fairfax, VA grandson likes to spend time indoors FaceTiming with me.
I agree! You seem to have a better eye for these things than some of the so called professionals!
I absolutely love all of it.Thank Brad for being supportive. Not many men are. You are such a joy to see what you make. I'm learning late in life. But you have given me inspiration and I keep trying. Thank you for showing us.
"Brad Dad" is a trip! He is all in! Team Player! You chose well for a husband!
Cannot pick a favorite… every single one is awesome. Really encourages me to get out of my comfort zone in sewing. I so look fwd to the end-of-the-month fashion show.
Lots of nice makes.
Just another fan saying how awesome all your makes are! Everything looks great on you… and Brad looks very handsome in his shirt and shorts. My husband wants me to make him a copy of a jacket he had a million years ago. Yikes!
Simply adored all the makes! Personally, I don't know how you get it all done. Thanks for sharing.
Viv, I have tuned in just an hour after you post this video, and you have so many comments I have read them and agree with all of the viewer when it come to picking pattern to fabric you ace it every time. Brad it is always lovely to see you!
These “makes” videos always make me smile! You literally look great in everything! Brad is adorable too! Awesome couple, fun videos, yay sewing! Thanks for the joy 🤗
You are so productive, makes me feel so lazy. I will promise myself to get in the sewing room and SEW. Thanks Viv xx
How gorgeous are all your combinations and the colours are lovely. Autumn is around the corner and you've inspired us all. Thanks Viv.
A little yellow ribbon bow on the bodice or waist of your "nightgown" would really finish it off. Great fashion show.
Everything looks wonderful! Before watching your videos, I wouldn't have thought of omitting zippers or buttons. I giggle each time you mention, "And you know what? I didn't add the zip because it didn't need it! " Thank you so much for sharing your makes!
I think my fav is the $1/yd black and white flowy top. You look like a million bucks in skinny jeans - ❤️
I love your channel! It has been so inspiring to see all that you have sewn, and I look forward to your monthly makes videos! I especially like that you don't try to copy the fabric shown on the pattern; I love seeing the pattern in "real life" on a real body after seeing the line drawing. Keep up the good work, this is a wonderful channel and you seem like a delightful, positive person!
All of your outfits are gorgeous on you & your hubby, but I absolutely love you in fall colors, so the beige jacket, top & cinnamon skirt just makes you look so together! Lord Jesus bless you & yours....Old Grandma👵❤
💜 after a long day, your makes, make me smile. I wish we could have a Vivmom makes every 2 weeks!!
Every outfit is fabulous, and I think you’ve lost some weight?!!!! I’m a girl of the 60’s and I just love those styles! And I remember the patterns as well. Thumbs up to Brad!
💜💕💜
I especially like the three piece outfit. I often tie scarves to my handbag to lift an outfit
I love the dress made using the Calvin Klein pattern and the colorful and bright fabric. You look absolutely stunning in it. I actually like all your August makes but the skirt you wore as part of the suit really surprised me once you paired it with the floral top.. That is a really cool and classy outfit to wear throughout the fall.
The first out fit for hubs was great on him. Really love your makes you made for you too.
I really like the wide leg pants and top, classy. The flowy have and white top is beautiful.
Love the jacket.
Ooh my, both of you know how to model the garments! And your vision s for the fabric is amazing. Love that you styled your hair different for every pieces. You know your stuff. You are always calm, enthusiastic and positive person.
I just love your fashion shows every month! So much fun! It’s great that you mention what type of fabric, great ideas too!
Thanks!
The fabrics match the patterns well and look so classy. It's cool to see both you and Brad modeling your makes together.
I love all your garments!! Brad's shirt and shorts... great and such a wonderful model.
Great video! Thank you!
Love your Makes in Minutes!!! WOW! You can't beat a dollar a yard!!! I really need to get Quick Sews' zipper instructions. These were WOW! And it's hard to believe it's already September.
🌺 So much of what you have made these past months are spot on. Everything you make looks so pretty on you. Love everything you made in August. Can't wait to see September's.
Yup. LOLOL! :)) Definitely ready for a flood. LOL. Love the navy n white fluffy top. Very busy looking, but very cute. Also love the jacket and total outfit. Would be a cute denim skirt. Goes great with the autumn blouse. That super long jean-style skirt would be great in wide wale corduroy and worn for a Christmas entertaining event, while enjoying cocktails in front of a crackling fireplace. Cute nightie redo. Great job on all your August makes. Thanks for sharing.
Wow! Some really great pieces. I love the second dress. The little scarf in the middle of the video, twist it around a purse strap or just tie it on the bag.
I am still working on my 80's shorts pattern and they just need a hem and closure button. I also sewed a yellow corduroy chore coat and it just needs buttons. I loaded a quilt on my longarm machine and I have been staring it down for a week now and still don't know how to quilt it. I think I am going to make a bag while I ponder the quilting standoff.
Your last dress fits you perfectly!
You never disappoint . Love all of your sews. Wish I could get out of my funk and be more productive with sewing. I see your beautiful work and get inspired but, when I have to find fabric, it all fizzles. I have tons of fabric but of course, nothing works with the patterns I have chosen and there is never enough fabric to make it. I try to shop online but, I just can’t get into it. Joann is my only option and I never find anything I like. I’m tired of settling for less than what I want. That’s why I stopped sewing years ago. Got back into the groove about 5 years ago but, fell into the same slump again and now just can’t get my sew Jo back. Sometimes I don’t care for the fabric patterns that you pick out but, you never fail to surprise me with the end result.
In one of your videos you talked about being discouraged to sew and that you just have to do it! I need to put that video on repeat, with loud volume so that it will sink in. I need my sew jo back!
Your “high flood” pants outfit looks great! On myself, I like full length pants, but the shorter length on you is great! The top of $1 fabric is gorgeous
So many elements that go into your process of being a creative designer, pattern choice, fabric selection, complimentary figure features. You really have the skills of a fashion designer. Such wonderful makes, thanks for all your lovely videos 😄
Loved all your makes Viv. Your fabric and pattern matches are spot on.
Beautifully done; chic and contemporary. They all look great on you!!
I’m a child of the ‘60s. Know this pattern and the stole or neck scarf totally works.
This is one of the prettiest “makes” ever! They are all winners! I love the navy pants and top! And that skirt and jacket are superb! Such a nice suit! Then pairing the floral top with the skirt is another winner! I would not have thought I would like the flowy top from the wide leg pants-flowy top pattern, but pairing it with the skinny pants is perfect! I do not like the wide legged pants with the flowy top at all! But separately with the garments you paired them with they are perfect! I’m so short that wide leg pants look horrible on me, but they are beautiful on you! I love them and wish I could wear them but it would truly be a joke! Ha! And the dress from from the 60’s pattern in the very modern fabric turned out so cute! I love those 60’s patterns and it is a silhouette I have always loved! It’s flattering on just about every body type! All the other “makes” are great, too! Winner, winner - chicken dinner! 😘😎😍
Hi Sharron, thanks for all your sweet messages recently! Appreciate it so much, and hope those broken bones are all HEALED!!!🙏💕
@@vivmomsews4962 they are! Praise God!
I so enjoy your monthly makes videos. Loved all your garments, but wow, that outfit with the navy pants and navy top with the big add-on stripe at the bottom was SOOOO classy. Loved it. Totally loved it!
Stunning garments. You are my go to for tips and inspiration. Thanks so much for sharing.
I’m swooning over the Calvin Klein dress with giant print. ❤️❤️❤️❤️Great job great on your August makes. I’m inspired!
Thank you so much for being such an inspiration to us all who love to sew and push on regardless of what happens to our brave efforts to make our owe clothes.

Love everything you made in this August makes Fashion Show. I also can't believe it's Autumn.
Thanks for sharing, & take care too everybody. ❤🙂🐶
So I came in here to comment about how I wish I could get you to come to my house and pair up my fabrics with my patterns. I kept marveling with every new piece you showed us. Great job!
Ps. I’m not even joking. Any time you come time lower Michigan, please let me know. You (and Brad) must be our guests!!!!
Great show Viv. I am on a cutting spree so I can clean up my plans. Got a lot of fall/winter plans. Never enough time. Thanks for sharing!
Love your cute "Missoni", and Bradwear, you make my day!
You look super in all you makes this month. Brad' are wonderful as well. The jacket and skirt are so perfect. I could see the skirt fabric as the jacket and the jacket fabric as the skirt. The babydoll dress conversion to night gown is darling on you. So cute. The Missouli print dress fits you perfectly. I was thinking the scarf wouldn't work until you put it around your neck, then "BAM" It is fabulous. The dress goes from ordinary to extraordinary. It creates a longer line from top to bottom. And it makes you look a little "SASSY". See. You don't know until you try it. Excellent results in every case. I think you have grown in your work since I have been following you. You are now "a garment designer"! I am never disappointed with your monthly makes.
You have the best wardrobe and look great in it all.
Brad is such a good sport. I love the look of the shorts on him. My husband is a shorter man and had a problem getting shorts to be at a good length for him. But I am not sure I would. Enjoy making shorts for him. He is real picky. Love everything you made for yourself. I was ohhhing and ahhhing all over the place. You must enjoy having something new to wear every month.
Love your sense of humor. You are inspiring me to start garmen sewing again!
What a good hubby he is he absolutely looks great in what you made him very proud of you I think! You are both such lovely people .
Love all of your creations! Great fabric choices, enjoyed seeing it all. You're so inspiring!
I should say...."You're sew inspiring! 😂
I just get such a kick out of your enthusiasm! It is always a treat to see what you have sewn up! That kwik sew skirt 2788 really got my attention and I was able to purchase it off ebay. You really have an impact on your viewers. I mostly gave up on sewing garments and you have made me gingerly get back into it. I too think that skirt will be quite something made of denim
I love the 60s Missoni-like dress👍 It looks modern when you wear it. If you wear it with a coat, when it gets cooler, I bet you won't feel odd with the scarf.
You look so adorable in the nightgown.
Love your white jeans too
Your outfits are beautiful. U look great in every thing you make. Your clothes never look homemade. You husbands outfit looked really nice on him! Great job. Love the fact he supports you in your love for sewing and fabric.
Thanks so much Vivmom! Once again, you inspire me ! I bought a Teeshirt pattern for my partner, so I hope it’s as good as the tops you sew for Brad. 💞🌹🌺
The panel print top is gorgeous. The navy blue outfit is elegant. I love the band on the top. Great look.
Your most beautiful collection to date!!! Inspiring!!
It is a lot of fun to see what you were making. When I finish knits I use a double needle to put a hem on it so that it has a more of a professional finish. You do need to use 2 spools of thread on top but it creates a zig zag on the back so it works well on knits. It will up your game a little bit. I never trust serged edges because if one of those threads start to come loose you can end up with a mess in no time flat. Keep sewing, its very therapeutic.
Hi vivmom I loved your video as always .I cannot choose a favourite as they are all my favourite thankyou for shering your makes you and your family are so wonderful you brighten up my day look forward to the next video 👗👖👕😊Dawn from England
I loved this fashion just as much this evening as I did when you first posted it! ❤
You are a real inspiration. Time to stop watching UA-cam and start sewing.
I love all your makes but the skirt and jacket is my favorite! Brad looks so handsome in his shorts and t-shirt.
Great job ! Loved everything, including what you made for Brad. You are constantly improving!!!!
I absolutely loved the navy wide leg ankle pants and matching top! Your so pretty in all of them though!
Thank you for taking the time to show your beautiful sewing projects for August. Amazing !!
Brad's looking pretty dapper there , love all your makes Vivmom , your navy ankle outfit looks so nice on you , as do all your outfits , thanks much for all you do....
LOVED that shift. Reminds me of the late 60's. Our taste in pants is the same. The navy is so clean. I would love that outfit. EVERYTHING was great this month. You were on a roll!
Adorable as usual! Your hair looks very cute that length! I particularly like your little check dress - so fresh! And Brad’s outfit looked very smart.
Side armhole darts are definitely a thing. I find them essential for a good fit; I have large bust on a small frame and there is always a gape. sew them into all my, even those I buy. I shouldn’t but I just baste them in and then hand sew them. It always looks perfect. I find either a high or low armhole dart will fix must gaping on anything sleeveless. Again another month of fun and creative sewing! Thanks Viv💕🌞
Loved all the pattern and fabric selections. But, Vogue 1802 is my jam. I Love that dress pattern!
LOVED that last dress though all your makes look great!
They are all awesome. I especially like the last, V-neck dress. You always pick great fabrics in beautiful colors.
Love love love all your makes!
Brad Dad looks spiffy!
Everything you made looks great! I really love that floral navy and white loose top and the brown skirt and Fall floral top together. Beautiful! I have fabric sitting and waiting for me and patterns. Have not had the “want to” to start something new. Just finished an almost king sized quilt and finished the binding last weekend. I just needed a little break between sewing projects!
Love these makes! And always love your shoes!
WOW I loved all of your makes my favorite was the skirt and jacket and the blouse and the night gown all very beautiful. Your my inspiration to sew God bless
It’s always fun and inspirational to see what you’ve been sewing! Lots of great looks! Thanks so much for sharing with us 🤗🤗🤗
Love what you sew this month. It always amazes me how good your choice for vintage patterns turn out, as when I look at the patterns I say No No that looks too out of fashion than I see your sewn item and immediately change my mind. .well done Viv you really do a wonderful job with all your fabrics and patterns.
I love all of your makes.
Makes are fab…..thank you for sharing x
Love every thing always have loved vintage patterns enjoyed the show ! !
Love all of your makes ❤
This is one of the best videos you've created. Your fabrics and patterns coordinated beautifully and you seemed pleased with the results. I'm impressed that you take inexpensive fabric and make elegant clothing.
Favorite is the blue crepe flowing top. All beautiful makes.
Love to see your makes!
Love that you wrapped it up with a wrap
She makes coverings for Herself. Proverbs 31. I read this the other day and I thought of you. Your the virtuous Women. ❤️
Viv, you have another month of winners. When I saw simplicity 9149 my first thought was ugh awful! You did the top and the pants justice with your choice of fabrics and what you paired them with. I love them. All your makes are winners. Great job.
Great fabric and pattern choices. I’m trying to sew through my stash and trying to match my patterns up with what I have on hand this is great inspiration.
I love that YOU sew, too!
My favorite is the navy and white top and the navy wide leg pants . You're so lucky to be nice and tall and able to wear the pants.
That sash would make an adorable band around your hair
Brad is such a good sport. The outfit came out fabulous.
Love them all on you. I am going to watch again to pick a favourite.
Great makes this month! Love all of them.
Oh my goodness! I loved all your makes. You have a knack for choosing beautiful fabrics.
I love them all. One top pattern I hated when you showed it but when you showed the garment it was love! You have a great eye.
Love all your makes!
You are a great way to start my day! All your makes are wonderful!
I’m so glad you have your mojo sewing back.
I just love your fashion shows!!
💕❤️
Love the blue & white wrap dress...so comfy & cute! And the flower border top is gorgeous ( minus the bow...except for a party 👍very cute.) Actually all the makes are great! And I love ankle length/cropped pants too.
