Sisters & Sewing😃

[@anitajonsson4379]

Vivian, watching you and your sisters visit has been a total pleasure. I found myself laughing along with you three, truly enjoying every moment of your company.

[@map2932]

Entertaining video. Thanks! My mom often sewed all night. I would wake to see a new dress hanging in my room ready for me to wear. She made beautiful clothes for both of us and sport coats for my tall skinny brother. Everything fit like a dream and felt great because she used the best fabrics available. She always had an amazing fabric stash. My dad said all her sewing never saved him a penny but we always were well dressed!

[@bridgeth6864]

OMG! What fun I had laughing with these sisters. 🤣🤣🤣

[@juliannearlene7244]

That was so fun ! Reminds me of time spent with my three sisters. Lucky for me they all live nearby. Thanks Viv !

[@deechild4713]

What a beautiful group of women who obviously love each other and truly enjoy spending time together! And they are sisters!!! Thanks for the joy 🩷🩷🩷

[@maryellendunn8899]

I Loved the girl talk..............the funeral dress, homemade Barbie clothes and remember the slip episode. Thanks for the memories!

[@TodayinJensSewingRoom]

What a treat! "Lord, help the mister who comes between me and my sister . . . " My girls are the same way - great friends! Slips, the PennySaver, what fun.

[@vivmomsews4962]

Hey, I’m sending you something. Are you back from your travels?

[@TodayinJensSewingRoom]

@@vivmomsews4962 What! Ugh, I am such a terrible gift-getter. But yes, I'm back - and help me Lord to be gracious and loving - especially since I was just with the entire extended family 😂😂😂 Thank you so much! You are too generous!

[@vivmomsews4962]

@@TodayinJensSewingRoom Oh it’s very small, no biggie. I hear you on family. My uncle painted one of the best sayings that I’ve ever read: “Peace, peace, perfect peace, and loved ones far away.”🤣🤣

[@candylancaster]

Your sisters are hysterical! I loved the stories about making the tennis outfit, the slip falling down, and hemming the daughter's trench coat!!!! I laughed so hard!😂😂😂

[@c.ranger4748]

What a treat this video is. You all are beautiful ladies. I am the oldest of four girls born to my parents. There's nothing like a sister. Thanks for sharing.

[@brendastevens7339]

This reminds me of me and my sisters........my oldest sister Kathy...passed away March 2019.....but she could make anything! And she did ! Truly amazing! Me....middle sister....dressmaker......Pam. Younger sister....the quilter! Mother never sewed anything! Grandmothers were sewers !

[@katnuccio85]

Dorcas is a woman from the Bible. This was so wonderful!

[@pammusick2264]

So much fun! Great to meet your sisters and hear about their differences with sewing. My sister and I are as difference but we always enjoy great stories. So much fun much fun seeing you all together - Thank you -❤️!

[@jakyuuy]

This conversation is so heartwarming. People that love making things for the sake of someone else’s enjoyment.🥰

[@zabnol]

So nice to meet your sisters! Their wit and sense of humour brought a smile to my face this morning and I am grateful for this. Thank you for “sharing” them with us! I love your podcasts. Please keep them coming.

[@EbWhit91]

If there's anything better than Vivmom, it's Anne, Carol and Vivmom. I enjoyed this immensely--Thanks for the laughs!

[@fayelengenfelder2600]

On our fourth anniversary, my husband gave me a used Singer sewing machine. I was thrilled.. only thing was, he was so enthralled with it, and the attachments that came with , that I had to wait several weeks to use it for the first time because he made our son lined jeans and me a dress! We've been married sixty-three years now, and still have that machine. Its gear driven and has sewn through many canvas covers for our boat, and leather belt repairs. Wouldn't give it up for anything..or him!! Thank you for the laughs this morning and fond memories.

[@surban2005]

I was feeling a little down when I turned this on, now I have laughed and laughed! I can certainly see that the humor runs in the family! Carol's slip experience had me rolling! They are both so sweet and funny!

[@adamina70]

I, too, enjoyed this video immensely! What a hoot! I am #11 of 12 kids, 10 girls and two boys. I’m the baby girl and we were referred to as “the first half and the second half”. Some of us sewed (getting too old now) and I still do. Guess being at the bottom has it’s advantages! I’m a night owl, too, Viv and Collin, we should FaceTime!!!! 😃

[@sararalston306]

You three were nice to see I'm the oldest of three and my sister and I talk and laugh like that but I've not seen or been together since mom's death I grew up with a needle in my hand I got to see and use a sewing machine in seventh or eighth grade I made rag dolls and altered clothes for my sister a d brother but I made things for my children

[@dianejohanson98]

Well, that was a hoot! Getting to “visit” with your sisters and you. Y’all were having such fun reminiscing. I laughed with you. I have only one sibling, a sister, 2-1/2 years younger, whom I don’t get to see very often as we live pretty far from each other. We do text each other and she called last night and we talked for over an hour. Y’all bring back memories for me too because my Mom sewed quilts and Barbie clothes for us too. She taught me to sew my first quilt and got me hooked on sewing. It was so sweet that you sew for your sisters. I made my sister’s white satin, velvet and lace wedding gown for her wedding as well as my long halter gown and jacket I wore to the wedding. I had forgotten about that til now. Thank you.❤️

[@susanakfogel8217]

So wonderful that your sisters live nearby and that they are healthy and you sew for them. My older sister died on January 5 after 31 days on a ventilator. She taught me to sew, and we shared sewing stories and projects. She did not live nearby. Enjoy those sisters.

[@vivmomsews4962]

I’m so sad to hear that, Susan. Sending love and prayers.

[@pattybunch5738]

I don’t know when I enjoyed anything so much! I have 3 sisters too! My oldest sister is in Heaven and we miss her terribly. She & I sewed and the two middle ones doesn’t. We are the best of friends just like you & yours. Your channel has really been a blessing to me. Thanks for taking the time to do this.

[@sandranielsen4951]

I always love watching Viv no matter what’s she’s talking about, but this video is priceless! So much fun listening to you beautiful, funny ladies!

[@deborahmurray7023]

Loved you and your sisters talking and sharing the past.I didn't have a sister. My Mom who is 95 ,when I was younger we would sew together.sweet memories.

[@jolynnwhite7946]

Nothing better than family hey memories bring joy 🏳️‍🌈👌🏾🌷🧕🏿😍💕🦹🏾‍♂️😇

[@JayneMosier]

I come from a family of four girls and I am the youngest, no brothers. My dad’s saying when he would introduce one of us when we were adults was “GOT THREE MORE JUST LIKE HER”. He also had a number for each of us, me being #4. We are now 79, 76, 69, 66. And still have a great time together. Thanks for sharing your sisters!

[@carmensalome]

I was invited to join a Dorcus group here. They are a sewing ministry sewing children's clothing and send the clothes to children in several countries. My understanding is Dorcus was a woman in the Bible who sewed/created garments for the poor. That was fun. Sisters are great. There are four of us in my family too and 4 brothers. Eight of us total and mom made our matching shorts and tank tops on her singer sewing machine 😊✂️

[@howardgoldstein867]

what fun...speaking of our early machines, I got my first machine in 1960, which my parents paid for & I paid them back by doing alterations..I kept a journal until it was paid for...I was 15 & learned to sew by reading the pattern instructions...later I went to Fashion Institute & was a tailoring major..have been sewing ever since..my favorite past time....

[@rsanchez7663]

You ladies are TOO a funny! Made me laugh, so funny!!! 😂

[@katielulu18]

I loved hearing your family memories! I was born in the 70's and ny grandma made all sorts of things, sewn items, ceramics, and more. She made me a box of Barbie clothes that was the coolest thing ever. I have all of her Barbie patterns too! Thanks for sharing, ladies!!

[@krisl.4200]

Love your sisters - felt like we were all sitting around your living room, chatting and laughing ! Thanks so much for sharing your family with us, Viv!

[@loisgrady9034]

I laughed out loud at this video. I was also blessed with 4 sisters.

[@Frugalisama]

Oh this was joyful to watch Viv, thank you for letting us meet your lovely sisters 🤗

[@annakraft4850]

I am still sewing with the Singer Slant-O-matic 403 I bought in 1959. I just had it cleaned and checked out. I was told it should last another 60+ years! It has produced everything from baby clothes to bridesmaids' dresses to Covid masks. I really enjoyed this sister video and all your videos. Happy sewing!

[@kscheuerman5378]

Viv, so sorry I was late to the party. I just knew I would love to see your sister's, they are so much fun. It must be so great to have them. I appreciate the concept because I only have two brother's. They are brother's & they are great, but I can imagine there are no substitutes for sister's. Of course, since I was born in Dec of 61, I fit into the same timeframe!! I loved it ladies & I hope you do it again, soon! Thanks for the fun!! I Loved seeing them wearing their tops, too. God Bless you all.

[@DianeBianchi_MnWx]

During the video all I could think of was the song "Sisters" sung by Rosemary Clooney and Vera Ellen in White Christmas! Thanks for the laughs ladies!

[@karendixon401]

I wanted to add separately from my dropped slip story that Dorcas whom your mom referred to in the New Testament was a much appreciated seamstress... That when she died suddenly.. and Peter happened to be in town.. they sent for him to pray for her and she was raised from the dead..🙏 All because they were unwilling to let her go due to her valuable sewing gifts!!!💕😄 Enjoyed your sharing! P. S. Dorcas is the Greek translation for Tabitha in Aramaic.. Meaning is gazelle! You certainly sew with the speed of a gazelle!🦌 👍😃

[@sueroth6027]

I loved, loved, loved this video! I do not have a sister. What a treasure you have with your relationships. Thanks for sharing with your viewers.

[@karen2015]

Thank you for reminding me how much I love my sisters.

[@feliciajones3394]

I have been in my bed watching this video and laughing my head off I love you girls

[@karenlewis5394]

Wonderful to see your sisters and listening to you all laughing

[@kathyreed4488]

I have 4 sisters...I'm a Kathy too. I guilt also. You all made me laugh...sounds like my momma who sewed everything. My mom did make all weddings gowns for the 5 of us girls. She could do anything.!!!! Supermom w 8 kids...I also have 3 brothers....made their shirts...coats and all of us girls clothes. Thanks for sharing a fun time w you three!!

[@vanessajones3508]

My mother also sewed in the basement. She sewed the majority of my clothes and her clothes. She made coats. I get my love of sewing from my mother.

[@Silver_Threads_Sewing]

I love your sisters! Oh my word.... they are so hilarious and beautiful...just like you Vivmom. I have an insulin pump too... when I heard Anne’s chime... I thought it was mine. 💜😊 I really loved this visit so much.

[@susanstancliff2937]

Thank you!I really enjoyed all of you and your stories! You were having a great time and so were we!

[@leeannwicker937]

My mom used to make most of my sister and my clothing and was an expert seam tress. I started sewing around age 12 for 4-H on a Minnesota treadle machine that had belonged to my great-grandmother. I've never stopped sewing since. In the 1960's I had a neighbor who was trained in tailoring who taught me a lot of new techniques. Now days there is so much excellent information on sewing V-logs and I have several that I follow regularly including yours. Every once in awhile one of your vintage patterns is one I sewed when the pattern was new!

[@vivmomsews4962]

Get this, LeeAnn! Our “maiden name” was Wickert. So close to yours! Thanks for writing, and keep up the great sewing!

[@karenfoxworth]

What a delightful video with your sisters, Viv! You apparently enjoy getting together and hanging out. Thanks for appearing as “guests”. It was fun meeting you. Enjoy Viv’s videos. Keep them coming!🤗☺️

[@trinitysweet1]

Great stories. I just dissolved in laughter.😂

Loved this video! Several funny comments made me LOL literally! Thank you for sharing your warm, funny, loving family!

[@tracylamb903]

I have 3 sisters also. My Mom sewed everything. All our wedding and bridesmaids dresses. I received my first real sewing machine when I was 11. I’m daughter number 3. We were 1957, 59, 61, and 63. 2 of sew and 2 don’t. Favorite memory is Mom sewing a cover for a school bus. That’s right a school bus in 1979. Love your channel.

[@kathleenmacdonald5511]

I wish you weren't so hard on yourself. You are gorgeous and no one but you notices any "flaws". We all want to be just like you. You are very stylish and look great in all your fashions.

[@terryash3303]

Lin here. I am quite jealous of your lovely sisters (I always wanted a sister and you have 3) how lucky you are ! You all get on so well. I have really enjoyed listening to you all reminise about your sewing days lol 😂. Thank you so much 😊 and you are very generous to have sewn all those lovely things for your sisters. 👍

[@sozofam2164]

You ladies are a ton of fun! What a blessing to have all four sisters within a so-called shouting distance. Thank you so much to your sisters for joining in today, it was a real pleasure - and we look forward to some day meeting the first-born. Now Viv - that beautiful neck! I know when you reviewed this video you caught yourself exclaiming to Anne, “Whyyyy are we so hard on ourselves?!” and then dissing your neck. Yep! We heard that. I felt the tremors move through the ‘WE WANT TO BE LIKE VIV CLUB’ - I hope they’re all ok and not running out for tuck up job. SPEND the money on fabric - much less pain. My younger sister had a nose job when she was younger! Now girls change their noses with makeup. From personal experience... just prop a card up over the monitor so you can’t see yourself, right girls? ‘Nother great video! Thanks for the memories, girls! Blessings, Nancy🌺

[@annebraley5016]

What a delight! I laughed hearing all your stories! Thank you for inviting your sisters. I enjoyed it immensely!

How lovely to meet your sisters Viv, all beautiful ladies together, I bet when the four of you get together you have a good old time 😄 what a great Sister you are too for sewing for the others. Fabulous video thank you Ladies.x

[@LibAlcock]

❤ thanks for a great video! Super helpful. I’ve cut a simple top (very similar color woven fabric). Free PDF pattern (no neck band piece, just front and back pieces cut on fold. Plan to attach store bought bias binding to the neck. Plan to add 4 rows of shirring to each sleeve. As a beginner I bought cheap deadstock fabric. Just tryjng techniques, sewing slowly. Having fun. If it’s good enough to wear, bonus!!! ❤ 🇨🇦

[@cdustin1161]

It was a fun video with your sisters. It felt like the viewer was right there sitting with the ladies. Fun conversations too! Dorcas society ladies are part of our family too. Funny, they would talk about DORCAS almost as though it was another person in their group at times and sometimes we would get caught up in their dramas over their community plights to doing things for others even to the point of getting ourselves volunteered for activities by our family members. So funny!

[@melissapowers8749]

Oh my goodness, I laughed and laughed along with you all so much my hubby wanted to know what I was watching. 😂

[@celarasmith8030]

I'm so glad Carol and Ann got to be on at last. You have very sweet sisters, we can all tell. How lucky you are. Viv, thanks for everything!

[@joycejones7459]

I really enjoyed listening to you all, I have 4 sisters and we love to remember family stories too. Love to you all. ❤️

[@SUZY55]

This video was a BLAST! Hilarious. I laughed out loud when Carol said her husband's gift of a Janome sewing machine was like owning a Steinway when all you can play is Chop Sticks. It was lovely seeing that relaxed sisterly joy you have together.

[@barbkartz9647]

I loved this sitting down with your sisters. It’s amazing to see how you interact. It reminds me so much of how my sisters and I are when we get together. ❤

[@vivlee3840]

Oh what a wonderful time! Its so lovely to see you girls together, it's like being in the room with you. Viv, I KNEW you'd made Anne's top at least, straight away! . Really smart. You're so fortunate to have each other and thank you for inviting us to be with you. 🤗 🙏 ❤️

[@heatherh4091]

I just need to say, I enjoy your channel so much!!!! I don't have any friends or family that sew, but when I watch an episode like this one, it makes me feel like I'm sitting and laughing with sewing friends!!! Plus, it's very cool to see a great sewing you tube channel that I can relate with more, since I'm "older" (45). Great work!!!!

[@vivmomsews4962]

Thanks Heather! So glad you’re here!😃

[@carlac4975]

Oh my! What a sweet treat! I loved seeing all of you together!!! Looking forward to the next video with your sisters! Your makes for them are fantastic! Bless you all! The falling slip story and the too small bloomer stories were the best! Thank you for the laughter!!!

[@inthekitchen8842]

In a world gone crazy, it was so great to laugh with some girls. Wonderful day with your sisters. Please have them back!!!

[@karlawallace1633]

I got a brand new Sears sewing machine for Christmas when I was in 7th grade. (1965) My mom saved the Ad and it cost $69.99. It is olive green and I still have it.

[@charlottemccaig578]

I just saw one of those machines in a thrift store yesterday!

[@adrienneclamp9118]

Dorcas was a deacon in the early church and associated with fabric (perhaps a cloth merchant).

[@soSEW-COB]

Another thank you Viv. You gals are so fun & uplifting. I looked up dope men sew and now follow him on KZbin and Instagram 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Viv u r an amazing seamstress. And a joyful inspiration to me to GET MY BUTT MOVING ! (Sewing that is haha) Hugs to all , thx for ur videos 💐 Chris Ontario Canada 👋🏻

[@trishsh5007]

It was so lovely to meet your sisters. You all get on so well. It was really charming, and also charming that you sew for them all. We need more Vivmom and Vivsisters!

[@ritabuchheim544]

I have loved this session your sisters are wonderful and I loved Carols story about her slip I can understand her embarrassment I loved to sew and my sister didn’t and for Christmas one year she got a brand new sewing machine and I got a used one. I traded it years ago for a new machine and wished I never did. Have a wonderful day

[@Coastalanne54]

I love hearing about your family’s sewing adventures and you are all so beautiful. I was a sewer of my own clothes when I was very young in the 60’s but gave up and took up quilting when a small shop offered classes. So happy to have my daughter interested in sewing clothes together . Thanks to the video’s teaching how to sew and fit. Please keep sharing 😍

[@debbiewhite3270]

I have loved your channel and your family. Now I love your sisters too :-)). Those are beautiful garments that you made. You guys are a hoot! I was laughing all the way through. My Mother sewed clothes for my brother and me when we were little. Same fabric and style but one with a skirt and one with shorts or pants. I wasn't interested in sewing till after she passed. Definitely, my loss. Please don't ever nitpick a part of yourself. You ladies are beautiful, especially when you all smiled or laughed. You light up the whole internet. You ladies are quite the package. Gorgeous through and through as well as piece by piece. Love ya

[@yvonneamos9677]

Well that made my day. Lovely sisters, hilarious and so warm. You guys are so generous to share your stories with us. Thank you.💜

Carol & Anne are just as amazing as you. Families are the best.

[@elizabethvera5321]

Viv, thank you so much for having your sisters sit in with you 🤗. I enjoyed all of your stories. It made me laugh so hard when your sister told the story about her slip falling down to her ankles. Also, how young ladies don’t really wear slips anymore and how hard it is to try to find one😁. Absolutely loved all the outfits you and your sisters were wearing and the others you made.

[@lynnmoroz4358]

Oh you girls! You made me laugh. I’ve got 4 sisters and my Mom was a sewer, I can relate to all you were talking about! From Barbie dolls to slips. Enjoyed your visit immensely!

[@missyjosieful]

Loved this episode with your sisters! Please don't ever take them for granted; I have one sister who is the black sheep of the family and doesn't speak to me so I envy you and your friendship with your sisters. I do, however, have amazing friends who I definitely count as sisters. Be thankful, too, for moms who blessed us with the love of sewing!

[@susan2241]

Love you ladies! Viv I really enjoy your videos. You’ve inspired me to sew more clothing. I’ve been focused on quilts for quite some time now and have wanted to do clothing again for awhile but it seemed like a chore. You’ve lit my fire with your fabric and makes videos. I binge watch them dreaming of what I should make. But you are my favourite part of your videos. You are so real and always make me laugh. It’s like spending time with a friend. Pure joy! 😁

[@ccpperrett7522]

Thank you for the delightful visit with Anne, Carol and Viv.

[@suesullivan4659]

You three made me laugh! All beautiful women!

[@oskarmolly]

I loved watching this, it brought back so many sewing memories. My first dress and my mom who did not sew made me a dress. She had a Featherweight but I don't think she knew how to backstich, I was so proud of it and wore it to school and it started to fall apart. First the sleeves and then the gathered waist. The HomeEc teacher had to take me in her room but her coat on me and resewed the dress. But I continued on, taking after my grandmother and learned to sew. Thanks for this video. You have beautiful sisters just like you are!

[@judybaugus2909]

I just found your utube channel. My mom was a homemec teacher who had five girls. We all sew, some more than others. You were so funny together. You are all beautiful women. Embrace yourself and left each other up

[@vivmomsews4962]

Thank you judy, and welcome!

[@faith3557]

How sweet! I had 3 brothers and no sisters. The closest I got to sharing anything sewing with them was playing the nurse lady and stitching up fake wounds while we played war outside in our backyard. Thank you for sharing your sisters with us. They are just as entertaining as you.

[@lisahurst8565]

Your sisters are so much fun, I could not stop laughing! Maybe they can be regulars on the channel? I love all the makes, especially Carol's bee tunic. Thanks for the laughs.

[@jeandunlop2922]

Lovely ladies. Great vlog. Thank you for sharing.

[@nancyoppegard6665]

LOVED meeting your seesters...I was also one of 4 sisters...and it was always so good to be together and chat. Wish yours were in ALL your videos ! What an interesting conversation learning about all your sewing histories. Wish my past family chats would have been recorded. My oldest two sisters sewed their school clothes AND made the outfits for the High School plays. My closest sister had dabbled in sewing, plus a lot of hand work (quilting, hooking, yoyo quilt, etc) but the BABY (me) really took off with sewing starting in grade school...doll clothes...then all my prom dresses, some school clothes, later maternity clothes, kids clothes and home dec. I call myself a quilter, now, but haven't done anything except COLLECT fabric in the past 10 years. I always love watching your videos/fashion shows, fabric and pattern hauls. The subject matter is things I love, but your cheerful personality really makes my day. Sure hope to see more of your two sisters plus the missing quilter ! Thanks for all you do. Nancy in Mobile.
