❤don't be so hard on yourself. Love the the jacket, peach shell and pants outfit. Looks very smart. Your other makes are also pretty. Love your posts. Sometimes we need simple, practical outfits.❤
I agree with so many of your viewers/followers.. we love seeing you create, give us reviews of patterns and share your oops. We have them too. I think that last pair of pants were so good looking on you. The sixty dress was fabulous too. Looks like it would be fun to wear.
Love the colours you use and the jacket! Some of the patterns are hard work, but you make it okay with you😂r humor, and perserverance and your fixes . Rock on with your bad self, sister!
Just found your Channel. I love it and your personality. I’m gonna go on a video binge. Thanks so much. I’m 55. Just starting to learn to sew but you give me hope..
Love love all the retro looks👍. Fantastic! Glad you worked thru the pleats… it teaches me to continue and persevere… when i struggle… i walk away then come back the next day and refreshed. Thank you🥰
LOVE your "Nod to the 60s" dress! Absolutely FANTASTIC!!! The other makes are spectacular too. They really showcase your fabric choices. The jacket is really cute and the top at the end is perfect to welcome the season and summer. Really great job. Sometimes, simple is best.
I wish you had a store for your clothes you sew! We’d all love it! Nothing comes close at the malls. Great makes for April! Sending love from soggy, rainy Oregon!
Happy Birthday!!! No facelift Needed!! I never would have guessed you were anywhere close to 60 ( not that 60 is terrible). You are an absolutely Beautiful woman and your inner beauty is as wonderful as your outward beauty!! HAPPy B*DAY and Happy Sewing 🧵
Hi Vivian! That video was so much fun 🎉 You dear friend and FAD leader of ours are anything but boring. Never, never feel like you have to "apologize for real" about the patterns that you choose, the rebel choices you make in fabric, or the unexpected outcomes, that turn up "here or there" as a result of having chosen the sewing road less taken. Be assured that you and your missing flipper intervention on camera makes for great fun and the most endearing, relatable hiccups we all share. You have such a great sense of humor. It makes sharing the effort to find those aspects of fashion --.past and present -- that appeal to our own likes feel like play. Everyone wants to look their own personal best; remake what is into something that may be more in line with who we have worked to become and where we might like to go next. Finding and then creating our own identity from aspects of the fashionista images modelled within our beloved magazines and pattern books. I enjoy being reminded of the cherished looks of my youth now labelled "vintage apparel" or seeing today's most modern, ever so edgy on trend designs. As you demonstrate, they do spark ideas for a recreated, updated version of yesteryear's latest FAD that lives on in our hearts. I enjoy following along as you bring life to life with creative adventure, colourful prints and fun fabrics and happy accidents. ❤ I, truly, do not think you should change the sleeves on your beautiful olive blouse. As a result of taking in the sleeves to reduce the the width, I think the end result added a kind of french tailored look that went beautifully with the pulled material swept to one side on the front. These two aspects, when appearing on the same garment, look intentional and add a higher, distinctive level in design. I vote for you not to change any aspect of any of your outfits. I loved each individual garment and every final ensemble you made. Thank you for the fun and great insights shared along the way! Vivmom Sews "Spring Line" is a Breeze of Fresh Fashion Fun! ❤
Happy Birthday Viv! We both turned 60 this month. I am with you. It is a funny sort of milestone. I loved the looks today! Another great collection of fabulousness! Thanks so much for sharing!
Girl! I turn 60 in August & I'm starting to freak out just a little bit myself 😳You don't look a day over 45. Absolutely gorgeous. Don't freak out too much & please don't get a face lift. You truly don't need one.💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
I love normal clothes. It's the ones we wear everyday and get the most enjoyment from. Making stuff for special occasions just stresses me out and then it spends most of it life in the closet. Always love seeing you are smiling face flipper or not. 😂❤
I can't wait until your fabric video! If I sewed 24 hours a day for the next 10 years I couldn't use up my fabric. I'm a fabric and pattern addict!! Loved your April makes. Basics are what we need in our closet. No one would ever guess you are 60. Maybe 45 but not 60. I'll be 70 in a few months. To lessen the shock I started saying I was 70 on my last birthday 😮
You may be 60, but you’re the best-looking 60 I’ve ever seen😀…I’ll be 83 in November and everyone tells me I don’t look it, and i certainly don’t act it…I was also going to get a face lift at a certain age, but now I embrace my wrinkles…I earned them , and everything else that’s sagging, bagging and dragging. I try to enjoy every day. Although my physical activity has taken a detour, I now do art journaling…basically making different sized journals from found papers,ephemera, scrapbooking papers and collaging them in my various journals…such fun, 😅and very therapeutic…if you’re interested, try The Paper Outpost with Pam…you can even use fabric and paper ….keep sewing, Viv …you’re my favorite, and many others’ too❤️🙏🇺🇸💐
You are so cute. I think you look sensational in all your makes. Please don’t change anything it’s all perfect and even more perfect because you are wearing it. You are a lovely pretty lady 🌹🌹🌹
Happy 60th. You are no way near needing a face lift! You look fabulous. It’s always a pleasure to watch one of your videos. You are just so enthusiastic!
There is the idea that we wear 20% of our clothes 80% of the time. Day in and out we tend to do the same things over and over, whether in the work world, or at home.😸 in the summer I am in the garden every day, so casual easy care clothes are what I need.
Hi Viv. I get such a kick out of your channel! I started out hand sewing doll clothes because I was too young (so I was told) to use our ancient black Montgomery Ward straight stitch. Finally i turned 9 and could legally sew in 4-H. That was 60 years and many machines ago. I love your reviews because you tell it like it is: the really nice patterns and fabric, the unfortunate choices, the awkward instructions, the fixables and the trashables. I especially like “rock on with your bad self”!!! Also I love that you make from patterns both modern and from past eras, and make them all relevant. Knowing how to sew has been a big part of my life, both here and abroad, for many reasons and I am glad that there has been a resurgence of interest in this very useful skill. You keep making and showing us what’s what! 🤗
Please don’t apologise for your video - not boring at all and your trials and tribulations with the Simplicity wrap top made me laugh so much. I always enjoy your videos and 🙏 thank you for them. Happy Birthday for your 60th. 🎉 You don’t need to do any work to your face, you are just making the rest of us plainer Janes feel very bad😂😂😂. I like the average everyday makes as this is what I make most of the time. I don’t have any need for fancier clothes these days. All the best. TS
It’s good to see you back doing what you do best. Clearly you’ve been going through something, which a lot of us do from time to time, so it’d good to see you refocussing and achieving, it will do you a power of good. Remember your followers love you and feel for you Viv take care sweet one. 🌹❤️
Happy 60 th Birthday Viv. ( From another 60 year old soon to be 61. ) Love watching your videos. No way do you need a face lift ! Your clothes that you make are never boring ! Love how you change things around on your patterns if you don't like/ get on with them. Keep up the good work ! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I don't think your video is boring. I love your makes, especially the last one. Cheer up! 60 is not so bad. I am 66. Just think about how much you can still do and all the good things there are in your life. You have a lot of life left in you, enjoy it.
There is nothing wrong with basics, we all need them. And I would much rather see things you'll wear and use, than things that you won't wear. I love what you make, and if these are basic -- vive la basic!
So glad to see this new video today. Beautiful makes, especially that last one . . . very Spring. Along with many thousand crafters and sewing community I despise the direction Hobby Lobby is taking. I look forward to your thoughts . . .
You look gorgeous in everything! As for "the sleaves"? I'd cut them off and make "shell-like" sleaves. You'd totally rock that look. Congratulations on turning Six-O! Now life really begins. 🙂 ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Good on you Viv for putting that flipper in! I know you don't like it! The clothes look great! You look great! Welcome to the 60 club, I'm 60 for a few more months. Time for summer sun dresses! ❤
Basics are good. You looked beautiful in everything. The grey skirt and top are my favorite. Hope you have a wonderful weekend as well. Take care and God bless. 😀❤️
So nice to see you sewing again. I love everything you made. Sewing is terrific because you will never see anyone else with the same clothes. Your choice of material is awesome. Thank you for sharing 😊
Hi VivMom, Who wouldn't love your Mod Fabric dress with front pleat ! I'd wear it in a minute ! Thanks for sharing your makes. Looking forward to seeing your newly acquired fabric. A couple years ago I took photos of things in my sewing room and I just looked at the pictures yesterday...thinking: Oh, I don't remember that fabric, etc...was pretty fun. As you can tell, I don't go into my sewing room enough. Have a great weekend! Nancy in Mobile.
Welcome to the Seasoned and Sassy Women's Club. At our age, we have realized that a wardrobe filled with basics does not have to be basic. We fill our closets with items that can go the distance. We add a trendy piece every now and then. Otherwise, we are good. So, rock on with your bad self!
Dear Viv... congratulations on your milestone. My milestone this year is 20 on to yours. We all look forward to your videos and your honesty with the patterns, fabric and designs. I love to sew and welcome this. No, your videos and fashion creations are not boring. We love them all.
Really like New Look 6305 jacket. I wouldn't add buttons or a belt, hanging open looks good. The pockets are a great addition. I liked all your makes, don't think they are boring at all.
Love watching what you have been busy sewing. "Also, you are so pretty!!" ...and it is such a joy to see what makes you happy!... We need more happy in this world, and you share it with so many!... TY!
Viv...you are the prettiest 60 year-old that I know, so you just keep being your BAD SELF! 😁Nice makes. Even though it gave you fits, I really love the style of the Burda top & the fabric is beautiful on you. The 60's dress is pretty great too. Thank you for posting a new vid. I ALWAYS look forward to them! I appreciate your hard work in getting them out for us.
Gosh you look fabulous for 60 !!! I'm soooo impressed with your garments. Very professional looking, beautifully fitted and made. I'm inspired !!!
Well, it’s 21 with 39 years of experience! And you look GORGEOUS!!!❤
Love your makes. My life does not call for exciting clothes either. Make what you love. 🥰
You may be 60 ,but you are vibrant, creative and beautiful. Wouldn’t younger people like to be you!
Never boring …..totally inspiring!
Not boring! I love your makes.
Charming and funny as ever. I always enjoy watching you Viv, and seeing what you sew. ❤
Always enjoy. Thank you. Swatches are a good idea! 👍
You bring Joy to my days. Thanks for giving me inspiration ❤
Boring? Never!!!! Great to see your makes !
I also love the skirt and top. I think you have a great eye for matching.
Your videos are not boring. 💕
VivMom!! Your creativity is NOT boring!! I love your video's!
I didn't think it was boring Viv. You are always enjoyable to watch. Thank you and I liked your makes
Your videos are never boring❗️
I love the colors of your last outfit.! Your makes were not boring.
I love the last outfit! I haven’t sewn in many years. You are a great inspiration and I hope to get sewing again after I retire.
You make basic paterns special 😍. Love watching you, always
Love all your makes, so co-ordinated. I like the longer loo grey trousers as they make you look taller than when you hitched them up.
I like the way the olive top worked out with your sleeve alterations.
It fits you beautifully
We all live in every day clothes. You are such a joy. Thank you for being you...😊
Basics are great. We all need them, so thanks for inspiring us with yours.
Love seeing you again! All the outfits look great on you. The first jacket was my favorite.
Oh my goodness, you would look gorgeous in a burlap sack!!! The clothes you make are all so stylish, I'm envious!!!
Always gives a true experience to dealing with a pattern. Done with a gracious manner also.
You look beautiful! It all depends on your perspective! I'm 74 and I'd love to be 60 again!!
You look wonderful! I'll be turning 60 this year too, so I feel your anxiousness!
I just love how real you are and honest, keep up the good work
Not boring at all I love watching your videos. You know your own style and stick to it and always look great.Keep up the good work.
❤don't be so hard on yourself. Love the the jacket, peach shell and pants outfit. Looks very smart. Your other makes are also pretty. Love your posts. Sometimes we need simple, practical outfits.❤

'Rock on with your bad self, sister' I am totally stealing that one- great makes, as usual!
Vic, you are NEVER EVER boring!!!
I love your 'basic' makes. Bring them on. Maree in Australia
My girlfriend made the pleat dress in 1968, and that rayon scarfiness was most acceptable!
You are just lovely and what you make is never boring!
You are knowledgeable and hysterical! Thanks for the laughs!😂
Happy Birthday!!! No facelift Needed!! I never would have guessed you were anywhere close to 60 ( not that 60 is terrible). You are an absolutely Beautiful woman and your inner beauty is as wonderful as your outward beauty!! HAPPy B*DAY and Happy Sewing 🧵
You are beautiful as you are, looking great for 60. I was 70 last week and stagger about cos of arthritis. Your health and mobility are precious.

You are a MAGICIAN with these videos!!!!! I am TOTALLY getting a sewing machine again & try again !!!! Thank you for posting!!!!!
When you make your own clothes they’re all unique, never boring. I love the 60’s dress from another 60’s child.
So do I! Loved the dress 👗!
You look fabulous for 60! I hope you celebrated in style!
Brown pant and plaid red jacket.omg .I Love it!!!
Happy 60th. You are no way near needing a face lift! You look fabulous. It’s always a pleasure to watch one of your videos. You are just so enthusiastic!
Basics are great! Most of us don't have lots of parties to go to or dress in suits for work. We just live! Thank you for your videos!
There was nothing boring about this video. I love Brads shirt. ❤
Happy Birthday @
Most of us wear basic clothing, not party dresses or tailored fashion. Love your channel.

Lol!!! I couldn't click on fast enough! I am 60 years old too! Love the introduction with the face-lift story...too funny! Makes are great!!!!
I would never have guessed 60 Viv but having said that it's the new 40! I love what you make.
I was going to say the same thing. Lol
Always a fun watch. Boring? Not yet!❤
It’s good to see you back doing what you do best. Clearly you’ve been going through something, which a lot of us do from time to time, so it’d good to see you refocussing and achieving, it will do you a power of good. Remember your followers love you and feel for you Viv take care sweet one. 🌹❤️

Great makes Vivmom. I didn't find them boring at all.
