New Plan, New Patterns, New Fabric, New Makes

[@sheilamurphree7037]

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.

[@jau2552]

YES YES always show us everything fabric - closeup requested please.

[@lindahousley1072]

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.

[@Joy4650B]

Thank you Linda. I will keep making the videos as long as time permits. I enjoy doing them.

[@ZeldaSews]

Joy, blame it on Style Arc. I don't like the partial shirt tuck on me because of my belly. It looks good on you.❤

[@priscillaharrington9844]

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

[@sheilastamps853]

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

[@BFF-qr3qj]

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.

[@MsDeeEmCee]

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

[@kathydeel4780]

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

[@nancyhurt7145]

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

[@ZeldaSews]

Your blue top came out very nice.❤

[@txtrish]

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

[@maryflynn1951]

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

[@dijones9217]

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

[@alicesews8909]

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.

[@janegilson1886]

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

[@terrilee6849]

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!

[@Joy4650B]

How wonderful Terrilee. Thank you so much for your sweet compliment and for subscribing. Let me know what you would like me to talk about.

[@marybogar5981]

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

[@barbarameehan113]

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.❤❤❤

[@Joy4650B]

I am so inspired by you Barbara. Going through cancer treatment but still having such a great attitude. Yes, start sewing again. It is so relaxing and enjoyable to me, and you get a lot of new clothes. I pray you will have a total recovery very soon.

[@shellystunkard2626]

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

[@donnafisher2368]

Style arch are great patterns

[@sherrylesina7224]

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

[@carolynvines1044]

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

[@jenandreb]

I enjoy your snippets!

[@scottydog6539]

Love the quilt behind you.

[@elaine1587]

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

[@rggonzales6248]

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

[@shariz2998]

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

[@maryflynn1951]

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

[@jenandreb]

I love the top made from the panel!

[@SwedishCowgirl7]

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

[@bettygadd2333]

That longer top looks so good on you!

[@leticiamachado1514]

Joy you have a beautiful voice Love it 🥰

[@jau2552]

Yes more please.

[@Angelwool]

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

[@Joy4650B]

I'm not sure what pattern I used for the pink/black/white dress.

[@donnahixon3643]

I think the blue top turned out great.

[@barbaraanne2136]

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!

[@gailh3048]

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.

[@qormi1000]

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

[@SewManyThings]

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👍🏼

[@gertrudewelsh781]

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

[@yeseniagomez8864]

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

[@cherylross4238]

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)

[@donnafisher2368]

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

[@carolynreed2688]

I do love the Lani top.

[@rhodamurphy2097]

Very ingenious use of the panel fabric. Very stylish

[@Cotton4ME-vu5um]

FABULOUS blouse of creative design thought 🧵

[@joanwalker1884]

Love that blue top!

[@JustMeAndMyFabric]

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

[@Mary-9j]

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!

[@EphanyasisOwleyes]

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

[@cleanqueen75]

Hobby Lobby frequently has all these fabrics 40% off. Great buys!

[@allisonkirkwood1449]

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

[@jocelyncross4585]

I love that blue top.

[@nettapogue711]

Nice pattern you showed on phone

[@suedwyer6694]

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

[@louiseeiffel1014]

or stripes

[@letaterrell4526]

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.

[@Joy4650B]

Thank you Leta for your comment. I never know if I talk TOO MUCH or not enough. I could talk to you all day!

[@EphanyasisOwleyes]

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

[@Joy4650B]

I don't get notified of your videos Char. Are you still making them?

[@nancywilliams7833]

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

[@lorimiller8902]

Your top is adorable Joy!

[@lorimiller8902]

The blue one!

[@scottydog6539]

Love those tops

[@carolynfulton4060]

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

[@joannebanks2147]

Awesome to try new patterns Happy sewing 🪡 🧵 ✂️ 💓

[@GailDulay]

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

[@kaymccormick2279]

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.

[@kaymccormick2279]

I love the French tuck

[@gkhutchinson1284]

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

[@rosemariebenson3720]

🙏 you are all safe through this tornado weather.

[@barbarataylor857]

Wow, I love the panel blouse! You did a fantastic job on the lay out.

[@pamelafisher5274]

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

[@goinsewin163]

I like the top a lot

[@lucillemizuno671]

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

[@janieguerrero2288]

ohhh i love love that blouse, and yes its different one of a kind til we all make it

[@helensneddon3246]

Your top looks great

[@peggydid]

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

[@suek7086]

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!

[@terridrimel1056]

Enjoy the new top! It turned out very cute!

[@donnarichey144]

You make so many pretty tops. Thank you for sharing

[@jeancoody5993]

Its one of your best tops. The fabric was worth using. Looks cute and great quality.

[@EphanyasisOwleyes]

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

[@elainelott9644]

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 !!!!

[@EphanyasisOwleyes]

Oh I just got some fabric from Fabric Mart

[@joannebanks2147]

I like what you did with the border fabric Similar to that is kwik sew 4158 For wovens and you could use some of your cotton that are coordinating I have been watching those style videos I take what I like and disregard the rest. I only take note when it is something that is what I like to wear Keep sewing and doing you we love you Happy sewing God bless

[@beverleyleake7603]

I love the angle on the sleeveless top.👏

[@bevcote2357]

Joy this has been so very helpful. Thank you for discussing fabric types. I went to Hobby Lobby today and got a few woven cottons to make dresses with. Blessings.

[@SewManyThings]

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!).

[@a.guerra2139]

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!!!!!

[@Joy4650B]

Thank you. I agree. Women are wearing pillow cases with a hole in the top for their heads. LOL.

[@a.guerra2139]

@@Joy4650B Yup, they ARE pillowcases with holes for arms and your head! Heeheehee!!!

[@virginiakasselman5953]

Happy Monday Joy! If you know that you need the FBA, do you do that to the pattern before you pin the it together for a try on? I adore that asymmetrical blue striped fabric pattern!, ❤ Happy Sewing Virginia in Arkansas

[@Joy4650B]

Yes. I put the corrections into the paper, and then I try it on to see what other corrections it may need.

[@francesgiacobbe6821]

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

[@nikkijohnson552]

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!

[@helgawalley4597]

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.

[@peggyblackburn9981]

That panel top is very nice.

[@wandagordon6453]

Hey Miss Joy! Glad y’all are doing well! Love the new items you made! God bless y’all! 😀❤️

[@mlynncannon4188]

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

[@suetapp7122]

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

[@jenniferseelen1899]

Great snippets! Thank you!

[@SewManyThings]

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.

[@SconesAndTea]

The tops are adorable!!

[@deborahannreid5655]

Hi Joy! Thinking of you Hope you and yours are well and safe from tornadic activity. In thoughts and prayers. Love the videos. I would like to try making pants but I love quilting. I am happy when I quilt. Thank you!

[@scottydog6539]

Thank you for the info on the pattern company. I just ordered a pants pattern from them on Amazon.

[@gailmartinez830]

Love your new top!!always love your videos!!
