A friend and I went shopping today for patterns and fabric inspired by you and your videos. We had a ball. Thanks for helping 2 widows rekindle our passion.
Oh how wonderful!! Thanks for telling me, Charlotte!😃
Thank you so much for sharing about the Simplicity pattern 8384 dress facing plackett issue. It is really nice to have someone that shares their experiences with various patterns. You are such a good example for other sewers to gain information from your trials with these wonderful patterns.
I loved your 1968 dress but of course in 1968 we didn’t use challis, well I didn’t as a teenager. It looks so lovely and flowy. I agree that the length is perfect and so elagant. I watched your video for a pattern I saw you holding , a loose top with colour blocking opportunities. It looked so lovely I want to make it now. It’s been in my stash a long time. Thanks for your super quick roundup. 😊
I thought I had too many patterns until I saw your your tube posts. Now I want to buy more. Love your commentary, honesty and sense of humour. Experiencing deep envy about your range of fabric and prices in the US. I'm from Australia and postage costs and aussie dollar value restricts buying from overseas. Brad is a treasure as are your children. Keep up the excellent work I am now a fan.
I'm from Chicago, I love your videos. Easy to follow. You are my dream of Genie sewing lady! Thank you for your works.
Aww thanks Gabrielle! I’m so glad you’re here!😃
As a decades long fifty two year old sewing machine repairman/rebuider whos primary interest are the Singer Featherweights and the Slant-O-Matics, I have no idea as to how I found these informitive, intertaining and inspiring videos yet as a proponent of encouriging the ability to sew by both males and females of all ages, I am most impressed and taken (in the good way) by this wholly likeable and internally lovely woman who is a glowing example of a skill that seems to be fading. My Beloved Grand Mother was skilled CraftsWoman who designed and made suits for a living and I know that she would love this Dear Woman and the encouragement that she gives. You are easy to like and watch and I surely appreciate you. Eddie Wood of the Crab Creek area of Henderson County North Carolina.
Thank you, Eddie! All I can say is we need more people like you!!😃
Your dresses were wonderful . Just be you and always choose what you like and feel comfortable in . I loved all of them . They looked wonderful on you . And what I love about you is you are a natural in front of the camera .
7536 dress is so pretty and what a great fabric. Thanks for sharing.
So glad that ponte is back in style. I have been sewing with it since1967! Easy to sew, drapes beautifully and almost indestructible.
Hi Karen, nice to hear from you! Did ponte go by another name in the 60’s? That was the age of the dawn of polyester. They’re so refined now and mostly a joy to work with. Ponte was a revelation; beautiful to sew!😄
Vivmom Sews The ponte I first used was wool and it was very fine. In the 70s, the poly came in and it was very practical but not as beautiful.
You had me at "orange shorts" !!! Love them! I admire you for sewing garments in ALL kinds of fabric. White dress...perfect for ANY occasion. I don't do buttons much, either. I even stitch closed purchased blouses with buttons...everything is pull-over...no gaping. New Look 6068...love. Last dress … 1968...my fav. I like it long, too.
My first time seeing this video. You are an excellent sewist. Every outfit sewn to look perfect and neat. No one would be able to tell they were homemade. Loved every outfit.
Viv, I don't care how long your videos are. I always hate when they are over.
To add to my comment on aging...my hair is turning grey, but I am comfortable in my body. I am who I am!!! If you don't like how I look, then don't look!!! You're slim and have great curves. All of the clothes you've sewed look stylish and very attractive!!!!
I so appreciate that you don't have music in the back ground of your videos...I find that ,using distracts a lot. You go girl,
I used to be an avid sewer. Now I go shopping for cloths and I am never happy with what I find. Upstairs I have probably 1000 yards of fabric but haven't got the strength to sew anymore. Aaarrrgggghhhh! I hope everyone that sews is aware of how lucky they are. Great videos about the joys of being your own designer . Thank you for showing the joy of home sewing.
Hello Marjorie! Isn’t it the truth that we should all be thankful for our sewing - and really for every single blessing and luxury we enjoy, as well as the basics of a home and food...and how could I forget clothing!😃I’m sad that you don’t have the strength for sewing anymore. But press on and I will wish you success in finding clothes in the stores that make you happy. About that fabric stash...sounds pretty marvelous!! Thanks for writing.😄🌺
Love the 1968 leafy print dress! I was 20 in 1968 and a sewist...although back then it was seamstress...and I remember a-line dresses.
I love seeing it go from pattern, to finished. You look great in all the things you make.Thank you for your help.
Luv every outfit shown but my favorites are the 1960 era patterns. Great job on the fabric types and beautiful fall colors.
I adore the last dress! So chic!
You brought 1968 back ro life!! Love it
Everything you put on looks fantastic. Just beautiful.😊
Aww thanks!!💕
I use to love sewing.All my four sisters and my mom sewed. Thank you.
Hi Judy, nice to hear from you.💐I have three sisters! My mom sewed too (but my sisters don’t, although one quilts.) I think sewing is just something we love through the ages, through the fashion trends and styles...through it all. We always have the skill, and we can set it aside when need be, where it patiently awaits our (hopeful) return. And then we have all the clothes!😃👍Thank you for being here and writing!
I was a teenager in the 60’s and really love that dress! I love all of them. It’s so nice when you describe the fabric and patterns that you put together!
Oh my word! The 1968 dress is stunning and looks so elegant
Thanks!😄
I used to see all your vids. Found you again!! Love you shows.
Hi Candis! Good to see you!👋
Oh my gosh! I love all your makes. You are so inspiring. I love your sews, your honesty and your adventures in sewing. I want to sew every time I watch your vids.
Loved this video and all of your makes! Such beautiful clothing, thank you sharing. Great fashion show 💖
Thank you Anita! You’re a doll. I’ve enjoyed all your recent comments💕
I can watch your videos over and over again. Love them. You make things sew easy.
Thanks Cindy! What a lovely comment!🌺
I love the dresses and the vintage patterns made beautiful dresses.
Oh my goodness!!! You look so good in all of the outfits!!! You are slimmer than me...as I've aged, I've gained weight and many of my clothes don't look good on me. Thank you for sharing....
Sept 2020 Missing you like I miss Sunshine in the winter!!!!! Will send you a healing TODAY!!! Love Ya 😃
Just came across your channel. OMG can you sew. The outfits you made are SO good. Way more professional than what you see in the stores. Keep sewing. Love your bubbly personality.
Thank you Jean!! Such fabulous compliments! If you could see me right now I have a huge smile on my face!😄 I wanted to start a channel where people could see doable patterns worn on a regular person. Nothing fancy here. But lots of fun. I am so glad you’re here!💕👍
I love these videos where you show the finshed product. I love your style.
Thanks so much, Linda! Bless you!😄💕
I discovered your channel today ... watched your July and August makes. I thoroughly enjoyed your fashion shows. As a matter of fact, you have inspired me to pull out my old sewing machine. I can't wait to get started! Thanks for the inspiration!
Fabulous news, Janice!👍Thanks for letting me know. I hope you have a ball. I am enjoying the new patterns so much. A lot of them are simple style lines that flatter and go together quickly. Many thanks for being here!💐
Love Love LOVE all the garments you made.You have such a knack for choosing the right fabric for the pattern and everything always looks wonderful on you. Keep those videos coming!
Well thanks a million, billie! How nice to hear this. I’ve had a couple flat liners with fabrics in my past, for sure. I will do my best to keep the videos coming!
billie fustin AMEN,👏🏻👌🏼🙌🏻
So pleased you showed us the 1960s winner. Beautiful!
I enjoyed the video. I like all the dresses.
I just found you, and now you've got me geared up to start sewing again!! When I was a teenager, I used to sew my own clothes. Then I got married and had four children and didn't sew anymore. However, I am a BIG knitter and crocheter. But I can envision me starting to sew myself some dresses again. I'm sixty, so not too old to get some good sewing years in yet. Thanks for the inspiration!!! You are sooooo talented and look good in everything! What a flattering figure you have!!
Welcome Julie! So happy to hear from you. When I read that you knit and crochet, it reminded me of my “The Surprising Benefits of Sewing” video that you should see - you’re doing yourself so many health favors.👍I hope you find some inspiration and entertainment here; my joy is to sew up patterns and show what they look like on a regular person. I have fabric to the rooftops and about as many patterns, so I’ll be doing this until “lights out!”😄Thanks so much for writing!💕
@@vivmomsews4962 Actually, I've been watching many of your videos this morning as I do my housework, and I did see the ones about the benefits of sewing. And yes, I've known the benefits of crocheting & knitting and creating--they give me such peace and sense of accomplishment. Sewing myself a dress would be wonderful--I don't like most dresses in the stores. I'll let you know if I make something!
I love the white dress, black shirt and pants with the rubbing. It’s so nice to see someone wearing the patters. I need one of those “me” models! Good job!
Hi Sheri, thank you. My aim is to show the patterns made up and worn on a real person, as opposed to the beautiful models. I’m glad you find it helpful, and also glad you’re here!😃
Vivmom Sews I just wonder who got all my baby patterns. Now that I have grandkids I pulled out the machine. All those cute princess dress patterns are missing! Daisy Kingdom - which are no longer made, I have yards of fabric. Doesn’t help when my daughter doesn’t like them for her daughter. Anyway, keep it up! You are inspiring me to see for myself. I just have to get to know the terms of fabric. I usually go by the feel. I’m almost 60 and love how you made those patterns. Thank you for sharing!
I know what you mean about going by the feel of fabric. Now it’s all different with the local fabric stores gone. I was nervous the first time I ordered online. And there was a little bit of a learning curve, a couple dud pieces of fabric, but not many. I read descriptions very carefully now. I remember Daisy Kingdom dresses for little girls - those were quite intricate! They would be a labor of love that I’d think any little girl would be thrilled to have.💕
I recently discovered your channel and I enjoy watching your makes and seeing your enthusiasm for sharing your work!
Well come on in, Sew Much Talent! Nice to have you here. Thanks for your very kind comments.😃
Those dresses were awesome ! I love how excited you get.
That 60s dress! 😍 I don't care who says you need to shorten garments, that dress is perfect! The collar is so pretty! Pockets were a great touch. I'm amazed by how much you accomplished! So many projects that suit you so well! I liked the format of this video too. I may give try ons a shot in my makes video this month 🤔 Great job Viv!
I’m so glad you like the 1968 dress at that length, Rebecca! I love the collar, too. Flattering for the “neck appearance challenged” which I have sadly become. (👎age.) Your compliments are so nice to read, thanks a million!
I love your longer length dresses. I love your cropped stretch denim pants and your last two dresses are awesome!
Aww you’re a doll, Nancy, thanks!!💕
I adore that 6871 on you! Have to HAVE it!! Love the fabric choice too!
Hello, I am revisiting all your vlogs as you were the first vlogger I discovered and still the one today my number one. To name a few reasons, your sense of style, fabric choices, colour coding and pattern choices. I love your love for vintage as it was you who encouraged me to go out vintage pattern hunting ( now I have to find the courage to make one 😀) so to say I was appalled is putting it lightly at the lady’s below comments on this video. I was so pleased you responded . It must be difficult as putting yourself out there, there will always be those you cannot please but I found her comments rather harsh and totally unkind. So you go girl as your number of followers speak for themselves. So pleased you are back clogging ❤️ PS I watch from Sunny, East London , South Africa 🇿🇦
I have made my own clothes since I turned nine years old. Haven't sewed in decades. Raising my kids, not enough space to set up a machine. Your outfits are way cute!!
I hear you, Donna - about space and time to sew. But may we pause for a moment of admiration: sewing your own clothes since age 9?! Wow wow wow!! You’re a superstar. Thanks for writing, and watching.😄👍
Gorgeous wardrobe! Thanks 😊
I love the blue and green and the pants you put with it! Great!
My favorite was the pink long shirt. It was absolutely beautiful!!!! Thank you for showing your work!!!! A perfect model!!!
I loved the surprise dress choice at the end of your video…. Such a cute idea!
Omg....my favorite was the last one...!! You look fantastic.
Thank you for sharing
Thank you, Milvia! Are you a baker?😋
I think that the looks like, burnt orange & brown on top is beautiful on you!
Fabulous! Your fabric choices are spot on! Very inspiring. Thank you. Will tune in again!
Bless you, Merri, and thanks! How nice of you to send me this message.😄💕
I found your channel a couple of days ago and I must admit I have been binge watching your videos and love them! You have a wonderful personality and are so inspiring, I love your choices of patterns and fabrics. You make me want to live in my sewing room. I am totally a fan!
Hi Kathy! Thanks so much for this lovely comment. Welcome!! Ahh to live in my sewing room. Now there’s a great thought! I could just stare at my fabric and match it to patterns😄👍.
Beautiful work , I love them all .
This reply is for Christine Diasio who commented on this video and said: “Everything you made was for someone fat.” My reply:
“And? So? Are you saying I’m fat, or just attempting to insult my style? What’s wrong with being fat? Look, I make clothing that fits my lifestyle. If you’re looking for tailored suits or corseted waistlines or whatever the heck constitutes clothing for “someone skinny,” you’re not going to find it here. I love simple lines that let beautiful fabric be the star. I make shorts and fitted pants, all kinds of tops and dresses. What a strange and narrow minded comment you’ve decided to leave. I don’t think I’ve ever read a comment as puzzling as yours, and I’ve read a ton of comments. Plus, D- on the kindness scale.”
Vivmom Sews I am sure missing your videos. But, I’m a “rewatcher “! Hope to see you back soon.
You’re reply was just spot on to this rude person! Glad you did not lower your standards. Well done.
You're such an inspiration. I love that Project Runway blouse.
Love the last 1968 dress!
Love video as always 🤗. I definitely agree with your other subscribers. You have a gift for putting the fabric with the right pattern. This is something I have not mastered.
Thank you, Elizabeth! That’s so kind.😄💕
You are stunning in the winning dress!❤️❤️ 🙏🏾🔥🔥
Thank you, yvetta! Those emojis rock and you made my day.
Girl u go down with that pink button up. It is nice nice nice
New Look was so adorable pink and blue top.... They all look good
Thank you, Leah! I love that top and wear it lots.😃
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous, definitely the winner !!
Aww, thank you Susan!😄💕
So glad I found your channel I will look for videos where you help us beginners with laying out the patterns and cutting everything properly.
I would like to do just such a video, Pat. Last night I laid out and cut some of the fussiest fabric ever. The worst! It was billed as “sweater knit” and it’s like glorified Kleenex. I’m really missing the “sweater” element.☹️I’ll choose something a bit more user friendly when I lay out a pattern for the camera. Thank you for being here. I’m enjoying your comments.👍
Geez you are awesome! You must sew all the time!! Beautiful outfits!!
Oh gosh, thanks Cindy. I’m not really that awesome, but I do sew a lot. I’m at a point in my life where my youngest is a senior in high school and I have time. That’s such a luxury and I know life can change on a dime, so I’m sewing as much as I can and enjoying the heck out of it. So glad you stopped by with your cheerful compliments!😄💕
Miss u vivmom and missed your videos ,u are a lovely woman in and out😘😘😘
That last dress 1968 is my favorite! LOVE IT! Also the turteneck top under that jacket--absolutely gorgeous outfit on you!
Excellent. I agree, you have a knack! So much fun!
thank you I got myself the new look 6871 and just bought the fabric for it so I was so impressed when you are shown the tunic how it looks
Viv, what a nice surprise... I some how did not see this video when you posted it.. How fun..
I loved your 12 makes.. SO very cute, and they all looked so cute on you.. Happy sewing.
Bless you, judy, thanks!😃
Thank you!!! Love your work and personality 😊 I haven’t even started sewing yet so I’m just dreaming up projects now, but the New Look 6871 colorblock top was the one I was looking at...I put that in the UA-cam search button and found you 😊 I’m so excited as it looks SO CUTE and you said it came together very easily 😂 RV living now until the house is built so sewing will wait- teaching myself
Knitting for the time being 😂
Oh you tricked me!!! U did both!!!! They are both beautiful!!!
I just had to do both, Debbie. I figured that way everyone would be happy, and so would I!😃 Thanks for watching and being enthusiastic. Your support is so uplifting!
You are very very talented.All the garments were beautiful.
Oh, thanks so much for these compliments, betty boo.💕How kind!💐
These are GREAT! Te white dress looks real iceon. you. Good style. You are a GREAT sewer. i got a new sewi machie2yrs ago.Still. in the box. Lord willing I'm going to start sewing sometime. LOVED LOVED LOVED the 1968 dress.
I love the way you can chane patterns up.. I'm glad I watched this.
Thank you, girlygirlwoman, how sweet!💕I’m glad you’re here too, and you’ll get to that sewing machine soon enough. There’s no rush. Life is busy.🌸I love that 1968 dress so much that I want to sew another one. So many projects bouncing around in my brain. I had no idea I was going to fall so in love with sewing again. But here I am!😄
Wow! Vivmom, what wonderful clothes you made for yourself! All the pieces look great on you....good job!
Thank you, Sue, I sure do appreciate you telling me this!
Hi Vivmom 😍 you totally rocked your August 2018 makes. 12 makes in 12 minutes? You are a legend!
Loved the fashion show. You look amazing no matter what you put on and you saved the best til last because I LOVE your sixties original.
Thanks for the entertaining video. Happy sewing!
You make it fun & worthwhile, solstitches, thank you!! I’m blushing with all these compliments.😊That 1968 original is a little treasure, I didn’t change anything. Not even the length this time! (They must’ve turned up huge hems back then.)
Nice job ! Those two patterns, top and shorts would be easy patterns to learn to sew with. Nothing complicated about them.
Absolutely true, Emilie. My lifestyle really doesn’t call for many complicated clothes. Since doing the RTW Fast, I’ve found that I can sew almost everything I used to buy. But I haven’t made underwear or jeans, don’t know that I ever will!😄 Thanks for writing.
❤ love all outfits.
You are a fabulous seamstress, enjoyed seeing all your designs
Thank you, Tonya, this is so sweet. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I have a lot of fun making them - lots of “costume changes!”😄
I want to thank you, thank you, thank you! You have reignited my love for sewing and I just love your spirit! Thank you also for just being yourself. It's so refreshing. God bless.
Well, that was fun!!! Good to see garments that turn our well - thank you. Perhaps I'll get back to garment sewing again!
Thank you, Elaine, I’m happy you enjoyed it!😃🌸
Hi, Wow you are So inspiring. Everything looked Awesome on you, Seriously! Sometimes I look at patterns and just scrunch my nose. I can't believe you've taken patterns, like for instance the cropped pants (you made them in gray) So, so cute. I would've never guessed by looking at the picture and seeing it on a real person how cute they and all of the patterns were. I think that is what really inspired me is seeing how nice they look in real life on a real person. The color combo's and fabrics chosen were fun and vibrant. Great Work I will Sub.
Hey, thanks very much R Vandenburg!😃You’ve crystallized my greatest joy with this little channel - and that is to show the garments made and worn on a regular person. Yay! So glad you enjoyed it.👍 I don’t normally crank out 12 pieces in a month, but it’s good to aim for. Now I need to think about my winter wool coat and I’m really dragging with that. Anyway, welcome!💐
I love your makes! My favorite was the white dress with the red buttons.
Bless you, Dee, and thanks! That dress is growing on me a little bit. But I don’t think I like those shoes with it. That’s an easy swap!
Wooow what a nice fashion show! I love Simplicity but in Canada we have no more..... love love all your makes! TFS. Christine
Well that’s infuriating. Why doesn’t Simplicity sell in Canada? Sorry to hear that! Thank you for your great compliments, Christine, you give me such a boost.
The dress was simply stunning!
Thank you, Amanda panda, you’re awfully sweet to say so.😄
Love love love!!!!! The color block is gorgeous!
Thank you, Debbie. I’m glad the colors work together. Color blocking seems like it would be so easy, but I googled “rules for color blocking” to figure out where to place the darker color. Most of what came up dealt with ready-to-wear, naturally. Still somewhat helpful.
Wooohhh I love the orange red and brown and I love the darts it looks great!
beautiful job...you are so lucky being thin.. and having a great figure ...you can wear so much..loved the retro dress
Aw, Mary, thank you but may I assure you that I’m not thin. It’s called “smoke and mirrors” - haha! I tend to avoid things that accentuate the waistline, as that’s a problem area for me. I do have height on my side to help camouflage flaws. Happy you’re here!😄
Hello! I truly enjoyed watching your video. You are very inspiring!
Thanks Carson! I appreciate it.😃
It's so much FUN watching your channel and I learn a LOT, too!!! 😊✨✨✨✨
You’re a doll, Miriam. I’m so happy you’re here. The more the merrier, especially with someone as sweet as you!😃💕
@@vivmomsews4962 😊
They were all great. Love the winning dress it was perfect the way you updated it.
Thank you, venusbell! I’m so glad you like it and don’t think it needs to be shortened.👍It’s a fun dress to wear and I just might make another from the same pattern. I bet I could easily add long sleeves. I’m happy you’re watching and giving me feedback!😄🌸
@@vivmomsews4962 Oh absolutely, they all came out wonderfully. You have inspired me to get sewing again. Oh and you rocked every outfit like a boss.
You’re a dear.💕I’ll tell you, watching the videos back to see how they look is an exercise in CRINGING TO DEATH!!!! Omg. But I want to show the patterns and the only way to do that is to model them. (Seeing them on a dress form isn’t quite the same, ya know?) I do thank you for your encouragement. It means a whole lot!!🎈👍😄
I love the 1960s dress. I actually had one in the 1960s!
I love all of your makes! I love the sixties dress on you and the different color looks awesome but my favorite is the sixties dress from the vintage pattern.
You pegged my favorite, too, Sew & Cher! There’s something about that design, I think I would like 10 of them. Thank you for your always-sweet compliments. So nice!
BEAUTIFUL 💎👗👒👠😎
Wow, these were all great . I have to dust off my sewing machine and learn to sew 😊
Hey, if you’ve got a machine you’re halfway there! Thanks, Malina, for watching and leaving such a nice comment.🌸😄
Every time you post a makes video I think "this is my favorite video" You rock!
This is so sweet, Charlene, thank you!!
Wow.. great video.Not a seamstress but certainly appreciate your talent.
Thanks, Marilyn, I appreciate your kindness!😃
Love all the makes and you energy! You seem fun to hang out with!!
Hello Dream Stitchers - that’s a nice user name. I think all the enthusiasm from fellow seamstresses here has given me a burst of energy!😃Thank you!
I love all of the sewing you made!!!
You have such energy that cheers people up. I can't wait to see see the auctions you won!!!
Your user name is great, Blessings & Favours, and so are your comments! Thank you so much. It’s really nice to hear that I might have a cheering effect for some. I guarantee that you cheer me up with lovely comments like this!
Wow I really love this channel I love all the garments that you showed and that you share the numbers because there’s some tops I enjoyed seeing and hope to make see you next week! 💕💕
I hope you make them, too, SuperBetty Boop! Thank you for these nice compliments. I’m glad you found me!😃
You're so skilled! especially using different types of fabrics...impressive and inspirational to watch. London
Thank you, Jill! So nice!💕
