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!

[@juliannearlene7244]

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

[@katnuccio85]

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

[@maryellendunn8899]

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

[@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 🩷🩷🩷

[@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.

[@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.”🤣🤣

[@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.

[@EbWhit91]

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

[@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!

[@bridgeth6864]

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

[@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....

[@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

[@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!

[@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 !

[@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!😂😂😂

[@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 -❤️!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!!!! 😃

[@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!

[@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!

[@maggiesmith9083]

Loved it..5 siblings..1 sister and 1 brother left..2 sisters and 1 brother gone on ahead...

[@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.

[@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.❤️

[@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.

[@minettegrocott4018]

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

[@heatherr9201]

Very fun to meet some of your sisters.... happy sewing!

[@annebraley5016]

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

[@annieabfab6258]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🐨🇦🇺

[@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.

[@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!!

[@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!

[@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.

[@mecraftytoo]

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

[@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!!

[@jakyuuy]

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

[@sharonzotoff3975]

You are SO lucky to have sisters. That's something I envy. I think I smiled all the way through that video at the closeness and the humor that you share with each other. I could spend all day listening to you talk and laugh together 😊

[@vivlee3840]

I felt that too.

[@map2932]

I envy that sisterhood thing too. God gifted me with a great daughter and granddaughter to fill the void.

[@katheyzareian1220]

Oh my word this was the best...I am so jealous...I have three brothers can you imagine....no sisters. You guys are so funny and special....thank you.

[@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!!! ❤ 🇨🇦

[@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!🤗☺️

[@jolynnwhite7946]

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

[@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!

[@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. 🤗 🙏 ❤️

[@dianecrews6130]

Your sisters are absolutely precious. What a wonderful family. Wish Kathy could have been there so we could have met her too.

[@loisgrady9034]

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

[@feliciajones3394]

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

[@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.

[@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).

[@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

[@rsanchez7663]

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

[@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!😃

[@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! 😁

[@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.

[@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.

[@susanjones8233]

Loved seeing you with your sisters! ❤️

[@carlalucas4284]

I’ve laughed out loud so much with you all, I thought I’d wake my husband who is two rooms away from me!! What a joy this has been💖

[@socarole66]

If this was TV it would be called ‘TV Gold’ 😍. Just fantastic to watch, thank you 👏🏼 xx

[@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 😊✂️

[@deanalovessewn6117]

Hi Viv!! You guys are totally a hoot.. Really enjoyed meeting some of your sisters.. They are so lucky to have a sister who sews for them.. Thanks for all the laughs, couldn’t stop.... 💜💜💜🧵🧵🧵

[@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!!!

[@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. 👍

[@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.

[@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!

[@cynthiatennant9896]

You’re sisters are super, I was just able to be with my two sisters, first time in about eight years! Love it!

[@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.

[@jljkhoo]

So lovely to see you and your sisters together. Now i want sisters like you. 😊

[@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!

[@karenlewis5394]

Wonderful to see your sisters and listening to you all laughing

[@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.

[@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. ❤

[@lindavictor8250]

Enjoyed meeting your sisters....lovely family!!

[@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!

[@barbarajennings1057]

Oh how I wish I had sisters. I have a dope of a brother. It tears me up to see you all together wishing for a sister.🥲

[@susancheer5981]

I have 2 sisters who are younger than me and they are very close. Because I was the oldest, and was the designated babysitter to 7 brothers and sisters, I ended up not being close to any of them. It doesn't always work out how we'd like and Viv is quite fortunate to be so close to hers.

[@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!

[@deborahnelson4608]

[@cindybonem494]

Enjoy your sisters, every minute of every day, I miss mine terribly.

[@halekl]

Loved watching this!! You are all just so funny and what a special bond you have!!! I would love to see the 4 of you sit together for a chat. I'm sure it would provide more comic relief! My kids attended a high school that had a contest for the seniors Halloween week. My daughter(43) and her two best friends where The 3 Amigo's and my son (36) and his 6!! friends decided to be sumo wrestlers. So much fun making those.....stitched 2 sets of long underwear together, stuffed with fiberfill and then made the "diaper". They LOVED it and we had so many laughs. Both one first place and gave lots of wonderful memories for years to come.

[@janesamaniego6853]

Being the youngest of 7 girls I enjoyed this immensely! I am always surprised when I hear stories of siblings that don't get along or don't communicate much! You all obviously had as much fun and love as we did growing up- I loved your stories. Also love it when Colin comes on - his comments are pretty tuned in and interesting. This was fun, fun, fun!

[@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!

[@rebeccawalker5295]

How lovely 😊. Watching you with your sisters makes me wish I had some too! Thanks Viv, Carol and Anne for sharing ❤️

What a fun time you had. Thanks for sharing. The sewing stories were so fun. Since Kathy is the quilter, I'd guess she got the Featherweight. Anne with an 'e' is the best way to spell it.
