Hi Vivmom! I am so glad to see you back. I love your corduroy dress. Brad's jacket is so nice too! It cracked me up when he had on five layers. Great job on all your makes. Can't wait to see what you make from the two new fabrics.
I'm a geopolitical junkie. Vivmom is the only non-political show I've been subscribing. I watched the newest Make just now, then I realized I had missed this January episode (because I don't come to TH-cam as much as I used to.) I've watched it too and enjoyed very much. Thanks!
Viv, the corduroy dress fits you so well, it's just beautiful! But the paisley set is stunning, modest but surprisingly sexy. Love them both with the tall boots....good job!!
Hi Viv! Nice to see you again! I found your channel a while ago and I have no idea what happened, but I didn't see any videos from you, but I see you now.😅😅😅 I'm taking the time to organize what I have in my sewing room. It is a little overstoft and there are things there I completely forgot about, so I am getting organized for the month of January.❤
Last summer-when I found your videos I hadn’t sewn for quite a few years. At the time, I was sitting with my wonderful 40 year son who was battling cancer. Blake was aware of my former love of sewing, had experienced wearing my sewing projects as a little boy. I told him that when we got him well I was going to begin sewing again because of the inspiration I was getting from you and a couple of other ladies I’d found on TH-cam. He thought that was great! God called him home on August 22. I know he’s well now-but I haven’t been able to get my brain together to begin sewing yet. So as I deal with the grief I’ll keep watching and I know one day my broken heart will heal enough to do the thing I used to love-and I’ll know our dear boy will be smiling down on my refound joy. So thanks for coming back-loved your makes and enthusiasm. 😊🌹
Carolyn, I am so sorry to read of your loss. How devastating to lose a son. My heart hurts for you😓. Sewing will wait. It is that old friend who will welcome you back with open arms. In the meantime, I pray for gentle peace as you wander through grief.❤️
So glad you’re back. Love all the makes but what I love most is how you can make something, hate it, hate making it and yet it looks FABULOUS. I love the cotton fabric at the end. I’m a quilter and those two pieces in a quilt would be amazing. Can’t wait to see what garment you make. So tell the family they are mistaken. They do go together.❤❤
Love the corduroy and the last one, super!! Doggo so sweet. Brad is a champ. You still look slim so you haven't slipped too far lol. Sorry can't see how they will go together but, you do you girl.
Oh, I'm so glad you are back. I love your honest reviews and seeing your makes. Fabrics are very expensive, so it's always great when one can purchase them cheaper in a sale. 🇬🇧 ❤
Yay!!! I was sooo happy when I saw your new post this morning! You have no idea how much we all missed you! I love the corduroy dress and the 2 piece midi skirt set. I don’t have boots but I see a pair in my future because it looks so good with the outfits you modeled. Can’t wait for your next post!
I just love you. 😂 You are such a genuine spirit Viv. Don’t change. I always love your retro basics in neutrals (that’s *my* thing) but that paisley on *you* …just made my eyes happy! Great job as usual!
I think you look fantastic so don't beat yourself up about things. I really enjoy watching your reviews. and having only discovered them recently, am making my way through them all on youtube. My list of patterns which I can't find anywhere is growing dramatically.🤣 Brad, is extra funny and your dog is adorable. Being in Australia, I can only sympathise about the cold in Virginia but where I live in winter we do get down to around minus 7 celsius occasionally which is about 19 fahrenheit I think. Your husky would love the snow. I met some people while I was out walking my dog recently (she's a miniature Aussiedoodle which is an Australian Shepherd crossed with a miniature poodle) and we were talking about your dog and they were commenting on the huskies in the area here whose owners have a sled track for them (the sleds are on wheels since we don't get snow here) so the dogs can get lots of exercise. Apparently they just love it. I've just recently started sewing again after a break of about 5 years. I always had the same problems about instructions on some of the big 5 patterns companies but I have discovered Pattern Emporium pdf patterns and I'm a bit hooked. The instructions on these patterns togehter with the online tutorials are mind blowing and the patterns so precise. And no, I don't have any involvement with the two young women who design and market them. Just impressed with their ingenuity. I'm off to look at some of your other videos. I hope not to run out soon as I will need to start all over.😍
Haaaaa! I do super LOVE you!!!! You always make me laugh and feel the REAL deal of life. I love your genuineness, I love your you. If you get that. 😉 ❤
Your new makes ALL look great! Can't wait to see what you make out of the two cottons. My oppositional button would have been pushed on that one, too 😂!
This video was so much fun to watch and so funny! It was the perfect end to my day. Thank you! I love that striped sweater you made. It fits you so perfectly, and that fabric and those colors are lovely.
So great to see you back! You pick the nicest colors and fabrics! You look so nice in all your makes! Thank you for making them...even the ones you did not like looked so grand! So nice of your hubby showing his new clothes off. 😊 I have the turtle neck top pattern and I've made it too and I think it's the greatest ever!
ahhh! Vivian!! so glad to see you again! I love your commentary, you're witty without trying to be witty! You make me laugh and bring me such joy! Thank you for you ❤
Viv You don't know how much I've missed you! Love when things go right, but it helps us all to hear when there are pattern or fabric that are "duds" Welcome Back!!😊
Great idea putting the ruffle on the hem of the top! I love that corduroy dress, styled perfectly with the boots! Despite what you say, that dress does really look good on you. Oh my that ‘set’ is fabulous! Nice to see you back.
from the mrs: Corduroy dress a real winner! ITY dress is a real bummer, would remake into a nice skirt. Also the paisley outfit knocks it out of the park! Really fab!! So chic!
Missed you! So glad to see you back! The corduroy dress is stunning on you! I love the silhouette, the fabric choice, the perfect buttons, and…the way you styled it with boots! Running a super-close second is the last dress you showed us. It’s gorgeous and you wear it so well! Just beautiful! Everything you make is so creatively executed, even the dress with the inset - the way you cut the fabric to take such beautiful advantage of the pattern of the fabric - I’m always impressed. I can’t wait to see what you do with those two new fabrics!
I totally love your makes today they were awesome and I think your husband is so cute when he comes out to model the garments that you make him. Keep up the awesome job and I love your dog he’s beautiful❣️🧵🪡✂️💓💖❤️💗
Enjoy watching you so much. I love your reviews on each pattern and that you model each project…and so does your husband! PS Your dog is so beautiful. Looking forward to February’s review
I love your videos! You did a great job with the ruffle, love the corduroy dress.and that paisley 2 piece outfit. I really appreciate your critique of the patterns. Thank you Viv!!!
So good to see you Viv! I was just watching Joy and was wondering about you, then this video popped up! I LOVE the corduroy dress, (love vintage) the style, the color, the fit and the buttons-fabulous! I also love the paisley set. Paisley always speaks to me and the colors of this fabric are so rich and gorgeous! Viv, you should be the model on the patterns! You look great! Love both with the boots. As far as getting fat-really? I ate an entire pint of ice cream as I watched your's and Joy's videos!! All good, I'm not sewing any pants! Thanks for the fashion show, as always. Looking forward to a year of them!
I loved all your makes! You almost give me the courage to try making pants! Who am I kidding? I want to make myself some garments but haven't taken the plunge. I'm so adrsid they won't fit. It's so easy to make children's garments- heirloom , smocked, etc. Maybe if I jeep watching you, I will make something for me!? Good to see you again. It was my first time meeting Brad. You are an adorable couple.😊
Oh Viv! How I've missed you! Hang in there! I too am having a tough January. I lost 2 dear friends and have a 3rd loved one fighting cancer. So I need you tone there! Love you're makes, comments and you😍
You are so talented! Love the corduroy dress! But all looked good. Love the fabric you showed at the end! Happy to see Zinnia. And Brad, what a good sport.
I love seeing you with your dog. I can remember a vlog you did a few years ago and you and Brad were out hiking and you mentioned how scared you were of dogs. So lovely to see how different it is now.
Always love your makes and vlogs! That corduroy dress is beautiful, and your styling is perfect! Such a variety of makes, shows your skills. Really impressive, Viv! Just love your monthly vlogs!
The fabric, on the dress that u hated to make, is beautiful. Everything looks good on you. P.S. if u think it's cold where u live, try, -30. I'm in a suburb of Chicago. Thx u for showing all your Jan makes. I like all of them.
And she's back!! ❤ 👏🏼. Normal service is resumed and you didn't disappoint! I loved so many things even if you didn't! The Cord dress and the set at the end ⭐️. Now I know you don't favour that blue dress but that fabric is just stunning on you, glad you will wear it anyway 💙. That Kwik Sew jumper, I widen it too as WAY too skin tight for me 😂. You put those fabrics together lady!! 💕💜 Thanks so much as always for the great reviews and fashion show xx
I am soooo glad to see you back...I look forward to your videos every month. You have inspired me to get back into garment sewing after 15+ years of doing other crafts, and I am enjoying the process and the outcomes!
Hi Vivmom! I am so glad to see you back. I love your corduroy dress. Brad's jacket is so nice too! It cracked me up when he had on five layers. Great job on all your makes. Can't wait to see what you make from the two new fabrics.

Love seeing you again and all of your projects turned out great! Zinnia is a strikingly beautiful dog!
I love your videos! Great makes…I love the corduroy dress, it reminds me of a favorite dress I had in the late 80’s. It looks great on you!!
I'm a geopolitical junkie. Vivmom is the only non-political show I've been subscribing. I watched the newest Make just now, then I realized I had missed this January episode (because I don't come to TH-cam as much as I used to.) I've watched it too and enjoyed very much. Thanks!

Viv, the corduroy dress fits you so well, it's just beautiful! But the paisley set is stunning, modest but surprisingly sexy. Love them both with the tall boots....good job!!
agree. couldn't believe how sophiscated and sexy the paisley set was. They were all beautiful.

I have an entire attic filled with fabric🤣 a happy wife is a happy life
Love the wrap top and trews very elegant ❤
The stretch corduroy is a great fabric. Nice sew yup, the dress does not flatter you. You always make so many fun things. Thanks
So glad you’re back. Love all the makes but what I love most is how you can make something, hate it, hate making it and yet it looks FABULOUS. I love the cotton fabric at the end.

New look 660 dress in corduroy is lovely!! New look 6670 is classic. Vintage classic.
My snow-filled day just got so much better! A new video from Vivmom. Ahhh, happiness.
I think you look fantastic so don't beat yourself up about things. I really enjoy watching your reviews. and having only discovered them recently, am making my way through them all on youtube. My list of patterns which I can't find anywhere is growing dramatically.🤣

I loved all your clothes . even the long dress was really beautiful. I love those baggy ones as I'm in the tropics & its so hot . I miss the cold
The blue floral dress you hate so much, looks beautiful. It suits you and looks gorgeous on you. The colour is very suitable for you.
Brad is hilarious. He really makes your show. Love your makes.!!!

That pattern reminds me of something from Three's Company that Mrs Roper used to wear
Haha it occurred to me that I think Suzanne Summers wore a dress like your Corduroy one on threes company.
The last outfit is beautiful on you. 🤗💐
