    I LOVE the dress made from $1 a yard fabric! The collar is classic, frames your pretty face. This is one of my favorites you’ve made.

    You made the right choice in not showing him the front of that pattern. I have two boys and I not only did it to them when they were young, I still do it to this day. I love your videos.

      Love all your makes! You are so productive. You certainly make a lot of different patterns.The last dress was particularly lovely. I like the length you made. 😊

    On my morning walk today I decided I would vacuum the house when I got home. Then I noticed this video and plopped down on the couch for half an hour of pure delight! At the end you mentioned you were going to vacuum and I snapped back into reality! 🤣
    So many wonderful, wonderful makes! The menswear all turned out so fabulous! And I literally laughed out loud when you said something like, "sewing... you never know what's going to happen!" So funny and true! I love your attitude about all your sewing experiences, even the exasperating moments. Such a good example to me.
    I love that green top with the green and pink skirt! The design lines are beautiful. The black floral motif on the black fabric did show up on camera a couple times - so elegant! About that $1 fabric and that collar: incredible deal! The collar reminds me of retro portrait collars, only it's circumference is smaller. I do like that it isn't hugging the neck though. I think it looks nice on you. Even the last top with the slit shoulder seams looked fine on your figure, but I think that's because it looked balanced with the pants you paired with it. And the caftan looked so gorgeous! You have such a flair for modifying garments to suit you! I struggle to think outside the box, or rather, the pattern envelope suggestions. Which reminds me of your comment about not showing Colin that pattern envelope! Oh my goodness, you have the best humor and personality!
    When you went on hiatus last year I literally cried for about an hour. Now I can't believe it was that long ago! Thank you for continuing to share your sewing, and snippets of your family and life with all of us! 💜💜💜

    @GrannyDi276 3 роки тому +3

    I agree with the other ladies....the collar is very classy. You look like a million bucks in that.
    You made me laugh showing Collin's pattern that you wouldn't show him. Those plaid pants might have done him in! 😄 Your children are wonderful....as is your husband. Love that you show linen & cotton pieces too! Lord Jesus bless you & yours....Old Grandma👵❤

    When you came out with the Kwik sew dress with the collar, my first thought was - wow, that collar is gorgeous on Viv.
    Again I have to say you have a wonderful family.
    Great makes.

    I like the caller. You should add the band to the bottom of the dress with the reverse side of the fabric. The blue chiffon print top is fabulous.

  • @robinsuebrooking
    @robinsuebrooking 3 роки тому +42

    THAT JUMPSUIT!!!!! It's fabulous! Can't say that enough - love, love, love it! The white pants with the black top is a winner as well - very classy. How on earth did you find the time to make so many things? Enjoyed all the makes and helpful commentary. Thanks for always giving honest, straightforward feedback. Just the push I needed to get a move on with my summer makes.

    Hi Viv i am from Adelaide South Australia and love watching your videos.
    You should be proud of the quality and the quantity of outfits you made for May.
    I especially loved the chiffon top - the print fabric was fabulous.
    The white pants looked great too. The collar on the dress looked very classy and loved the cap sleeves.
    Keep on sewing in June and keep up the high standard you have done in May.

    Only a little bit into the video but Brad definitely looks ready for vacation in Hawaii or something 🤔 Colin has so much flair. Very colorful young man.
    The first double knit dress needs a cardigan I think? It feels like a fall dress more than summer to me. It is really cute though.
    I LOVE the cabbage print! Novelty prints are so fun.

    The other outfits you mention that didn’t press easily look very nice on you! At least on the video the problems don’t come across! I especially love the pink and green cabbage skirt with the green top! A very cute set! Pink and green have long been favorite pairings for me! 😍👍😘

    Love the dress with collar, looks stunning on you. Toss the green shirt, looks like it is binding your bust! Pink stripe shirt can go too, the bust darts don’t lay properly and poke out. Loved the zebra caftan as well, very stylish! Love most of your monthly makes. The guys stuff looked great on them. Good sports to be models!

    @pennyhanson2598 3 роки тому

    Well, Viv, you’ve knocked it out of the park again! I couldn’t possibly say which is my favourite as they all look good on you and the guys! It’s really helpful seeing the patterns made up. The frill on the chiffon top is a lovely finishing touch. My problem is procrastination 😏 and not finishing what I’ve started. So, suitably inspired, I’m off to my sewing machine! Kind regards from Penny in Liverpool 🇬🇧😊💕

  • @charlottehayward5943
    @charlottehayward5943 3 роки тому

    A suggestion for sleeves that I got years ago sew the seam allowance on the bodice. Clip into it then slightly gather the sleeve. Leave the underarm open till the last. It works great for me.

    You are awesome. I use to get some of the prettiest fabric from Walmart for $1.00 a yard, and sometimes from Hancock fabrics years ago. They knew me so well, they use to call me at work to let me know they got new shipments in. Love the white pants and top. Keep up the great work. The young man looks good in his shorts.

    @nancyoppegard6665 3 роки тому

    A great fashion show today, complete with gentlemen! I have four favorite things to comment on: Loved the silver & white $1/yard fabric shift with a fantastic collar. The green cabbages are so Kaffe Fassett-esque...love that fabric (and that designer). Favorite top was the basic black shell with side slits...which will go with ANYTHING ! And lastly, the Vogue 9979 caftan...zebra print was perfect. If you ever make it with the hood, line it so it looks good on or off your head. Thank you so much for todays video...you just keep getting better and better!
