Love your blouse, pattern and fabric. You have such a beautiful “style😋, Joy. I always make sure I catch all your videos. My friends don’t sew, and you are my inspiration. Thank you, Joy, so much for being here “for me.”

I've only watched the first 17 mins but I have to say I love all the fabrics! And there's NO reason you can't make them all! At our age we don't have time to limit ourselves 😊

Joy. I saw the uneven cuffs on your sleeve and the extra fulness in the front. So glad that you saw it as well and making the fix. You sew beautifully and the top is pretty on you. I love floral prints as well, but the paisley is a nice change.. I'm in my seventies and I think that we know what looks and feels good on us at this age.

Hi Joy, I'm so happy to see you again, I've been off KZfaq. I wanted to tell you, I like you in everything but as you know it doesn't always depend on the pattern you use, sometimes it depends on the type of fabric and I noticed that the cotton-type fabrics don't look as good on you as the softer, slinky fabrics. Ok now that I got that off my chest, I want you to know how much I love your sewing, pattern choosing and most of all how you show how making a pattern fits you. When I was in my 20s and 30s I could just cut out the pattern and it fit me, like magic, I think in my 80's I figured out that no longer works. At first, I blamed the pattern company, then realized it was not their fault! The fault was mine. My body has changed and now I get to not only enjoy watching you, I also get to profit from your pattern-fitting wisdom. Thank you, Joy. I have so much to tell you but it will have to wait until next time.

Joy the blue top with the vneck and fabric strips across the neck, wearing with the black pants - looks great on you. And yes - always buy alittle extra fabric just in case!

Hi Joy! Omgosh, I just watched the two girls swap clothes. It's soooo true - we need to stick with what works for US. Just because a dress or top looks good on someone - doesn't mean it will automatically look good un us -- even if we're the same "shape". We really DO need to wear things that suit our own style. That video was great. Thanks for recommending it.

Looking forward to see you making your next 3 blouses ❤ 🪡🧵

Hi Joy, Sian is from the isle of wight which is part of the UK. I have been lucky enough to have my colours and style done with Nicola. 😊

Joy, I never leave a comment because by the time I finish all your snippets I've forgotten what I was going to say. So, I'm going to respond to each snippet as I watch it. I love the fabric you chose and it looks great on you. Perfect for spring

THANK YOU Joy for such a wonderful review on our Style Swap Challenge video, we're so pleased you enjoyed it! 🥰 It's been really interesting hearing everyone's opinions, which is great as our underlying message was to wear what YOU love and what makes YOU feel good 😍 You are right, we did kind of meet online after Sian had looked up a Colour Analysis consultation and came across my website and from there a great friendship was formed🥰 and somehow Sian convinced me to launch my own KZfaq channel last month and as we dress in completely different styles, the idea was formed and the Style Swap video created for all to enjoy and giggle along with us 🤣🥰 (P.S, I LOVE the blue floral shirt and pink trouser combo you're wearing, really suits you 😍) xx

like your fabric choices and the buttons. :)

Hi Joy :) you have so many pretty fabrics 😍I love the first one, the purple/blue floral and the soft light floral especially. Thank yo so much for the lovely comments on the Style Swap video! It was really fun to film. Nicola and I are from the UK a little island off the south coast called the Isle of Wight. My name is pronounced Sharn (it's Welsh) I've had so many different pronunciations over the years I think my favourite has been "Stan"!! 🤣

Hey JOY - I know Sian pronounced (Shaun). She lives in England. She lives with her adorable parents and their puppy dog Suzie. Sian is an EXCELLENT sewer. And JOY you look beautiful in the top you have on in this video the pink and black. Your hair looks so pretty. I’m making about six new blouses this week. I’m like you I make the same thing a lot

Just found your channel and I love. What. Great personality you are. Love the dress you’re wearing.

Ding dong, ding dong😂you are so funny and humble about your mistakes! I learn a lot with your mistakes. I usually buy extra fabric and use the extra in my scrap quilts. Like you, bring on the sunshine!!

Love watching 'Joy' videos..... from England. Love the accent !! Wen you say 'yall' ....it makes me smile..

I think your St. John top looks beautiful on you! About the weeds: Camomile (as in the tea) is a white flower with a yellow center! A lot of “weeds” are actually healthy for us.😉 I love your choice in fabrics! I’m a floral fan, too.

Happy for you! Glad ya'll are family again!!

I loved the KIMBERBELL patterns they used to have. I used to buy the “Sew” pattern books they stopped selling now.

Hi Joy, I hope you are OK in your tornado weather. !!!!❤❤

I totally love paisley and this fabric is great! I am totally in love with this sleeve. This has 3 of the things I love - 3/4 sleeves a split front neck and split side seams! Going to make this if I can find the pattern in my tiny little Joann’s store here out in the country.

Because you are so good about buying extra fabric maybe you could cut your next (appropriate for the design) blouse on the bias. I’ve heard the cotton will drape rather than be stiff. Might be fun to try.

Love your videos. Those crease will come off with mix vinegar and water spray. Looking forward to seeing a quilting video (my jam) with you

Love the pink paisley blouse ❤❤

I love the three fabrics that you’re going to make blouses out of! Very pretty! It’s cute how you want to do what your sister does (she gets 4 pieces of fabric so you get 4 pieces of fabric!😅)!

Your blouse is really pretty. Draping done nicely.

It looks very nice and the color is good on you.

I love your pink shirt. Looks great on you

I love the ruler slapping!!! It makes me chuckle every single time.

Both ladies live on the Isle of Wright UK. Sian is pronounced Shawn.

I like both the fit and the prints of the short sleeve blouses you wear. The prints and colours are very becoming. Same for the Peggy blouse, although you look even better in more shaped tops. The fabrics look also softer, lighter than the fabric of the 3/4 sleeve blouse. I think, to be honest, it would make a nice night gown, but it still looks a little too large for you, too straight down, especially in the back. It is also a little too pale for you, I miss some contrasting colour. In a knit it might look differently, but of course it is my personal opnion. I have the same issue with a cuff in a silk blouse, I still have to get it parallel to the ground or I shall shorten the sleeve altogether, unless I 'll add an elbow dart. Beautiful choice of fabrics, flowers are my favourite. There was a bright blue fabric in your stash I also liked very much. Great tip about the dart. I always think of fish eye darts when it comes to vertical ones.

It is MUCH better after the alterations. It's amazing what good fitting clothes look like on someone. BRAVO !!

Great video Joy! Your blouse came out very nice. I made a blanket out of that same material and bought it twice by accident ha ha...guess I really liked it (it was a pillow blanket). Joy whats the button down blouse pattern with the V neck that your wearing? I really like it. Have a blessed day...see you soon 💜

Dear Joy, when I was 20 years old I went to 2 classes. One was to identify what colors looked best in me and the other was called "styles for your figure". Best thing I ever did. Especially when I had to work in an office setting for 30 years. I mean you gain and lose weight but shapes don't change much.

Hi Joy, I enjoyed this video and wanted to suggest that the blouse with 3/4 link sleeves would also look good sleeveless I think.😊

Joy, the pink and bright blue look so good on you. And of course the tops are cute. The sleeves of the new top are really fun. I love that you are willing to show the mistakes you make. We all make them, some people just aren't willing to tell they made one. I think it's important for new people to sewing to realize it's okay and just figure out how to fix the mistake. That's for sharing with us!

I just watched the video, The Style Swop Challenge”. Nice. True.

Hi Joy! All 4 fabrics you eventually chose are exactly the ones I liked best for you! Great minds, and all. Thanks for the link to the style swap video. That looks very helpful. Take care.

Praying you weren't in the bad weather path. I need to sunshine too. We were in TX/gulf of MX where the sun shines 300+ sunny days per year.

Joy I love the material and buttons chosen for your blouses. I also love watching your show. Thankyou !!

That blue top with roses all over it is beautiful on you. And, that's a cute pattern.

Hi Joy, I am checking to see if you and Jerry are okay.

LOVE LOVE LOVE your new top. Maybe curving the hem. The sleeves are adorable! Wish you were coming to Paducah for the national quilt show. 30,000 visitors coming in for the show. Take care! 🙏✝️🇺🇸

I like the 2nd and 3rd blue the best. You are so generous and creative , Joy. Try to never miss your podcasts.

I like the middle fabric. It is bright and colorful for summer ☺

I have been watching your videos for many years and have gone back as far as I can. I have never enjoyed making clothes over the years. Never took home-economics. However, you have inspired me to try. I have made several blouses, t's and pants. I enjoy your enthusiasm and honesty. I am still making quilts and bags but now clothes. Thank you for your very good instructions.

Thank you so much Joy, I loved all the explanations and modifications to the pattern. Super!

I watch Tammy‘s videos. They are amazing so talented I crochet, but I cannot knit. I can’t handle the two needles haven’t crocheted for a while. It’s been been like years. Tammy looks like you Joy! 🪡🧵✂️❤️

I liked the red poppy fabric to brighten things up after winter.😅

All those fabrics are beautiful. Love that bold one.

Hi Joy! Your snippets are so fun. I have made the Simplicity top also. I love love love the sleeve detail. It is so pretty and different. I made mine out of a flowy rayon, it draped fine but was a bit too full for my liking. I don’t like the slit neckline and plan on not doing that the next time and lowering the neck a bit. I also do not like clothing touching my neck. The video with Nicola and Siam was fun. I have watched Sian for years and she looked so frumpy in Nicola’s clothes even though Nicola didn’t.

I like the blue blouse at the end. I like short sleeves ☺

Yes i notice the florals. I ve been searching for florals. At quilt stores. Hard to find pretty ones like yours. Love your videos. Keep it up

I really like the new blouse! Fabric is beautiful.

Joy, you look particularly lovely in the first top in this video. Your hair looks great too :) PS. I also follow Sian on Kittenish Behaviour. She lives in England. Her name is pronounced "Shahn" - rhymes with palm

I like the paisley, and the last one you showed, the best!!!

Your mom was right….you look good in blue, especially the vibrant blue flowered v-neck blouse.

I just loved your final fabric choices and the buttons! Can't wait to see the finished blouses!

Love your pink paisley blouse. It turned out so cute.

Hey Miss Joy, I love the top you made! Take care and God bless y’all! 😀❤️

Love that tunic/blouse!

Joy I love the fabric you’ve picked for sewing for spring and the blouse you made. Right now I’m in no mood for sewing. My doctor wanted to try me on Ozempic for my diabetes and weight loss. I had 2 good days on it and then I think I got the worst side effects with fatigue, pain,nausea & vomiting and just the most horrible weakness. I’m doing somewhat better but this weakness is just lingering. I appreciate any & all prayers. I can’t sew right now but I can enjoy these videos.

The top looks great on you. Great job

Love the top you made. I made a dress that has sleeves like that. 😊

Love the blue top.

The paisley top turned out very cute

I prefer a 3/4" sleeve length.

I love your pink shirt and I love the new blouse too!

Love that blue shirt also

good to laugh ☺

I like the top. I have that pattern and am now going to make it. Love to watch and learn more about fitting.😁

Hi Joy, your blue shirt with roses looks beautiful on you.

Thankyou for the adjustment to darts Joy. Wonderful. Same shoe as you

Love your blouse Joy. Looks fabulous on you.

Joy I love your paisley top ❤with you spare fabric you could make pants as co-ord top and pant set look great

Hey Joy. Good to see you and have a visit Love the shirt you made and thanks for the tutorial on making darts for the front of our blouses/shirts. It looks great on you. 😊

NO!!!! I’m too overwhelmed with soooo much stuff (patterns, fabric) and room too cluttered for sewing! Selling now through Facebook groups which I hate doing!! Go figure! Me…just like my mom, she collected but didn’t mind sewing surrounded by her” stuff “! I’m not normal either!!! I’ll fitting garments bug me!!!! I look at” pattern Review” and a lot of people have fitting issues and use the wrong fabric for the type of garments! They are smiling and I’m thinking…. Oh that would happen to me and I don’t like wasting $$$ and time on things I won’t wear!

Ffion is in the UK, on the Isle of Wight.

Hi Joy!! Loved your fabric choices! I love florals as well. I have that same pattern but haven't made the blouse yet. The blouse looked great on you and now I can't wait to make my blouse with floral fabric!

Joy, love your videos. I like to crochet while I'm watching. Yes, I did subscribe to your daughter's KZfaq because I like to knit also.

Really cute patterns and fabric choices. I need to start sewing again. I sewed so much I had a home sewing business - bridesmaid dresses , gowns etc…. I get anxious now when I sew but in need to push through it and make myself do it . Can’t find any clothes I like in the store because I’m old .

You look very nice in your new top. Thanks for sharing.

blooming weeds. hahaa

Haha, I am waiting for you to say...raise your hand...anyone, anyone... ☺

love to see your videos on making tops. you could do one video for each top! We will watch!!

Joy can't wait to see those fabrics sewn up I am making simplicity 9889 Mighty be a good one for you to try Happy sewing

Hey Joy❤

It’s probably attached with a French cleat. Headboards on a wall are usually attached that way.

Speaking of siri, we have a friend that calls harbor freight, pearl harbor, so we always said pearl harbor for that store so she knew what we were talking about. Anyway, one day we were driving around looking for a shop stool and so my husband asked siri to call pearl harbor and she said "in hawaii?" I was cracking up!

Hello Joy I love that top Could you make the side seam have more of a curve from armpit to top of the side slit to bring the blouse in so it doesn't stand out on the body .not as boxy. Does that make sense If you make the pattern in a lighter cotton it may drape better on you I have noticed that some quilting cotton is stiffer not as soft as others. Depending on where you get it and the brand it is Of course it will soften over Time with washing Love that top length is perfect with slim jeans Always enjoy your videos Take care Happy sewing

I watched the girls they were so much fun in the fashion show loved it and also told them that you sent me ..they said thank you to you for the mention

Hi Joy love your channel. I am about your size and whenever I use 100% cotton for tops I have the same problem with looking pregnant. I wonder if it the nature of cotton. Since then I am using viscose fabric. On another note do you have friends watching your home when you are gone I have been hearing about squatter moving into homes In some states if they are in your home for more than 30 days it extremely hard to get them out You probably are already aware. Just wanted to mention it

Hi Joy! I would love to see how you make the V neck on that blouse. I made it in the short sleeve a few years ago using linen like fabric and at that time I had trouble understanding the V neck.

Regarding the sleeve issue, I wonder if you could just take a tuck at the under arm seam until you thought it was straight. Then you could measure the tuck and know how much to change your pattern. I do really like the sleeves on this pattern; they are cute.

Love your enthusiasm. You can't help but make me smile :-) Sian (pronounced shaaan) Is from the UK, she lives on the Isle of Wight. I follow her, on and off. I shall look up the style swap challenge. Adore your mini sewing quilts, so cute. You can sew up just as many blouse, blue or otherwise, as you want. I'm sewing my third blouse, all the Frida by Atelier Jupe. Such a comfy blouse to wear and enjoyable to make. I have a question for you. Why do you sew so many clothes with quilting cottons? I love to experiement with different fabrics. We're all nuts at times. I made a stupid mistake today, sewing the same pattern for the third time, I dispensed with the instructions and missed a step! lol. Your new top is cute and love the sleeve details.

I agree with the inner part of the sieve being longer. It doesn't take much for it to be obvious..and off looking. I gues many people either don't notice, think it's supposed to be like that, or don't care. I don't like that, either.

By the way, another comment from Cheryl here, I think the light color blouse also needs pleats or darts in the back😘

Shawn is from an island off England coast. Pronounces her name shawn. Nicola does your colors for clothing

I think the style of the paisley top is not working with the fabric you chose. Maybe after a few washings it will hang better. But it is lovely. Love all your videos.❤

The shirt seems very big in the back. I had the pattern you made from Pamelas patterns with the t shirt overlay. I Remember thinking this does not look that easy. It is still in the original package. I will give it a go because I LOVE that shirt you made. It has a very SMALL hip measurement so I will make sure I enlarge it so I don't have to do a v pleat/insert! Love your videos. but would you consider doing a sew along with the t-shirt overlay pattern?
