Its September 2023 and I've binge watched your content. I no longer feel guilty for buying more fabric and feeding my addiction. 😂

Wow wow and wow. They are all juste so beautiful. They look gorgeous on you. But my favorite was the last one. The fabric so beautiful and just love the style of the dress. Bravo Viv 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

This collection of dresses are beautiful and chic. They appear to be expensive .These would be perfect for working in a upscale boutique. 💐

Hi Viv… every dress you wore and showed were 5 star 🌟. Colors and prints fabulous 🌺. Thank you for all the positive vibe… see you next time👋

You have to have “vision” to see something nice out of those pattern cover photos! Each dress looks fantastic on you- way nicer than the cover!

hi viv mom i am a male i have been watching your videos for a long time now but first let me wish your beautiful daughter candace every happiness the clothes you made for her are absolutely beautiful prints look good on her your clothes are beautiful and the making of your husband clothes are very nice if your dont mention your mistakes on your clothes you will never see it such beautiful fabrics may god continue to bless you and your family have a blessed day

These are all pretty, but I liked the second one (green and white) best. I have always loved green, but my kids never wanted green clothes, and it seems to be a trend, so I think that's why green always seems better priced.

congratulations to Julie Ann More Edwards!!! Enjoy the video and your makes. Nice to visit with you today.

The irrational fear of zippers! Exactly - we can all relate to that.

You look amazing in all your makes! I especially love the See and Sew peasant style dress! The fabric is perfect for that pattern! 😊

It's also very cute to hear how Candace thinks you can fix that dress. None of my daughters wanted to learn to sew, but they seem to think we are geniuses when we make something beautiful. It's the classic "you make it look easy, therefore it must be easy for you." In sewing you are the equivalent of Ginger Roger's dancing backwards in high heels, lol!

It's been decades since I seemed clothing. Glad to know they still make patterns.

Hi I am missing your videos! My other favorite sewists quit doing theirs, and I am suffering from the doldrums. I have had 2 surgeries in the last 6 weeks and I am bored and need some inspiration to get back to sewing as soon as my body is able. So get on it beautiful lady! Just kidding. I do miss you.

Aww thanks Nancy. I’m kind of rethinking my role on KZread, I don’t have the zeal for it anymore. But I am sewing and will share what I’ve made in June!👍

Congratulations to my namesake Julie you are a lucky lady. There are some stunning fabrics coming your way. Love your new fashion show Viv. They all look lovely and cool 😎 ready for the hot weather which is still yet to reach us in the UK. Shame about Candace’s dress…. But we live and learn 🤷‍♀️ now back to my sewing machine🪡🧵

I totally understand the conundrum I sewed my own clothing and other items for many many years. I held my mother at nasty look point to teach me how to sew. I found that basing things on a pattern that has already been made it’s just a generalization of a woman’s body. . It’s funny I gave it up for quite a bit while I care for my Alzheimer’s elders and I started making jewelry I’ve had many many domestic careers that something has sparked me and I think it’s the summer. I was very creative with the things I made. I still think I have what it takes to maybe be a designer but my body doesn’t believe me anymore I’ll be 65 on September 11 it’s hard to let go of The things that you loved that forged you into who you are. 🥰 sending many blessings and love to all of you.

So cute for Candace...too bad it didn't fit her and no she is not small chested...she has a very cute figure...very blessed girl! Everything looks so nice VIVMOM and thank you for giving me more wonderful ideas to sew. You keep me inspired!🤗

The last dress, 6652 New Look, is my favorite. It looks great on you Viv.

told you I couldn't wait to see your makes and you did not disappoint!! the new look 6652 in crepe de chine was my favorite and you look so good in it!! congrats, Julie. have lots of fun with your new stash.

The green floral dress screams summer bridal shower and that last telio fabric dress is so resort! Throw all of them in a suitcase and take a cruise!! Thanks for including fabric type, pattern and lessons learned! I sewed my first invisible zip yesterday and only had to rip it out once! Now I'm not scared either! Victory!

Happy to hear it, Kim, well done!👏👏

Beautiful!! Beautiful!! Beautiful!! And you got so much benefit out of the Mother-of-the-Bride experience all around. Like going to a master class. Yay!! Invisible Zips are tamed! 🤗🤗🌹🌹🌹 Was sorry to hear of the loss of inseam pockets on that cute shift dress. I’d guess the pockets were off grain and/or the stitching pulled the other fabric off grain. The twisting and tugging etc…that’s what it tells me. Though the dress is still pretty. You could make a little matching bag! Or a hair scarf… ok, I’ll go away now ….

Love the last dress on you,you look absolutely stunning! But you would look good in a bin bag! Have a lovely weekend,much love🌺🌹🥂

I haven’t sewn for years but the more I watch your videos the more I am getting tempted! You’re very talented!

Thanks so much, Susan!

I love Anna Maria Horner. I’ve made several dresses with her cotton prints and they’re a nice weight and gorgeous prints.

You certainly know how to make pattern and fabric sing, Viv! You look lovely in them all! Kind regards from Penny in Liverpool 🇬🇧😊💕

5836 Butterick, Just love the dress and the length, very flattering!

For Candace’s dress, I’d try bringing it it up at the shoulders by increasing the seam allowance of the shoulder seam. It would reduce both the bodice length and the size of the armhole. As for the dress you were wearing while discussing Candace’s dress - you are an incredible knockout in that dress. Such flattering lines on you. You’re an inspiration to us all!

Oh dear me! I love all of your dresses! So glad I found you! I have been sewing for at least 50 years! Since I was 15 😘. Absolutely adore the last dress you have on AND the peacock dress & fabric!!!!! PS- I am a “pocket girl” too!!! 😃

Congratulations Julie Ann Moore-Edward's! Viv all your dresses are divine! Love everything you make!❤️👍😊

That dress with the peacock print is just gorgeous on you.

Sweet Vivmom , marvellous dressesThe first one looks vintage,the last one looks modern,all dresses look good as always

Love all the dresses but my fav. is the dressy last one .Thanks for sharing.

Always awesome sewing, and yes I understand about invisible zippers. 😀

The one with the big yellow flowers is my favorite......love it!!!

Great review! So beautiful dresses! Looks amazing! Thanks for sharing! Have a great day my friend🌸👍

They are very pretty! I really like the Peacock . Congratulations to the winner!💐

Hi Vivian! It's 1:50 a.m. and I just felt I had to have some fun, before sleeping, by watching one of your videos. Oh yes, I have often watched them more than once. And, my second viewing of your Summer Dresses video was every bit as enjoyable the second time, as it was the first, maybe even more. I just love each and every dress you made. The fabrics were lovely, the patterns chosen for each showed you and the fabric off to perfection. I think, perhaps, my favourite was the first dress. I agree, the colors and design in this fabric are just gorgeous. I loved the style and am just amazed how beautifully it fit with so few pieces and seams. The dress you made for Candace was very cute. I couldn't help but smile as you reenacted the conversation between the two of you. She is such a gracious person who would not dream of hurting her Mother's feelings and it was obvious she really was doing her best to love the dress. I think you made the best decisions for everyone concerned, and it is easy to imagine the lucky lady's face who discovers this dress and, when trying it on, is over the moon because she feels like it was made with her in mind. I know she will be saying aloud to a friend, "I just can't believe someone would donate this brand new, absolutely beautiful dress!" Thank you for continuing to share your sewing adventures. Great fun, wonderful advice, and fabulous clothes! 💖

Hi Viv, I really do love watching you show your makes. You are such a lovely person. And you cheer me up no end... keep sewing . Love you ...❤

Beautiful absolutely beautiful. U have such a lovely figure and the patterns you pick are always winners!!! Fits you to a T

WOW! I love all of the dresses! Great fabric with great patterns! Simple looks elevated to a whole other level! And you Vivmom look gorgeous in each one! My favorite is the peacock dress! Well done!

I love the peacock fabric so much! I love the length of it, too. I don't know when I woke up to a world where women, even young women (I'm not so much anymore), get upset over a skirt above the knee! It's more flattering on me anyway, so I do what calls me and wear bike shorts underneath ;) . They'll have to pry my mini skirts away from my cold, dead knees. Now I just wish I had your lovely, square shoulders so I didn't have to make so many adjustments. Thanks for the summer ideas!

I would have not even looked at a fabric pattern like the quilting cotton fabric, but Wow, the way you used it is beautiful!

That last dress on you Viv is fabulous. ✔️💐❤️

Congratulations Julie

I absolutely love every single look and you show them so well. I agree that the lace green ribbon in the front just adds such a nice famine and touch

Viv, such a sweet video. Loved it, the patterns and fabric choices 👌

Beeeutiful dresses! I really like them all….I usually don’t, but kudos! Tata, have a great weekend!

Congratulations, Julie Ann! Those are great fabrics. Viv, that 1st little shift dress is darling! I can see that in a LOT of different fabrics, how cute would it be in a border print? Get a nice mid weight black pointe knit and make the perfect one. It's just really great on you. I also liked the fit and flare dress. Crepes can be fussy sometimes and often the rippling seams have to do with the thread. Experiment with cotton covered poly, all poly, all cotton and rayon threads. I have better luck using rayon thread with crepe. The dress is perfect with your shoes...a really nice date night outfit. Why not make a skirt for Candace out of the dress? There should be plenty of fabric from the bodice to make a waistband. It would be such a cute summer skirt.

Lovely dresses! I especially liked your Butterick green and white dress, it’s superb. Much respect is due for sharing things that didn’t quite please you. Thank you for another inspirational post Viv.

Vivmom Vavoom! the last dress is a show stopper!

Each was cuter than the previous. Can they all be my favorite?

I'm like you with tracking down bargain fabric. It's built in to me.

All of your dresses look beautiful on you! You used such pretty fabrics!

I love that last dress it is stunnning! It’s a pity Candace’s dress didn’t fit, it is as you say adorable. I wish we were able to take advantage of the fabric mart fabrics. Fabric is much more expensive in NZ.

Dear Viv, as always, everything you made looks wonderful on you. A lot of wonderful colors for summer! Hope all is well. Blessings!

I have a question: do you know where I could find a really good swimsuit elastic? I need to repair a suit that the elastic has NOT held up. It needs to be about 1/2" to 1" wide. Thanks, in advance.

Congratulations, Julie!

I would never buy the butterick pattern for dress number two but I love it. Love the material, love everything about it and it looks really good on you to Viv Patten number three I had for a wedding in a dusky pink crêpe with deep Boudreaux shoes and bag - how I loved that dress to It was so comfortable but far to formal for day wear All the dresses in this collection are lovely Viv with beautiful choices of material Thank you as always for sharing

Everyone of those dresses were fabulous.

Wow, I love all these dresses... you definitely know what patterns, prints and material choices look so flattering on you. I wish you could find these dresses in stores for us non-sewers.

What beautiful dresses! Finally catching up watching your channel. Moving and downsizing big time! Selling my house, looking for a one level townhouse. Living with our daughter for now. Hubby’s metastasized prostate bone cancer extremely painful. Doing my best for him. Glad to watch your cheery episode. Thank you, just what I needed❣️

You always inspire! It's the best day ever to watch your channel! Loved "only people who sew would understand that". Priceless made me laugh! You and your family are so beautiful!

All cute dresses, although my favorite is the midi with the ruffles at the hem and drop down neckline for date or whatever. Loved the first one with the peacocks fabric. I probably would get in a big fight wearing that!!!

I love the last one you were wearing. It looks so sharp on you.

Each dress is extremely beautiful 😍 Fabric choices exquisite 👌

I love the yellow flowers one very much ! Well done!! xxx Cilou

I love all the dresses you made and they all look great on you!😁

Lovely dresses again and beautiful fabric…!! 🫶

Simplicity 8910. Is gorgeous on you!!! I don’t know why that just looking at that pattern I would have passed it by… But seeing it made up…it’s perfect. . So long story short, I went and found that pattern and ordered it this afternoon. (right after I watched your video)

I can't tell you how much I love those dresses you made. I love summer styles, and every one is impeccable!

Every one of these dresses are gorgeous! Watching your videos make me want to go cut something out and sew it up!

Love that peacock fabric!

Love all of the dresses. 😃I like color. Thanks for sharing.

Congratulations, Julie. I need more summer dresses. I am ALWAYS prepared for winter, and never ready for summer. These all look so wonderful. YAY, INVISIBLE ZIPPERS!!

Hi Viv! Great to see you! I just saw the same peacock print last weekend. My family owned 2 peacocks when I was a kid. Neighbors did NOT like prince and Mary Jane!

Oh that’s funny! We had a peacock, with his loooong feathers trailing, randomly walk through our backyard when I was a kid. My dad called the local animal lover to ask what to do and she explained carefully to get a pillowcase and gently place it over the peacock. Umm, what?! She thought he had said Parakeet!! It made for a funny story. Turned out the peacock had gotten away from a small farm of them nearby. Ah, memories. What interesting creatures they are!

Hello Viv The new look pattern for the simple shift dress I just picked up a VOGUE pattern that is exactly the same the yoke and bands at the bottom so simple cute easy summer dress I have just cut ✂️ it out so hopefully mine looks as great as yours Thank you for the great idea's and inspiration Happy sewing 👗 Take care and God bless you

That last dress,sew fun. Keep inspiring.

Love, love, love the black fabric. The colors look absolutely fabulous on you.

Congratulations to Julie Ann! Looking beautiful in your summer dresses, Viv-I love all of them!

Love all the dresses. your fabric choices should be on the pattern covers! it always amazes me how your fabrics just elevate the pattern !!! Especially love your last dress beautiful fabric

All the colourful big prints are stunning. I can't do an invisible zipper yet

love your pretty dresses! especially 6652, well, they are all so very nice! have a nice week :) (& yes, the zippers still scare me!)

Ali are lovely my faves the last two.

All desses look great and comfortable for summer and your fabrics shoices are so appropriate. Even though some patterns have panels it looks as if you took the time to match everything; I guess the fabrics helped. 🥰 them all!

I really liked your version of Simplicity 8910 as the pleats hanging from the empire line look so flattering. I’m having to disguise my tummy at the moment as it’s very swollen. I am trying to address this through a special diet but it’s not working at the moment. I like your videos because they are short and sweet. Many thanks. 😊

wow!!! gorgeous makes, Viv- thanks for sharing!

I adore the peacock fabric! And the green is so adorable.Your final dress is gorgeous.

Love your dresses. Especially the last one. So pretty!!

Beautiful makes Viv, as usual ✨⭐ Too bad about the dress you made Candace. You can tell that bodice was drafted wacky lol. It looks like a 10 on bottom and a 20 on top 😂

All of these dresses are beautiful and I love the last one that you modeled and your shoes are perfect!

You look beautiful in all of your new dresses, Viv! You’ve inspired me to sew Simplicity 8910... Yes, perfect for a hot summer day.. and thank you for tip about not trimming armholes!

Love all those dresses and you are slim so you look good in anything.😍

Hi. Adorable fabrics along w simple patterns. I love pockets. I love the colors. Thank you. Sometimes I forget to sew pockets.

I really liked 6619. When I’ve had enough fabric with large patterns like that I’ve matched the pattern and then added pockets directly to the front. Usually you can’t tell there’s any pockets there.

Beautiful dresses!!!! Thank you for sharing your makes with us!!

Congrats Julie Ann! Enjoy the fabric :) omg, that peacock fabric is splendid and the dress looks great on you. Vivmom, you make the prettiest garments...I so enjoy your videos...and I don't even sew (but I'd like to)...I am living vicariously through your sewing machine !! Hahaha :)

The peacock fabric is wonderful and you look great in that! I also think the second dress--ruffled hem--looks great. However, the last dress you wore was such a great profile on you and loved the light green background compliment to your skintone!! You really achieved a great fit, especially with the armhole princess seam. I have to convert those to shoulder. KUDOS!!

Lovely makes Viv, it’s so nice to see you back 😁 Your makes are beautiful as always, especially that last one you wore 🔥.
