1960’s & 1970’s Sewing Patterns😃

[@nancyharris4703]

Don’t let the uglies that live to make our lives miserable get you. You are wonderful, fabulous and could NEVER be mean spirited. I ❤️❤️❤️ your attitude and the way you present yourself. You are truly a blessing. Keep up the good work.

[@anneinstx1969]

Totally agree with Nancy above and others below. Can't imagine what triggered that 'mean-spirited comment. Enjoy watching you and your providing me with sewing inspiration and a fresh look at things.

[@vickifenlon6279]

I would never, in a million years, call you mean spirited!!❤️❤️

[@brendaalverson180]

You are in no way, shape or form a mean spirited person! Don't let them bother you! I love your videos. Never, ever leave us....We love your knowledge and Lovely Spirit!

[@rebawasswass3716]

Oh, for Heaven's sake! You are not mean-spirited! You are so sweet! I think you're a doll and I love your videos! You always put a smile on my face!

[@Cynthia2v]

Cowabunga, you hit the jackpot! I have to laugh over the size 14 or 12 with a 34 bust. A 14 today is 39 1/2 bust! Do you think Marlo Thomas EVER sewed a stitch in her life? Lol! You are NOT mean spirited! Got my wide leg pants made, ITY from Fabric Mart! Still trying to plan and sew throughout my chemo treatments! Keep it up, girl, you are what keeps some of us moving forward!

[@rn4and229]

So sorry someone would say that. Please don’t let the devil take your joy, you have lots of us out here that truly enjoy your videos. You inspire me for sure!

[@sarah52986]

With all these patterns you could only use 60s patterns for your makes for the month of September and call it 60s September! That would be an awesome video to watch for your September makes!

[@wendyhorsler8364]

Viv I look forward to your videos you have helped me get back into sewing. You are a bright light in this world so keep on shining 🙂💐

[@carolstjohn6306]

I was 16 in 1969 , and made all my clothes for high school...Love the patterns from the 60"s and 70"s. I love your channel, YOU are the best. Please ignore the idiots , and keep on sewing and sharing!

[@nancyoppegard6665]

OMG OMG OMG...the reason I can't wait to watch your NEXT video all the time is because of your wonderful SPIRIT !!! You always make me feel up and enthused and excited about sewing. PLEASE don't ever think about stopping...you're the 1st KZbinr I look for each day. What you are doing is perfect...showing us patterns, fabric and finished garments...plus letting us in on snippets of your life because we'd all love to know you. Your 60's patterns today brought back so many memories. I kept a few of mine, but wish I had all the prom dress ones. Thanks, VivMom, for giving us so much.

[@inthekitchen8842]

You are truly one of my fave peeps! Whoever said that is mean spirited and constipated!😉

[@ccpperrett7522]

In The Kitchen LOL!!!

[@marykayshatzer3044]

Whoever said you were mean spirited must not watch your videos. You are the happiest and most fun to watch. I always look forward to your videos. Keep making videos and don’t pay attention to the haters. ❤️

[@chelesjulian2340]

Why Were they watching Her in the 1st Place?? IF Whoever It Was Didnt LIKE or AGREE With Her Demeanor they could of simply Gone to Another You-Tube Channel. Jealousy and Envy Causes People to Try to Tear Down Others.

Praying for you,be encouraged,God has got you always,much love my friend

[@shariwitt1977]

You are totally sweet-spirited and you always make me smile! I look forward to every video you make!

[@artisticrabbitatease2806]

Me too!

[@kerryofarrell5028]

Totally agree..

[@doloresmorales1241]

DO NOT let these haters and bullies win. You are filled with joy, happiness and you have such a wonderful passion for sewing. Please don't stop making your videos you have such a great talent and I learn some much from you. Stand your ground , love will always triumph over hate. Bullies are dark, you are bright and beautiful. Stay Strong.

[@inthekitchen8842]

What a wonderful gift that lady gave to you! So precious! Keep making more vids! I love your teaching!!! We love you, Viv!

[@lulubell7057]

Vivmom you are never 'mean spirited'! The person who said that is. I look forward to your video's so much! And I am sewing more because of you after many years. Your always fun!!! Keep up the awesome videos!

[@crafts2935]

You have truly inspired me to watch your videos. You have a charisma, that keeps me coming back. I understand how "rude" comments can be stuck in your head for days. What I have discovered is that, a lot of the time, the person making "rude" comments is disturbed mentally and emotionally. They are striking out at anyone and anything because their life is not in order or not right. They have been hurt so badly they need help! Sometimes they're simply jealous. Keep making your videos and sharing. You have encouraged me to start sewing again. Thanks!!!

[@vikkizoo1]

Viv, just ignore those kind of people. They make negative comments to push people’s buttons. If someone doesn’t like you or your videos they don’t have to watch. The overwhelming majority think you are a wonderful person and they are who matter.

[@teresastevens2084]

Vivmom, thank you for sharing what one viewer said. Words can hurt, I know, but you must know that your subscribers (fans) love you and love your shining personality. Your enthusiasm for sewing, patterns, and fabrics is second to none, and honestly, I love how you just insert little things like, "Oh, my manicure is so chipped!" and that laught…, well, I think you are so genuine and sweet and you really do touch so many seamstresses in so many ways! I look forward to many more videos from you! Hugs! p.s. Your top looks fab on you!

[@kittygoding9251]

Oh my goodness! You? Mean spirited? That person is crazy! You are fun loving, kind, considerate, motivational and so much more! God has blessed you with an awesome gift...the ability to inspire others! Don't let the negative Nancys of the world impact you. You are a beautiful spirit! I have been on vacation for 3 weeks in Hawaii for my son's wedding and I had a wonderful time but I kept thinking about the sewing projects I had waiting for me at home. And this focus and motivation is inspired by YOU! I look forward to your posts so much! Please don't stop! God bless you for all you do for all of us...your loyal followers!👍♥️🤗

[@celinereid9136]

Hi Viv, I so look forward to your videos. There are always horrible, jealous, dreadful people in the world who think they have the right to mess with other peoples lives. You have a lovely husband, great children and you have a wonderful gift for sewing. You bring so much inspiration, joy and fun to all of us who wait patiently for your videos. I have started sewing again, after 20 years, and am thoroughly enjoying it. That is due to you and your wonderful creations. Don't let the nasty people in the world win. You keep doing what you want and f*** the begrudgers, as we say in Ireland. Thank you again

[@gaynorturner5370]

What a lovely lady Helen is :-) Viv you are my favourite vlogger. The more people find you and love your channel like me the haters are gonna hate no matter what you do. Please keep posting your funny, informative and inspiring posts

[@marilyn1289]

I love watching you!!! Forget about the mean comment, they are the mean ones not you. They haven't been watching you. I am a quilter and I got back into sewing clothes because of you. Thanks so much!!!

[@mlynncannon4188]

MEAN SPIRITED- were the hallucinating?? Keep it up - love your fabric and your pattern hauls.

[@602redroses]

Please continue to make videos. You are never mean spirited! You have encouraged me to sew again. Love the old vintage patterns that she sent to you.

[@kimora337]

You have never said anything mean spirited.. people are just crazy! Keep making videos..I watch them while I'm sewing.. you are such an inspiration!

[@kathilapp1595]

You differently are NOT mean spirited, you have totally inspired me to sew clothing again!!! Your videos are fun to watch, you are gorgeous, and that person is a very sad one! Keep up the good work, you are amazing! Have a great day sewing!

[@darlenepeay7200]

I cannot imagine someone suggesting you are mean spirited. I look forward every morning getting my coffee and watching your videos. I had not sewn garments in years but you have given me confidence to dust off my sewing machine and get started. Thank you for your beautiful smile and sharing with us your enthusiasm for the art of garment sewing.

[@sozofam2164]

She’s correct, it IS them and not you. But a bully’s actions are meant to beat you down, because they’re so low they want to bring happy people down to their level...of course you know this. But if someone punches you, you bear the marks for a while, and it hurts for awhile.Yep... plenty of jealous nasties out there. Punch back with your smile and the ‘sunshine’ that comes from your personality, that will fix them....hopefully you have deleted their trash if you are able. How sweet of your viewer to send you her patterns. Brings back many memories! We love your videos, sweet lady. You are courageous and kind. Hope you threw the ‘trash’ out quickly and that their smell 😷 doesn’t linger long. I can’t send you patterns, but I’ll send you a story!😂 Never know what emojis you get, so the above emoji is a mask...😉

[@smallfootprint2961]

Block the trolls!!!!! We love you. Thanks for showing these great patters. So nice of Helen to share them with you. All the best to her. You're a peach!

[@Lafortuneist]

I can not believe someone calling you mean spirited. it is so relaxing seeing you on screen. every time I see you, you make my day.

[@RobertaSharpe]

Please don't let the "trolls' chase you away. How can we encourage you and make you accountable if you give in to their negativity??? You are a very positive influence to so many who are working on expressing themselves through fabric. Be strong , we are All here rooting for you!!!!!

[@TheJudeJane]

I enjoyed this video so much, Viv!! You have such a fab collection of 60's-70's Mod styles to choose from. It was so nice of your viewer to share her patterns with you. You are such a delight! 😊👑I always look forward to new vids and tutorials from you!! You really rock my world!👍🏽🎸‼️👗👚

[@lizzymurray6590]

How in God's name could anyone ever even contemplate YOU as mean spirited ???? My darling lady please do not let horrid people bring you down. You bring so much joy to so many. Please keep going. If even just in spite of these cretins. You get up and dust yourself down girl ! You get shit on your shoe, you scrape it off and keep on walking !!!!! Sending heartfelt love and strength ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

How could anybody say that you are mean spirited!!!! I love you so much!!! You are a delight and inspiration. Remember you have thousands and thousands who adore you one person well what can I say. Let it go Let it go da da da dada da da xoxoxo

[@bridgettewhitebread1972]

You are the BEST! Such an inspiration to all is us home sewers. Don’t listen to the haters. Keep making your videos - I so look forward to them! I was married in 1979 in Quiana! And those stockings! What a hoot! Love you Viv!!! 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@kimwatts5750]

Hi Viv, Ignore that silly comment. We love watching your videos and your new makes:) You are so inspirational, your the one that keeps us going❤️ Really look forward to seeing your new projects:) Thank you for sharing your new patterns😀 KimX🌸

[@willowhilldesigns7]

I can understand how that comment would make you sad, Viv. I’m sure making these videos requires effort and time on your part. Don’t give it another thought; you’re appreciated here by all of us who enjoy what you share! I find it sad that people feel they should leave hurtful comments. That’s not what the comment section is for! Maybe it’s time this person finds someone else to follow...... Becca

[@anitajonsson4379]

Vivian, I feel so very sad that someone out there told you that you were "mean spirited." I think that person was "projecting" her personality onto you. I have watched every video you have made and in, literally, every single one you are so gracious, kind, humble, fun, genuine, and delightful! Please do not let that person's words have the right to touch your heart. She is flat out wrong. Feel sorry for her, if you have to think of her at all. But, definitely delete her comments and then reread a few of your most favourites. Those are the people who have their hearts in the right place and their thinking caps glued on straight! We love your channel ❤

[@vivmomsews4962]

What a sweet note, Anita, thank you!! I’ve grown a thicker skin throughout this KZbin adventure and the kind, WONDERFUL people far outweigh some sour grapes, for sure. So that is very gratifying and I am so humbled when people write things like you’ve written here - it is so generous and heartfelt. Consider my day (week/month) made, because of you!💕

[@jaynewyatt7631]

Vivmom, you are so great, please do not stop making videos, because of you l got on my sewing machine and made some clothes for the first time and now I’m wearing them. My mum likes you too! Xx

[@jgslnc33]

I was watching this episode on our tv. When you said you received a comment about being mean spirited; i had to find this episode on my phone so i could comment. NO WAY!!! You're so much fun to spend time with via YT. You seem very honest about your sewing experiences. But that's not mean spirited! You aren't mean about other people! I think that person just wanted to kick someone that day. Sadly you were the victim of their mean-spiritedness. Try to balance that out with all the lovely comments that you get. Ps. Now i've seen episodes with your sisters& Your husband & 2 of your children. Youre a very loving family!. So sweet that they participate with your projects. Thank for your charming personality& your inspirations. I love to repeatedly watch you show your patterns- especially the vintage ones. Its like thumbing though a counter book!

[@vivmomsews4962]

Aww heck, thanks J M! You’re a dear. It was so nice to read this today.💕

[@christinemurray5975]

You are so sweet and happy in every video. I admire all that you sew. Stay strong.

[@jackieblakemore56]

Wow,, you’re not mean spirited in any way!! However, there are some very mean spirited people in this world and this person is one of them! You brighten my day and I always look forward to your vlogs Full of kindness and inspiration. Don’t you dare stop, lovely lady. Xxx

[@LAwigTalk]

Vogue priced at $1.50 takes me back too! Love the patterns

[@aahart9651]

Goodness gracious, you are in NO WAY mean spirited. I am a recently retired jh schoolteacher of 35 years. I had lost my focus in life and was drifting without direction. You saved my sanity. I have refound sewing and enjoy getting up each morning to work on my many projects. You have totally taught me to look at patterns differently. I made a couple of tops you showed in previous videos and love them. You can’t stop now, i still have much more to learn. Thank you for sharing what you do.

[@rybb551]

I watch you because you are positive, knowledgeable and fun! Please keep sharing your life with the world.

[@kararhodes6682]

Nooo, don’t stop. I was looking forward to this video as someone gave mean a bunch of 60s, 70s, 80s, and some 50s patterns and was hoping I could learn how to modify the old instructions with you.

[@jackiewaters7759]

My name is Jackie Waters .i live in Georgia ......please do not let people destroy your lovey personality.....your always going to have people who make negative comments ..... just be your lovey happy self and all I see is you LOVE to sew and you love your family .....what a blessed person u r to be so blessed and to be so happy ...and I have. To admit I can’t wait to watch you every night when I get home from work .....I’ve been sewing a lot ....you’ve inspired a lot of people ...

[@m.fernandez6603]

Viv...please, please please do not listen to anyone negative. You have quickly (very quickly!) become my favorite you tuber. I wish you posted every day! Watching you made me start sewing again! And while I sew, I just let your videos run in the background on my iPad. You are sweet, funny, kind, we have so many interests in common (60’s!!!)and I know I speak for the very vast majority of your subscribers...YOU WOULD BE MISSED!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@vintagehomecandy9416]

Most criticism is usually nothing more than verbalized envy!! Haters are just misguided fans. They are watching you because you’re beautiful inside and out! They just wish they were you!! ❤️ Love your spirit! Keep being you- you do it so well!! 🥰

[@lynnr9294]

Yes, more videos you are great, ignore the haters....stay positive ... you are such a wonderful seamstress and I'm learning so much from you.

[@texasproud8822]

Ignore them. Online people hide as they are chicken. You inspire me to sew when I get home from my golf trip.

[@fionamcdonald4130]

Viv, you are the antithesis of mean-spirited! You inspire me to find joy in my sewing, especially when I’m struggling to do so. You are kind, warm, generous - and the honesty with which you present your videos is refreshing and authentic. Please continue to make your videos - they bring joy to so many! ♥️♥️♥️

[@donnazavitz1095]

You are such a kind, thoughtful, nice person Viv. Don't believe every negative comment. (I know you know that) Keep up the great work...you keep me inspired by the love of sewing! Love all the vintage patterns. :0)

Delete mean spirited posts! They do nothing to inspire and build up the sewing enthusiasts of this community. You inspire, motivate, and empower - that's why we come to this channel. Thank you so much for sharing the joy of sewing with all of us. Thank you also to Helen for sharing those great patterns with you/us too!

[@deonuacid]

You have been my sewing inspiration, I love your channel. Don't let people's jealousy zap your beautiful spirit. Keep giving us the gift of creativity that God showers you with. Sending you my love!

[@Healthycook0001]

I look forward to watching your videos and you’ve brought back my interest in sewing! I couldn’t imagine you not being your creative, zippy, truth-telling self! If you’ve struck a nerve with someone in a negative way that’s a good thing! While we want everyone to have a happy happy joy joy spirit some people would rather be instigators. Sorry....... not here! A lot of us watching look forward to your next sewing project, shopping or modeling video! Keep your chin up and sew-on! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 you’re getting the attention💕💐

[@nikkijohnson2832]

YOU ARE NEVER MEAN SPIRITED! Incredible anyone would infer that! Your enthusiasm is infectious and brings me back to sewing again after several years dormancy! Wish I had kept my 1960s patterns! Thank you for sharing! You are so natural that I'd feel comfortable meeting you one day at Hobby Lobby or Joann stores! What a charming personality for videos! You have a great following. Ignore the grumpy folks!

[@tammybrooks7528]

I finally figured it out. You remind me of Ann Margaret. ❤️

[@patriciasmith9039]

There’s absolutely nothing mean spirited about you. Your accuser is probably just jealous of your fabulous personality, your beauty, your talent, your lovely supportive family and your obvious goodness. Just the enemy trying to bring you down; we all know he won’t succeed. You’re an inspiration to many, many people, I being one. I haven’t sewn seriously in years, but am actually in the process of making a batik bathrobe now and am finding myself digging through my boxes of patterns and getting ready to retrieve my fabric from my storage facility. Look out sewing world, here I come! (Thanks to YOU).

[@angelagreen4751]

Hey Viv please don't stop making your videos you are the one who inspired me to start sewing again. You are so kind, funny and sincere, so please ignore that person that was negative as you don't need them in your life.

[@brendagoodale604]

You're the Best and I absolutely get more and more enjoyment from you're videos each time I watch them. I catch myself looking for you're newest releases and get disappointed when I don't find one, however my Vivmom saved videos are always on standby. I can watch you and be encouraged to be more productive with my own sewing. Thank you for being you, you're real and that is a Blessed quality God has given you, love to watch you. Keep entertaining us with those fabric hauls, sewing challenges, husband' and you're children clothing makes coming, we love you.😇☺

[@TheJudeJane]

You are NOT mean-spirited!!! If anyone is mean-spirited it is the person who made such a nasty, untruthful remark. Don't waste your time doting on such vile negativity. We LO💖E you!!!!! I am in the process of making a blouse I made a pattern for, but I had to put my sewing machine and serger to bed for five days of intense heat as there is no air conditioning on the second floor of my house!! It was a sweat box up here until the heat index dropped from 113 degrees to a refreshing 72 after the thunderstorms came and brought the temp down. I hope you have a great remainder of the week. I love, love, LO💖E your videos!!! You are my FAVORITE!!!!!❤️

[@melanied6777]

Still enjoying your retro videos! You have a sweet delightful spirit. It appears there is no room for any other type of spirit.

[@teriaugustine6464]

Mean spirited is a term I would never use to describe you. You are so happy and energetic. The person who said it was probably reflecting a bad day on to you, don't give it another thought.

[@kristieroberts3578]

My goodness! What have you ever said that was mean spirited? I can't even imagine... don't you dare stop treating us to your videos. You have completely re-energized my sewing life and I am loving every minute! BTW- the jeans I was terrified to make? DONE! The marble dress that had been cut out and sitting on the cutting board for weeks? Wearing it today. So thanks again for the last video and the motivational words. Can't wait to see your newest makes!!!

[@annedawahare9243]

I find your channel uplifting and I return to your channel cause you make me smile! I am always astonished at the way people drag down the brave souls like yourself who share personal sewing plans both successful and not. I could never share my makes because the negative feedback would take away the joy I look for in my sewing. Again hats off to you for being so open with our sewing community despite the negative commenters.

[@susanashworth7568]

Oh Vivmom. You have GOT to stop paying attention to people who don’t get you. They need to move on. They need to watch someone else. The rest of us - 17,000 now - need you! Please keep the videos coming.

[@suedavies1508]

Oh my goodness, I was so shocked to hear that someone has called you mean spirited - I don't know why people say such horrid thing, it's definitely not the way I see you. I love your videos and you always make me feel so uplifted when I watch you - your enthusiasm and zest for life really comes across. Many of the patterns I have purchased are as a result of seeing them modelled by you. You inspire me to carry on sewing and to try new items of clothes and different styles. Please don't give up doing your videos - it would be a great loss to the sewing community and make the world a much greyer place.

[@shirleytaylor7680]

What?! You're the sweetest personality on You Tube!! Really!! ❤🙂

[@debe8890]

OMG. I just finished this video, (I have to stop and write my comments as I go or I forget them) Mean-spirited???? Did I miss a video of yours somewhere.??? I would never in a million years use that word to describe you! KZbin is my evening relaxing medium and I always check to see if you posted before anyone else. I think because you seem natural, like you would be the gal next door. After I watch you I feel like I could meet you for coffee and you would never judge me :), we would just compare our manicures!! A lot of people on video portray themselves as having no flaws and that sometimes make me feel like I am flawed. Keep them coming please!

[@robbinae]

I agree with Deb. I wish you could by my neighbor and we could have some sewing parties and make pretty dresses and then eat ice cream!!

[@cathleenolson3699]

I have loved your videos and they helped send me back to sewing after a more than 10 yr hiatus. So please, don't stop. I love the pattern hauls and the fabric haul videos. Gives me lots of ideas. I appreciate that you were a stay at home mom (as was I) and that you are always cheerful. Please don't let ONE naysayer make you question your purpose or your positive influence.

[@gemmasremchevich6719]

Great patterns there Viv. For goodness sake, you are NOT mean spirited in any shape or form. Please continue making your fun and inspiring videos. You are a blessing to us all. Thank you for continually motivating me and many others I am sure. Xox

[@nevilgrubb]

Mean spirited???????? No way!!! Wow that person needs some love!

[@susanmcallister8068]

Like so many I'm saying...Mean spirited???? You know sometimes it's the unhappy person who says a happy person is mean. Sad, go figure. I, like so many, enjoy your video's and can't wait for the next one.😁 I must confess, it is hard to sew in the summer months. Being outdoors, people visiting and all. I made the shorts! Love them. The top is next. Love the vintage patterns! And the prices!😂 They gave you more for less back then. The pattern you had 2 of looked similar to my wedding dress in the 70s. Came across an old pattern the other day that I had completely forgot about and thought it was gone to pattern heaven. A pattern for a toddler, girls, for my daughter. I have the picture hanging with her wearing that outfit. Maybe I'll frame it and place by the picture!😂 Oh well, enjoy your humid summer (same here in TN), and happy sewing!!❤

[@Lizzysrose]

I usually watch KZbin on my TV and therefore, I don't catch any comments. However, I'm so sad to see that people would be so unpleasant to you and your channels. I would say, if I had to choose, that you are my favorite sewing channel. (And sewing channels are my favorite things to watch.) I love watching the different things you buy and make. I especially enjoy the videos where you are able to show some of your family makes. I love your upbeat attitude and I love the way you smile when do your strut or catwalk videos. I think those boring fashion shows could take a note from you and learn how to smile and laugh. Thanks for giving inspiration to the rest of us. Forget about these mean spirited people. I think you should have some fun, ignore them, and go to the library again.LIZ

[@carmelinabalchin9570]

Oh Viv that hurt my heart that someone bought your beautiful spirit down. I'm glad that you are going to keep making these fantastic clothes. Thank you. I appreciate watching you and seeing all your fabrics, and where you got them from etc. Please please when someone says something that knocks you for six...... You just think of all the thousand good comments you get. Compared to the few hard hitting ones.... Well the good ones always out way the ikky ones. Think.... They don't know me They just want to leave a message like that... But you know how you are and the ikky comments, well they are talking about themselves Please always concentrate on the good ones or good constructive advice I wanted to get through my.

Please don't let a negative comment ruin it for all of us who enjoy and look forward to your videos. You have inspired me to get back into garment sewing after many years of only quilting.

You are my very favorite vlogger! You bring happiness to my day and and 1960's sewing patterns to my shopping cart! Please stay!

Thanks for sharing! My 14 year old niece is so into these styles. I am so happy to have a person in USA sewing clothing.

Vivmom, there are way too many unhappy people who use public forums to hurt with words. Pay no attention! You are a breath of fresh air! Stay focused and true to who you are. A bit about me, I also learned to sew from my mom at age 8, since then I have taken professional classes, therefore, I do not need to learn as I sew couture. But, I put your videos and Joy Bernhart’s on my sewing room to keep me company as I sew. You and Joy give me happiness while I work on my sewing. Keep on posting videos and God Bless you and yours.

I think it’s ironic that someone who has never met you in real life feels “qualified” to judge you. You know? That says a lot about who they are.

Great 60s & 70s patterns and such a thoughtful gift from Helen! Can't imagine how anyone could call you mean spirited??? Please don't give that one person a second thought-16,999 of us think you're a joy to watch.

Oh dear Viv you are warm, welcoming, authentic, beautiful, generous, inspiring, up beat, creative, generous talented lady and don’t you forget it. One day after I’d been on the receiving end of someone’s tongue, my husband said to me......”So that was one persons opinion of you, one day in their entire life. Why are you letting it upset you? I’ve known you X amount of years and I can tell you, I don’t recognize the person they are talking about.” 😘😘😘

You never once come across mean spirited .. don't let one person ruin your fun or spoil your day . You bring joy and inspiration to those with a common interest to yourself . Blank,block and bolt the door to those who come to bring you down .😁 Unwards and upwards missus 😁💚🇮🇪💚x

I agree with everyone! You are the LAST person who could be characterized as "mean spirited" ! Look forward to seeing your lovely and funny personality and quirky / lovely takes on patterns---- You seem like a very nice person :-) -- Catherine

Loved this video. Thank you Helen for gifting the patterns to Viv. Enjoyed looked at them, and seeing some of the ones I owned myself back in the day, when I was making my own clothes to wear to high school. They did away with the mandatory uniform and I went mad sewing up new styles. Viv - please don't take the nasty comments some people feel compelled to make. They are just having a bad day and for some reason are taking it out on You Tube creators. You see it on many channels.
