    Just rewatching because I enjoy you so much. I respect your honesty regarding the patterns. I like that you discuss the process even when things aren’t perfect. We’ve all had a few failures along the way. I love to see you model them and explain about the nature of the fabric choices. I especially love to see your love ones on here. They also bring me joy. Thank you for all the wonderful information you have shared with us along the way. God bless you Viv.

    Me looks so much better than the original sleeve. Great fashion choices.😊

    I love your blue dress, it is so elegant! Your choice of fabrics are wonderful, the border print and the last fabric are my favorites. A seam ripper gets a lot of use in many of my projects but lately I start my garment with basting seams to check the fit especially if the pattern has a grown on sleeve which always seems to be too big and hang too low. Looking forward to your next video, happy sewing!

    Viv, you get the BEST fabrics, how do you do that? Most of us pick up one or two nice pieces but every piece of yours is stunning ❤. I liked all of the garments and it didn't look a bad month to me at all. I've been meaning to make that jumpsuit pattern for 2 years but it's the zip that completely puts me off, how ridiculous to ask you to put it in for the dress?! That's madness and life is just too short for that 😂
    What a win on those shorts, love the cute little patch pockets. Loved seeing your video pop up, thanks so much for your...as ever... top class honest reviews ❤ x

    Hi from central New York. When is your next video? You have inspired me to start sewing again. My Mom started to teach me to sew when I was about 4 or 5. I am now 73 now. I enjoy your projects and makes. I especially loved the white dress with red flowers you made your daughter. You are very creative and have a great sense of humor which we need with sewing those fetching little things that challenge us when the pattern has a mistake.
    Thank you for all you do. Really enjoy your videos.

    The blue dress is stunning and [I think] could change looks with a belt if needed. So many similarities to casual dresses with elastic waist. It looks like some less than helpful patterns, and doesn’t a good make start with a good pattern?!
    I love that pink border fabric!
    You certainly pulled those next dresses out. Could you use a simple type of facing or bias binding for the hem when it would be too short to turn up much? A TOUGH MONTH! A bit like getting through a Tough Mudder which was all the rage for millennials for a while. Who wants to sew through the obstacle course! Good to see you Viv!🌺
