ALWAYS open the new fabric packages to show us!! I have so missed you and VivMom doing that. It was exciting to see what surprises were in the box.

Just found a your sewing channel and I am loving it. I have laughed out loud watching you, but at same time I’m learning. You’re like a friend I’ve had for a long time. Please keep making these videos. I need them.

Very nice dress you are wearing. It really suits you.

Hi Joy, I love your enthusiasm. I want to start sewing for myself. I am going through cancer treatment and I need a diversion. I use to sew for myself. I do have to get new patterns and new fabric...oh, poor me..have to get new stuff😁😁😁❤I am almost 83 and I have a lot more living to do on a limited budget...this will be fun. Send me some of your energy. Bless you and Jerry.❤❤❤

That paisley print you bought from Peggy looks really good on you! I would definitely keep that for yourself😊 And I think the blouse you made out of the blue panel print turned out super cute! It’s a keeper👍🏼

Yes, you can sing! Long time subscriber here... still watching and love it when you sing ❤

Wishing u a very blessed Happy Mother's Day!

You saved the day with that top and made it into a winner!

You do cheer me up, such a breath of fresh air. Loved your makes (and mistakes!) and your fitting tips. Style Arc can be a challenge but they have some stylish designs.

Hi Joy, I love the blue blouse with the stripe, and it looks great on you. Happy Sewing. ❤❤❤

I like Peggy too. She knows stuff I need to learn. I bought the leapard print with pink roses that you bought. I made a T-top from one of her patterns with it. The fabric is so nice. I love the top and I love that you have one too!

Joy, your sailboat quilt looks beautiful in your sitting area. It was beautiful at your other house, but it looks made for the wall there. Like that, you have a special place to chat with us, and oh love the quilt/fabric ideas. Be safe.

That's right if we were all the same we would all be boring

Joy I really like your style arc top. I think it looks very slimming and it looks interesting with the points. Love the combination with the yellow pants. You should make it again as it looks great.

The top with the purple pants looks so good on you. Great fit!

I love your crazy top 😊 Thank you for the visit it's a great way to start my week.

I like how you managed to use the yard and a half to make your top. It’s cute and interesting. Unique.

Your sailboat quilt is just perfect in that spot Joy with your mom's chair, so cozy and perfect for a chat! ❤

Oh Joy, I so enjoyed hearing about your cutting out adventure It is soooooo something I would do with my ADHD brain. For a change it wasn’t me. Thanks for letting us know your experience. I needed this!

Your blue top is very attractive and unusual. It is fresh and cool ready for the warmer days to come. I'm inspired to look through my patterns and start something for Summer. Well done.

I really liked that pattern Joy and it looked lovely on you 😘

I like the way you angled the panel print. That is flattering. And looks like a comfy summer top.

I love it when you sing the “It’s May” song! You have a very nice singing voice! Oh and I had to chuckle when you showed us the the little pieces of wood that are breaking off of your mom’s chair because it reminded me of the time my husband sat down in his very old recliner and a big spring broke loose and flew across the room narrowly missing the tv! It was quite a shock and pretty funny (thankfully no one was hurt and nothing got damaged so we could laugh about it!).

Like what you did with the panel for a too. The other one is cute too! The purple is cute.

You’re going to look great in those new blouse patterns. It’s so fun to sew interesting designs.

The blue top is great with your layout. So good to see you. You always inspire me!

I used to be a custom clothing designer back in the 80s but then again I do teacher on KZfaq

Style arch are great patterns

lol. I leave my coffee in the microwave too. Love the quilt and your outfit.

Just signed up for your vlog and did the bell so I'll be notified each time you post a new vlog. You are such a breath of fresh air! Happy sewing!

❤ that long dress is lovely. Looks very fresh and new on you. There are no flowers this time.

Hi Joy, that dress is adorable. Love a catch up with you ❤

Joy you have a beautiful voice Love it 🥰

Hello Joy! loved your chat. I especially loved the pattern of the blue striped s top. You did a awesome job with that panel!

Hi Joy, the panel top turned out really cute! Even without the dart it looks really nice on you

This is Monday-the 6th - Peggy has great fabric on sale today.

Your video today was entertaining 😁. I love the tops with different angles in front. Using different fabrics in the one blouse would have shown the different angles. It has been raining a lot but think of the beautiful green Spring and Summer it gives us! ( but like you, I need some sunshine)

Whenever I do the modern tuck, my husband comes and pulls it out🤣

Joy, I really like top you are wearing with the purple pants. The color and style suit you very well.

That new top with the panels is really cute! I love your channel! Hugs! Peggy

Joy the blue Style Arc top is so cute on you, you are a genius!

Nice pattern you showed on phone

Love you energy!! Hurry and start style arch v-neck top

I love Style Arc! I’m with you for sure! Love the blue blouse! Love you! ❌❌🧑🏻‍🦳‼️

Love how creative you were with the top, love it!

Your new top looks nice and cool. Remember those hot summers are coming.

I got a really beautiful fabric for $4.50 a yard

FABULOUS blouse of creative design thought 🧵

I personally do not like the half tucked shirt. I think they got it stuck in their pants while pulling them up!

I enjoy your snippets!

Love the quilt behind you.

I love your style arc tunic. It looks beautiful.❤

Love how you’re getting good use out of your lovely, complimentary knit dress! You’re such a joy. Your name fits you. Is your middle name feisty? Hugs C

I think the blue top turned out great.

That longer top looks so good on you!

I love the top made from the panel!

The Style Arc is a challenge but its inspiring to see that you’ve accepted that! Who among us have never cut fabric before correcting the pattern!

Enjoy it (blue top). I too have made many Style Arc patterns.

That is a new look pattern for all of those styles and you can get that pattern for 99 cents at the Hobby Lobby

You made me smile when you sang the lovely month of May !!!! That is one of my favorite movies as well !!!! I haven’t thought of it in years !!! Thank you for a lovely memory !!!!

I think you made that pretty dress

Love Fabric Mart- know how you feel about ordering fabric- just got to!😅

I love your videos. You make my day. I also like all the clothes you make.

There us no such thing on this earth that is perfect so you can run yourself crazy trying to be something that does not exist, perfection.

I'm a tailor and you have to have darts in women's clothing to change the dimensionality of the fit -- women have curves. Cheaper clothing is drafted to be used for unisex styling and therefore will forego the darts. But if you want clothes specifically made to fit a woman's body, you're going to have to have darts. The only things in my own wardrobe without darts are my tee shirts. Use darts, Joy!!!!!

I would recommend you use color blocking with that pattern so there is a point to all those separate pieces.

It’s cute it doesn’t need a dart because it makes your armhole to small

Oh I just got some fabric from Fabric Mart

What is the pattern for the dress you are wearing please. As always LOVE YOU Joy!!

I love that blue top.

I love all of your videos. I especially like your videos about clothes construction. I always learn so much about so many different aspects of sewing ! Thank you thank you!

I do love the Lani top.

Hi Joy, about the top that was cut out wrongly, the irony is, your level of expertise and confidence just shines here🌸 because I don’t know how you were even motivated to sew it up - I don’t think I would’ve even taken it to the sewing machine let alone think of ways to fix it. Thanks for teaching us that even in the sewing world, it’s not over til it’s over! Raining non stop here on the east coast of Australia too.

Thank you, see you next time.😊😊😊

Good Morning Joy, I say that because I started watching this video as soon as you put it online, early, and I've had to stop it for various reasons, I have it stopped now because I want to tell you what I'm thinking about the blouse you cut out, first the colors aren't the same, you've already found that out BUT I think because this pattern has so many different angles that you could get away with using the darker material to recut the pieces you need! Hey, give it a try. Also, I like this relaxed video, with you talking, I feel like you are talking to US and not to your camera! Love this visit, and I hope we can do it again! Leta from Louisiana.

Hey Joy! Love watching your videos and have learned so much about sewing from you. I recently purchased New Look Pattern 6439 and wondered if you had ever made it before and if not is it something you would consider doing on a future video? It will be my first attempt at sewing clothing again in over 40 years and I sure could use your help! Let me know what you think and until next time keep smiling! Love ya!

Great video . Name it “The JOY” of sewing!1 Thanks for sharing ❤

I just bought a pattern one of the 99 cent patterns from The Hobby Lobby that the model is wearing striped Fabric and then I realized I still have some striped fabric left

My first hobby is buying fabric, then after that it's quilting, sewing, reading, etc.

I did however order some fabric from Jo-Ann Fabric that was and okay price

Joy enjoyed it! ❤

Love that blue top!

That panel top is beautiful! I never would have thought to put it on an angle like that.

I just want to add I absolutely loved as a young girl and even now Exactly The way you are joy! Your gift of order and all Is a gift! Many of us gals need to learn So. I love ya ❤

Joy, I love that top! The strip going down at an angle both front and back is so uniquely beautiful!

Hi Joy, I actually said … wow, when you came on with that blue top . I love it especially with that stripe that goes around the back . I sit and giggle at you thank you for giving me laughs. ❤ I just love how happy you seem .😊

Your top looks great

I was going to see about buying fabric from The Hobby Lobby on Saturday but they didn't have their discount bin in the middle anymore you know like the aisle when you first get there to the fabric section that's the discount section is gone so I bought some patterns for 99 cents each

Hi Joy! Longtime viewer but not sure if I've commented before. Enjoyed this video! I always learn about fitting from your videos, which is something I'm trying to improve on in my sewing journey. I cracked up near the end when you mentioned "fake round back". Love it! Thanks for the great videos! ~Angela

Love those tops

I love that too. Hobby Lobby has New Look for one dollar. Thank you Joy I have a very good time watching you.

I love your top-it was genius laying the pattern out the way you did! Wear it!

🙏 you are all safe through this tornado weather.

I like the top a lot

Your top is adorable Joy!

Awesome to try new patterns Happy sewing 🪡 🧵 ✂️ 💓

Good for you for sticking with it and completing the Style Arc blouse! It’s good for our brains to make them work a little bit harder than usual! And I actually like the neckline a lot! I know you said it was a mistake but the shape of the neckline is very flattering on you. It kind of looks like a boat neck.

I always like new I got some new patterns and new fabric to the video is going to be scheduled for being soon😊

Very ingenious use of the panel fabric. Very stylish

You did good
