Love the May makes! My youngest is just a few years older (23 this Sept.) and is Colin also. 😊 handsome young man there Mom! He was so sweet being involved with the sewing. My Colin is also really sweet and supportive. Our children are such a blessing. I miss the homeschooling days. They grow up so, so fast. I can hardly believe it. God bless and keep your precious family.

Love, love your looks! You are so cute and fun to watch. I love how your family supports you in your hobby. Thanks for the inspiration!

All marvelous, but my favorite is the last outfit; it looks especially great on you. It's nice to have a family that appreciates your work. It tickled me that Collin had it all planned exactly how he would accessorize the shorts.

Hello. I've never ever written a comment, but you have Inspired me so much I just want you to know. I have binge watched most of your videos and I wish there were more. I started sewing for the first time just 2 months ago and I can't wait until I can sew as well as you. Please don't go anywhere, keep these amazing videos coming.

At first I was all "does she have pants on?" and then I saw the shorts. Thanks to you, I pulled out the sewing machine, took some scrap material and made a top to see if I could with your hints. I did, so I'm going to make it with real material!! I've never used binding for a neckline before and it was SO EASY! Please do more construction videos!!!

So I have become addicted to sewing videos on KZread - mostly thanks to you and I have to say, you need to have your own DIY channel because your natural freshness is so fun to watch. You are such a natural in front of your home made phone videos that I think you can charm an audience nationwide. Keep posting so we can enjoy your life..

Could not wait until your May makes came out! Made my day! Everything is so lovey and yes, you do inspire so many of us!

It’s not a throw rug. It’s a runway! LOL

I don't know if I'm the only one, but I did suggest a little rug for her show and tells, and hate had nothing to do with it. I am subscribed to this channel, and have posted Vivmom's link to my facebook for all my friends because I love her videos! I am 68, and maybe it's partly my age, but I found the extra noise to be a distraction from hearing what Vivmom was saying. I was very happy to see she took up the suggestion, whether from me or someone else, and added the little rug. I know it's a little more effort for her, but I GREATLY appreciated it! Thanks, Vivmom! I want to share a photo with you, but can't find your facebook to do that, but I thought I wrote to you on a facebook page previously?

Hi Viv! You are awesome! I love how you did a rolled hem using your serger! Would you do a quick tutorial to show us that? Thanks for everything 💕

Awesome! Thank you Viv!

Who would make comments about the noise of your shoes? Some people have nothing better to do than complain about the minutia! Loved all your makes and I could see the stitching on that last skirt! Darling and creative! Kudos to your family for being such willing models!

Love your videos. Don't let comments change you too much. There are so many opinions out there and what one likes another one won't so keep being your sweet self.

Awesome job this lazy month! You are the best Viv, so happy and bubbly all the time. Thank you for sharing your talent and family with us. I had never seen Colin what a handsome young man. I see a lot of you and Brad in him. Both personalities for sure.

Love Brad's shirt the fabric is lovely and really suits him. I think it great that your family support you with your channel. Love all your makes. So kind of you for sharing your patterns, makes and sewing tips. You are a lovely kind lady, thank you :)

Wow!!! You did a lot of sewing in two weeks!!! I loved all the makes and it’s so nice you sew for the whole family.

Last garment was just awesome, custom made for sure.

VivMom, please, could you put your life on hold and just post videos to watch for all of us who hang on your every word? Thanks, a devoted fan. 🤪🤪

I LOVE IT ALL! Including the beautiful rug...perfect! Much better! You are AWESOME!

I love the belted waist on you- it highlights your waist. Sometimes the drape of some fabrics over a fuller bust makes it look like the person has a thicker waist. You have a very small waist so the cinching in looks beautiful. You also have the perfect legs for shorter lengths but all lengths look great on you.

Love your new "runway" rug, it softens the sound of your footsteps so we can hear what you have to say better! Thanks for that. What can I say - everything you do is great.

Love the kimono outfit, and love the tie die shirt... Well, I love all of them. Collins shorts are dynamite... So great that he loves them. Brad is the new star of the fashion show. Love his shirt, and his modelling. Oh, gosh. So many great makes. Inspiring.

Model Brad is braver then any man I know. He looks good in those shirts you made. Colin looks good in his shorts

The little black dress works well as a day or evening wear. Love it!

Everything you made is fantastic. Of course, I love Your Son's shorts because they look great. I knew they would in that fabric! It possibly helps that I live approximately 30 minutes from Del Mar. (I lived all my life (57 yrs.) in same area & I have never been to the races.) Oh, my favorite on you is the black dress. I always like the trims on the bottom of your dresses. Well, I just like everything as usual! God Bless.

I love all of your makes. You look fabulous in them. I can’t pick a favorite because they are all wonderful. Your family is so supportive of you. It is so easy to see the affection you all have for each other. Your videos make my day.

Wow! She's a pro👏

Saving the best for last! The color block dress is a stunner, I'm glad you gave detail with the leaf embroidery stitch, nice touch! Always enjoy your videos and I actually like the sound of your shoes, wish others didn't mind.

I loved this video. I like that none of the men in your family mind modeling their shirts and shorts. You look so lovely in everything you make and I do love everything you make. However that last outfit was absolutely stunning.

It's so cute that your family joins you in your videos 💚 You didn't sew for half the month and you still have 11 makes?! You're an inspiration! Great makes, Viv!!

You and your family are so cute! Love all your makes - my favorite is the kimono outfit - you look gorgeous in it! Have a blessed day! Xoxo

That little black dress looks so elegant on you. You may have started May slow, but you clearly finished strong!

Thank you for showing tell! And for sharing your handsome men with us! I'm so happy to see you have such a beautiful and wonderful family! I also really appreciate when you show us how to set in sleeves flat! Thank you so much!

I can't tell you how much I enjoy your videos. Brad and Colin add a nice touch also. Dress S1810 suggestion. Try crossing the belt in the back first then bringing it around to the front to tie. My thoughts are twofold, crossing your belt in the back first would make it a bit shorter in the front and this would also distribute the fullness around your waist more evenly (it looks fuller in the front, and nobody needs that). Otherwise I like the long ties. Love the color blocked outfit!! You look fabulous in it.

Darling makes this time!! You did yourself proud for Me Made May. You sure have some handsome men in your house! LOL 😉😃

I love how your son modelled for you! What a dude!

Beautiful!!!! You must have a giant wardrobe to choose from. You all are so adorable and how nice your family supports you! They certainly benefit from your fabulous skills!!!

I ma a new sewist, and watching your Makes and Construction videos is like attending a Master Class. I appreciate your enthusiasm, your free-thought narrative, your real life modeling of the pieces and fabrics, and you frank discussion of how the patterns. I gives me hope to know that sometimes the pattern is just bad, and it's not necessarily my fault! It's like I'm chilling and chatting in line for the cutting table at Joann's, with someone who really knows her stuff, but is still willing to coach a newbie. I super appreciate you! Thank you!

Just when I think you have outdone yourself on the videos, you surpass that thought with another outstanding video! The kwik sew black dress is killer, that is one chic dress! The tunic with leggings is totally my style, as an older woman I'm all for comfort. The kimono is perfect for church.

Love your makes, tips and comments. Yes, yes, yes to the belted S1810 dress! It looks great on you and shows your shape. Might look mumu-ish without the belt. The guys are great models.

My fav is the Kimono and color block skirt. It really looks great on you. Your son is so handsome - he has a career modeling your creations! Love seeing the whole family in on the makes. Thanks, Viv!

Thank you Viv for inspiring me yet again. Your makes are wonderful and I always look forward to your videos. I was rolling my eyes that someone has commented about you clip clopping on your floor. If I were you, I would whip that rug away and tap dance through your next video !😂❤

Total approval. How you put pattern and fabric together is brilliant. Brilliant Family too. Loved it all

I called my husband over to see Brad's shirt ...we both liked it on him so much. Also liked everything you wore...kudos on your belt! Thanks Colin for modeling those cool shorts.

I love your monthly makes, and I don’t mine your shoes. I can’t believe someone comment on sound your shoe made on the floor.It is wonderful how your family supports you in your sewing. Your son even said thank you to you for the shorts. You are very blessed.

Thanks Patricia! There was a small band of folks who don’t like shoes on wood floors. It’s just second nature to me and I rather like it - I’m a wood fanatic and most of my shoes are wood. I do feel blessed that my family cheers on my sewing. I want it to be that way for everyone, I guess it’s not. I will count my blessings!😃

WOW! Nice "matching" shirts for both of you!! Those are really nice shorts for Colin. I like all of your makes. The Simplicity 1810 does have such a long tie! But, I do like the dress. I think it works perfectly for those hot stuffy days!!

So many cute things. My favorite was the ruffled tunic. Using the fabric for the neck binding made it look beautifully finished. Thanks for the video.

I love seeing your projects. You have made me view my sewing in a different way - as a hobby! I used to feel guilty about making something to wear when I didn’t need it. But if I look at it as a hobby (and mental therapy), it’s OK to make a shirt just for the fun of it!

I loved EVERYTHING! Your son's shorts were great. I am trying to find my favorite knits so any comments on what you feel about them is appreciated. Again-great looks!

Your sewing skills, personality, and legs are stellar. rock on Vivvie!

Love watching your channel and thanks bunches for spending the time sewing and giving us great advise. It’s also a huge benefit to see how they actually look after sewn. After seeing all your knit projects I want to try sewing with it, just intimidating. 😬 Again thanks bunches❤️❤️❤️

You can do it, GG! Knit projects are fun because...they’re usually quick, they have a forgiving fit, you can insert the sleeves flat, you’ll build your confidence! The trick is finding a good weight knit - at least for starting out - so that you maintain control over it. Call on me if you need help!👍

Viv - I love you clonking around on the hard floor! Ffs what is wrong with people. 😒 I like your blue flower shirt on you the best. 💗⭐🌼

The shirt you made for your husband looks so classy on him and fit his body great. Also your son looks really cool in his shorts. My favorite on you is the NL dress in the fancy ITY knit with white trim. The fabric, print and cut are great! Looking forward to your next months makes. :)

I love the tunic. The ruffled hem line is so flirty and feminine.

New Look 6449 is adorable! I'll have to try it.Also, I'm impressed that Colin would model for you:)

Lovely collection Viv, and fitted on a lovely lady. I admire the way that Brad and Colin support you.

Love your fashion shows ❤️💕💜💖💗👍🥰☺️ Thank you for sharing. Take care and God, Chris-Raleigh NC

You are delightful :-) I think the fit on all of your outfits are perfect. My fave is the black dress and the block skirt and kimono at the end. I can't believe you put the throw rug down for the grumpys lol. Thank you for sharing your makes xx

I love the last outfit. Wish I could wear that skirt but I am “blessed” with saddle bags which means full skirts or a-lines. I know you can color block on a full skirt but it just wouldn’t have the same clean look. To bad the black dress was such a bogger. It was so cute. Always enjoy your videos. Enjoy the weather.

Darling outfits! Thanks for working so hard on them. I really appreciate your vids. You are so blessed to have those 2 handsome men helping you also lol. I'm always amazed how you take simple patterns and hit it out of the park with your fabulous choice of fabrics! Feel free to keep doing sewing tutorials, too😊

You are so talented and have very good taste. I love the way the men in your life gladly model for you. That says a lot about you. You have inspired me to sew again.

Love all the May made makes. Love hearing the changes you made to make the patterns fit your tastes and that of your husband and children, and they worked.

The dress and caftan combo is a total winner and looks great on you

No wonder you seem such a happy person with two men like that in your life :) Beautiful makes, thanks for sharing! Not a huge fan of Simplicity 8310, but the rest are beautiful!

Love that tie-dye top. I’m so hippy though, so a very soft fabric that would lay down nicely would be a must for the ruffle...or else I’d look like one of those cartoon hippos in a tu-tu.

fabulous fashion show! Keep sewing.

I love that your husband and son model also. I've made clothes for my husband and son as well.

I will echo what Nancy said below. Kudos to your hubby and son. Those makes were great! And that fabric for the shorts looked perfect.☀️ Hahaha! Whoever made comments on the shoes on wood floor I’m absolutely sure they don’t have or like wood floors...🤔😆 I will just comment personally here about the long dress with the long front tie. I was noticing as you untied it to show different tying options... I think the longer tie ‘tails’ blend in more with the longer dress, so that (to me) it looked like it all flowed together better, than perhaps it would with a short tie, since it’s a long dress. Just my thoughts. And whether or not you end up liking the dress, I think it’s beautiful and love the fabric. And that last 3-piece outfit with the color block skirt... A W E S O M E! Wow! Did I love that? I did!🤩 I could see the same pattern made from more holiday-ish fabric for a beautiful Christmas outfit! I’m afraid I no longer do skirts, but I’d definitely do that with some pants. Everything was an A+. Loved it all, and the video! Thanks! And thank you, LORD, for the beautiful sunshine!☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️🌷

I love, love, love the skirt, camisole, and kimono jacket. That outfit is stunning on you. It is gorgeous with your height. Thank you for the lovely video of all your wonderful creations and explanations of the fabrics and construction.

You broke through some design barriers with the kimono top outfit....awesome. I am a big fan of the 3 thread narrow!

Love the hi low tie dye:

Lol, I enjoy your clomping shoe sound. Great makes as usual.

Shoes doesn't or shouldn't bother anyone..People are always looking for something to gripe about! Finding fault isn't the answer..Doing a good job,keep it up

I love to see the fabric selections you buy. At first I thought they were hideous, ugly and ‘what were you thinking?’. When you make these ‘dreadful’ prints into garments, what a surprise! The print looks great! And the pattern complements the fabric! Really impressive and inspiring, too. As far as types of fabrics, I am no longer hesitant to consider rayon or ITY knits. You have kicked me out of my cocoon, and I thank you for that!

Your husband and son are so sweet to participate in your videos so willingly. Also you look great in black.

Loving your outfits Viv 💕💕 The PIA black dress particularly is so cute! Thank you. X

That kimono and color blocked outfit is fantastic looking. Great fabric/ style matching. The black dress looked awesome as well!

I like how your husband “works it” for the camera, he’s a hoot! I like the shorts that you made for your son, I love the fabric that you used.

Love this video. It does gives us lots of ideas and I love to see you talk lightly about your makes. I don’t want my sewing to take over my life and I think you are a great example of how to enjoy it, even when it doesn’t go our way.

Lovely, lovely. I love your long maxie with the tie belt. Also the dress with the bold colors. It looks vintage to me. Your son made me laugh back there posing So proud of those shorts. Thanks for sharing

Thanks Viv for sharing today, I really enjoyed watching!!! Judy

I don't usually thing this - but I really love them all this month! Especially that tie-dyed knit top. The LBD is so cute and flattering - I just ran across a similar pattern about half an hour ago - planning things out, etc. I didn't think I'd like it but yours looks so good that I might try it! You have so many great tips - cutting at the lengthen/shorten line, adding trim at the hem, using an embroidery stitch at the hem! Who among us ever actually uses those stitches? Well done. Beautiful.

Another winner! I love your family and the support they give you. I loved all your projects, but the last one with the skirt is wonderful. Very creative, lady. you are talented. Thanks again for a great video.

All your garments are lovely as usual! Candace’s dress in the other video was very elegant. My favorite garment, however, is the Kwik 4002 tie-dyed tunic with the ruffle; great use of that lovely fabric!

so many lovely makes! The last outfit was a standout :)

Love the black dress, worth the pain 😊👍🏻

Love how your family enjoys what you sew for them. Your last outfit was gorgeous! Love the color block skirt, kimono! Perfectly done!💞💞💞

Love all the outfits, especially the last one. Great sewing....Viv!

facing PIA dress was fab looking on you!

Love your new sews. I especially like the leaf motif bolero, beige tank, and the two-tone skirt. If I were to make the bolero, I would extend the length to where it meets the dark brown of the skirt. That way, when seen from behind, it would appear more stream-lined. I do like my tops a little longer. However, you look smashing in this outfit. I just love your videos. You exceed many of the women who have been on the sewing front for years. I enjoy your fresh, honest approach to sewing. And I do appreciate your encouragement.

Viv: That last ensemble you put together with the kimono is lovely. You really show your creativity with the changes to the finishing of the edge and the embroidery on the bottom of the skirt. Inspiring to see. I also like the shorts. I remember when you bought that fabric, so it is nice to see the finished garment. Also like the camp shirt in the quilting cotton. As always, you are inspiring and give great ideas. You are a joy to watch. Take care, and peace to you.

I liked so many of these, especially Colin's shorts, and your PIA black dress. I need to go back now and note some of these pattern numbers. 😉 Thanks, can't wait til your next video!

You are too generous 💝💜❤️💕💜💝

Hi Viv! Another fun video. I'm so glad you got your inspiration back. Love the color blocked skirt and tops. That tank with wide straps looks like a good one to hide bra straps. I'll have to check it out. You look great with a belt. Great makes as usual as well as the sleeve lengthening tip. Enjoy the summer weather!

I noticed the rug, 😂 Great looks. Thanks for sharing!!!

I love all of your makes! I will be making that tye dye top also the tank and kimono for sure. Thank you for letting us follow your creative makes, please keep them coming.

My favorite is the last outfit with the kimono. So chic! Love all of the looks but that was my favorite. You have a lovely family. You are so blessed. Thanks for sharing.

Oh my, each month keeps getting better and better. Loved last look. Kimono is my style of dressing. Two genius things you did that I liked: 1) dark band around bottom of skirt (unexpected) and 2) top of skirt same material as tank (gives the look of a dress rather than two pieces under there.) Fyi I am now finally caught up with ALL of your videos. Enjoyed going through them all. Especially fun to see fabric from earlier video show up in a later video as a completed garment. Btw Collin is quite adorable. And the party dress on beautiful daughter is stunning.

Hi Vivmom. Love all your looks but the last one, I love especially. You inspire me. Shout out to your family for supporting you by modeling your makes.

So many beautiful makes!! I love that the men in your life appreciate your sewing so much. Thank you for great tips. ❤️

I hear you with lengthening your hubby's shirt. Mine is 195cm (6'5"?) I love how you have your family modeling for you. Well done, very nice outfits! xxx Cilou

Thanks for another great video. I have to say the last three outfits were so so flattering on you. Especially the last one, the brown skirt with the little jacket. Wow! You looked A-amazing!!!

You are so inspiring💝💕 keep up the great work. Btw you and your whole family are gorgeous! Like the Ken and Barbie with kids in normal life. I love that they support your sewing too. My family has always supported mine as well but I've never really tried to sew for the grown men so I've watched you with your husband now several times and now I've decided to show my husband what there is to offer men real manly men not just PJ's and such.

That last outfit is one of my favories...and as usual, you look like a model....you have got all the attributes necessary....You should go into doing that...You look like a pro gal. You remind me of a Doris Day...she was so pretty and sweet as you are.
