Death by Applesauce and Other Stuff

[@EphanyasisOwleyes]

I don't care what time of the day or night this video came out I always enjoy your videos

[@ccpperrett7522]

Thanks for the refresher on measuring myself and the pattern pieces. I am so glad you survived the applesauce INSTAPOT experience. My sister swears by them. She got one for my Mother. I use it to cook for my Mom. I like it, but I can understand how confusing those instructions are. I have used pressure cookers for cooking meals and canning. There definitely is a learning curve. The name Instapot is misleading in some ways. It is faster than stewing a piece of meat for hours; in that way it is "Insta." I caught my breath when you said you put 6 lbs of apples, filled the pressure cooker 2/3 full, and then opened the pressure valve at full pressure! Oh my, Joy! I am so glad you were not scalded by all that boiling applesauce. At high pressure that would be 215 degrees F. Your product will expand, the water turns to steam, all under pressure. 😱 I love you Joy. Let the pressure fall to zero and the safety lock releases before you release the steam or attempt to open. Thank you Jesus.

[@corajohnson1885]

Good night late morning comes early on Monday! Joy, you encourage me to sew!

[@jaclynmoylan1905]

Thank god you weren’t standing on top of that. My grandma had a sister that passed away as a child from being burned so bad from a pressure cooker. Back then bad burns weren’t treated as well as they are today.

[@AZ-pf8qq]

Oh Joy I haven’t laughed like this in a long time. That was like a “I Love Lucy” episode. So thankful you weren’t injured.

[@annitamontgomery9756]

The new blouse looks beautiful on you. Hope you and Jerry have a BLESSED DAY!

[@maryb.7043]

I loved your applesauce story as it made me laugh out loud. "Death by Applesauce" Each time I use my Instapot, I use a my longest wooden spoon I own on the valve "just in case" and looking as if I'm poking windmills like Don Quixote! As a kid, I remember cooked tomatoes being splashed and spewed everywhere the kitchen and have not gotten over that evidently. Glad you didn't get burned!! 😂

[@kathleensmith1522]

I trace all my patterns and have taken classes from Judy. She creates garments from ideas she gets from people around her. Instead of folding and cutting through 4 layers for the sleeve, i fold medical exam paper in half vertically and trace out the sleeve onto the folded paper. Then remove original pattern and retrace pattern with a sharpy. Outline will show through to second side. If not, turn it over and trace on second half and open up. You now have a full pattern. Draw a dotted line down center along fold. You can use pattern folded like original or opened up. Also do this sometimes for front and back. You can see through pattern so don't end up with large flowers in wrong places at bust. Works great to line up plaids, too Only takes a couple minutes to trace both sides together and can drae horizontal lines on pattern to line up both sides as well. Love your videos They are so informative. I've been sewing for over 60 years but have learned a lot from them.

[@Joy4650B]

I've done the exact same thing. Whole sleeve is much better.

[@friedareading6814]

52weeks! Yes I need one more week, we could both have one more week! Love you Joy! 👍😀❤️

[@Joy4650B]

I knew I said that wrong, but I didn't want to go back and fix it.

[@Propfaqs]

I added clear elastic at the shoulders for my Kwik sew 2111 to solve the stretch issues. Works!

[@rtblade4]

I am glad you survived the applesauce volcano!

[@angiedenamur4531]

Joy I have laughed so hard, so glad you were not burned. I JUST Love Your Comedy

[@janemarchant2558]

Joy I couldn’t stop laughing about the Apple sauce incident, not because it nearly killed you but you explaining it was so funny. Glad your ok xxxx

[@christinedye957]

I so enjoy watching you adjust a pattern. You refresh my thoughts about adjusting my patterns to fit me. Thank you so much,

[@kathychilders9397]

Last chance!!!???? LOL I am laughing so hard!! I might have to think twice about getting one of those "instant pots" LOL

[@tinafisher]

I'm glad I'm not the only one confused by instapots, I used a couple of times the ONLY thing that saved me from hurting myself, is that I pressure can veg/meats/soups, and I know the releasing and cooling mechanism takes a lot of time, so regardless of what directions say, I'm not going to open or touch anything until the pressure is reduced on its own. I think its not a good kitchen gadget all in all. I love the quick lesson on fitting a shirt.

[@Chericherry4]

I love that short top on you!! Gives you longer looking legs! Very flattering!

[@lindastevenson8482]

Loved the sewing class!

[@marlenejensen8881]

Today was a boring ho-hum day till I watched your video. You made me laugh out loud. Thanks for the entertainment and sewing lesson rolled into one.

[@andreayucis2008]

Thank you for a refresher course as to how to cut out a top. It is very pretty! Always enjoy your videos. Thank goodness you didn’t get burned by your instant pot!!!

[@jdemaio]

Love your sewing room! Enjoy all your sewing tips!

[@nikkijohnson552]

I really enjoyed your talk-through troubleshooting as you made your blouse! Very educational….answering questions we all have! Thank you,

[@LikesQuilts]

I just started following you and you really crack me up! So much fun to watch you and learn too. When your Instant Pot says "L" that means it has already finished the cooking process and is holding on Low. It then starts counting back upwards, I think for up to thirty minutes or until you cancel the process. I love my IP and you will too if you give it a chance. Spaghetti is wonderful cooked in it and you don't have 20 gillion pots all dirty. And just think, I started following you for quilting/sewing tips and I'm giving you tips for cooking, LOL!!

[@Joy4650B]

Yes! I really appreciate the tips from my subscribers.

[@gwenfisher4135]

Omg.. Applesauce in instant pot.. hysterical.. you are a joy!!!

[@jacquelinesanderson655]

Thank you for the explanation to make it fit properly . It is so helpful for giving us the confidence to sew and believe we can do this👚

[@haleyjohnston3595]

Were you a teacher?? You do such a great job of taking things down to the basics and making this easy even for a beginner! Thank you for all you do! I learn sew much from you!!!!

[@Joy4650B]

I am not a teacher, but I always wanted to be from my youngest years.

[@EphanyasisOwleyes]

Right because people seem to forget their seam allowance

[@lenastiward8657]

A very enjoyable visit from you today - as always! I really look forward to them. Please don’t cut them down too much in your editing. Your top turned out great! Your snippets are always full of a little of this and a little of that! Sewing, cooking, life, humor, stories and fun! Thanks for being you! Don’t change a doggone thing!❤ love you just as you are!

[@Joy4650B]

Thank you Lena. How nice of you to say that.

[@micheledemike6342]

Top is so pretty! Would go so nice with maroon pants

[@patleo6481]

Oh my goodness, Joy. You gave me such a laugh. You would be a great stand-up comedian. I could just see that apple sauce spewing all over the place.

[@karenegeberg6007]

I always enjoy your sewing videos!

[@angiedenamur4531]

Joy you are a jewel, explaining instructions

[@frannythreads]

Hilarious IP story. Maybe "L" = low. I learned how to use my IP from KZbin, of course. You can bring the pressure up quicker if you use the saute feature to get pot, liquid, and food sort of preheated; then enter your settings for the pressurized cooking. If the recipe called for quick release which is what you did, it is a bad recipe. If it called for a delayed release it should have stated how long to wait before releasing pressure. Love all the sewing tips, thank you, again. You are a joy. P.S. we recently rediscovered shake n bake for pork chops...juicy, flavorful, and quick.

[@bestillandknow2986]

Ahhh Mrs Cuppa you’re hysterical....last chance applesauce, shoulder police & 52 weeks in a year not the dreaded 53. Thanks for the laughs!!!

[@lavadajenkins2955]

Morning Joy! I love the Dondi neckline, I use it a lot. I have the Fit Nice pants pattern and have never opened it. One of my plans for this year is to play with that pattern.

[@nikkijohnson552]

Your instant pot experience was a real surprise! I’ve had only good experiences with my pot! Applesauce is easy using stovetop. Don’t peel, cut in quarters, cook and then use a food mill to separate sauce from throwaway stuff.

[@Joy4650B]

Good to know!

[@shirleyleon7471]

glad you are not hurt, but smart!

[@gladysscott526]

I know why your name is Joy because you bring so much joy. God bless you and your family. Happy New Year 🎆 thank you for sharing your projects with us 🥰

[@pennyhanson2598]

Hi Joy, I’m glad you weren’t hurt by the scalding applesauce! I’ve made a couple of tops that have turned out extra wide at the shoulders, despite using the tape - it’s quite frustrating. A Vogue Catherine Tilton top had to be taken in three times until it was right, but it is still one of my favourites, despite the fight it put up! Happy New Year to you and Jerry! Kind regards from Penny in Liverpool 🇬🇧💕😊

[@annbarnidge2120]

Joy, that is beautiful! I think the collar almost looks better because it seems to stand up a tiny bit and stays in place.

[@annbarnidge2120]

Well, you would think I would learn to watch the entire video before commenting. I see that you made the same comment about the collar!☺️

[@nancygyles9123]

A fun and informative video, Joy. The top you wear while removing the fold over elastic is also a beauty. Very flattering on you; and the color! Would you mind telling what the pattern is? Thank you.

[@Joy4650B]

Yes, that is one of my very favorite RTW tops. I am going to copy it one of these days. I have to glue it to my shoulders to keep it from sliding backwards. The one I make won't do that.

[@lindaebersole4723]

So glad you are now safe from the "shoulder police" lol. Love my instant pot Joy. It is a really good idea to read through the booklet of instructions that comes with it though before using. It is not one of those things you can figure out as you go.😊

[@Joy4650B]

Oh, I did read "through" it. It is quite short.

[@shellystunkard2626]

It was really nice to watch the adjustments. I was amazed at how much better the top looked after you fixed the shoulders and put the waist dart in. Very cute and I love watching what you’re doing. Thanks for that

[@ashleymerkel1116]

Ohhh it’s beautiful Joy 😍… and you are perfect just the way you are !😘

[@nedawilmhoff3599]

A good independent hardware store is hard to find and with its weight in gold ( and you can find the large nuts to use as weights). The way you explain sizing, cutting out, etc just clicks in my brain. I’m like you, why did we think we were too big when we were young? I was skinny, just not a skinny as Twiggy or the popular girls. My prayer is that I can help my granddaughters see themselves as they truly are.

[@EphanyasisOwleyes]

When I soak for some people they think it's weird that I asked them what is their measurement from their shoulder to their waist or shoulder to hip it makes sense

[@elainelott9644]

That applesauce story was hilarious !!!!! So sorry you had such a mess !!!! I would have done the same thing !!!

[@bigfamilyaffair]

Thank you for the last few minutes of your story about the Instapot. It just made me laugh! We have one but I don't know how to use it because I refuse to learn how to use it. I've always been afraid of those pressure cookers but my MIL gave me one and it sat on a shelf never to be used, true story. Thank you for all the sewing tips, I learn so much from you.

[@EphanyasisOwleyes]

I saw the title of this and thought you were on another diet plan. I just heard the story and am laughing. Needless to say, I do Not have an instant pot. Nor do I want one. Enjoyed the fitting lessons.

[@mecraftytoo]

Thank you for the reminder, I remember when we made that Dondi neckline from the diby pattern and i’ve added this video to my saved tips from Joy, folder, I sometimes spend a whole evening just going through my Joy tips videos, I’ve really learned such a lot from you, thank you so much. That top is so pretty, wish we had some better fabric shops where I live, buying online is a bit pot luck really, I like to feel the fabric before buying. x

[@gailmartinez830]

Love the shorter version and the fit is marvelous ,taking notes on this one as well as others.. I’m trying to retrain my mind on this stuff,you are a excellent teacher, I’m with you on the instant pot not really comfortable using it.. my mom had used a pressure cooker and not sure what happened it blew up we had it on the cabinets ,ceiling ,floor there wasn’t a dry spot anywhere ..it was a total mess and she never used it again!! So glad you didn’t get burned.. thank you for sharing .. keep teaching us and love your stories and experience’s ❤️

I really enjoyed this video! There were lots of laughs at yourself which made it very comical. Thanks for bringing so much fun to this one. You had a very strange weekend but it made for a wonderful time for those of us watching you. You also made it very easy to understand your process for making a top simple and easy to try if new to fitting a pattern.

[@carolinegalliher5229]

Oh Joy, I am so glad that you are ok from making your applesauce. I bet that was really scary, but watching you tell the story, well i almost peed myself. Thank you for making me smile on a Monday morning.😂🤣

[@LeAnnRN]

Thanks for the tutorial on measuring. I am impatient so I just start cutting then get mad when it doesn't fit. I'm going to do better on my next garment! And the instant pot - lol - l've never had anything spew from the steam vent. (Maybe the pot was too full?) And yes, the time on the directions is only for time under pressure. The quick release on the steam vent is to prevent over cooking. Some say "natural release" which gives the food more cook time. I love the sauté setting. I put some avocado oil in, let it get hot, add chopped onions, carrots, celery, peppers, zucchini, squash and sauté it all up with whatever meat and make taco meat, or soups or whatever. All done in one pan, less dishes. And I have meals for work all week.

[@Joy4650B]

Thank you Leann. I used the Saute' to brown pork chops, but I didn't think it got very hot.

[@LeAnnRN]

@@Joy4650B Mine has the option to push the sauté button 3 times for high medium and low. I probably had it over 2 years before I knew that was an option!

[@SewManyThings]

Oh my goodness Joy! Your applesauce story was absolutely priceless! I rewound it and watched it again!! Holy smokes! I know it wasn’t funny while it was actually happening but your story about the event sure had me cracking up! When you started in about the long tongs you used I knew it was going to be good! LOL And then your Yellowstone reference was hilarious!! You are just too funny!😂 That would have made an amazing “I Love Lucy” episode if they would have had Instant (anything but “Instant”🤣) Pots back then! Can’t you just see it?!? Joy you are a gifted story teller my friend! Oh and your lounge gown is darling! I followed along when you were doing that sew along but I don’t remember seeing that particular one. I love it! And you’re so clever the way you fixed/changed the binding on the neckline👍🏼👍🏼 See you on your next Snippets😘

Thanks for the lesson on how to measure the pattern and yourself... Mine never worked and I could never understand why... Now you teach to remember the ease.... That was my problem.... Thank you very much... I am so glad you did not burn, yes the mess one gets if you don't work the pressure cooker correctly is terrible, almost the whole kitchen is covered, even the roof...

[@narelleworks8448]

I love your fabric logic.

[@GrandmaJoy1]

I have used a pressure cooker a lot in my life and know from experience that you always have to let it set awhile before you can release the pressure gauge. I haven't had one blow up but have come close. Don't care for the new electronic versions. I use my crock pot to make things like applesauce or apple butter. Much more user friendly to me. Love the Dondi top!

[@LindaH69]

Hi Joy You made my day. My first pressure cooker when ever the recipe says fast release, I carefully put the pot in a sinkful of cold water for the fast drop. Many recipes say drop of own accord in other words remove from heat and let it slowly release. I got rid of this pot because being aluminum it was said to be unhealthy. Bought lagostina stainless steel pressure cooker and the instructions were like yours. I was suppose to release it manually by pulling out pressure rocker. Tried with gloves on. No way. Too scary. Followed my previous cookers instructions and put in cold water. I have had the spraying, sputtering out of split chickpeas if I cook 2 cups over just one cup. Usually I throw a tea towel on top and turn down heat. I think I will keep my regular pressure cooker which I understand a bit better.

[@judyscicchitano7906]

Amazing Joy! I really like your top shorter using that fabric! Great tutorial i learned a lot💗

[@katealtschuler2880]

Watching you fit that top was like a light bulb turning on. Every knit is different and each garment is going to take tweaking to get the fit right because each knit fabric will stretch differently unlike a woven. I can't just take my Sure Fit Designs blueprint and make a knit without adjusting the fit as you go. Baste the seams, try on, adjust, baste again etc. Do you ever get a satisfactory mannequin that imitates your shape? I wonder if that would have saved some time and effort using the form to test the fit and seeing where the shoulders were before attaching the sleeves.

[@Joy4650B]

I have a very expensive manniken that was promised to be exactly like me. Ha ha! Hardly. They can get the circumferences close but not the heights and the uneven shoulder and hip. At least the manniken I got. Shoulders are hard too. They come only one way.

[@annelancaster2625]

Mrs. B. you fabulous gift has arrived. Yesterday to be exact, and it is NICE. I have to fill you in on what has been going on here. I have a plan for fabric already but, Friday night was spent at the hospital. Bill, had what I thought might be a heart attack. So 911 at 9 @ night. No attack but still in chest pain. So I spent night in recliner. Hubby still in some discomfort. I went home and cleaned up. When I got back he had been transferred to Heart Hospital and heavily medicated. When they approached him he became violent. So…. Anyway the MDs had agreed to keep him another night. Observation. Well at 9:00 were going home. “We can do anything we want done as out patient”. So off we went. He slept thru the night until 4. It is now 11:26 at night of 1-8-23. But was I tired. He is sound to sleep. So today was the first day to really look at your wonderful gift. Just asking for your prayers. No more pain. By 2-28-23 he will be in a locked facility. So your lovely gift has been put away for now. So bye for now. Just also pray for me. ❤️☝️😢👍🤠Glo from Bullard, Tx.
