It is so good to see you Viv. I love those challis! I am just getting started using it, from your inspiration. As a side note, in the 60’s when those pillbox hats were in vogue, especially matching the outfit, ladies made them. A friends mother showed how to cut a part of a Clorox bleach bottle as the base to be covered with fabric. That memory is making me smile this morning.

Happy Belated Birthday to you and Brad! Exciting that you got all those Kwik Sew patterns too! Very thoughtful of Pam to think of you and send them. Please don’t feel bad about not having a bunch of makes. It’s nice just to get a chatty video from you:) 🎂

Happy birthday to you! Last week I was in good old Sinking Spring and thought of you! I was reminded as I lugged out two large bags of fabric of the wine glass my daughter gave me for Christmas. It says ‘Buying fabric and sewing are two different hobbies!’

You have been missed. Happy 60th. Just celebrated 65. I wasn't as graceful about it as you. Looking forward to seeing your makes from the quick sew patterns and that color blocked dress will be wonderful.

My husband got that same implant to replace his front tooth that he lost as a kid! So he wore that flipper for 30+ years. Good luck with that procedure. Husband had great success

My hat is off to anyone who weathered a flipper for 30+ years, Christine!! He's a rock star!! And yes, implants are fantastic. This isn't my first; I'm a big fan.

I got married in 1963. I made a Vogue going away suit. Loved Vogue patterns. Jackie Kennedy, first lady, had a huge influence on fashion.

What a blast from the past was that Simplicity Magazine. The styles and models all looked or transmitted the essence of Jacqueline Kennedy, especially the pillbox hats.those boxy jackets and shift dresses flattered no one. But everyone wore them. My mother loved that look and the Chanel look. Neither of which were meant for my hourglass shape. But I so loved those monthly magazines put out by the pattern companies.

Happy birthday. The 60s aren't too bad! Your husband shares a birthday with my grandson. I also have a flipper. Mine is a front tooth. I can't wait to take it out every day. Yes, I'd like the fabric

Happy Birthday, Viv and Brad. Oh, to be 60 again!! What a cute video - "what are the odds" statement had me laughing so hard. See you soon!!

I too am turning 60 this year to. Happy 60th Birthday. How wonderful to get the kwik sew patterns.

🎉 Happy belated birthday to you!! My 60th birthday is coming up in August!! We're in the 60's club together!! 🎉 I am always so excited for your new videos, as it's like we're girlfriends getting together for coffee, or cocktails, to chat about our new sewing projects or finds to someday be projects!!!

Hi Viv, I’ve only just discovered your channel so am working my way through your videos. I just watched your video “what I see when I look at fabric” and am amazed at what people feel they have the right to say to you. I have found your channel so informative and helpful. I have just returned to sewing after about 20 years. I wish KZread had been around when I was young because I have learned so much watching various channels. I’m 64 and currently live in Australia - from the UK originally - and am into a variety of crafts. I can’t believe how many garments you make in a month, let alone in a year. I love it. Look forward to seeing more videos. THANK YOU ❤

Hi Val! Thanks so much for writing, and being here. Welcome!😃

You’ve been missed! Hope you and Brad had a wonderful birthday! I’ll be in that group in about 10 months. Those patterns were a nice gift. I love the shoes in that book from your sister. Hope your family is doing well. Take care and God bless y’all! 😀❤️

Hi, Viv. Belated Happy Birthday wishes to you both. Good to see you! Seems EVERYONE is having dental issues with implants recently. Hope all goes well for you! Excited to see some makes when ready! Trying to become interested in sewing again - or even life again. That would be nice. Blessings on your family. Have a beautiful Easter!🕊🌷

Hi Nancy! Thanks for being here. I can't imagine the pain and uphill climb you're experiencing -- know that you're in my heart. Keep going forward, even if some days feel like a snail's crawl. I'm thinking of you.

I just watched your commentary and enjoyed it. Another trip down memory lane while you shared the Simplicity magazine from 1963. I previously viewed your KZread last night for the 1st time covering the 1973 Vogue patternbook, a very good KZread episode! What struck me on your Simplicity magazine episode was the obvious fact this magazine was a playbook from American royality back then. Jackie Kennedy was the rage during the early part of the 60s decade, the queen of style setting. Every single outfit looked like it came straight out of her closet. Every American woman wanted to wear a piillbox hat, white gloves and a short jacket/dress combo with a pearl choker necklace. I was only 8 years old then but it didn't take a rocket scientist to observe the legend of the Jackie Kennedy mystique and how American women embraced all things Jackie Kennedy! The Simplicity company didn't know it at the time of publishing, but it made a huge social commentary on the direction of American fashion thru the photographs of those outfits/patterns for the Jackie wannabes. What June Cleaver (LEAVE IT TO BEAVER TV sitcom) started with her style in the late 50s Jackie took to the next level and swept America along as the style setting fashion queen. So....that's the memories your KZread evoked in me today. Thanks for the great commentary once again!!!!! Carrie from the San Francisco Bay Area 🤣🐓☕🧵🪡🧶

Hi Vivmom-Happy Birthdays! The French Terry is very pretty-I'd be interested in that piece. We have missed you!!!!

I had a dental implant but never had a dental flipper! Never heard of it. You'll be fine until you get the implant👍 Yes love the French terry! Would make summer pjs or beach cover-up. You really scored on your birthday!🎉 Patterns and then the Simplicity book-very nice!!

Happy Belated Birthday !!!!! What a great thing to get those patterns. Love the book also.

Why do I like thee let me count the ways! You have a flipper tooth. You are loved by so many of your fans. And your humor gets me out of my funk, lol! Bless you!

Happy Birthday dear Viv. I am so happy to see you.

Happy birthday to both of you🎉🎉🎉 Re the flipper, I had a dental implant and didn’t have one of these at all. I had to wait 6 months for the implant to be fixed, due to Covid! No problems at all. I hope you experience the same luck. TS

Happy Belated Birthday! Congrats on the KwikSew bonanza! That striped terry is lovely!

The pictures in that Simplicity book are definitely 1963 and are the Jackie Kennedy look. I was a sophomore then and LOVED the look. So sophisticated.

I'm glad you are back. I'd love to have that fabric!

Happy, happy birthday, and welcome to your sixties! Lots of fun in this decade. Always a treat to see you with or without teeth (heeheehee). I'm dealing with a back tooth implant -- takes 500 years for the implant to correctly graph on to your jaw. A true pain ... part of the slow healing of someone in their 60s! I can't wait for that 1970s counter catalog. I'm a dedicated sewist of Vogue and my love of that pattern company started in high school -- in the 1970s. Take your sweet time ... being 60 and all (heeheeheehee).

Wow, you hit the Kwik Sew jackpot! I am happy for you. 🎉🎉 Happy belated 60 birthday! 🎉🎉

The yellow suit in the simplicity book reminds me of queen elizabeth.

so good to see you back! i'm so sorry for your dental troubles! ugh!!! love that challis! happy belated birthday! :)

The 1963 magazine reminds me of Jackie Kennedy. Happy birthday

Ohhh Viv, you’re to funny! Nice to see your face, and you certainly have spoiled us over the years with all your interesting, informative and great videos! Always makes me laugh 😆. Your fabric hauls are what I always looked forward to, and you never disappointed us! Fabric Mart must truly love you! This batch of Challis are outstanding and beautiful. Then the incredible gift you received of those patterns, I still have several from Many years ago, and still use them! If you think Burda instructions are wired, check out Style Arc, their instructions are almost non-existent! We’ll have a great week, looking forward to seeing the Vogue book! And always your new makes! Just have to tell you, in the Simplicity pattern magazine I saw the fashion my mother wore, brought back memories, the suits she made and she wore hats too!

🎉Happy Birthday.🎉 And I love the fabric of the French terry❤

Very happy birthday and welcome to the 60's club. I love the Kwik Sews. What a great gift. The sewing community is great!! I once swallowed my temporary flipper while eating a handful of french fries!!! 😅

Happy birthday! I love the color combination.

I love your Kwik Sew patterns and getting them on your birthday too, what a treat!! 🥰❤

Happy belated blessed birthday to you and your husband Viv 🎶🎈🎂🎈🎶 I love the fabric you showed to give away! Glad your back...i was concerned you wernt well❤️ Youll love your cover-stitch machine once you use it...I learned on youtube. How awesome you were blessed with all those Kwik Sews!!! Cant wait to see your makes🤗 Have a blessed day whatever you choose to do.

Happy anniversary Vivmom! I love seeing the pictures from the 1963 magazine. My mom used to get clothes for us from the church donations and she has made me a pink polka dot dress and matching solid pink coat from a donated adult size ensemble. (Like in your magazine). It was such a favorite of mine!!). Seeing this video brought back this special memory for me. Stay well!

Happy belated Birthday. I saw your celebration pics and was so happy. Today (April Fools Day) is my 57th birthday. I have lost three of my four wisdom teeth in the last two years. Ugggg I wish you all the best. I always click on your video as soon as I see them pop up. ❤

Happy Birthday!!! So glad you had a wonderful time! And this is a first! I had never heard of a tooth “flipper” until I watched your video! I assume it’s just a spacer. But I would be just like you - I’m sure I would hate it! Ha! BTW, I lost the same tooth you did several years ago, but I settled for a bridge, which is wonderful! My husband had implants last year for all his lower teeth. For him it was a 9-month procedure as they had to remove extra bone before putting the implants in - and every surgery requires, as you know, 3 months of healing. But he loves them! Anyway, thank you for my “Vivmom Fix”! Sooo happy to see this! And really looking forward to the pattern book!!!

I’m late watching this because Saturday was 10 hours in the car with hubby & the dogs from Virginia to Florida. Wow you really got some nice patterns. This last couple of months my hubby had 20 teeth pulled and has been dealing with adjusting to dentures. It has gotten a lot better but there has been some pretty rough spots along the way.

Your a sewing inspiration. The patterns were put in the right hands and will be fun to see what you do with them. when you decide to create with them. Love the sweet styles of the 60's. The vintage magazine and all vintage magazine lets us revisit what was and compare it to what is now. It just reminded me of the memories I spend turning pages of what was the current fashions in the world of sewing. The sewing patterns in the 60's were safe and sophisticated and it was all about the fabrics used, Happy Birthday and you are an inspiration with a fun energy.

You know what you can do with that terry fabric? Start making some burp cloths. we are the same age and our friends are all becoming grandparents. Burp cloths are a wonderful gift to send.

So glad to see you back on You Tube.. Don't worry about how much you get done. Just take things as they come and relax, ❤🙏❤

Happy birthday to you! Welcome to the sixties, relax and enjoy the journey.

What a great gift from Pam! Sorry you lost a tooth, now if only the tooth fairy would make it an easy and cheap fix, but sadly I don’t think that’s going to be easy or cheap. Fabrics are beautiful! I like that dress patter with the two similar fabrics. I can’t wait to see how that turns out. Take care and remember 60’s are sweet and sassy! 😁Welcome to the 60’s! 🎉

Something about cover stitch machines. 2022 July, I bought a air threader does both cover stitch and serging. Didn’t open until Oct, never own one. I retired so I pick up sewing on a more steady schedule. I’m wondering why I didn’t owe one, I love it can’t live without it. Go for it, good luck and happy sewing with it.

So very nice to see you. Wishing you a 'belated' Happy Birthday. Your birthday gifts were amazing. How exciting for you. We won't hold you to the promises...sometimes life happens, and we know we will enjoy your new 'sews' when you have the time. I can't believe I gave away boxes of patterns to my church rummage sale a few years ago. Many were uncut (many were Kwick Sew) and I just loved them...they were like friends. I was working in an office at the time, found my life to be in a state of 'downsize' to an apartment, had surgery and just never had the time for the craft I get such pleasure out of doing... sewing. It is a way for me to expand on my creativity. Sometimes the projects are wonderful... sometimes they are failures but every time I learn something. Looking forward to seeing you again...

60’s is the best! I would make a hoody with the pretty stripes.

Oh and the YT video is just great! Belated happy bday🎉 !!

Happy belated Birthday to you and Brad! 🎂🎂 Viv have you been to Hobby Lobby lately? They have changed their layout in the sewing area again. Not happy with how they have this second row of fabric in back of the first row on the floor fixtures. The girls who work there aren’t happy either because it’s difficult putting them back. Another thing is they never have pattern sales 😢 I did notice they have some nice fabric such as linen and rayon challis so that’s a plus at least.

So glad to see you again! Happy birthday! I was sooooooo excited to find you after my back surgery in November and watched your videos you had and enjoyed every single one of them! You actually helped me with my recovery! Wasn’t sure I would be able to sew again after my second back surgery again in December, but after a hard recovery for a few months I was able to get back in the sewing room! I’m still doing physical therapy but I’m so grateful to be able to sew again, and glad I found you! Thank you for all you do for us! Loved all your fabrics and can’t wait to see your next video!

Wish I was just 60! Happy belated birthday to both of you. On the 16th of March I had my first cataract out! Well let me tell you, better than bubble gum. I’ve worn glasses since I was in 6th grade, near sighted, I am now 74. I am now far sighted with 20/25 vision in the one eye. I am just ecstatic. The other eye is set for April 4th. I have great expectations. I could see clearly that night after the operation. I will need “readers”, but who can’t deal with that?? Another thing I can tell you, which I didn’t know, cataracts never grow back. So happy to see you and glad you’re doing well. You look wonderful.

I'm glad that Candace was able to fix your sideways video! I had grand plans for March and then decided to play with stripe direction on a simple knit top-had to ask my sweetheart for help with cutting the front on the bias and couldn't believe he reminded me not to forget to add seam allowance!?

It did take time to learn but now I wouldn’t go back And get this my steam station sat in the box for 7 years, yes 7 years and no less The box frightened me it looked so complicated and technical and really it simply is not.
