Hi Vivmom I wanted to make sure you know about lump on your upper back next to spine. I am an RN and I just wanted to make sure you know it is there. I love all your videos and all you makes today were beautiful! Love your personality and attitude; you're a great morale booster to many😀
Oh man, how could I not? I hate that stupid thing!! It’s a harmless lipoma and I want it removed (naturally) but it will require surgery and with Brad’s business starting the timing isn’t great (insurance.) I truly hate that thing and I saw it was very noticeable on this video and just decided to say, “oh well. That’s me. Ain’t nobody perfect.”😂
Aww thanks Kat. My doctor is on top of it, I’ve had it checked many times and it’s just...UGLY. Thankfully that’s all it is, lol. I can’t wait to have it removed, although I may also be kind of disfigured from that, too.😭
Lipomas are very common and can grow to be huge. My daughter had a lipoma removed from her breast of all places just last month. Yes, it was benign and she’s very happy that’s all behind her now. I enjoy your makes, Viv! 😊
I love everything! Even the pants you disliked. Whatever the issue is, it did not show in the video. The skinny jean looking pants are just dynamite! The trim is a crochet lace. It was my favorite thing to use as trims on little wreaths I sewed back in the 80s. I still love it and your use of it is darling.
Hi Viv, you just make my day, you have given me such joy, I’m living on my own for the first time In my life at the ripe old age of 69. As a teenager I made all my clothes on an old treadle machine and I loved it, so I’m going to give it a go again, will let you know how I go. Keep up the good work, you are such a loveable personality, sending you greetings from the wonderful Central Coast, near Sydney in Australia 🤩
Hello Helen! Thanks for this wonderful note. If you decide to take up sewing again, I am sending you wishes for success and enjoyment! Let me hear from you again!😃💕
That 1st dress is my very FAV! I love the straps and the drape and the color and the fabric. Great fix on the fancy dress. Those skinny pants sure do LOVE your legs! You look amazing in them. Everything is super cute, and the zipper in those "strange zipper instruction" pants looks perfect from my view. I have several of those patterns in my stash. Thank you for the fun fashion show!
Viv, you could make reading the phone book sound gracious and entertaining (meaning I love ALL your videos) but your 'makes' are the ones I look forward to each month the most. You work so hard to create awesome clothes and outfits and we get the fun of watching your fashion show. You inspire me to get my sewing machine dusted off and put to use after the long gardening season. All I managed to sew this summer were the lace dusters for the challenge. We've had snow already so I want to sew some cozy clothes. Loved your ITY dress and the yellow duster outfit and anytime you wear skinnies you look like a fashion plate. Thank you again!
Oh my goodness Molly! Snow already, where are you? I'm in Northeast TN and it's been in mid to high 80s this week! I wore one of my fall makes Sunday and felt stupid cause it still feels like summer!
Thank you so much Viv for your friendship in the sewing blogs. You make me want to sew 24/7. But I have to sleep sometime. You give me confidence to do different patterns that ive been putting off. Thank you so much. By the way, you have a great figure. I must loose some weight 😀
You re so impressive! I just cannot imagine making 14 items in 1 month plus all the videos and everything else you do. Thank you for sharing!! You are very inspiring!
I thought I was going to die laughing when you couldn't think of the lace trim and said "send help"!! I feel that way alot. Ty for all your videos, appreciated!!
I love them all, of course. I especially love that you model them and talk about how you worked with the fabric and the pattern. My favorite was the 1st one with the circle skirt. I just hung beautifully. Thanks for showing us what you did.
That circle skirt dress is beautiful and you look stunning in it. Wear that dress someplace nice for dinnner before the weather gets too cool. You looked beautiful.
You look adorable in your fashions. Can't wait till I get my cataracts taken care of (probably december) I want to try sewing again. I used to sew but haven't since 1984. Lol Anyway I love your videos like this one and you are an inspiration while I'm waiting. Thanks much and God bless you and your precious family. See you again
Everything was just "sew"! Thanks so much.. Loved the tunics. Love layering for fall and winter. You are the best. Short jackets paired with tunics are my fave!
These sewn garments are just amazing, Viv. I look forward to any and all tutorials you put together because I need them and I know you'll demonstrate them to where even I can figure it out. Thanks for sharing.
Love love love the flowered full circle skirted dress! I’ve just subscribed to your channel and I already have wardrobe envy 😉. I am a beginner sewist. My mom used to sew when I was little and because life happened I didn’t get to learn how to sew from her. Now she is no longer with us I will have to figure it out for myself. So I’m very grateful for your willingness to share your fixes and hacks with your viewers. Thank you so much!!! Also I’m amazed at the amount of makes a month you manage, you must be super super quick at sewing.
Lady in "blue". This color looks fabulous on you! I miss your makes! What a treat today for me. Took a break on life and Vivmom was waiting to be seen! What a variety of outfits! What fun! I remember my caften I made in Junior High or like my kids say, middle school. I had snuck and shaved my legs for the first time with my dad's heavy metal razor. Cut my legs up badly. Thought that I had it solved by placing toilet paper on it. Next thing I know, I am sitting eating dinner and caften got "stuck" on my leg. Later, my mom who had seen on the blood spotting all over my cream colored caftan was yelling at me for shaving my legs! Lol!!!!!!!!! So I can never make another caftan!!!!!! Lol!!!!!! Good times!!!!!!
It was sooo good to see the fashion show. Didn't realize how much I missed it. I absolutely adore the blue floral full circle dress. So many great garments.
I love your videos. I watch for them and get excited to get a new one. I don’t know how you get 14 outfits done in a month. Their all so pretty. I like them all. And you are the cutest. Thanks for all your encouragement.
Hello Vivmom, I just wanted to thank you for being you and your fab videos. I had just returned home after having spent two days with my very demanding elderly father. I was worn out!! Everything ached....I just wanted to crawl under the covers. But I put on the tube and there you were with your Sept. makes. Within 10 minutes you made me laugh and warmed my heart with your enthusiasm and passion for sewing . I got up and started to go through my patterns to make a midi dress for an occasion this Saturday. Prior to viewing your video today, I was not sure I would even attend. But you got me motivated to not only attend by make a dress for the occasion!! Thank you for being you and God Bless!!
Aww Diana, thanks so much for writing. This message makes me happy! Eldercare is no joke, and parents can call forth so many clashing emotions. It is exhausting physically and mentally. Be sure to rest a bit if you can grab some time. Of course, I’m thrilled to hear that you’re sewing! Go you!! Sending love & support!💕
OMG! Lovely, lovely makes! (Even the ones you mentioned with issues!!). You’ve inspired me! You made 14 pieces since we last saw you? WOW! I need to light a match under my “you know what”! There are a couple of patterns I’d really like to get and make for myself too! Thanks Ms. Viv! 😘
Love all your makes! Wish I could get more accomplished but when I get home from work I don’t want to sew😢! I love to sew in the morning and work until early afternoon so as soon as I retire or quit I will be in heaven! Carry on!
Put your feet up when you get home and relax, Verna! I have the luxury of time these days. I know it could always change suddenly, we do have elder parents nearby, and this business start up of Brad’s is about to do me in🤪but I would be hard pressed for sewing motivation if I worked full time. You’ll get to your sewing when it’s a good time for you; no need to rush or worry. Weekends are good, too, but they go by in a blip!!
You look good in everything you made. The fabrics you chose fit the patterns so well. That's my problem. Wrong size and/or wrong fabric. Absolutely love all ur videos!
Love your videos, I'm a relatively new viewer but you are just such fun and informative too. Love the way you talk about being intimindated by patterns even though you sew loads, makes me feel better. Thanks, Sarah
I think we all agree that the blue print dress with the circle skirt was the loveliest on you!! That should be your fancy dress!! You fancy dress looked like the waist should have been higher or lower-somehow looked like the wrong place for it! You have a lovely figure and everything looks good on you!
Have not sewn a thing for a month because I'm too busy...you've inspired me. Love the first dress and I really like the kwik sew back gathered panel tunic. You did a great job with the fabric placement on that piece and that outfit makes you look 30 yrs old.
Wow Viv you out did yourself this month! Great as always. Love your personality. Such a pleasure to watch and learn. Bring on those tutorials! Can’t wait for next months makes!
I love seeing what you make. Some of the pattern instructions can be so over complicated. Like you I make adjustments to things, you have done fabulous work once again. Xx
What a great variety of styles, colors and fabric choices -- can't believe you would be "intimidated" by any pattern/company. Like your sharing insight/problems/modifications to the original patterns. Always fun to watch and see your finished designs!!
Whoa. Were you on an intravenous feed in September? Did you stop to go to the bathroom? Were you chained to that Brother? That is one HUGE list of makes! And all so pretty! I was explaining to my daughter who Mrs. Roper is while she ooohed and aaahhed over your muu muu. She's my youngest, visiting for a couple of weeks and the only one whose fashion requirements are simply that "it's soft and comfy." Caftans to the rescue! She loves them! That knit circle skirt dress is a stunner. You look like you've lost weight, not that you (quite honestly) had any to lose. I also loved the babydoll top and disaster pants - cute combination despite the construction. But the real winners for me are those KS skinny pants. Everything with them was wonderful! You completely redeemed NL6340 for me, only goes to show that the fabric choice makes all the difference. That chambray dress is perfect for fall and give me chambray all day err day! (gah I LOVE Tencel!) I love the way you altered the fancy dress and I think that one is probably even prettier in person. The layering tank is wonderful - I hope I got that pattern, I know I thought about it but I can't remember if I did. Your kimonos/cardigans were all so light and airy and comfy and perfect for this transitional weather. Well done! Seems like September was all about clothes that fit and flatter your body - and you seriously nailed it! xo
Hi Jen! Thanks for the spectacular comment. Awww, so sweet! I’ve bought Maxi Lock from Wawak and it’s great, although kinda small. But lots of good colors and performs well. I’ve gotten the enormous spools from Vogue Fabrics Store (online) and they’re okay but def “lintier” than Maxi Lock. Thanks again for always giving me a boost!💕
Great JOB. So cute. I love the block animal print top and skinny pants. You looked 18 years old. hahaha.... I love it on you. Thank you so much. Everything is lovely. ~ L
You still amaze me with your skills. I was working on New Look 6643, making the skirt version. I struggled with the zipper instructions. I searched for examples on how to sew a zip as you did and found nothing like the patterns. Thank you for making me realize it was the instructions! Even though you did not like the pattern, the pants are cute on you! Thank you for inspiring all of us to sew and expand our wardrobes from just jeans and a t-shirt.
Hi Diana! I just couldn’t fathom what they were saying. Line up your zip lines and then you have an overlap?! That ain’t possible!! I also made the waistline and waist band bigger by the same amount but the waist band came out too small. There wasn’t much to like about this pattern but I do like the shape of the legs. It definitely isn’t you, it’s the pattern!!
@@vivmomsews4962 The only reason I was able to make it work is that I increase the size at the waist. I agree it was a mess. Too bad I like the look of the pants.
Grear to see a Makes Video appear again, thank you so much. Of all the vlogs these are the ones that are so much help to all of us. Seeing the patterns, fabric and the garment on an actual person helps enormously when choosing future fabric and patterns. Thanks again and happy October to you 😊.
That first dress is perfect on you! Love that style. The vogue ity turned out really well too. I can't believe how many things you got done! Incredible
Hi Viv,have you had your hair trimmed? I do envy you your hair........ The second dress you modelled is the nicest dress I have seen in a very long time,and you looked awesome in it...gorgeous. I love the skinny jeans too. You have had a very busy September,I’m guessing you have very early mornings and very late nights...could I have just a couple of cups of your energy please?! Have a lovely week sweet lady xxx
Hi Vivmom Just watching you here from UK England. Love your Fab makes and your bubbly personally. You have so much enthusiasm. Love it. Keep on Sewing .
Saw your video for the first time today!! Your are sweet and a very good seamstress. I was called Vivi Lynn growing up. Short for Virginia Lynn. Thank you for sharing your talent!! Love your hair!!! Blessings!
Haha! The vintage pattern is like the muumuu I made in junior high home ec a million years ago but you made it cute and currant. All nice outfits. I have a couple of those patterns so I love seeing them made up. Well done as usual.
Yay! Got to watch your fashion show today! Such cute transition pieces. I love the ITY dress--you can wear that into winter too with tights and a sweater or jacket. Your toppers are very cute. The pull on panits are awesome on you. Such great pieces all of them --so nice to see you in my new videos!!XO
You choose the nicest fabrics,colors and pattern styles.You also look gorgeous in everything you make.I haven't seen in a long long time, but you're making me want to dust off my 2 machines and try sewing SOMETHING again lol🙂🙂.I love e watching everything you do.
Thank you so much, Ellen. I want to encourage you to dust off those machines if you feel like it. Then again, sit back and rest awhile. Women work hard; only sew if it’s something you’ll find fulfilling and enjoyable!💕
I Have to tell you how much I enjoy your videos. I especially like you Make Videos. When I see how pretty something looks on your and you give the pattern number, I jump on eBay and look it up to buy, or write the number down for future use. Don’t listen to peoples bad opinions, only the good ones. And I like videos longer than 15 minutes and the longer we watch your videos the more income it brings you. Keep sewing and posting!
Wow. I am amazed at how much you accomplish. Beautiful makes! Thank you. Thank you. I’m a little tempted to try the skinny pants - they look so great on you. Love, love the strappy circle skirt blue floral.
Great makes Viv! I love all of them. I’m behind on my videos. Hope to catch up soon. All your makes look gorgeous on you. Your vision from pattern to finished garment is amazing. You sure know how to envision the outcome. Hope all is going well with the new business. Keeping you in my prayers. I have some life changes going on right now. Prayers welcome. Have a great day Sweetie! 💜🤗💕😘🙏🏻❤️
Viv, I really appreciate you and your videos. I first found you a few months ago and you have gotten me interested in sewing again. Thanks. I recently came int many yards of vintage woolens, including some Pendleton’s. Yes, I understand when you get intimidated by something because I really am! Love you.
Wow, Sue, Pendleton wools are the gold standard. Sending you many wishes for sewing success. I haven’t done a thing with the one large piece of wool I’ve got - it was supposed to become a winter coat two years ago.😳
Hi Vivmom - I was all set to pick a favorite when I saw the second (Vogue) twirly dress, but then the new "favorites" just kept being shown. Obviously I love what you create. Thank you for the inspiration!
Oh my goodness! I just can't get over how talented you are!! All the outfits are fabulous! You look terrific in them. You've really got an eye for matching the fabrics to the right patterns. I walk in a fabric store and I'm just confused. You're so inspirational! Thank you!!
Beautiful makes as usual Viv. My fav is that Vogue dress. It looks stunning on you. Love the skinny pants with the 2 toned gathered back top. I wish I could so as much. Keep it up 🙏👌🌸🦄🦄😍
Hi Vivmom! I love the 1960's duster. V9101 worked out good. Cute little knit top worked out nicely. The hacking patterns worked out great. The dusters are nicely matched up to make a complete outfit. I remember those baby doll tops, brought back memories. I love the one seam pants and top. A video about how to insert the square panel would be very interesting to see. It might be a good idea to sew double seam binding on the seams so they don't fray. The crochet trim on the inside neckband worked out nicely on the duster. A tutorial on s8724 would be good to show beginners how to sew fold over binding. The hacking caftan looks comfortable. Did you make that once before? I have finished sewing Harry's shorts, shirts, and pj's for our 4 month trip to Florida. I will now start on my garments unless he wants something else. Any teaching videos and tutorials would really be very helpful to everyone. Keep up the good work and have fun. Anna-Marie
Love the pants outfit with color block top made with animal print fabric. It looks great on you. Your September sews are so nice! Your fabric choices are interesting and work well.
Definitely forthcoming, Debbie! I need to grow out my fingernails so I don’t die of embarrassment when I film sew-along-close-ups. Old, old habits can be beastly to break!! Thanks for your encouragement.😃
Viv your 2nd dress is so flattering on you. The top portion fits you so well. Thank you for your comments about pant patterns. When you are a curvie person like me. pants are already difficult and the fit I think is more noticeable with pants; flies are difficult enough. So thank you for the support. Hopefully the big 4 are listening. Happy October sewing.
Hi Vivmom, love your videos!!! I have been watching for months & you inspired me. I have set up a sewing area in my home & started sewing. I have never made something for me to wear, but that’s the plan. Thank you for sharing your makes. I’ll keep watching.
Once again, your makes were great! Loved the blue Vogue sun dress; it was very flattering. And put large patch pockets on the (prison) shift at the end; they’ll go perfectly with that style. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hi Vivmom I wanted to make sure you know about lump on your upper back next to spine. I am an RN and I just wanted to make sure you know it is there. I love all your videos and all you makes today were beautiful! Love your personality and attitude; you're a great morale booster to many😀
Oh man, how could I not? I hate that stupid thing!! It’s a harmless lipoma and I want it removed (naturally) but it will require surgery and with Brad’s business starting the timing isn’t great (insurance.) I truly hate that thing and I saw it was very noticeable on this video and just decided to say, “oh well. That’s me. Ain’t nobody perfect.”😂
Cindy S I noticed it too. Most likely a lipoma, which is benign, but you should get it checked out.
Sorry. Just saw your reply. We’re just looking out for you Vivmom! Love your makes!
Aww thanks Kat. My doctor is on top of it, I’ve had it checked many times and it’s just...UGLY. Thankfully that’s all it is, lol. I can’t wait to have it removed, although I may also be kind of disfigured from that, too.😭
Lipomas are very common and can grow to be huge. My daughter had a lipoma removed from her breast of all places just last month. Yes, it was benign and she’s very happy that’s all behind her now. I enjoy your makes, Viv! 😊
Thank you for making our days more fun and informative.You are Precious
I love everything! Even the pants you disliked. Whatever the issue is, it did not show in the video. The skinny jean looking pants are just dynamite! The trim is a crochet lace. It was my favorite thing to use as trims on little wreaths I sewed back in the 80s. I still love it and your use of it is darling.
Hi Viv, you just make my day, you have given me such joy, I’m living on my own for the first time
In my life at the ripe old age of 69.
As a teenager I made all my clothes on an old treadle machine and
I loved it, so I’m going to give it a go again, will let you know how I go.
Keep up the good work, you are such a loveable personality, sending you greetings from
the wonderful Central Coast, near Sydney in Australia 🤩
Hello Helen! Thanks for this wonderful note. If you decide to take up sewing again, I am sending you wishes for success and enjoyment! Let me hear from you again!😃💕
Love those toppers! Everything great!
That 1st dress is my very FAV! I love the straps and the drape and the color and the fabric. Great fix on the fancy dress. Those skinny pants sure do LOVE your legs! You look amazing in them. Everything is super cute, and the zipper in those "strange zipper instruction" pants looks perfect from my view. I have several of those patterns in my stash. Thank you for the fun fashion show!
I guess it was the 2nd dress I was describing.
Me too. Great style, fabric, total winner!

I thought I was going to die laughing when you couldn't think of the lace trim and said "send help"!! I feel that way alot. Ty for all your videos, appreciated!!
They all look great. I'm so glad you're back with your 'makes' videos. I love them. Thank you for sharing.
I love them all, of course. I especially love that you model them and talk about how you worked with the fabric and the pattern. My favorite was the 1st one with the circle skirt. I just hung beautifully. Thanks for showing us what you did.
That circle skirt dress is beautiful and you look stunning in it. Wear that dress someplace nice for dinnner before the weather gets too cool. You looked beautiful.
You are Amazing! Seamstress.Beautiful.and you give us Hope that we could one day make ourselves beautiful clothes.
Of course you can, Cathy! I have no doubt about that.💕
That last dress is my favourite too.
You look adorable in your fashions. Can't wait till I get my cataracts taken care of (probably december) I want to try sewing again. I used to sew but haven't since 1984. Lol
Anyway I love your videos like this one and you are an inspiration while I'm waiting. Thanks much and God bless you and your precious family. See you again
Love them all! Yes, PLEASE do a tutorial! I love when you do this! Thanks for all your hard work, Viv! Hugs
Oh boy, where would I start. Beautiful makes. My favorite is the ITY circle skirt dress.
Everything was just "sew"! Thanks so much.. Loved the tunics. Love layering for fall and winter. You are the best. Short jackets paired with tunics are my fave!

Love your plum colored dress. I like the shiny vs matte materials. You look awesome.
You look good in everything you made. The fabrics you chose fit the patterns so well. That's my problem. Wrong size and/or wrong fabric. Absolutely love all ur videos!
Loved loved the fashion show loved everything !! So happy😉😄👍🙏

I really like the spaghetti strapped dress. That material is beautiful and of course the skirt part is a what every girl dreams of no matter the ago.
Have not sewn a thing for a month because I'm too busy...you've inspired me. Love the first dress and I really like the kwik sew back gathered panel tunic. You did a great job with the fabric placement on that piece and that outfit makes you look 30 yrs old.
Enjoyed ALL your makes! Thanks SO MUCH for sharing!
That vogue dress is gorgeous! All your makes look great on you...wish I had your figure!
Thanks Viv what a fab selection of makes you are inspirational.
Wow Viv you out did yourself this month! Great as always. Love your personality. Such a pleasure to watch and learn. Bring on those tutorials! Can’t wait for next months makes!

Great JOB. So cute. I love the block animal print top and skinny pants. You looked 18 years old. hahaha.... I love it on you. Thank you so much. Everything is lovely. ~ L
You still amaze me with your skills. I was working on New Look 6643, making the skirt version. I struggled with the zipper instructions. I searched for examples on how to sew a zip as you did and found nothing like the patterns. Thank you for making me realize it was the instructions! Even though you did not like the pattern, the pants are cute on you! Thank you for inspiring all of us to sew and expand our wardrobes from just jeans and a t-shirt.
Hi Diana! I just couldn’t fathom what they were saying. Line up your zip lines and then you have an overlap?! That ain’t possible!! I also made the waistline and waist band bigger by the same amount but the waist band came out too small. There wasn’t much to like about this pattern but I do like the shape of the legs. It definitely isn’t you, it’s the pattern!!
@@vivmomsews4962 The only reason I was able to make it work is that I increase the size at the waist. I agree it was a mess. Too bad I like the look of the pants.
This September fashion show you look really lovely, a very sweet model and your clothes are wonderful on you.
Thank you so very much. You have encouraged meet start sewing again.
Grear to see a Makes Video appear again, thank you so much. Of all the vlogs these are the ones that are so much help to all of us. Seeing the patterns, fabric and the garment on an actual person helps enormously when choosing future fabric and patterns. Thanks again and happy October to you 😊.
Hi Viv, you are one dexterous lady. Thanks for sharing
What a joy to watch you, loved the toppers and the first dress, too!
Thanks for the great show!
Love your makes as usual. The circle dress looks stunning on you. Thanks for the information and the inspiration.
You get. So much done. Great job. Your. Garments look good on you
That first dress is perfect on you! Love that style. The vogue ity turned out really well too. I can't believe how many things you got done! Incredible
I look forward to your fashion videos. Cute patterns and cute model!
Hi Viv,have you had your hair trimmed? I do envy you your hair........ The second dress you modelled is the nicest dress I have seen in a very long time,and you looked awesome in it...gorgeous. I love the skinny jeans too. You have had a very busy September,I’m guessing you have very early mornings and very late nights...could I have just a couple of cups of your energy please?!
Have a lovely week sweet lady xxx
Everything looks fabulous on you. Thank you for sharing!
Great makes Viv!! Especially the skinny pants. They looked great on you. Gonna attempt them happy sewing 🧵
Love love love!!! Those skinny kwick sew pants are fabulous!
Hi Vivmom Just watching you here from UK England. Love your Fab makes and your bubbly personally. You have so much enthusiasm. Love it. Keep on Sewing .
Saw your video for the first time today!! Your are sweet and a very good seamstress. I was called Vivi Lynn growing up. Short for Virginia Lynn. Thank you for sharing your talent!! Love your hair!!! Blessings!
Second dress and stretch pants my fav, thanks for sharing you are amazing
Vogue 9101 is fantastic on you. Lovely fabric
Haha! The vintage pattern is like the muumuu I made in junior high home ec a million years ago but you made it cute and currant. All nice outfits. I have a couple of those patterns so I love seeing them made up. Well done as usual.
Yay! Got to watch your fashion show today! Such cute transition pieces. I love the ITY dress--you can wear that into winter too with tights and a sweater or jacket. Your toppers are very cute. The pull on panits are awesome on you. Such great pieces all of them --so nice to see you in my new videos!!XO
Beautiful makes. I love everything you made. 😀
You choose the nicest fabrics,colors and pattern styles.You also look gorgeous in everything you make.I haven't seen in a long long time, but you're making me want to dust off my 2 machines and try sewing SOMETHING again lol🙂🙂.I love e watching everything you do.
Thank you so much, Ellen. I want to encourage you to dust off those machines if you feel like it. Then again, sit back and rest awhile. Women work hard; only sew if it’s something you’ll find fulfilling and enjoyable!💕
I Have to tell you how much I enjoy your videos. I especially like you Make Videos. When I see how pretty something looks on your and you give the pattern number, I jump on eBay and look it up to buy, or write the number down for future use. Don’t listen to peoples bad opinions, only the good ones. And I like videos longer than 15 minutes and the longer we watch your videos the more income it brings you. Keep sewing and posting!
Thank you so much, Garden Rudiments!😄
Love love LOVE your version of Kwick sew 4159k!!!
Loved the 1st Vogue dress, so cute!! And the baby doll top, and fitted Kwik aew pants!! Everything was nicely made!!!
Wow. I am amazed at how much you accomplish. Beautiful makes! Thank you. Thank you. I’m a little tempted to try the skinny pants - they look so great on you. Love, love the strappy circle skirt blue floral.
Great makes Viv! I love all of them. I’m behind on my videos. Hope to catch up soon. All your makes look gorgeous on you. Your vision from pattern to finished garment is amazing. You sure know how to envision the outcome.
Hope all is going well with the new business. Keeping you in my prayers. I have some life changes going on right now. Prayers welcome. Have a great day Sweetie! 💜🤗💕😘🙏🏻❤️
Viv, I really appreciate you and your videos. I first found you a few months ago and you have gotten me interested in sewing again. Thanks.
I recently came int many yards of vintage woolens, including some Pendleton’s. Yes, I understand when you get intimidated by something because I really am! Love you.
Wow, Sue, Pendleton wools are the gold standard. Sending you many wishes for sewing success. I haven’t done a thing with the one large piece of wool I’ve got - it was supposed to become a winter coat two years ago.😳
I just love watching your videos! So cute.
Hi Vivmom - I was all set to pick a favorite when I saw the second (Vogue) twirly dress, but then the new "favorites" just kept being shown. Obviously I love what you create. Thank you for the inspiration!
Oh my goodness! I just can't get over how talented you are!! All the outfits are fabulous! You look terrific in them. You've really got an eye for matching the fabrics to the right patterns. I walk in a fabric store and I'm just confused. You're so inspirational! Thank you!!
Aww shucks! Thanks for such a sweet and generous comment, rebawass. You’re very kind!💕
That first dress is geometrically perfect! So flattering AND yet comfy🤗
Mrs. ROPER 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Now back to watching you 😄
Just saw your September makes love love love them all and you look great in them I love watching your monthly makes
Vivmom, thank you for a great video...inspiring, as always! Can’t wait to see what you’ve been sewing😍
Beautiful makes as usual Viv. My fav is that Vogue dress. It looks stunning on you. Love the skinny pants with the 2 toned gathered back top. I wish I could so as much. Keep it up 🙏👌🌸🦄🦄😍
Gemma Sremchevich I love those skinny pants too. Ready to make that one.😀
Hi Vivmom, love all the september sewing projects!!! Great video
Love your videos. Bought the “ skinny pants “ pattern today. Look forward to sewing them.
Love seeing all your lovely clothing!
Hi Vivmom! I love the 1960's duster. V9101 worked out good. Cute little knit top worked out nicely. The hacking patterns worked out great. The dusters are nicely matched up to make a complete outfit. I remember those baby doll tops, brought back memories. I love the one seam pants and top. A video about how to insert the square panel would be very interesting to see. It might be a good idea to sew double seam binding on the seams so they don't fray. The crochet trim on the inside neckband worked out nicely on the duster. A tutorial on s8724 would be good to show beginners how to sew fold over binding. The hacking caftan looks comfortable. Did you make that once before? I have finished sewing Harry's shorts, shirts, and pj's for our 4 month trip to Florida. I will now start on my garments unless he wants something else. Any teaching videos and tutorials would really be very helpful to everyone. Keep up the good work and have fun. Anna-Marie
Love the New Look dress design and fabric! Nice Video!🎉
Yes Vivmom, keep sewing!! 🥰🥰🥰 Love your monthly makes😘 they inspire me to choose fabric and patterns too! Hugs and God bless you 🌺🌺
Love the pants outfit with color block top made with animal print fabric. It looks great on you. Your September sews are so nice! Your fabric choices are interesting and work well.
The Butterick dress is very classy and stunning on you. I really liked the hem line. I need to sew again!
I’m trying to love wearing dresses but I have 2 total in my closet. I really like the skinny pants with the tunic top. Enjoyed your show and tell. ❤️
Love the spaghetti strap dress!
I would love seeing a few sew alongs with you. You inspire me. Thank you.
Definitely forthcoming, Debbie! I need to grow out my fingernails so I don’t die of embarrassment when I film sew-along-close-ups. Old, old habits can be beastly to break!! Thanks for your encouragement.😃
Busy busy lady. All lovely as usual x
I haven’t sewed that much this year much less last month. Sew inspired!!!
So happy to see your makes again! Loved the ITY knit dress and top. So cute! Loved the skinny pants too! Happy Sewing 😀 God bless!
Viv your 2nd dress is so flattering on you. The top portion fits you so well. Thank you for your comments about pant patterns. When you are a curvie person like me. pants are already difficult and the fit I think is more noticeable with pants; flies are difficult enough. So thank you for the support. Hopefully the big 4 are listening. Happy October sewing.
Hi Vivmom, love your videos!!! I have been watching for months & you inspired me. I have set up a sewing area in my home & started sewing. I have never made something for me to wear, but that’s the plan. Thank you for sharing your makes. I’ll keep watching.
Once again, your makes were great! Loved the blue Vogue sun dress; it was very flattering. And put large patch pockets on the (prison) shift at the end; they’ll go perfectly with that style. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Loved all your makes, they looked so nice, and what a pick me upper, I needed to watch you today, to get motivated! Thanks Viv! ♥️
You are amazing! Great fashion show.
