Thank you so much for sharing about the Simplicity pattern 8384 dress facing plackett issue. It is really nice to have someone that shares their experiences with various patterns. You are such a good example for other sewers to gain information from your trials with these wonderful patterns.
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 was a teenager in the 60’s and really love that dress! I love all of them. It’s so nice when you describe the fabric and patterns that you put together!
Oh my gosh! I love all your makes. You are so inspiring. I love your sews, your honesty and your adventures in sewing. I want to sew every time I watch your vids.
Love Love LOVE all the garments you made.You have such a knack for choosing the right fabric for the pattern and everything always looks wonderful on you. Keep those videos coming!
Well thanks a million, billie! How nice to hear this. I’ve had a couple flat liners with fabrics in my past, for sure. I will do my best to keep the videos coming!
Your dresses were wonderful . Just be you and always choose what you like and feel comfortable in . I loved all of them . They looked wonderful on you . And what I love about you is you are a natural in front of the camera .
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.
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.
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!😄
My first time seeing this video. You are an excellent sewist. Every outfit sewn to look perfect and neat. No one would be able to tell they were homemade. Loved every outfit.
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.
That 60s dress! 😍 I don't care who says you need to shorten garments, that dress is perfect! The collar is so pretty! Pockets were a great touch. I'm amazed by how much you accomplished! So many projects that suit you so well! I liked the format of this video too. I may give try ons a shot in my makes video this month 🤔 Great job Viv!
I’m so glad you like the 1968 dress at that length, Rebecca! I love the collar, too. Flattering for the “neck appearance challenged” which I have sadly become. (👎age.) Your compliments are so nice to read, thanks a million!
Hi Vivmom 😍 you totally rocked your August 2018 makes. 12 makes in 12 minutes? You are a legend! Loved the fashion show. You look amazing no matter what you put on and you saved the best til last because I LOVE your sixties original. Thanks for the entertaining video. Happy sewing!
You make it fun & worthwhile, solstitches, thank you!! I’m blushing with all these compliments.😊That 1968 original is a little treasure, I didn’t change anything. Not even the length this time! (They must’ve turned up huge hems back then.)
I want to thank you, thank you, thank you! You have reignited my love for sewing and I just love your spirit! Thank you also for just being yourself. It's so refreshing. God bless.
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.
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.👍
I discovered your channel today ... watched your July and August makes. I thoroughly enjoyed your fashion shows. As a matter of fact, you have inspired me to pull out my old sewing machine. I can't wait to get started! Thanks for the inspiration!
Fabulous news, Janice!👍Thanks for letting me know. I hope you have a ball. I am enjoying the new patterns so much. A lot of them are simple style lines that flatter and go together quickly. Many thanks for being here!💐
I love the white dress, black shirt and pants with the rubbing. It’s so nice to see someone wearing the patters. I need one of those “me” models! Good job!
Hi Sheri, thank you. My aim is to show the patterns made up and worn on a real person, as opposed to the beautiful models. I’m glad you find it helpful, and also glad you’re here!😃
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!
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.💕
Oh my goodness!!! You look so good in all of the outfits!!! You are slimmer than me...as I've aged, I've gained weight and many of my clothes don't look good on me. Thank you for sharing....
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 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.
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.😄🌺
Just came across your channel. OMG can you sew. The outfits you made are SO good. Way more professional than what you see in the stores. Keep sewing. Love your bubbly personality.
Thank you Jean!! Such fabulous compliments! If you could see me right now I have a huge smile on my face!😄 I wanted to start a channel where people could see doable patterns worn on a regular person. Nothing fancy here. But lots of fun. I am so glad you’re here!💕👍
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.
Hey, thanks very much R Vandenburg!😃You’ve crystallized my greatest joy with this little channel - and that is to show the garments made and worn on a regular person. Yay! So glad you enjoyed it.👍 I don’t normally crank out 12 pieces in a month, but it’s good to aim for. Now I need to think about my winter wool coat and I’m really dragging with that. Anyway, welcome!💐
Love video as always 🤗. I definitely agree with your other subscribers. You have a gift for putting the fabric with the right pattern. This is something I have not mastered.
Thank you, Cheryl, what a doll. I do strive to be honest and say if a pattern is bad or has incorrect instructions. Also I vow to show bad garments. I’ve been eating M&M’s like a maniac (stress eating) with this upcoming dental work...not exactly a smart thing to do on many levels. Now I’d better hope I fit into my dressy picks for September. If they’re too tight, I’ll show it. Anyway, I’m so glad you’re here!😄
You are very gifted! Wow! I sew and I'm creative but your ability to choose fabric for your garments is impressive! You're inspiring! Good job. Thank you and keep going! ~ CG
Wow! Just “Wow!” I love the way you shared these ... and I think my favorite may have been that 1968 update. So glad I stumbled onto this presentation. (Yay, pockets!! Yay, long!! Yay, non-clinging! Yay, you sew garments at home!!!!)
Thank you, Janice, I’m smiling from ear to ear. You’re so kind to stop and comment and say all of these wonderful things.🌸 It sounds like we may share some similar tastes. I hope you’ll continue to find ideas. Glad you’re here!😄
These are GREAT! Te white dress looks real iceon. you. Good style. You are a GREAT sewer. i got a new sewi machie2yrs ago.Still. in the box. Lord willing I'm going to start sewing sometime. LOVED LOVED LOVED the 1968 dress. I love the way you can chane patterns up.. I'm glad I watched this.
Thank you, girlygirlwoman, how sweet!💕I’m glad you’re here too, and you’ll get to that sewing machine soon enough. There’s no rush. Life is busy.🌸I love that 1968 dress so much that I want to sew another one. So many projects bouncing around in my brain. I had no idea I was going to fall so in love with sewing again. But here I am!😄
Viv, what a nice surprise... I some how did not see this video when you posted it.. How fun.. I loved your 12 makes.. SO very cute, and they all looked so cute on you.. Happy sewing.
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!!
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!
Thank you so much, Michelle! Very lovely to hear.🌸I have no ponte garments in my wardrobe and I’m wondering why! It feels very soft and warm, perfect for the coming cold weather. (No! Say it ain’t so!😌) Your comment is so nice, thanks again.💕
Love your personality! You remind me of Barbara Eden! I am truly amazed at the older patterns from the 1960's that you used. The finished garments looked soooo good! Guess I am going to have to break out my sewing machine! Thank you ! And love this video!!!!
You really know how to make someone’s day, Jo Marie.💕Thank you so much! I do love 1960’s dress patterns - I’m not even sure how I got stuck there in that decade, lol. After I made the muu muu dresses I kept choosing 60’s, and I love the A line and swing aesthetics, along with the classic sheath. At any rate, I am having fun with the channel and it’s heartwarming to meet wonderful people like you.💐
I love all of your makes! I love the sixties dress on you and the different color looks awesome but my favorite is the sixties dress from the vintage pattern.
You pegged my favorite, too, Sew & Cher! There’s something about that design, I think I would like 10 of them. Thank you for your always-sweet compliments. So nice!
Such cute looks. Great job. I really like your white dress with curved neck. Your Ponte dress looks great on you. Lovely. Lol. You tricked us. My favorite 1968 dress. I love it
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)
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!😄💕
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 🇿🇦
Your user name is great, Blessings & Favours, and so are your comments! Thank you so much. It’s really nice to hear that I might have a cheering effect for some. I guarantee that you cheer me up with lovely comments like this!
How sweet, Lucy, thank you! Made my day!!💐I definitely want to feature a little tour of my sewing space. It sounds slightly presumptuous to call it my “studio,” but that doesn’t stop me!😄
Thank you!!! Love your work and personality 😊 I haven’t even started sewing yet so I’m just dreaming up projects now, but the New Look 6871 colorblock top was the one I was looking at...I put that in the RUclips search button and found you 😊 I’m so excited as it looks SO CUTE and you said it came together very easily 😂 RV living now until the house is built so sewing will wait- teaching myself Knitting for the time being 😂
The colorblocking you’ve done on the 60s dress makes me want tights and boots and crunchy leaves! Gorgeous. It’s all gorgeous but that dress, in those colors, and that fabric- stunning.
Aw, this is so nice Karen, thank you! You’re making me love the idea of Fall. It is a gorgeous season. I complain about having to put on shoes, but boots make it all better.😃
Thank you, venusbell! I’m so glad you like it and don’t think it needs to be shortened.👍It’s a fun dress to wear and I just might make another from the same pattern. I bet I could easily add long sleeves. I’m happy you’re watching and giving me feedback!😄🌸
You’re a dear.💕I’ll tell you, watching the videos back to see how they look is an exercise in CRINGING TO DEATH!!!! Omg. But I want to show the patterns and the only way to do that is to model them. (Seeing them on a dress form isn’t quite the same, ya know?) I do thank you for your encouragement. It means a whole lot!!🎈👍😄
Oh Viv! Love your makes, they are all so cute on you! My favorites are the pink shirt with pockets, the white dress and the gorgeous pointe dress! Love the two color blocking! So Beautiful! Everything was so beautiful.! 😉
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!!!!
I just had to do both, Debbie. I figured that way everyone would be happy, and so would I!😃 Thanks for watching and being enthusiastic. Your support is so uplifting!
Well that’s infuriating. Why doesn’t Simplicity sell in Canada? Sorry to hear that! Thank you for your great compliments, Christine, you give me such a boost.
Wow I really love this channel I love all the garments that you showed and that you share the numbers because there’s some tops I enjoyed seeing and hope to make see you next week! 💕💕

So pleased you showed us the 1960s winner. Beautiful!
I love seeing it go from pattern, to finished. You look great in all the things you make.Thank you for your help.
I so appreciate that you don't have music in the back ground of your videos...I find that ,using distracts a lot. You go girl,
I was a teenager in the 60’s and really love that dress! I love all of them. It’s so nice when you describe the fabric and patterns that you put together!
Oh my gosh! I love all your makes. You are so inspiring. I love your sews, your honesty and your adventures in sewing. I want to sew every time I watch your vids.

Your dresses were wonderful . Just be you and always choose what you like and feel comfortable in . I loved all of them . They looked wonderful on you . And what I love about you is you are a natural in front of the camera .
7536 dress is so pretty and what a great fabric. Thanks for sharing.
I love these videos where you show the finshed product. I love your style.
Thanks so much, Linda! Bless you!😄💕

So glad that ponte is back in style. I have been sewing with it since1967! Easy to sew, drapes beautifully and almost indestructible.
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!😄
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.
My first time seeing this video. You are an excellent sewist. Every outfit sewn to look perfect and neat. No one would be able to tell they were homemade. Loved every outfit.

Well come on in, Sew Much Talent! Nice to have you here. Thanks for your very kind comments.😃
Everything you put on looks fantastic. Just beautiful.😊
Aww thanks!!💕
I adore the last dress! So chic!
Luv every outfit shown but my favorites are the 1960 era patterns. Great job on the fabric types and beautiful fall colors.
I used to see all your vids. Found you again!! Love you shows.
Hi Candis! Good to see you!👋
You brought 1968 back ro life!! Love it
Loved this video and all of your makes! Such beautiful clothing, thank you sharing. Great fashion show 💖
Thank you Anita! You’re a doll. I’ve enjoyed all your recent comments💕
Viv, I don't care how long your videos are. I always hate when they are over.

My favorite was the pink long shirt. It was absolutely beautiful!!!! Thank you for showing your work!!!! A perfect model!!!
I love the dresses and the vintage patterns made beautiful dresses.
Love love love!!!!! The color block is gorgeous!
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.
You are stunning in the winning dress!❤️❤️ 🙏🏾🔥🔥
Thank you, yvetta! Those emojis rock and you made my day.
So glad I found your channel I will look for videos where you help us beginners with laying out the patterns and cutting everything properly.
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.👍
I can watch your videos over and over again. Love them. You make things sew easy.

Love the 1968 leafy print dress! I was 20 in 1968 and a sewist...although back then it was seamstress...and I remember a-line dresses.
I use to love sewing.All my four sisters and my mom sewed. Thank you.
Hi Judy, nice to hear from you.💐I have three sisters! My mom sewed too (but my sisters don’t, although one quilts.)

Aww you’re a doll, Nancy, thanks!!💕
Those dresses were awesome ! I love how excited you get.
That last dress 1968 is my favorite! LOVE IT! Also the turteneck top under that jacket--absolutely gorgeous outfit on you!
You did a great job picking fabric, as usual. I really enjoyed your choice of patterns. You're inspiring many to get back to their sewing machines! 👍❤
I adore that 6871 on you! Have to HAVE it!! Love the fabric choice too!
Wow! Vivmom, what wonderful clothes you made for yourself! All the pieces look great on you....good job!
Thank you, Sue, I sure do appreciate you telling me this!
I love the blue and green and the pants you put with it! Great!
Beautiful work , I love them all .
Gorgeous wardrobe! Thanks 😊
Thank you so much for this video. I can’t wait to watch your other videos. I love your vibe and your style!

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.
Hey, thanks very much R Vandenburg!😃You’ve crystallized my greatest joy with this little channel - and that is to show the garments made and worn on a regular person. Yay! So glad you enjoyed it.👍 I don’t normally crank out 12 pieces in a month, but it’s good to aim for. Now I need to think about my winter wool coat and I’m really dragging with that. Anyway, welcome!💐
Love video as always 🤗. I definitely agree with your other subscribers. You have a gift for putting the fabric with the right pattern. This is something I have not mastered.
Thank you, Elizabeth! That’s so kind.😄💕
First time I've watched you; you are sincere, honest & I bet you make a great friend!!!! I will sub, LOVE your video!
Thank you, Cheryl, what a doll. I do strive to be honest and say if a pattern is bad or has incorrect instructions. Also I vow to show bad garments. I’ve been eating M&M’s like a maniac (stress eating) with this upcoming dental work...not exactly a smart thing to do on many levels. Now I’d better hope I fit into my dressy picks for September. If they’re too tight, I’ll show it. Anyway, I’m so glad you’re here!😄
Love retro 60s both of them..
Absolutely beautiful ❤️ could 😍
You always look perfect in 60s patterns ..they suit you..
You are very gifted! Wow! I sew and I'm creative but your ability to choose fabric for your garments is impressive! You're inspiring! Good job. Thank you and keep going! ~ CG
Omg....my favorite was the last one...!! You look fantastic.
Thank you for sharing
Thank you, Milvia! Are you a baker?😋
thank you I got myself the new look 6871 and just bought the fabric for it so I was so impressed when you are shown the tunic how it looks
You're such an inspiration. I love that Project Runway blouse.
I loved the surprise dress choice at the end of your video…. Such a cute idea!
Wow! Just “Wow!” I love the way you shared these ... and I think my favorite may have been that 1968 update. So glad I stumbled onto this presentation. (Yay, pockets!! Yay, long!! Yay, non-clinging! Yay, you sew garments at home!!!!)
Thank you, Janice, I’m smiling from ear to ear. You’re so kind to stop and comment and say all of these wonderful things.🌸 It sounds like we may share some similar tastes. I hope you’ll continue to find ideas. Glad you’re here!😄
You Rock those looks! That color block number would have blown Capt. Kirk's mind! Thanks for sharing
Omg I almost did a spit take with my lunch time protein shake!😂 Thanks for this great comment, TLEE!
Captain Kirk! That was hilarious!!
Sept 2020 Missing you like I miss Sunshine in the winter!!!!! Will send you a healing TODAY!!! Love Ya 😃
These are GREAT! Te white dress looks real iceon. you. Good style. You are a GREAT sewer. i got a new sewi machie2yrs ago.Still. in the box. Lord willing I'm going to start sewing sometime. LOVED LOVED LOVED the 1968 dress.
I love the way you can chane patterns up.. I'm glad I watched this.
Thank you, girlygirlwoman, how sweet!💕I’m glad you’re here too, and you’ll get to that sewing machine soon enough. There’s no rush. Life is busy.🌸I love that 1968 dress so much that I want to sew another one. So many projects bouncing around in my brain. I had no idea I was going to fall so in love with sewing again. But here I am!😄
Viv, what a nice surprise... I some how did not see this video when you posted it.. How fun..
I loved your 12 makes.. SO very cute, and they all looked so cute on you.. Happy sewing.
Bless you, judy, thanks!😃
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!!
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!
I loved the color blocked 1960s dress! Beautiful style, it's timeless and suits you.
Thank you so much, Michelle! Very lovely to hear.🌸I have no ponte garments in my wardrobe and I’m wondering why! It feels very soft and warm, perfect for the coming cold weather. (No! Say it ain’t so!😌) Your comment is so nice, thanks again.💕
Love your personality! You remind me of Barbara Eden! I am truly amazed at the older patterns from the 1960's that you used. The finished garments looked soooo good! Guess I am going to have to break out my sewing machine! Thank you ! And love this video!!!!
You really know how to make someone’s day, Jo Marie.💕Thank you so much! I do love 1960’s dress patterns - I’m not even sure how I got stuck there in that decade, lol. After I made the muu muu dresses I kept choosing 60’s, and I love the A line and swing aesthetics, along with the classic sheath. At any rate, I am having fun with the channel and it’s heartwarming to meet wonderful people like you.💐
You lovable, not boring to watch & all those outfits are great I love the fit & fabric choices. Great job
I love all of your makes! I love the sixties dress on you and the different color looks awesome but my favorite is the sixties dress from the vintage pattern.
You pegged my favorite, too, Sew & Cher! There’s something about that design, I think I would like 10 of them. Thank you for your always-sweet compliments. So nice!
BEAUTIFUL 💎👗👒👠😎
Such cute looks. Great job. I really like your white dress with curved neck. Your Ponte dress looks great on you. Lovely. Lol. You tricked us. My favorite 1968 dress. I love it
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)
Geez you are awesome! You must sew all the time!! Beautiful outfits!!
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!😄💕
It's so much FUN watching your channel and I learn a LOT, too!!! 😊✨✨✨✨
You’re a doll, Miriam. I’m so happy you’re here. The more the merrier, especially with someone as sweet as you!😃💕
@@vivmomsews4962 😊
Fabulous! Your fabric choices are spot on! Very inspiring. Thank you. Will tune in again!
Bless you, Merri, and thanks! How nice of you to send me this message.😄💕
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous, definitely the winner !!
Aww, thank you Susan!😄💕
Hello! I truly enjoyed watching your video. You are very inspiring!
Thanks Carson! I appreciate it.😃
They are all awesome. I love the 60's dress the best. Thanks for sharing!
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 🇿🇦
You are so delightful. I really enjoyed your channel.
What a sweetheart, thanks maeola! I’m happy you’re here.
You are very very talented.All the garments were beautiful.
Oh, thanks so much for these compliments, betty boo.💕How kind!💐
You are a fabulous seamstress, enjoyed seeing all your designs
Thank you, Tonya, this is so sweet. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I have a lot of fun making them - lots of “costume changes!”😄
Every time you post a makes video I think "this is my favorite video" You rock!
This is so sweet, Charlene, thank you!!
I love all of the sewing you made!!!
You have such energy that cheers people up. I can't wait to see see the auctions you won!!!
Your user name is great, Blessings & Favours, and so are your comments! Thank you so much. It’s really nice to hear that I might have a cheering effect for some. I guarantee that you cheer me up with lovely comments like this!
You are too gorgeous with your outfits
So helpful.
Love to see your sewing room🤗
How sweet, Lucy, thank you! Made my day!!💐I definitely want to feature a little tour of my sewing space. It sounds slightly presumptuous to call it my “studio,” but that doesn’t stop me!😄
❤ love all outfits.
You're so skilled! especially using different types of fabrics...impressive and inspirational to watch. London
Thank you, Jill! So nice!💕
Thank you!!! Love your work and personality 😊 I haven’t even started sewing yet so I’m just dreaming up projects now, but the New Look 6871 colorblock top was the one I was looking at...I put that in the RUclips search button and found you 😊 I’m so excited as it looks SO CUTE and you said it came together very easily 😂 RV living now until the house is built so sewing will wait- teaching myself
Knitting for the time being 😂
Love your channel. Your choices are gorgeous and your sense of humour is contagious.
Well this makes my day, Kerry. Thank you! It’s so nice to hear that my choices worked. And I’m all about laughing...the more, the better!
The colorblocking you’ve done on the 60s dress makes me want tights and boots and crunchy leaves! Gorgeous.
It’s all gorgeous but that dress, in those colors, and that fabric- stunning.
Aw, this is so nice Karen, thank you! You’re making me love the idea of Fall. It is a gorgeous season. I complain about having to put on shoes, but boots make it all better.😃
They were all great. Love the winning dress it was perfect the way you updated it.
Thank you, venusbell! I’m so glad you like it and don’t think it needs to be shortened.👍It’s a fun dress to wear and I just might make another from the same pattern. I bet I could easily add long sleeves. I’m happy you’re watching and giving me feedback!😄🌸
@@vivmomsews4962 Oh absolutely, they all came out wonderfully. You have inspired me to get sewing again. Oh and you rocked every outfit like a boss.
You’re a dear.💕I’ll tell you, watching the videos back to see how they look is an exercise in CRINGING TO DEATH!!!! Omg. But I want to show the patterns and the only way to do that is to model them. (Seeing them on a dress form isn’t quite the same, ya know?) I do thank you for your encouragement. It means a whole lot!!🎈👍😄
Oh Viv! Love your makes, they are all so cute on you! My favorites are the pink shirt with pockets, the white dress and the gorgeous pointe dress! Love the two color blocking! So Beautiful! Everything was so beautiful.! 😉
Hello Dotty and thank you for such a sweet comment, bursting with generous compliments. I am so appreciative!!
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!!!!
Oh you tricked me!!! U did both!!!! They are both beautiful!!!
I just had to do both, Debbie. I figured that way everyone would be happy, and so would I!😃 Thanks for watching and being enthusiastic. Your support is so uplifting!
I love the 1960s dress. I actually had one in the 1960s!
Wooow what a nice fashion show! I love Simplicity but in Canada we have no more..... love love all your makes! TFS. Christine
Well that’s infuriating. Why doesn’t Simplicity sell in Canada? Sorry to hear that! Thank you for your great compliments, Christine, you give me such a boost.
New Look was so adorable pink and blue top.... They all look good
Thank you, Leah! I love that top and wear it lots.😃
Wow I really love this channel I love all the garments that you showed and that you share the numbers because there’s some tops I enjoyed seeing and hope to make see you next week! 💕💕
I hope you make them, too, SuperBetty Boop! Thank you for these nice compliments. I’m glad you found me!😃
