Friday on Saturday ~ Want Some Fabric? *****GIVEAWAY NOW CLOSED*****

[@carolynpfiffner6683]

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.

[@julieannedearling3404]

The strupeqould make great cover-ups over swi wear, could see it on my grandchildren.

[@christineblair4078]

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

[@vivmomsews4962]

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.

[@carmeslynn]

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 KZbin last night for the 1st time covering the 1973 Vogue patternbook, a very good KZbin 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 KZbin evoked in me today. Thanks for the great commentary once again!!!!! Carrie from the San Francisco Bay Area 🤣🐓☕🧵🪡🧶

[@vicki9298]

Wow, I love that French terry!! I'll take it!

[@suek7086]

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.

[@rikkib7636]

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:) 🎂

[@shelleyross9400]

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

[@IntheOCBubble]

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!

[@lindafoxwell9518]

The 1963 magazine reminds me of Jackie Kennedy. Happy birthday

[@donnawhitenack2300]

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

[@teresaholland1943]

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

[@lindatucker1942]

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.

[@Sweetbikerblondie]

🎉 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!!!

[@susanakfogel8217]

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.

[@marta77inf]

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

[@goldieradziewicz7863]

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!’

[@AnitasDreams]

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

[@valg7453]

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 KZbin 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 ❤

[@vivmomsews4962]

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

[@cjhines726]

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!!

[@judyscicchitano7906]

Happy belated blessed birthday to you and your husband Viv 🎶🎈🎂🎈🎶 I love the fabric you showed to give away!

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!🕊🌷

[@vivmomsews4962]

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.

[@bettysprong9908]

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

[@trishsh5007]

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

[@a.guerra2139]

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).

[@susier7766]

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!!

[@pamelarivera5058]

Happy belated birthday Vivmom. My birthday is March 30 but I'm 13 years older. Thanks again. 😊

[@patriciacarter8204]

Hi Viv. I perk right up when I get notified of your videos. Was in Sinking Springs last Thursday. I mentioned you at Fabric Mart! I got some great fabric. My husband calls it my "bags of toys". Love that French Terry! Keep me in mind for that giveaway. Take care.

[@sueours8150]

Well, I did it. After finding you on KZbin and binge watching several videos I jumped in and using some yard sale fabric proceeded to make a dress. My first mistake was the pattern I picked. It was a high waist and it seems the girls have migrated south so they ended up well below the intended placement. Soooo disappointed. Hopefully my 40 something year old daughter will be able and willing to wear it. Licking my wounds and summoning courage to try again. Thanks for your inspiration.

[@vivmomsews4962]

@@sueours8150 Yes!! You did it!! It fell a little short of your vision, but that’s par for the course. You’ll do it again. Because that’s what we do. And the act of creating is worthy, good for the mind, good for the soul. Onward!💕

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.

[@vivmomsews4962]

Thanks for the push, Ernestine! I need to get crackin'!

[@annarademacher8359]

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!

[@louisejeffries7155]

Dont be afraid of the cover stitch machine I just got mine last week having spent so much on it I am determined to use it So far it’s been quite straight forward and really enjoyable I was like that about my sewing machine a few years back - to frightened to try. 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. No get the cover stitch out Viv take time you’ll enjoy it If you’re anything like me until you do it will hold you up with something you really enjoy - every other part of sewing. It’s lovely to see you back and hear your cheerful voice again You where missed

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎂 Had upper tooth pulled one space back from yours and yes had flipper. Waiting for bone to heal for implant. Three months later it’s implant day. Surgery revealed bone was soft as apple. Next took small bone from lower jaw & tried again. Nope. Ended up having to pull another tooth and have permanent bridge. Praying your heals perfectly! Love all the patterns.❤

Oh Joyce, that sounds terrible! I'm sorry for your woes. These teeth...Lord have mercy on us!!

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!

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.

[@vivmomsews4962]

I am so happy for you, Florence!! Yay for new & improved vision!!

Happy belated birthday. Life gets "special" sometimes. All we can do is keep swimming. Oh wow, nice score on those patterns..... and that French Terry. All my favorite colors.

[@lindadavis3728]

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.

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...

[@sharronwolfe7711]

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!!!

[@mliz]

Sharron and Viv - i also have that same tooth missing - Viv - ya gotta use that flipper to keep the space right - your teeth could shift. - mine do a bit but I got a "spider" - it's like the flipper but for permanent use and it has metal prongs that hold on to the tooth next door. it works well for me - i didn't want to get the implant. i also love the early sixties fashion and style . i'm just a few months older then you - happy birthday

[@vivmomsews4962]

@@mliz Thanks - and Sharron, thank you too! This isn't' my first "implant rodeo" but it IS my first flipper. Sheesh, whatever happened to a good old temporary crown? I'm in the clear from my surgeon to not wear it, and he's my ultimate favorite doctor. Seems rather insane to have a favorite dental surgeon, but Lord knows I'm no stranger to him (unfortunately.)
