    Vivmom, dont stop being yourself. Listening and watching your videos is like sitting and chatting with a sewing buddy. You have given me the the nerve to start sewing again and that is changing my days to ones I so look forward to. I havent sewn anything that looks all that good but I know to keep sewing and my makes will eventually get better.You are so inspiring to me and many others. Thanks so much.

    You did good, and you didn't talk too much for me. As a matter of fact, I backed the video up a couple times to write down pattern information. Sewing and crafting is the love of my life. I wouldn't trade it for the world. You're an excellent seamstress, you speak well, you're well versed on your craft. When you're good, there will always be Haters out there to burst your bubble. Keep doing what you do.

      Blessings on you, Margaret. I love that our sewing community is still pretty wholesome in this day & age, and I want to keep it that way. There’s just no place for tearing each other down (though it happens, and I’ve been on the receiving end) when what we do is an expression of ourselves and just a small part of the population sews. I just love meeting all the wonderful people I’ve met, like you, who appreciate this magnificent craft and want to be part of the encouraging and uplifting! Sorry if I’m rambling. Thanks for writing.

  • @Rileygirl746
    @Rileygirl746 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    What a relief to know how you choose a pattern size. I am 80 and so sick and tired of trying and failing at the full bus adjustment. Therefore, I have not shown for myself in years and have been watching you for several years and I am just now deciding to sew again for myself. I loved how you said you would just move onto the next pattern and that would be more suitable. I would just struggle and struggle. As my grandmother used to say "old too soon and smart too late". Now I am just going to move along to a suitable pattern.😂

    • @vivmomsews4962
      @vivmomsews4962  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Thanks Rileygirl! My feeling with patterns is sort of like the old literary line (or maybe it’s from a movie) “There’s a million stories in the naked city.” I feel like there are at least a million patterns out there, and if one isn’t going to fit around my bust - I’m out. The most I’ll do is cut a little extra under the arm seam and then back in again before the waist. A poor man’s FBA, but it works. I admire people who devote a lot of time and effort to full bust adjustments, but I’ll never be one. I know my limits and I’m far too impatient, lol. All the best as you return to sewing! My advice (unasked for): don’t put pressure on yourself. Choose forgiving styles, like an easy pullover caftan you can slip into for the evening. Use fabric you adore. Wear the heck out of it. To me, that’s satisfying sewing!😄

      Oh, thanks so much Sarah! I understand all about leaving sewing, as I did it myself. For years! Then in late 2016 I sewed a Vogue dress. I was irritated that the instructions were wrong and the lining ended up wrong side out. Sure it was only on the inside of the dress, but still! From then on, I sewed a bit more and then a bit more and then wham! I was into it, loving it, learning a bunch of new tricks and fit techniques and here I am. I’m not looking back! Welcome back to sewing, it’s greeting you with open arms!💕

    So glad to hear you talk about finding the right size. I use the finished garment measurement as well for both length and width, because I already know what looks best. I tried to watch a video on full-bust adjustment, but it was too complicated. It's much easier to just use a pattern that fits rather than to try to adjust a pattern to fit. Saves a lot of time and frustration in the long run.

    Love your pattern choices, I have made some, especially loved the 6677, it turned out great, I added the ruffle and get lots of compliments. Your comments about the facial expressions totally cracked me up, I do exactly that. Glad you can tough up your skin and keep making videos, love ya girl! You are an inspiration to keep me sewing, and...... buying patterns!🤪🙄😍👍

    Hi Viv! You just answered my pattern sizing question that I asked you on one of your earlier videos. Thanks for that. Ignore the video length police!! Your videos are packed with information and tips without them feeling “too long”. Love you Viv 🤗🇨🇦❤️

    Yay! Another awesome video! Please don't time restrict your videos! I used to love just sitting for a half hour or so watching your videos! I'm always bummed when one of your video ends. But, do what makes YOU happy! Short or long, I'm going to watch and enjoy every minute of it!
    I'm really glad to hear that you're getting your sewing mojo back!
    I'm also very happy that Fabric Mart kept the fabric draped on the stool pictures! I can't even count how many times I decided against buying a fabric because it was more sheer than the other pics showed. And, I've bought a couple because I thought they'd look great with a layer under it--like a cami.
    Have an amazing weekend Viv!

    I think the New Look 6619 is screaming for the barcode fabric! I love your videos. I prefer the longer ones because I enjoy them so much, you are very entertaining. And you look fabulous but I know how you feel, I am the same way. Clamp behind the neck, drawstring by the ears. I wish skin stayed as youthful as we think we are! Keep on talking and sewing all you want!

    People who don't like how you do your videos don't have to watch... and alternatively, while they seem to feel entitled to voice their opinions, you don't have to pay them any mind.

    I really like your pattern choices. I had to LOL, I have so many patterns I go in my closet, take them out and drool every once in a while. Most of them are from the 80's and 90's and are the wrong size now!!
    PLEASE stop listening to other people. Any one who doesn't have time for more than 15 minutes to listen to a video is trying to multi-task with too many things. People don't know how to slow down and enjoy life.

    Don’t worry at all about the time of your vlogs. You are always a pleasure to watch and for me, they end too soon.
    I must say though, off topic but thought it a thousand times,, you so remind me of the actress, Angie Dickinson. Obviously when she was younger. I’m sure you’ve had this said many times, but I think it every time I watch you.
    Oh,, and you don’t talk too much. What a stupid comment to make! Xxx

    Alright Missy, you've got 10k subs and over 200 comments just on this vlog. That's a sign of someone doing the right thing. Bonus points because it's about what you love and more bonus points because you inspire our sewing mojo. I enjoy spending time with you. I learn a lot, I have at least a grin for each vlog I see and I'm in inspired. The time flies by with you. Oddly enough, if I didn't get anything out of viewing your videos then I'd have to do the grown up thing and not subscribe and go to the channels who do 5 min vlogs. Yes they are out there but they aren't you! (Hmm getting a bit frustrated with comments demanding this or that, can you tell? Thought not. 😁 )
    Spotlight had a pattern sale a few weeks ago. Two for $12! I was late to the 'party' so my choices were limited to going through the drawers for sizes I wanted. Pity I don't need dress up costumes, lots of those! Perhaps I could go as a bolt of fabric should the need arise. (Guess what I have a few metres of? Yup fabric. Great guess)
    So chin up, shoulders back, keep on smiling fabulously and do what you love. You've taught us that!
    💛🌺🌷😁🇦🇺

    I bought that tan twill too, I am planning to make some sort of jacket (depending on how it washes up). It looks like it would make a nice transitional jacket lined with flannel for spring/fall. I work with kids so it needs to be sturdy. Hopefully it is suitable for that purpose. I also bought enough to make some slacks ( 8 yrds...enough for slacks for me, a pair for my son and a lone tree jacket). I almost grabbed that spoon knit.... so much fun! Reminds me of the saying “born with a silver spoon in your mouth”...

    I FINISHED A DRESS TODAY! It's only been laying there for a week, cut out and ready to sew. I didn't want to do interfacing, since it's a sleeveless, v neck cotton. So I was at a standstill. Know what I did to the neck and arms? I cover stitched it! Serged the sides and DONE! Thanks for continuing to inspire me Viv. You should try the Sweet Tee pattern from patterns for Pirates. Fits so nice, and such an easy sew.
