Too late

@@biowellnesslifestyle5842 I tried my darndest. I wasn’t aware of the treachery until people started contacting me. It’s been a headache and again, I’m really sorry.

[@BonneEileen]

I got one, and the responses I received weren't worded in the manner that you would speak, so I figured, "sounds fishy....this ain't Viv!"

[@Healthycook0001]

Yes I received an email requesting me to “click here” because you wanted to send me something! I didn’t click because giveaways are usually announced in a video.

[@vivmomsews4962]

@@Healthycook0001 I will always announce giveaways in my videos, and NEVER ask people to send me things or download an app!

[@vincenzolee6576]

This is very unfortunate but you shouldn’t need to apologize. We are glad you are back and I really enjoyed this video.

[@debrajensen755]

We all need a break in life and that is alright. Glad to see you back. Take it easy.

[@cindywinkler4172]

You are so fun! Great outfits, you're a joy to watch, Colin is a cutie too, he resembles his beautiful mom

[@yahwehisontheway5094]

All of your makes look really nice. I love the floral colors, and especially that pink dress, you look really youthful in it with the way you have your hair.😊 Glad you got your sewing mojo back.

[@kerstintaugher1793]

I was so excited to see your brand new video! It was like an old friend was back in town! You look wonderful in everything, especially the last dress!

[@yoliebean]

I always enjoy your videos. I’ve got a hoarded stash of fabric that I want to work my through. I hop to start after the holidays!

[@terrycampani206]

So glade you have your mojo back just love love your videos & your son popping in, icing on the cake……l❤

[@janeherrera7258]

Great to have you back… and so nice seeing Colin 😀

Hello 👋how are you doing?

[@mariaalcazar1812]

The dress with the off white sweater is stunning

[@patti8070]

I’m so HAPPY to see you again! I’ve been waiting and watching for a video from you 💕💕💕👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@franklinstephen3268]

Hello 👋how are you doing?

[@pineapplelumpa]

Look I never comment on videos but I just have to in this case. I am an absolute beginner to sewing and have just spent the past few days watching countless videos and your style and presentation of what you sew and actually showing us by trying it on - WINNER!!!!!!!!! New sub, I'm here for it!

[@vivmomsews4962]

Glad you’re here Pine Apple! As a beginner, do what you’re doing and continue to collect information. Sew clothes that aren’t terribly fitted so that you get the thrill of success. It’s a progression, like almost everything in life. Those of us who’ve sewn a lot still have duds and failures, but we keep going. Hope I can encourage you along the way. Welcome!😃

[@lindaacleggjohnson8710]

Glad to see you back Viv you inspire me.

[@lindamain6355]

lovely to see your makes Viv. Hi from Melbourne in Australia

[@janicecoulson5388]

Lovely to see you l ove all. Your makes❤️❤️

[@shirleylum2198]

It's wonderful to see a sewer so passionate about sewing as you are, there are not many around these days. Thank you for your channel.

[@tinagoodman7256]

I agree about the neckline on the nightshirt. I love all the rest of your outfits.

[@tinagoodman7256]

I actually made that last dress shortly after I graduated. I just made a little gathered spot in the front, made it very low necked, so I took some of the gathering out, added the bow and concealed a little more! Dress was actually comfortable and cool.

[@pennycreech731]

I love your makes videos. You have such a eclectic style. Everything you put on looks great.. I wish I had half your talent. Please keep making these videos so I can stop watching all the old ones over and over.. The first dress you are wearing in this video is my favorite.

[@vivmomsews4962]

Many thanks Penny!😁

[@gillianhogarth7885]

Delighted to see you back! 18 000 views or so already. Love that you are so natural and just you. X

[@Eileenford]

So very pleased that you're back! You inspire me with every one of your makes. I love them. x

[@mrgarner4796]

Love your sews Viv. Looking forward to your 2023 fashions.

[@barbaraanne2136]

I was just thinking about Colin yesterday. So good to see him. He has grown! All your outfits are super nice.

[@SewTexas]

In my hundreds of years of sewing I have never seen a pattern that says sew the pattern on and then rip it off. But I rarely ever read pattern directions, found they confuse rather than instruct. The dress and cardigan look very pretty.

[@sandrastacks268]

Liked all your creations but especially the last one in midi length with cardigan. Very flattering.

[@poppies1215]

Great to see you back and modeling again. Always love your honest critiques on the patterns. I really liked the movement on that last dress material. Will keep my eyes out for the Suzanne Monaco knits as well. Thanks for the show.

[@SewAndTellwithDori]

Hi Vivmom: To soften up your batik shirt, use a 1:4 mixture of liquid fabric softener: water in a spray bottle. Spray your blouse well and then iron your shirt. The solution will soften your blouse fabric nicely. Works well on getting stubborn wrinkles out of pre-washed fabric. LOVE your fabric and pattern reviews! 🥰

[@lorrainedempsey3320]

Luv everything you made, especially the night shirt, and the last dress with the cardigan. Keep on sewing.

[@elizabethevans5931]

I’m so delighted to see you back. You are such a sweet woman and so giving of your time and your gift. I’m not going to watch the video until the weekend. It will be my special treat to myself!!! You make a big difference in the lives of many people acros the world.

[@cindywinkler4172]

Blue night shirt is divine!

[@chrislittebrant5235]

Good Evening Viv, All your makes look Devine on you. Spot on, I thought the pale pink dress looked fabulous on you, a beautiful drape, gorgeous with that belt, another Spot On make. Gosh, like I said, all the makes look so nice on you. Have a wonderful fall weekend, 🥰👏 ❤️ Chris aka Chris-Raleigh NC

[@celarasmith8030]

Glad you got your mojo back! Love all fabric choices and love all the outfits. Thanks for sharing.

[@sharonworkman9390]

So glad you are back! I love to watch Vivmom. I've been watching you for some time now and you are such an inspiration. Your sweet personality brings a smile each time I watch. Love your comments and tips. Thank you for all the interesting sewing content.

[@nancycronin601]

All beautiful.

[@leahpitman2731]

Hahaha!!!! Love love love this one as I needed a pick-me-up today!!!!! The “clatter” of Collin popping in on his lunch break!!!! You say you make these patterns so we can see them on a”regular” person!!! Viv…. You are out of the realm of “regular”!!!!! You are gorgeous in anything you put on, witty and full of inspiration!!!! I must make that tie in the front Burda blouse!!!! Wonderful October makes!!!! Oh…. Sometimes I wish I were a fly on your wall when you are at your machine trying to figure out the reasoning behind some of the instructions given on these patterns!!! Hahaha!!!!!! I decided to go to my favorite thrift store yesterday! They still had a handful of children’s patterns I donated. I shopped around the store and went back to fabrics. My eyes once again looked at that shoebox of patterns and it was jam packed! They had brought out some new ones and at $1.00 each I bought 20!!!! I spent yesterday afternoon looking them all up on pattern reviews! I’m thinking I may have a problem….well….I know I do…with not being able to turn down a good deal on fabric and patterns!❤. So happy you enjoyed your “break” and got your motivation back!!! I missed you but I even enjoy watching past videos since I only “discovered” you this year!🎉😊❤

[@lynettecockburn332]

Hey vivacious Viv! It's wonderful to hear that you've got your sewjo back and even better to see you. Love to you and you family from me and mine here in the UK xxxx

[@franklinstephen3268]

Hello 👋how’re you doing?

[@54321Judith]

You could even put a belt or tie up thin sash , made out of the same fabric as the blue and red dress and wear that to lunch. I love that one.🥰

[@catherinealaniz1108]

I'm always so impressed with your creativity and style

[@patriciadoherty464]

Great video! Wonderful makes! So glad you got your sewing mojo back. Keep sewing and take care.

[@marta77inf]

Vivian you are a classy lady. Super elegant. I very seldom sew looking at the instructions in the packets. I use my serger a lot. More than my machine. I have a Babylock Destiny. I use it for a lot of embroidery. I use the serger for a lot of garments. I also have a cover stitch. Babylock. But I became older and sewing is kind of hard. Please put more videos up. They are so complete. Thanks Vivian. I am an Esthetician. I worked for over 45 years. I love fashion and look pretty. I am from Buenos Aires and live in Palm Springs CA.

[@suemerritt7895]

Love seeing what you make. Soooo funny with your son...."if you're not wearing me-made, get out of the picture". I was laughing so hard. And he was smiling too!!! Soooo funny!!!

[@sharronwolfe7711]

Great outfits! I’m with you in the “guide” for the ruched front on the lady dress! I had to laugh! I can just see my high school home ec teacher shaking her head and rolling her eyes! Thanks for the great laugh on that one!

[@glorialafollette61]

Love all your makes. So nice to see someone using big 4 patterns. The belt looks great on you.

[@bethann2971]

As always you looked "marvelous darling" in all you outfits , thanks so much for sharing vivmom...

Thanks for resuming your videos. After a lifetime of rearing children and working full time, I am now retired and getting ready to start sewing again and your videos give me inspiration. The batik printed shirt and the last knit dress are my favorites. The colors and styles suit you very well.

[@Savannahcb]

You look absolutely stunning in that last dress and cardigan. The colors flatter your complexion perfectly. Glad to see Colin is doing well also!

[@suek7086]

It is so good to see you again, Viv. I’ve missed you but am glad you got the break you needed. My sewjo has been gone for several months but I am just starting to try a couple of things. Enjoy making what pleases you.

[@laurafarrer328]

Hi Viv, delighted to see you again. Of all the sewists out there, you are one of very few using only Big 4 patterns, which is mostly me too. Your makes are always inspiring and I love your use of print fabrics. Gorgeous! Thank you, X💜🐨

[@marianweber831]

Hello Viv. It is really nice to see you back and you are looking well. I love all your makes and so glad you got your sewing MOJO back. I am still working on getting mine back. You are always fun and entertaining to watch and it makes me want to sew again. I love how you are honest about the fabrics and patterns you sew. I like you like my garments a little loose and not tight. Love the 70's styles. Nice to see Colton with his smile. He is a handsome young man. It is nice to see you back Viv. You made my day. You were surly missed.

[@paquitatriana3721]

Such beautiful creations! Thanks for sharing!

[@a.guerra2139]

What a delightful day today is. I exercised, got my prayers in, watched a wonderful video from my favorite sewing gal and even happy Collin made an appearance. Breaks are good for the soul, my friend, you take as many as you need. Take it easy this time, you're not running a race!!!!! Hope your sister's wrist is healing well.

I love the last dress and your ruffly blouse outfit the very best. Sorry to see you had a scammer come on board. I love seeing your vlogs and to see the family. Collin is such a handsome young man. Hope to see you soon. As you can see, however, I am late in seeing you again. I also have been busy. Hope to see you soon!!!!

[@pamelashumate4355]

So glad you are back, you have been very busy. You have inspired me so much and I have been spending a lot of time at my sewing machine. It has helped me with my anxiety and my daughter and granddaughter are reaping the benefits.

[@tammystack2208]

Those blue pants and tops are so pretty! Thanks a gain for your videos- I've been sewing again for about three years now since I discovered your videos. (And online shopping... 😉)

[@jeannepedalino3525]

I had a dream last night that u came to visit me. It was so real because I feel that you r an old crazy friend. It was a warm & fun dream 😊. I sew mostly knits & sometimes they r just super soft “house” clothes. I redesign the necklines / length too. Lately I can’t get enough sweater knits for pants & cardigans! I am a fabricmart junkie who loves to follow your sewing adventures. You r the sewing friend I do not have in reality 🤪.

[@vivmomsews4962]

Glad it was a happy dream and not a nightmare!😂💕

Great to see you back Viv, love all the makes except the blouse with the ruffle 🙏☘️💚

[@vivmomsews4962]

I hear you. You know what I’m going to do? Chop off the sleeves. I tried it on and thought the sleeves were totally bringing it down. When I pushed them up it looked a lot better!!😂 I usually don’t put these clothes on until I film my videos, so a lot of times I’m “seeing” them for the first time too!

[@victoriahannah1633]

Good to see you back & enjoying sewing again. I loved everything. I’m not sewing right now but it’s all for a good cause. Everything is packed up & leaving Virginia to go spend a little over a month with family in Florida. My sewing room is in the back of the car. I like the midi length & tea length also. I also like that length of night gown & on those cold nights here in Virginia I like pajama pants while I’m up and about.

[@terrelleelizabethjolley-gr5093]

It is great to see you again. Try not to stay away so long. You did a great job on everything you made. There wasn't one outfit that did not look wonderful on you. From your last video, you stated that you weren't feeling your sewing mojoe. I think all of us get to that point at some time. But it comes back and its good to see that you are back to your old self again. Can't wait to see your next video. Continue to keep up the good work.

[@dawnwiltshaw7153]
