You are fun to listen to and watch…Oh how I love your honesty 🤣..love it
Glad to hear a great sewist like your can still make a "mistake". Everything you made suited you do well. Just beautiful.
Learn so much when you share problems that you have when sewing. Thank you. I enjoy your reviews.
Oh, I love your videos! I have been literally binge watching! You verbalize all of the sewing mishaps we experience with such grace and humor. I SO wish you were my neighbor, it would be a lot of fun! I appreciate all your reviews.
My husband made me a clapper out of some scrap maple. I love it!
Hi Lynda
I like how you explain both the pros and cons of your sewing projects. I'm with you on all the different 'variations' of fabrics there are out there, many of which we know about verses those we sometimes challenge our skills against. I like that you made lemon-aid from a lemon, so to speak. I think that helps sewer expectations so much when we're honest about experiences as a way to encourage beginners and advance alike not to give up when they come to a bump in the road. Everything made here is lovely!
That Simplicity T-shirt dress has been my go for a few years. I love it with the border. Great sewing month👏👏👏
Thank you so much for sharing your mistakes with us! For people like me who are new to garment sewing it demonstrates how we can recover from a wrong turn.
Hello friend. I'm so thankful for you! You make me smile. I pray you are well and I love all your creations. Blessings on you.
Aww thank you Melissa! How are you? You are so disciplined with your diet - that is fantastic. I’m feeling well and staying active “motion is lotion” and it’s true! The days I am in the most pain are the days I don’t MOVE.
The blue shorts and green top. Perfect for these summer hot 🌞 days!! Thanks for showing your makes.
Hello Sonya
You make my day because you are sew authentic!!! And, you make me look forward to sewing. Thank you.
Thanks Linda!😃
A tip for tying a bow that goes straight across rather than crooked: it’s all in the first crossover. Tie your bow (or shoelaces) and notice which way you make the first crossover. Then finish the way you normally would. If the bow ends up crooked, that’s a granny knot, and it will come untied quite easily. Now untie it, and do the first crossover the other way. And finish the way you would normally. It’s a little awkward to get used to it at first, but the bow should come out straight across the shoes or dress. That’s an Ian knot, and actually stays tied! I learned that at 50 years old!
I love the 8595 border print dress. I go crazy for your color blocking and border print blouses and dresses. Just beautiful. I agree that the wide straps/shoulder really make the dress. It is a timeless classic detail that sets it apart.
I love you so much because you are honest about your sewing journey. I know people that will show you and tell you of their successes, but not their challenges. You did well. You used your knowledge to use a favorite fabric in a very flattering way. Congratulations! Your top is lovely on you. As usual your other makes are beautiful! Hugs
I always love it when you do your makes videos. Thank you for sharing your sewing life with us!
Love the shell top! What a rescue for that beautiful fabric. Short set was v cute, honestly, I liked everything. July was a good month!
Hello, how are you doing my friend
Love all your makes and your cheerful and happy mood. Makes me want to get up and sew something. You make any simple pattern special because you appreciate everything you do, I can see that because I have the same attitude for work but when it comes to sewing, I am kind of critical of my myself. I just need to relax and enjoy every small project I am able to finish. Thank you for making me reflect on my approach to sewing. I always enjoy your videos.
As always I enjoyed this video. All lovely makes. I like how you combine certain fabrics together and they turn out nicely. Thanks for the laugh with your party skirt. You had me in tears. But I love that you didn’t give up and turned it into a shell. Thanks again!🥰
Oh Viv, you thrilled me with all of your beautiful makes and then made me laugh out loud with your very humourous tale of "putting down" your glamorous gathered skirt. I'm glad there was, ultimately, enough material left of that fabulous fabric to make the little shell blouse. The shorts you made for Colin are so cool and most definitely do look like a pair of expensive designer made shorts. Kudos! Loved this video, such a magnificent array of gorgeous garments and such a fun, entertaining time. Thank you for sharing your talent, time, and amusing adorable personality!
Great save on the skirt! The shell looks elegant, and we live and learn.
Hello Rhoda
I laughed so hard at your skirt/pirate blouse (Seinfeld reference) debacle. Oh could I relate. I just love your makes videos. I love to see what a finished garment looks like on a real person, and you are so real. Keep on doing you.
Hilarious description of getting your fabric caught in your serger. I'm glad I'm not the only one with sewing mishaps.
The shell looks great! 🙂
Hi Nancy
Oh, Viv, the skirt story!! If only you had videoed the steps...what a great comedy!! I'm belly laughing!
I absolutely love all the garments this month. The fabrics are fabulous. Interesting learning experience with the stiff fabric and good save!!
All your makes are my favorite! You are awesome VivMom. I love the way you explain your vision for the fabrics and garments…and your straight shooting on the outcome. 💕
I love your tee shirt dress, I am glad you linked the construction video. Love 🥰 the lavender tie dress. The sleeveless border print dress is so pretty, love the material and I like the wide straps too. So nice for the summer. It is elegant and comfortable looking.
The peasant top dress is gorgeous! You do have such a vision as to what to make with different materials. I would never have thought that the material you used would look so good for your dress. I love your choices when you show us your materials, such beautiful and some fun, bold patterns, and I always look forward to seeing what you will make with them. I am a huge fan, and love your monthly makes videos. 😊💗💕
Watching your videos over the past several months has inspired me to get some fabric and sew some clothes,which I haven't done in over 40 yrs or so.Looking forward to getting back into sewing. Thank you for your inspiration and I love your shell top!
Yay Lisette!👏👏 I hope you fall in love with sewing all over again.
LOVE! I think my favorite is the flowy dress with the panel at the bottom....so summery and pretty!!
The black and red floral is STUNNING on you!!!
I love the Vogue dress...stunning! I agree with your neckline choice.
Here is one of the many reasons I just love you - I have B4812 and have wanted to make it forever. Now I see how cute it is! I also have S8595 and want to make it for just evenings in the house. Again, I get to see it done and I think it's my favorite of the lot. Those Kwik Sew shorts fit you like a dream. It was clearly a good month, brocade bungles not withstanding -
Aw Jen, thanks a mil! I think back to your messages to me looong ago and how much I always loved reading them. You spurred me on to keep at it! Many thanks!! Congrats on your wildly successful channel, too!👏👏
You are just so amazing and love to see you. God Bless you and glad your kitty is doing better. Thank you. I always look to see when you are on.
You are so much fun to watch in this video! Your honesty with fails and regrouping or do-overs is fitting for so many viewers but we don’t like to admit it😆 I’ve thrown away a couple of things because I just couldn’t imagine anything else to do with the “mistake”! Thanks for sharing and as always your efforts are appreciated! 💐
Loved the black dress with red border. Men’s shorts, so awesome. It’s so nice to see you.
I think that heavy metallic fabric was telling you “I want to be a shell!” It turned out great, too.
Awesome shell. I love how you can turn it around. Live and learn. I learn so much from from you.
Love all your makes ! I am so glad you could salvage some of that beautiful brocade! Yes a sheath dress would have been lovely from it. Oh well. Live and learn😊 My favorite was the black and white border print dress. And the peasant top lengthened to a dress is lovely! Great fabric choice for that one! So enjoy seeing your fabric buys come to life in garments!
Thank you. I love everything about the Butterick tie front with slits!!
I love your show and tell.
My favorite has to be the border print sleeveless dress. The fabric is so beautiful. But all your makes are lovely. Thanks for sharing!
Love the shell! You made me laugh out loud with your hot air ballon story 🤣😂🤣
Your videos always lift my spirits and give me inspiration, thank you 😊
Hello Karen
Love the black floral top with white pin stripe pants but then you showed that red and black dress. 😍
Thanks! I enjoyed your show. I'm working on a top for going out tomorrow. I like watching sewing shows while I am sewing. You have a nice day too. Later.
I love the last she'll you modeled. Very classy.
Omg Viv. I so love you. Gorgeous and beautiful. Love all your makes. So enjoyable to watch. 🌺🌸🌺🌸
This is wonderful!!!!! Awww……. You made a great shell out of your skirt that didn’t work!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!! See …we all learn so much from your experience! Really wish I was a fly on the wall for that one! From a hot air balloon skirt, to serging off fabric, to a blouse with gathered sleeves, to a beautiful shell you can smile about!!! Glad you were able to rescue the serger!!! 💕. Ok, now I must quit watching you and get something accomplished!
Love your metallic top/rescue in your last make. Beautiful simple use of that gorgeous fabric! I also think my other favorite is your sleeveless border print dress. I love how you used the contrast border part for the binding. You look so cute in all of your makes, however. Thanks Viv! 😍👍👍
Love you, Viv! Thank you so much for your generosity in making these videos, and your honesty in sharing both the triumphs and the make-it-work-anyway-triumphs. Beautiful work, and so inspiring, as always. I especially liked the first dress and the peasant dress on you, very pretty!
Fun fact, the green dress on the envelope of S8595 is in my daughter's closet - the exact dress that was used for that photo shoot. We always got to shop the samples that Simplicity was selling after their fashion shows at Sew Expo in Puyallup, WA. She loves that dress, it's a great pattern.
Thanks again for the gift of a wonderful makes video. You're such a blessing!
What a cool story, Sherry!! Shopping the samples! I have often wondered what happens to them. And who are the seamstresses toiling away to finish production in time for the photo shoots and pattern rollouts? I would love to interview some of the insiders @ Simplicity as I find it all fascinating.😃
Girl you are killing it in that Vogue dress! I totally agree about the neckline...all makes look good and thanks for the cool video❤️
Thanks, Viv! Another fabulous fashion show!
WOW! Great save with the shell! You look marvelous! Rock on.
Hi Viv, thanks for sharing your fab makes. Particularly loved the elegant black, floral dress which had to be sewn-up by 3 inches at the front. It is so special on you.
I like your makes more and more every month! It's too hard to pick a favorite to comment to on! What a great treat it always is to kick back and watch your videos! 💜
Hello, how are you doing my friend?
Love your makes ; your description of the party skirt so funny 😆🤣🤣🤣
Thx for sharing the skirt disappointment that became a lovely shell
You give us courage to try to reinvent our failures, and we all have them!😆
...been there done that. Nice to know 'special' others have too...
Hello Pat
beautiful!Im glad you were able to save that beautiful fabric!
Hello Jeanne
I absolutely love the shell made from the skirt!! Paired with the black pants, a million dollar look!!!!!
Hello, how are you doing my friend?
Hi Viv I love that jacquard shell and Capri outfit And those unique shorts for your son, those are cool. Love the fabric!
Gorgeous video! We all make mistakes Viv - you inspire us all to keep going in spite of our bloopers! Thanks from Melbourne for the ongoing inspiration.
Great fashion show❣️ Each and every look was a hit. Thanks for sharing.
Simplicity 8656 loved it.good to add length.
I love all the makes. I look forward to your videoes. You are so special.
This video was so fun and your July makes were wonderful... even your brocade shell. Your fabric is so beautiful and your clothing fits you so well. I really like Colin's shorts too, very cool.
You are such a motivation for me. So many of my next projects are inspired by your make. I am thrilled to report that I now incorporate more patters and colour in my fabric choices. Everything always looks fantastic on you.
Thanks for the report, Ali, and keep going!!👏👏
All your creations are beautiful; especially love the shorts and summer top ensemble.
Great save on the brocade tank. Luv those colors. Also loved the new look red and black leaf print dress on you.
Oh my gosh!!! You out did yourself Vivmom!!!! I like everything!!! The fabrics are just beautiful! Tell me...
You must get tons of compliments when you wear your makes! Just beautiful! I even like Colin's shorts! You are right....very Gucci.
Aww thanks Jo Marie! You are so generous!
Love the shell! Glad you persisted and found a pattern that worked.
Hi Deborah
Another fun video with my morning tea.
I get inspiration from your fabric selections and pairings. I will look for stretch rayon. 🤔
This afternoon I am having a friend's daughter, 18 yrs old, come over to sew. She has never used a sewing machine. YIKES! This should be interesting. I hope she comes away with an appreciation and maybe an interest in sewing more.
Thanks again for the video. SueB.
Love the white pants and the black and white top looks fantastic 😀
Hi Vivmom on one of your videos you showed a blue and white striped dress. I been sending your videos to my daughter. Please keep them coming. I hope your sewing projects goes good for you. It’s a joy to see the men in your life supporting you in all you do 😊loral
Love all your makes! You get an A+ for reinventing your skirt challenge! Have a Blessed day❤
All those skirt mistakes on the last outfit were very serendipitous, at least to me, because I LOVE it as a sleeveless top with those wonderful culottes! Also, I really liked both other tops a lot!
Hello Linda
Fabrics-gorgeous Makes-fantastic Fancy skirt story-hysterically priceless! Love all of your July makes! The visual of "hot air balloon Viv" floating in the sky will keep me laughing for days. 😂😂😂
Hello, how are you doing my friend?
Haven’t sewed for years and was never great at it but I really enjoy seeing your projects. I am inspired to get out the machine and try my had at making some linen tunics with wide leg flown pants. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
Lovely makes from you again. Thanks so much for sharing 🤗❤️💐
Great makes. I love your fabric choices. Thanks. Keep well 😊
Omgosh I love the flowered top with the elastic sleeves
What a fashion show! Beautiful!
Hi Viv!! Everything looked stunningly gorgeous.. Most of all, I’m in love with the sleeveless border dress….
💜💜💜🧵🧵🧵
Thanks for sharing. I have loads of fabric in bins to be used. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful makes
I am on a 2 week motorcycle trip with my husband and 5 others from Ky to Glacier in MT, through Utah, CO and back home this next Saturday. Thank have been waiting patiently for this video and it did not disappoint. I busted out laughing when you got to the last skirt/now shell. Viv, you are a hoot! I can’t wait to get back home and sew! Collins shirts are so cool!!! Very designer like.👍🏻
Everything looks great. How creative to turn the skirt from hell into a shell:)
Hi Mary
Everything is lovely I think the shell looks great and the sandals are awesome I like watching your videos
Love all your makes this month, and am LOL about your adventure with the jacquard or whatever. When you discussed it and planning a skirt, it sounded like a heavy taffeta to me. That kind of thing can work in a box pleated skirt, as I've seen. But knew it would never work in gathers. You had a good laugh I'm sure, at some point over it. The after skirt top looks great. Love the fabric on Colin's shorts. I think I recall you said the other day that the fabric was only $3 or so, so it was a fun experiment. A great Makes Show n Tell. Thanks for sharing.
Luv your " happy " mistake shell.
Thank you thank you vivmom for the fashion show love this type of format. All of your makes wasssss just lovely.
Wonderful makes! Love your style and that you share your makes. Thank you!
My fav was the outfit with the blue shorts 😊 I do love everything! Thanks for sharing 😊 also your sons shorts are really cool! Definitely with the current trends
I loved all your outfits. You make sewing fun. The first dress material is very cute on you
Love the blue border print the best!
Purple dress looks so good. Creative hacking. I made that up. Love it ! Everything you sew is BEAUTIFUL !
Oh I love what you make and today you made my day. Crying laughing at the skirt/top fiasco. Bloody hilarious.
I love people who laugh!!!👏👏Thank you, Amanda!
You are so beautiful and sweet! And very talented! Thank you for letting me learn sewing from you!
I love the loose fir black with the large flowers
I just love all the things you made. Makes me want to start sewing again.
Hello Linda, how are you doing my friend?
Great month of makes!! I think you did great. Loved the party dress story !
Thank you Vivmom ! You are wonderfull and your sewing are wonderfull too 🤩
You made me laugh when you said you had to remain true to your vision. 🤣
