Viv, let me tell you about my sewing adventure today.... I woke up at 7:00am, took a show and started sewing only taking a break long enough to eat breakfast. I was able to make 6 pair of PJ bottoms for my 5 year old grandson; he asked me to make him 6 pairs and that what my little sugar puddin was going to get!!!! I was a little wounded during my adventure today, pricked one of my fingers twice with straight pins, tripped over a dining room chair where I where I had my sewing machine set up and bruised my knee, sliced my knuckle with my nippers and sewed through a fingertip. All in all it was a good day in the neighborhood. Thank you Lord for bandaids. 🤕🤕🤕
Judy Chapman 🤣but hey it’s for that sugar puddin🎯
LOL
Vivian! I absolutely love the designer dress and jacket for you to make for your mother of the bride or one of the other dresses. Its elegant, beautiful, a shining star in the firmament. Every daughter would be so happy for to look lovely like this on her wedding do. These garments truly embrace your class / sophistication, femininity and elegance. Happiness too!
Love seeing all these 60's pattern and remind me of Mad Men. I loved that show.
Love when you tell us "to hold on a min ". It's just like we are there with you . That's your unique touch .
Thanks Leta! I’ve been enjoying your comments.😄👍
I am 72 I have been sewing for years. But have stop making close as my kids are grown. You have got me thinking of sewing again . I have cut a pattern out for my great granddaughter. How fun thank you
You have made me excited about garment sewing again! I sewed a lot as a young girl for myself and then when I had a family I sewed for my kids. When I gained a lot of weight, nothing fit so I picked up quilting. Now after watching several videos of yours, I have bought some patterns and and fabric and watching fit to stitch I am bravely sewing garments again! Thank you ever so much!
Why I love, love, love Vivmom videos!!!: She is no nonsense and gets right to the point, sticks to the subject of sewing, has many patterns and fabric to show and comes back with many makes, she is beautiful, wonderful personality, fabulous sense of humor and is so much fun to watch! Brad is a lot of fun to watch, too!!! He is tall, dark and handsome! He is a very good sport, willing to model, wonderful sense of humor and has the cutest personality! Thank you so much to both of you for being so entertaining and making these videos!!! Love you both so much!
So well said Sheila!🤗🤗🤗
I agree!
Yesss!! ^
Sheila!!! You’re a darling!! Thank you for this wonderful, generous comment.😄💕
💕❤️💕
I think you have such a talent putting fabric with a pattern!
Hi Viv from across the pond. your videos are fab and it's lovely to see someone else with such a sewing addiction. Please don't stop - you keep me going xx
I can assure you, judith, I show no signs of stopping. Yippee!! Thanks!😄💕
Love your passion for fabric, patterns and sewing. It may be an illness we all share but isnt it fabulous?!! I like how excited you get when you find fabric at bargain prices. I do, too!
Am like a little kid at bed time or at the pool, 5 more minutes 5 more minutes.
🤣🤣 it's a legit knit! I love it! Also, going out to dinner with your husband in his swashbuckler shirt and your son in his surf meets the turf shorts would be a great picture . You have the best family ever!!
I love Kwik sew too.
your hair looks really good today... you look great in solids and close fitting fabrics. your very inspiring!
I have S8874 in my wishlist also! It has all that I love: gored skirt, waist seam, rounded square neckline, and sleeve ties. Perfect for those bright prints that I can't seem to resist. I always apply the philosophy of busy fabric= basic pattern, plain fabric= seamed pattern!!!
Thank you for validating us sewers! You inspire me.
It's so southing to me to watch you. You make me want to sew more. I'm the world's queen of procrastination and I hate it but can't seem to change. 😖
I buy lots of fabric and patterns too. It makes me happy especially when I create garments made my way. 💖💝
Yes! We get to choose all aspects of a garment and there’s such sweet freedom in that! Thanks Dora.😄💕
Hi Viv , don’t worry about replies, no one expects them, we just love sharing your enthusiasm for sewing, and you inspire me to crack on, in another video you asked what we sew with, I have a 1980 Elna SU pure engineering, it’s loved and looked after, and I’m going to carry on sewing on it, kind regards Jane xx
I could watch you all day. I love watching. You keep me energized 😁
Let’s face it, anyone who sews has some sort of an addiction to all things sewing😉😉!!! Viv, I love your no-nonsense approach to your videos and I love the fact that we are all alike in our love for fabric and patterns💜💜!! Shhh....we won’t say a word about all that extra fabric in a particular color 😉!
Hi from the Midwest, can’t wait for Simplicity Pattern sale at JoAnns next week. I hate cutting out pattern pieces. So I started cutting pattern pieces when I purchase them. I use a Rotary cutter and cut all pieces on the largest size on the patterns. Then on the pattern package I write Cut Out Done. Saves me time when I want to make something. Love watching you. You make me smile.
Butterick 3494 would make a great nighty set as well.
Every time you show these patterns I think of that time as when people cared about getting ready for the day EVERYDAY. I'm a 1952 baby so late late 60's represented my high school years and we prepared what we would wear the night before along with big brush rollers which you learned to sleep with. Enjoy watching your Vivmom Sews.
Hi V! It’s a bygone era, isn’t it? Times were SO different. Men wore hats, and removed them indoors. Women looked put together and wore gloves! The no-pants thing was pretty ridiculous for women, of course that changed. And some of the strict social mores really had to change. But we’ve lost something in the transition. When you see people grocery shopping in their pajamas, you know we’ve REALLY lost something. I just love the 60’s styles. They seem to be almost universally flattering - A Lines, shifts, column dresses, even the caftans had panache. Well, thanks for writing. And those curlers!! How did you sleep?? Wow!!😄🌸
Hi from England. I couldn't agree more with you about being amongst the sewing community even if it is on You Tube. i spend most of my evenings watching videos, I am retired so I can sew during the day and watch at night. You can still buy fabric and patterns in the evening!!!!! Thanks for doing these videos.
Hi Christine! Congratulations on your retirement, what a milestone. Isn’t it fabulous to have time to devote to sewing? I’m in that boat for now while my husband’s parents are still healthy and my children are older. I know things can always change, so I’m savoring it. I’ve had a couple rough sews though lately, ugh! Looking forward to some progress after being exasperated with the patterns. Happy to have you here!😄👍
I love your videos! I've been binge watching them. It's like having a sewing bestie! I'm chronically ill and they really always bring a smile to my face.
Oh Viv! Whilst I am delighted to read your responses to my comments, I never expect a reply. I’d rather you spend those moments sewing and sharing nuggets of sewing info on your vlog. Keep the content coming and I am feeling the ‘short suit’ pattern, can’t wait to see what you do with it. Wish me luck on my skort adventure, I know, this fashion item is outdated unless you golf, but it suits my needs in the scorching Arizona summer and frees me up to frolic with my grand boys. Awaiting McCalls 8109 to get started😀
Skorts out of date? Nay! I've seen in stores last 2 summers. And if they were out of date, who cares! Wear what you love! 😁
I love your enthusiasm. You are so authentically you. You were born to inspire...and shop. Lol
Love your hair!!!
McCall's 8124 looks like a dress Jackie K Onasis had made several times. Nice rest and I like your oldies 'retro' patterns. I also love them. Thanks for sharing.
I love your videos. You don’t have to shorten the videos on my account. I find myself smiling throughout your video. And that makes me happy. You have such an easy-going way about you and really show that you’re enjoying your hobby.
I also want to thank you for listing all the patterns that you talk about. Otherwise we’d have to be spending the time taking notes.
I know it’s time-consuming so you don’t have to answer my comments. Just know that I appreciate you.
I really like your hair today. It’s so cute! Really enjoy your videos seeing all your fabric and pattern hauls. I enjoy seeing how you choose your fabrics to go with your patterns. I struggle with that aspect. Thanks for all your sharing.
Fantastic buys as always.... Thank you so much for sharing xxx have a wonderful day xxxx ❤️🌹🌹🌹
Hi Vivmom. After watching your videos, I decided I wanted to try Simplicity 8332. So I drove 50 miles to buy it at a very clean and organized JoAnn Fabrics....Simplicity patterns were $1.99 yesterday. I was happy to find it in the drawer, along with 5 other 8332 patterns. When it was time for me to check out, the lady scanned the pattern and then said she could not sell it to me because it was an old pattern (copyright 2017???) and was no longer ‘in the system’!....that she had no way to price it! I said it is $1.99, just scan the other pattern twice, heehee. I had to really lay on the sweetness and finally the manager begrudgingly allowed me to buy it....so funny!
Now I want to buy more patterns! I made 3 quilting cotton dresses, maxi skirt, skirt, top, and a tunic I love but was too tight in the arms. My daughter wants it!💞 I’m learning patterns aren’t the same sizes as they use to be. I need to read the measurements! I relearning and having fun! Your love of sewing is contagious!
I have a three piece set which I love so much: great-fitting slacks, a skirt, and a long (mid-thigh) jacket. The drummer called it my rock’n roll suit.....the kicker is the exposed zippers on the pockets and large-ish same-color snaps rather than buttons, etc. The trim and embellishments plus great fit. I get a lot of use of this group - I like to sew vests for it and stuff. I think all that knit would make a great combo like this!!! XOjennyinseattle
As usual you don’t fail to entertain with your enthusiasm and creativity. I can’t wait to see your new creations.
Looooved all the patterns, the dresses are gorgeous. .!! Today I bought seven patterns in the what we in Australia call op-shops and I think you call thrift store. Five were dresses. Like you, I also love looking at them and dream of sewing ,sewing and sewing..!! Saturday I have a sewing day with the sewing guild group and am looking forward to it. Cheers 🌞💕
No, No, and No you do not have a problem with buying patterns and fabric! I love visiting your vlog to see what you've purchased,. I can imagine your closets. When you reorganize your closets, do you donate your clothing to charity? Don't tell your husband....well let me think about that...LOL!! Nah, I won't say anything, we sewists have to stick together, right? Your pattern/fabric hauls are nice. I do love the Simplicity pattern short's set too. I can't wait to see that make. Happy sewing!
Your joy about your patterns and fabric is just so infectious! Think I’ll hit the fabric store today. Sew on my friend.
Love all your fabrics and patterns. The shorts set is wonderful. I am a sucker for anything blue, love your blue solid. I can't wait to see what you make with that. Also, would love see the shorts you make for Collin. If possible hold them up when completed, so they don't have to be modeled. Always looking forward to next video. God Bless.
Thanks for sharing all of those awesome fabrics and patterns.
Very nice haul Ms. Viv! I love the way you review your Fabrics and your patterns! They’re almost as good as show your garments...those are my favs! I just love watching your videos!
Hi Myra! I was just thinking about you, and the move, packing/unpacking, and you’re just a ray of sunshine throughout. Thanks for setting a lovely example. Oh, and of course thanks for watching and always sharing a kind word.😄👍I love your videos!💕
Love your zest for life. Viv you do make me smile. Love those 60s patterns.
😍 Don't reply, sew.😁 You know I love these hauls.! You definitely see the potential of these projects! Fun and motivating.! Yes I got more patterns and fabric! Now, shush. Oh, not the vids .. keep on! Got to see Colin's final shorts decision!
Because of you I am now getting back to sewing clothes.... I made a plain T Shirt in a great Great flower pattern material. My daughter-in-law noticed it and she liked it. Now thats a feat. lol Thank you. I am buying material and patterns and taking some of your advice on patterns. I love watching..
Oh Margie that’s wonderful!! It’s really bolstering to receive compliments from a younger family member because, I don’t know, I trust that they have their finger on the pulse of fashion - good fashion! I’m always charmed when my daughter Candace says she’d definitely wear something I’ve made, or that it has an Anthropologie vibe. Great job on your flowered tee! Keep planning those projects and creating. It keeps us young! Thanks for writing.😃
I just love your fabric hauls, you are just so funny.
Loving the 60's patterns, is love to make up quite a few of those. I agree they used to have done lovely shapes and darts in them. I've only fairly recently started looking at the original (60's) ones and am really enjoying them (my auntie even got me a few for Christmas 😁😍)
Also thinking that first cotton (big red/orange/peach flowers on it) would be BEAUTIFUL made up in a couple of those 60's shift dresses you showed us!!! Can't wait to see what you make 😀 x
You can’t answer everyone! When would you have time to shop for fabric and sew? 🤣🤣 Oh, I love those 60’s patterns!
Oh my goodness, my mother made that dress (8611 Simplicity) for me to wear to my first school dance! It was so cute! Great memories😁
👗Such fun fabrics and patterns. Love the cotton navy with mango flowers - so pretty. That little summer jacket will look so cute on you. The fit is perfect. Love it when you share the Kwik-Sew patterns. Love the long flowy dress pattern. That looks like you. You always find such cute patterns and fabric to go with them. 🌷🧵Happy Sewing! 🤗
Happy Thursday, your vlogs make me happy, no reply needed. Happy Sewing! xx
Love seeing the patterns some I sewed for my Mom years ago. Still like the patterns.
So. I love your top! It's so edgy! You crack me up! Four now?? I can't keep up with you! I wore my skirt yesterday. One lady loved it and she didn't know I made it! Oh my goodness! I adore the pattern 3334!!! That is MY Style. I need seven of them, right now.
Thank you for this! Love your videos😊👍❤
The little jacket with the rounded collar will be darling on you.
Ok Viv, I have been dying to ask: "Can we get a closet tour?" I cannot imagine where in the world you put all the garments you make each month/year. I am struggling with a tiny reach-in closet and am prepared for serious closet envy.
Honey, you would have NO closet envy. It’s a pretty full closet but it’s a standard issue 1972 colonial townhouse closet, with too much junk stored on the upper shelves (why did I hang onto my wedding dress from 1985? And why do I have enough Christmas cards to send to 5000 people?🙄) The trick is that I rotate everything out seasonally. I use those thin velvet shirt hangers - not the ones with the bottom, just the “wings,” and you can get a lot of those into a closet. I donate to Goodwill regularly to make room for the newly sewn stuff. But seriously, I have room in my closet right now for more. I need to be sewing!!😄👍
@@vivmomsews4962
You have just described about 90% of my friend's and my closets!
I think all the time, like where does she put all those wonderful outfits? 😀
OMGOSH! How “Groovy”! I love it ! I actually love the older ( vintage) patterns
I have not been sewing in years. I have been looking for a dress for my son’s wedding. I don’t like anything. You have inspired me to start again. Do something for myself. I am going to try the tunic pattern to start, and keep going to the “Dress”. So keep on buying and sewing I need Ideas!!
Simplicity 8888 is so cute. I like sleeves and pockets, too. I buy and then fix the pattern!
Hey you have over 7000 subscribers you will be at 10k soon. Sew many love you! Great video.
I hit that Kwik Sew sale, too. One pattern is leggings without an outside leg seam, yay! Also, you can join the McCall's, Butterick etc. "club" and get the 3.99 sale patterns for 3.19. Love the extra knit you bought and that Jean Muir! Can't wait to see it realized.
Del Mar Cali... A beautiful place... come on out you'll love it!
Viv, thank you again for having such a positive and lovely video today. The fabric your son wants to be made into shorts is awesome -- he must have inherited your eye. (Just don't let him borrow his dad's swashbuckler shirt to go with it...) And the first floral fabric you showed from Hobby Lobby looks like something similar I purchased there a month or so ago -- I'm hoping to make a simple 3/4 sleeve top with it. The dark background and the pretty floral are appealing to me. I have to laugh when you look for your glasses, because I put my glasses down, too, and then when I go to look for them, they are under some fabric or on my head as well. I'm laughing with you when that happens. I love how real you are, and I get a great sense of being with you in the room. You are like a friend who has come to the house after shopping to show what you found. It's always a good time, and of course it's because kindred spirits have found you here. I hope you have a great week and weekend. Remember, as well as fabric and patterns, you are surrounded with the good will of us who enjoy seeing you here. What a great place to be!
Hello Vivmom thanks for sharing. Let me share this with you , my heart leaped when I saw that beautiful fabric with the horse racing, you see me and hubby are horse racing people, yep we frequent Belmont Park in New York and beautiful Saratoga in August, Well I have a great Idea I think I will go to Joann's and get some roses fabric for The Kentucky Derby in May and make an nice shift dress lol happy sewing.
Yay! Fantastic idea about the roses fabric, Edith. Thanks for writing. I’m excited about the horse racing shorts for Colin. Horses are so magnificent!!😄💕
Just wanted to say i love love love these videos.
OMG Simplicity 7532.. I'm sure that is one my mom made for herself several times AND made kid sized ones for me too! Gotta love mommy daughter dresses 😂
Hi Viv, I LOVE the 60's patterns so much! I can't wait to see your makes from the patterns and fabrics you showed us!
Thanks Christine!! I found another stack of new 1960’s patterns to show you, so they’ll be coming up shortly. Maybe I’d better stop looking at Etsy? Nah! That would take all the fun out of everything!!🤣
@@vivmomsews4962 I can't wait to see them! I love Etsy so much!!!
Hi Viv, That Kwik Sew Jacket pattern 3334 you are gonna love. I have had this one for a few years and have made at least 6 jackets. The fit is fabulous. I have lengthened and flared it to make 2 fabulous coats. I have also lined some that I use in cooler weather. You won't be sayng I made another tunic, you will be saying I made another jacket. Both the collar versions are easy and look great. Love your videos.Cheers from Cheryl in Australia.
Cute Ideas and fabrics can’t wait to see your next makes!
You r such an inspiration! You have made me fearless when it comes to expanding my fabric choices & pattern styles.
I would complete a large pattern dress & think hmm this is so loud. But now I picture your confidence & I embrace it.
Other sites can be so droll but not you! You are a virtual sewing friend that I need to watch & then I get pumped 😘
Hi Jeanne, thanks for such a great note for my first message of the day. I’d call that starting my day off right!😄💕I’m glad to hear you’re feeling more confident in your fabric choices - yay!! Self expression is a good thing and sewing is perfect for it. Keep choosing your bold prints! (I adore bold prints.) Thanks again for writing!
Yeah, I like the short outfit from simplicity, I was looking at their new patterns just today and this one captured my attention.
Nice buys✅ But I might have to tell your husband about your extra fabric, if you don’t split the proceeds with me - ROFL 🤣 FIESTA 🤗🤗🤗
Hi Viv 👋. I haven’t written since you were at maybe 100 something subscribers. U go Vivmom, wu hoo!
Thanks for showing Kwik Sew & telling where I can get the best deal.
Oh my gosh Viv you did it again 😚Love all your fabrics and patterns, that Kwik sew dress with pleats just love it ! (does your husband really need know EVERYTHING 😉🤔......) can't wait what you whisk up this time ,you have such an good eye what fabric goes with what pattern have a Lovely weekend
I have bought fabric and patterns before and then found the same in my stash! 🙄😂 I love seeing what other sewists have got, but the trouble with that is, I go off looking to buy what I've seen! 🤣🤣 As always, TFS 👍❤ I'm off to catch up some more of your older vids. x
Hi Vivmom, Thank you for another lovely video; your 1960s patterns are gorgeous. Also loved "This is a legit knit", hilarious! 😄 Don't worry about having to reply to every message. I'm sure that many of us just want to send you a message to say thank you for making such great videos for us to enjoy. Looking forward to the next one! Cheerio, Jodie
You MUST make Sim#10144 short set!!!! Ultra cute!!!!! BTW love your side swept bangs!!
Just purchased pattern Butterick 3494 (Jean Muir white dress & jacket)
for the jacket I'll have to grade it up but no problem there. I purchase many of the patterns you list for me and my husband. I also purchase from McCall's online and I purchased Kwik Sew 3878 (men’s V neck or crewneck tees, which went on sale the next day:( ) on 02/25 and it still has not been shipped! Love your channel!
I'm addicted to buying patterns as well. I don't have time to make all my lovelies but I try
😊😁😀 HI HELLO VIV MOM
YIPPEE. 🎉 I ENJOY SEEING YOU . YOU ARE TRULY EXCITED ABOUT SEWING. ABOUT FABRICS PATTERNS. AND A L L. THAT IS EVOLVED.
YOU ARE CAUSING A STRANGE THING TO HAPPEN WITH ME.
EVERYTHING I LOOK AT I HAVE A THOUGHT ABOUT HOW COULD I
SEW. SOMETHING IN RELATION TO THAT THING
🎉🎉🎉 Y I P P E E. 🎉🎉🎉
Signing off Scott's wife Vickie 👩🎤
So happy for you and thus, US!
Hi Vivian, Just enjoyed your video again! Your patterns, & fabrics are Super! I have to get my sewing area reorganized, get it going on Bandana tops. I made 15 + last summer. Coolest top for LA hot summers. Love your hair. We could be cousins!!!
I LOVE shopping and sewing vicariously through you!!! Here's a (possible) tip- If I'm not mistaken, Jo Ann will honor the McCalls sales price at Hobby Lobby if you show them the weekly ad on your phone... But hey, then you don't have the fun of being tempted by all the Hobby Lobby fabrics, so... nevermind LOL! No need to write back- I know you're innundated. Just wanted you to know I'm the one that wrote I was having total hip replacement surgery just before Thanksgiving and you wished me well. I'm happy to report I'm now training for a triathlon in April (when I'm not sewing and watching CZcams hahaha!) Keep the videos a-comin! Oh- one more thing- when in Hobby Lobby did you see a lovely linen like carnation pink fabric with small white pin stripes? I'm attempting to create my first suit out of it. I'll keep you posted. Just absolutely fell in love with the fabric ( I know you have NO idea how THAT feels LOL)
Hi viv a problem you don’t say, my husband would devorce yeah that’s not spelt right but I’m having one of those days me if I got as much fabric as you do , some great patterns in there I’ve come to the conclusion viv that you are a lady of leisure to have the time to do what you do, where sewing and getting your patterns and fabric are concerned, four hours to reply to people that’s a long time , you are so much fun to watch viv always a pleasure to catch up on your vids, I cut an old pattern out the other day which was a pair of trousers the vintage type with the buttons that run up along the pockets, I cut it to a size 18 I’m 16/18 but when I looked at the waist band I thought that’s never going g to fit so will have to modify it to fit,I think I will have to have a go at buying fabric on line you get some lovely pieces viv , my daughter came back last weekend and said I’d like a couple of dresses and a pair of floaty trousers making mum please, she is graduating in July so we will be shopping for fabric for her dress I’ve already got the pattern , looking forward to your next video viv .
Hi Viv! I love the Kwik sew jacket, gonna look great on you!
love your fabric haul. was in joann fabric today was short on time and just purchased jean button to fix my husband,s jeans. when i go to joann fabric i just thing about what i want. and as always i love your videos. joyce from houston,tx
I love vintage patterns! If only I could sew tissue patterns...I’ve only had success with PDF.
You are going to be a busy woman!! Haha. Love watching your channel!
Hi Viv, I am flying into LA on 13th and heading to Joann's before anything. I watch all of your videos, love the sewing community on you tube. Sadly we don't seem have such a you tube following here in Australia but I know lots watch all these videos. I have been suffering withdrawals here, trying not to buy fabric as I want so much whilst on holiday. I visit yearly so I have lots of good places to shop at. Love your pattern choices, I too have a problem with buying patterns, have to have them all!!! Keep up the good work.
Love from Australia
Vivian could you talk about what type interfacing to use with what type fabric. Or for light wt cotton versus light knits for tops and dresses, And for heavier cotton and knit.
Love your videos and showing me good patterns, as I don't go looking through pattern books very often. You are giving me hope of being able to sew nice looking clothes and broadening my horizons. Giving me back my joy of sewing. Thank you!
Always love your hauls. The round collar jacket will great on you!
Love seeing you again on here... showing nice fabrics and interesting patterns...I don't know where you find those cute fabrics online... I look at those sites but I never see the same fabrics you get...so I shy away from buying fabrics I have no idea what they're going to look like when I get them... Maybe I should just jump in and buy some and see what happens...😂 Can't wait to see what you do next... Please don't stop! Happy Sewing!
i bought the tiny floral at hobby lobby also! i am using it for a retro 40's dress. love your 60's patterns so much! i made pants out of gingham for a beach vaca coming up, and a knit dress, woven top, and a rayon challis dress! working on more. you're quite the motivator!
I don't know how I missed this video until now, but I loved it. You keep me in suspense with what is coming up next. Great fun, Viv!
Thanks Beth!😄
Love, love, love the jacket with the rounded collar! X
I love them all, Viv. I think I have had some of those patterns back in the day. Have fun sewing.
😂 I’m sorry to laugh at you losing your glasses but I do the same thing constantly. One time we left Wisconsin where I live for a trip to Georgia and I couldn’t find my glasses anywhere when we left. I was wracking my brain on the whole trip trying to think of where they might be and the only thing I could think of was that I put the garbage out just before I left and maybe they fell into the bag b4 I tied it shut. As soon as we got home I looked and sure enough, there they were! Loved your video and pattern haul choice as usual!
I went to JoAnn's today for Simplicity patterns & picked up S8453 (knit color blocked tunic) and now must return tomorrow for the shorts set pattern😍 and probably the other 2 as well..😊 BTW on the Simplicity website the shorts set pattern number is S8891. As always, love your videos!
Never sick of seeing what you do! A tried and true is fabulous! I just got done sewing a new nightgown and thought of you the whole time! So, when is your fabulous husband going to build an extension on the house for a sewing room? I think your gonna need it soon😂😂😉😆. Peace, love and light
I have just started watching you and I just love what you are doing I love the 12 makes in 12 minutes or so on like the fashion show its the best.
Aww, thanks Sherry! I’m glad you’re here. Do you sew?
Hi Viv! Love your haul! Don't you just love Etsy! I didn't know Kwik Sew patterns get marked down on the website! Thanks for the tip! I NEVER buy them for that reason. Great video! Lovely fabrics!
Hi Tea! It can be hard to catch the $3.99 sales on KS, I kind of luck into them when I remember to click on the website. Of course they add shipping but they still come out to about $5 a pattern which beats everywhere else. I’m on such a KS kick! I think the successful tunic endeared me even more to them. Always a pleasure to see you.😄💕
