[@carynscheffer6299]

Joy, I love you! You are a kick in the pants! I've been sewing clothing since I was 15 and I'm now 60! I know your tricks and tips myself. So watching you is pure entertainment. You have a joyful spirit and have the perfect name! Thank you for your contribution to the home sewing community.

[@sewlovemydogs]

The fit as you say Joy are a fabulous fit, AND the fabric on your top is the perfect match. Love watching your channel Joy. ❤️

[@AnitabyDesign]

I just love you, Joy! You have me laughing so much. Really enjoy watching you sew. Those pants look so good on you. Dance girl! 💕💕💕

[@debbiesnyder762]

I’ve been sewing for about 53 years now since I learned in 4-H when I was 12. For the first time last week I sewed 2 backs and fronts together. I held them up and they looked like something a bow legged person would wear. Hahaha I’m so glad I’m not the only one!!! Love that pattern

[@mrgarner4796]

You know, I think we all have done that at least once. LOL

[@celarasmith8030]

I've sewn leggings that way but never thought of doing pants that way. Never even occurred to me. MIND BLOWN! I love your outfits. So cute.

[@garycottinoandchericottino5719]

Cheri here…bless your heart….I need to get on the stick and make some new pants. It much more fun to sew with someone, so…I will replay your video when making my pants. Thanks for the company. Keep the cute outfits coming..love it❤️

[@mrgarner4796]

Great idea!

[@garycottinoandchericottino5719]

Nancy, do you just love Joy….? Sew with her any day.

[@mrgarner4796]

@@garycottinoandchericottino5719 Joy is so 'down to earth' like a friend down the street you could call and say 'stop by for a coffee'. I feel like I know her. She just makes my day!! I don't have that pattern but I am sure I can find one in my 'stash'. When I perfect the fitting of it I will put the video on and 'Sew with Joy'. 🌼

[@helenr.2184]

Loved the tip about using the elastic for a better fit in the waist. Thank you‼️😊

[@victoriahannah1633]

Joy, I always struggled with hems until you showed how to iron in the hem first and then finish off the edges. Now it works out so much easier and the hem lays flat and the steam a seam is a game changer also. For my dress pants I still prefer a hand sewn hem but for casual pants I like sewing machine hem. With your tutorials and Glenda of SFD Im really getting a lot better with my pants making. I’ve actually been reviewing SFD on using my body blue print with store patterns. I love the fabric you got for those pants and they & the top look great on you.

[@sweetp1015]

I love the tip about steaming before serging. Loved this video and looking forward the tops video. Glad you back home for a bit. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Because I’m sure your knowledge is extensive.

Hello 👋how are you doing?

[@Maga-Muffin.59]

Joy, I thoroughly enjoyed watching your videos. You answered a lot of questions I had about making pants. You made me smile and giggle with your dancing at the ironing board. You do a great Ironing Board Shuffle! Also I watch Vivmom and I was about to go through her videos for the pants pattern she uses but, you answered that question. I learned about a clapper and how to measure a rise so I can make pants fit. I also learned a new saying, “Hot Forgets, Cool remembers”. Thank you for your video. I also have subscribed to your channel and can’t wait to do your sew along!

[@Joy4650B]

Thank you Maureen. I'm so happy you like my videos.

Very nice Joy. Love the blouse. Those colors look very pretty on you. Take care

[@sandravanlankvelt7975]

Wow I just found your site on YT and good grief you are fantastic love your sewing info and your comedy. I never thought about sewing the crotch together from the back to the front I like that idea for sure makes it so much quicker and nicer. Loved the elastic around the waist as well very slick idea and it creates a custom fit over the backside and in the crotch area. GREAT IDEA!!! Thank you very much for your tips and tricks. God's blessings to you.

I've also made those trousers 7 times, (you can tell I'm from the UK). I put an elastic cuff on the hem and also use a 1" elastic around the waist to help them fit as I'm only 5ft and short in the body. They are so comfortable. Keep up the good work Joy, love your videos

[@mollysmith6055]

You are such a fun teacher, Joy. Thank you for showing the pants fitting, you make it look so easy. I don't have that exact pattern but I do have many that are similar. For months I've been on a quilt jag but it sure would be nice to have some new slacks.

[@roxanneross1574]

Hi my friend. When you talked about how you like to iron your hymns on your dresses it reminded me of my sister Joanne wedding dress. My poor mom said every time she looked at Joannes wedding picture she didn’t iron the hem of that dress. So now whenever I look at the picture I see my wonderful sister in her beautiful wedding dress and I hear she didn’t iron him in her dress like I told her to. So yes your mother‘s voice be heard every time you forget to press your clothing. It’s kind of watching you do those beautiful pans.

[@roxanneross1574]

Dont you love auto correct for your spelling. I see that it has hymn and him instead of the correct spelling, dont iron eather of these it just would not be kind🙁

[@veemercer1698]

Absolutely excellent video on pants! I love how you included the common female tummy and uneven hip/waist issues and how to manage the pattern for our own bodies.

You did a phenomenal job on those slacks. Very nice and professional looking. Thank you for this tutorial! ❤️

[@dwighthill4548]

Inseam. Joy you are so much fun. That’s a great pattern for pull on pants. Hate altering patterns but love the quick and easy sewing afterward. So convenient to just make the same pattern over and over in different colors and fabrics. Have a great day.

[@angelajackson6801]

Hi Joy. Loved your video and you’ve inspired me to dig out my New Look pattern and make some more. The way I mark the wrong side of my fabric (if it looks like the right side) is to stick a little coloured dot that I got from the stationers on each piece on the inside. That way it doesn’t mark my fabric. I’ve got all different colours. Please keep your videos coming, I love them.

That’s going to be a lovely outfit, Joy! One of the things I really like about your garments is that the proportions are spot-on. I’ve been sewing as long as you, and I still struggle at times with tops and/or bottoms being a bit too large or droopy - wearable, but not that smooth put-together look. Very, very nicely done :)

[@lizm4557]

You're a hoot. Love your sense of humor! I've never heard od a 3 way mirror that hangs on a door. Where can I get one? By the way the 1st pair of pants I sewed together, I sewed 2 backs together and 2 fronts together. No wondered they didn't fit well when I tried them on!!! Ha!

@@Joy4650B thanks Joy I remember now the way that you showed marking the waist line with a marker at the elastic line. It was not sure fit designs but the other lady with the stretch sewing and very easy style changes. Something else! I’ve been watching your sessions for some time now. Forgive me for being personal, but I’m a little worried that you may be ignoring a medical issue. Your tummy has become noticeably distended of late while the rest of you is staying the same. This may just be your normal body reactions to life but it seems more noticeable. I don’t mean to pry. Take care Joy. Your such a loving and giving person, I love all the videos you share. You are like a friend coming to visit. Kind regards, Gill.
