    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!!!!

    So glad that ponte is back in style. I have been sewing with it since1967! Easy to sew, drapes beautifully and almost indestructible.

    • @vivmomsews4962
      @vivmomsews4962  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      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!😄

    • @karenschafer2827
      @karenschafer2827 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.

    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.

    • @vivmomsews4962
      @vivmomsews4962  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.😄🌺

    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 🇿🇦

    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.”

      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 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!!

      @vivmomsews4962  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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!

      @shericreates 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      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!

    • @vivmomsews4962
      @vivmomsews4962  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.💕

    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.

    I'm a grandma who's 5'1" weighs around 135 trying to loose ten lbs and loves comfortable stylish clothes! If I bend over to attend to a grandchild I don't want my backside hanging out!.lol. Your dresses are so beautiful! I live in sunny California where dresses are practical. My one daughter used to live in the Phoenix area of AZ so dresses was also very practical there. We used to live in Oregon so now she's moved up by cousins and a grandma in Salem! So ill have to adjust my wardrobe slightly for my visits there. But I'm sticking I think to summers so not too much.

      Hi M! It’s funny, I saw 135 lbs and thought how much I’d love to weigh that!😄Thank you so much for writing and for your compliments. I am all about practicality - I mean, who doesn’t love a dressy dress, but where do we wear them these days? Heck, I wore a stretch satin dress yesterday (I’m on Instagram under vivmomsews if you’re interested, I’m taking part in “Me Made May” and post every day) because I do want some of my dressier things to get a little exposure. Sadly, they’ve been shut in the closet for too long. So happy you’re near(er) to your grandchildren!😃

    The last dress was my favorite and loved the pockets, then the maroon shirt! Loved them all except the white dress, not a fan of that one...love how you mention which fabrics you used for each.

      Hee hee, you’re onto me. Thanks for these lovely compliments Barbara! That white dress is actually a super pale seafoam green. How I wish I had contrasted with some of the shiny side. Maybe order more fabric and try again? NO! No no no no no! (lol)

    Lovely pink shirt...good job! Cute color block in pink and blue. The white one with red buttons can go anywhere. Didn't care for the wide pant with buttons...looks too big and heavy, plus you have great legs for any regular pant. Liked the somewhat slouchy look of the top of the rusty orange , it almost looked like a shrug...last dress so nice and comfortable yet classy. thanks

      @vivmomsews4962  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.👍

    • @vivmomsews4962
      @vivmomsews4962  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.

      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.

      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!😄💕

    Hi Viv, I’m a new subby. For many reasons I want to start sewing again. lo an behold you show up on my screen?...🙀 It’s nice that you exhibit many different patterns/styles/fabrics in one video. Giving tips on how you adapt most. Back in the day when I did most of my stitching was because I didn’t have the funds to buy. I would buy one or two patterns and once I had them customized to fit my frame, I then would make it my own. I would make things very matchy, such as a hat and coat for church. For me it was therapy. I can see by your smile and manner that you find joy in what your doing. Keep up the good work. I’ll be here watching. PAM

    • @vivmomsews4962
      @vivmomsews4962  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Pam, pleasure to hear from you.😄 It sounds like you’re a very skilled seamstress and could pick it up again in a heartbeat. You might really love the new patterns, so many are easy-to-wear style lines and quick to make (or, fairly quick.) And fabric choices online are astounding...dangerous! I do feel wistful for the old days of a local fabric store on the corner. But I have made the leap to online buying and it’s not difficult, just key to read descriptions carefully. Well! I am certainly happy you’re here!🌸Welcome! 🌸Thank you for writing. I hope you continue to enjoy these goofy little videos.
