    Holy cow, this video wasn't boring, I almost passed out watching it! I was sitting at my sewing machine sewing WITH THE EXACT SAME HEART FABRIC that you have. I bought 7 yards of it, and I am making the Diane Von Furstenberg wrap dress from Vogue Patterns. I'm wearing it to Easter service tomorrow. I thought the hearts would represent my love of Christ. Heck, I'd never wear your dress to the dog park. It's too pretty. Sounds like you've been bitten by dog love. Dogs are proof of God. Unconditional love and they force you play. Lucky you!

    I would call your March Makes practical, not boring! Great clothes for everyday living!
    Happy Easter! May your day be filled with lots of SONshine! Behold HE is risen! 🙏🏻❤️✝️

    Viv, I love your vlogs - whatever you’ve sewn or not! You just brighten my day and make me smile. 😄 You have made some gorgeous clothes with pockets all round. Loved the dog fabric top - great idea. And your heart dress is just awesome. You may have problems with some patterns but you always pull it together and give us honest reviews. Thank you. Anyway, I’m off to the dog park 🍷 🍸 🍻🤣🤣🤣

    I love “not too exciting” clothes. I call this everyday clothes, wear at home clothes, babysitting day clothes. I don’t need a closet full of high fashion.

    @Rileygirl746 8 месяцев назад +6

    I am so excited. I have been watching you since you started on RUclips. I am 80 and have not sewn for decades because I could never fit myself. I am 5 foot six and 155 pounds. When I watch you and realize that you break all the rules about fitting and zippers and fabric, I decided to take the plunge and ordered a whole lot of fabric from fabric mart because you always give such rave reviews. I even got free shipping. Woo hoo. I have decided to begin again as a newbie and make summer tops out of wovens instead of buying the usual Walmart V-neck tees. I have pinned so many variations of the tops that you make, and I am even going to go so far as to do a mock up. I can't tell you how excited I am about this with all the encouragement you always give. Will keep you updated.🎉😊

    Hi Viv, I love your lantern dress and suspect that you see less of the lantern than everyone else. Your Zinnia apron is awesome. You may get some commissions down at the dog park!! But my favourite is that last pair of little trousers. Just gorgeous 😍! Happy Easter and here's to warmer weather inspiration xx

  • @sara2222
    @sara2222 9 месяцев назад +12

    Viv thank you for sharing your beautiful sewing journey. Inspires me to sew every-time I watch you!
    You are such a joyous, warm, welcoming and natural TV personality! Loving your March makes.

  • @latoyamartin1434
    @latoyamartin1434 9 месяцев назад +4

    I liked the makes and didn't think they were boring at all. If anything they seemed to challenge and keep you on your toes. After the crazy directions and not so great fabric let downs you mention, girl you need a vacation just to recuperate!!! Lol. I did love the baby outfits, doggy outfit from apron pattern (genius idea) and the dress- pattern and fabric choice. You did pretty good to me and can't wait to see what you do next as always. Whether you sew one piece or 20, I enjoy them, your skill and your input. One day I hope to get there. Thank you for taking the time.

    @thesewinggemini3372 9 месяцев назад +2

    You have such amazing energy - lots of makes in a short amount of time. All of the pieces looked fantastic, especially loved the heart dress and the green v-neck t-shirt at the end (despite all the Kwik Sew foibles). Have fun at the dog park, lol!

  • @stillstitchin

    @barbarahubsher2727 9 месяцев назад +1

    Loved your video, as alway, but especially like the denim pants you cropped and flared. They are so flattering, and I was wondering if you would do a video on the process. I’m never sure how to get that sweet spot length & width at the bottom, and you nailed it!!!
    Always look forward to your videos😊

    I’ve missed watching you.
    These clothes (neutral and classic) are MY SYYLE.
    This video was right up my alley and I hope you keep sewing this type of clothing.
    You just might make me drag my machine back out.
    Your personality is infectious.
    You are best friend material.
    Happy Easter Viv! 🎉✝️

    You are not boring, Viv. Quite the opposite, in fact. Thank you filming this video because you introduced me to the Simplicity Jiffy apron pattern. I love how you wear it as a top and I think it looks quite nice on you. I would also like to say that wardrobe consultants are advocates for having good basics as the building blocks for highly functioning wardrobes.

    Super outfits as ever, Viv - you must be a real hit at the dog park! Everything looks way better on you than on the pattern envelope, which is why I, for one, always enjoy seeing your makes and choices of fabric. Inspiring! Thank you again and sending kind regards from Penny in Liverpool 🇬🇧😊💕

    @regenia8738 8 месяцев назад +2

    I agree with others; this was NOT boring. In fact, it was totally fun AND educational, not to mention inspiring and uplifting!
    I think you could wear a sack and look phenomenal. The red hearts dress is beautiful on you; it is not for the dig park.

    You always entertain! The lantern leg pants are so cute, I made some a couple years ago and I love them, especially during the summer. Mine are chambray and are a go to for everyday wear. They are really comfortable when traveling long distances in a car! Yours are adorable, and I bet you reach for them often.

  • @pamjay5465
    @pamjay5465 9 месяцев назад +5

    Hi Viv! You crack me up….clothing for going to the dog park! How fun! But I loved all your makes. Everything looks so good on you😊I hope you keep doing your channel because it makes it so helpful to see these patterns made up in real life and modeled on a real live person ( not just a drawing, picture, or on a hanger). And best of all, your assessment of the pattern, instructions, and fabrics you chose are SO helpful. I had to laugh too because I am like you in that I’ll sit for weeks and do no sewing ( or quilting) and just look at my patterns and dream up of what I should make next and then maybe I’ll get one thing made that month 🥺 So much for ALL that sewing I was going to get done when I retired! Been retired 3 years now and not much to show for all my free time. Anyway, thank you so much for pushing on. Happy Easter to you and yours❤️

  • @thomastheman7331
    @thomastheman7331 9 месяцев назад +2

    Love them all. The linen heart dress has a nice subtle balloon silhouette to the skirt which is nice. It’s great. For the olive green tee, could you have just zig zagged 1/4 inch elastic on the center front allowance to create the stirring with less bulk maybe? It looks good though..

It’s been awhile since I have written anything, but I have been in the process of making a ton of needed “home” repairs and “ cleaning out “ my fabric hoard! No way I can focus on anything with my collections of “too many things!!😮 just wondering if you have discovered the”facebook group” selling my sewing supplies???????🌷😮 oh my😵‍💫🙀people sell everything related to sewing!!!! FABRIC AND PATTERNS….Some Vintage!!!!!!😮🥰

The minute I saw that black and white top I fell in love with it and I HAVE that pattern 👏🏼. That will be next on my list 😂 Only you would turn an Apron into the most amazing top and Candice was so sweet to get that fabric for you ❤. Loved everything and Happy Easter to you all xx
