I have been working on a pair of pants. I went back and watched your pants videos you did with Philly and even did my fishbowl with foil. I think I almost have the fit right. I really appreciate all your great instruction. I look forward to each and every one of your videos. ❤
Loved your video. The blue blouse is lobster and the color is great on you. I suggest the you put some elastic in the sleeves to hug you a little. I just tore a tendon in my foot. Have to elevate it. It’s so painful to walk. So I’m going to piece some quill blocks by hand. ❤
Joy- Blue top is a very pretty color. The fabric has a lot of structure, which causes the armhole back to stick out. Pattern is so cute, try a drapier fabric.
I think your top is cute, plus it looks good on you. Jeep owners give other jeep owners little rubber duckies. I don't know the back story. But it is fun. Spreads the joy.
Hello Joy. I like your top. I can’t believe how well the pants match. It looks good. I don’t think the arm hole looks bad. No one would ever notice. Love you, Liz
I have made a couple tops that had short sleeves They had a facing so you couldn't see the wrong side of fabric Then same with the bow just the curve part was cut 2 sew together and turned So no white side does that make sense Maybe a lighter cotton lawn would work as well It's very nice i really like it I may look for the pattern Happy sewing Joy Take care
Joy: Your new top fits fine. I suggest that in cooler months of Fall, a simple 3/4 sleeve tee-shirt might be so cute; don't worry about the sleeve opening--use it to your advantage. I am happy to see your video.
Hi Joy! When you have printed fabric that might show the white side, just make facings instead of hemming the sleeves and the "tails." That will also save you from having to do those tedious sharp curved hems on the tails and keep the blue side showing even in a wind storm ;) Thanks for the project. I like it a lot. Stay safe.
I just called my Hobby Lobby to see if the patterns are on sale. They weren't on sale. I hope ours doesnt discontinue their patterns. I like the blue shirt!
Put a little facing inside the sleeve openings. I do not the unfinished inside of sleeves either. Or raw edges in an unlined jacket. I either have to do French seams or a Hong Kong finish.
Hey Miss Joy, you’re a hoot! Love your top! Glad y’all are doing well. Hope y’all have a wonderful July 4 th. Praying for a safe trip home! God bless y’all! 😀❤️🙏🏻🇺🇸
Hi Joy good to see you. I like your blouse and don't worry about the sleeves they are fine. Thank you for the two sewing sites on UA-cam. Your always giving good information and instructions.
I've bought stuff from your Amazon - it always looks like it kicks me into 'regular' Amazon shopping. Hope it works and you get the commission. That's fun about the Jeep thing. I have S8587~ older patterns were BY FAR so much better quality. That big giant chicken pin cushion is adorable! Did you make it? Cute Newlook patterns I love that jacket 6711 too. I wish we had a Hobby Lobby near me. Joy, that white top with the heart on it is soooo cute on you! I watched your pants makes videos a while back, and learned so much about making pants fit from you. I think i even bought a special measuring tool that you suggested. I have really learned soooo much from you. Can't thank you enough. I like that side tie top on you! I'm going to make one - I have some lightweight cotton lawn that might be perfect for it. I think I would like longer sleeves too. If you have more fabric add some bands to lengthen the sleeves - maybe it will help! Please show us how to tie a bow. I confess - I'm one of those people who can't make a bow look good.
You know what looks good on your body and the blue blouse sleeves do gape. I watch several UK videos and recently found Jan Howell like you did. You’re unique and fun though….nice to see you today!
If I have to throw it in the trash I would consider wearing it around the house first. You’ll probably find the sleeves will sort themselves out after a few washes as the fabric may relax and drape more.
I think it looks good. It certainly isn’t bad like you imagine it is. No one cares if you can occasionally see a bit of white when you move your arms and it’s a lovely fabric
Hahahaha love it " Water outlet Valve" As soon as you said Jan I wondered if you were talking about Jan Howell's channel. I found her during covid lockdowns as I had a bit of free time on my hands 😂 All jokes aside she is great. Top is pretty that's for sure.
I love you in the pink rose top, and olive pants! Oh, I think I have a great way to make it easy for the blue ties! Just fold them together inside out. Then turn them right side out, and iron, done! Then you will have blue on both sides! What do you think? Happy Fourth of July! 🎉
Ducks are part of the jeep family. Duck Duck Goose is now Duck Duck Jeep!. They have a jeep wave?? I know my husband had a Jeep and they wave to each other. My granddaughter was 4-5and my husband had to take her for a ride every time we had her so she could find the jeeps and wave!
I really like the front of your top with the tie on the side but I’m like you on the sleeves. My husband was looking for me the other day. So I came inside and he asked me where I was. I told him the dogs had to go out and open up their water outlet valve and drain some fluids out of their bodies. lol. If you are learning to sew pants then seriously look at the series Joy did on making pants. I think it is about 4 -5 UA-cam videos. Very good and so simple to follow. The best sloper I found for getting my crotch fit is the one from Surefit designs. It fits me perfect from waist, high hip, down to my low hip. I do have to taper my legs in some.
@@Joy4650B I’m in process now of doing a trouser muslin using the TopDownCenterOut method. They look so good in the front but I need help with the back.
Do you have enough fabric left to cut a sleeve band (bias) or, reshape armhole (a la Peggy Sagers) an set in a sleeve? The top is beautiful and deserves to be worn!
Halo dear. I went to Hobby Lobby and did the damage of lots of patterns. 😅. We like you a lot. My husband and Me. Happy Forth of July. It will be 120 here. Sunday I will turn 80. I am having a big party. With 120. Pray for the air not to stop. 😂
@@Joy4650B Thank you very much. I am hope for the air will work OK. We get use to but we always have the air in authomatic. I love your channel. I learn many things. And your personality is fantastic. Happy Fourth of July.
Here in San Antonio the Jeep people all seem to have a few dozen little ducks on their dashboards. Don't know why. Guess it's a Jeep thing. Evidently your mystery donor felt sorry for you that you didn't have any little ducks, and shared. That was really nice. Sad that you don't like the blue blouse. I think it looks really good on you and a great color for you. I think the little grown on cap sleeves look good and don't think the armhole or your arm look "odd". Not sure what you're seeing that we don't see from this viewpoint. So glad you rescued the bow blouse.
Joy, how do you mount your quilts on the angled ceiling? I have a ceiling like that in my sewing room and would like to hang things on it too. Thank you!
I bought teeny tiny straight pins. They had a flat head on them like a nail. They hammer in super easy and you can't even tell they were ever there when you remove them. I put one in each corner and then a few around the center. The center will sag otherwise.
Joy do you ever order cotton fabric for quilting from Fabric Mart? Where do you order from for quilting? You haven’t worked on a quilt in forever! I miss that in your videos!
Joy this is Chelvy you and I took the same class last year from the expo, I think I passed you guys in Dallas do you have a white Jeep that was attach to the RV.? In my heart I felt it was you guys.
Have you considered making your blue top sleeveless? That would eliminate the pulling and gaping that happens when you move your arms forward. I think the look of the top is fine, but I think it would bug me if the sleeves kept gaping. Just a thought. 😄
Your pretty new blue blouse is absolutely “good enough” to keep and wear! In fact I think it is darling!!😀
Cute top.Have you considered adding a simple cuff to the sleeve.
I have been working on a pair of pants. I went back and watched your pants videos you did with Philly and even did my fishbowl with foil. I think I almost have the fit right. I really appreciate all your great instruction. I look forward to each and every one of your videos. ❤
HA! I've also rescued makes first deemed not worthy enough to wear then surprising enjoyed wearing! Its a cute top :)
Looks very nice Joy! You do such great work! You can fix anything!❤
Thanks for the video, Joy! Great information on fitting pants. 😊. Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I would not worry about other people. No one I knows looks at the fabric at the back of my shirts. I like the blouse.
Loved your video. The blue blouse is lobster and the color is great on you. I suggest the you put some elastic in the sleeves to hug you a little.
I just tore a tendon in my foot. Have to elevate it. It’s so painful to walk. So I’m going to piece some quill blocks by hand. ❤
Another subscriber just fell from a ladder and broke her foot. OUCH! I pray you heal quickly.
Joy- Blue top is a very pretty color. The fabric has a lot of structure, which causes the armhole back to stick out. Pattern is so cute, try a drapier fabric.
You may be right. Same pattern different fabrics change everything.

Thank you. I will certainly make some facings for the bow ends. Great idea!
Love the top! Now you have to make a video teaching us how to make that nice bow as well!🌷🌷💓💓

My closet has lots of 3/4 sleeve tees. My favorite. I decided I better try to make some different looking garments for while. Thanks for your comment.

That will also save you from having to do those tedious sharp curved hems on the tails and keep the blue side showing even in a wind storm ;) Thanks for the project. I like it a lot. Stay safe.

I just called my Hobby Lobby to see if the patterns are on sale. They weren't on sale. I hope ours doesnt discontinue their patterns. I like the blue shirt!
Yes! I did the topper challenge with you! So much fun. 😊
If I had some spare fabric I might have tried to line the bow portions? That could make it too thick to tie maybe! Colour is great on you Joy!
Put a little facing inside the sleeve openings. I do not the unfinished inside of sleeves either. Or raw edges in an unlined jacket. I either have to do French seams or a Hong Kong finish.
Yes, I thought of that when it was too late. Great idea though.
I made 6577, it is very close fitting. But still really beautiful .
Way to persevere and make the top definitely wearable!
You are a riot! I really like the blue bow blouse.
Hey Miss Joy, you’re a hoot! Love your top! Glad y’all are doing well. Hope y’all have a wonderful
July 4 th. Praying for a safe trip home! God bless y’all! 😀❤️🙏🏻🇺🇸
If you added a sleeve facing would you like it? It’s very nice on you.
Viv has some really good vintage patterns

I will show how to tie a bow in my next video -- IF I can remember. I need to make a note real quick.
@@Joy4650B Thanks! I'll definitely watch that!!
So happy to see you Joy! Maybe a bit of fold over elastic in the sleeves would help draw it in. Maybe? :)
The floral heart tee is so pretty!
Hello Joy !!
You know what looks good on your body and the blue blouse sleeves do gape.
I watch several UK videos and recently found Jan Howell like you did. You’re unique and fun though….nice to see you today!
Cute bow and blouse. The sleeves are fine but if you want to change them, place some elastic on the edges so it will gather slightly.
Came here to say that a narrow elastic through the sleeve hem might do the trick! @joybernhardt
I thought of elastic. I tried pleats. Decided to just wear it as is for now.
If I have to throw it in the trash I would consider wearing it around the house first. You’ll probably find the sleeves will sort themselves out after a few washes as the fabric may relax and drape more.
Love your black floral top, and the blue one is great, too!
Yes, it is cute enough to not worry about the sleeves!!!! Fun video, thanks Joy!
A topper or two are nice to keep in the car in case you end up going into a restaurant fir an unplanned meal or go to the movie!
I think it looks good. It certainly isn’t bad like you imagine it is. No one cares if you can occasionally see a bit of white when you move your arms and it’s a lovely fabric

I think the SFD legs are too wide too. More of a trouser, I guess.

Oh Joy… U look fabulous in your new top… very pretty… don’t be so hard on yourself.
Love your heart shirt!
I think the arm holes will continue to bother you. Can you add additional fabric to make the sleeves longer or maybe a cuff?
Hi Joy, maybe if you take the back of the sleeve up in the shoulder seam it will hug you arm closer without down sizing the armhole much.
What's the pattern for the bow blouse
Love that top on you. Bless you & hubby.
Joy you are so funny! Top looks fine to me.
The blouse is nice.
I think the blouse looks really nice. Maybe after a wash or two it'll have better drape.
Nice blue outfit!
Home? You look good…great heart shirt!
Right over left then left over right. Square knot for your bow.
Yes. Always top over bottom.
Do you have enough fabric left to cut a sleeve band (bias) or, reshape armhole (a la Peggy Sagers) an set in a sleeve? The top is beautiful and deserves to be worn!
I may try that, but I left the fabric at the other house.
Iwant to learn how to make pants. they are hard to find here where I live with all the stores closing.
Pants are so easy to make. I have done several videos on that.

My late sister was a Jeep owner and she LOVED “ducking” other jeeps! I keep one of her ducks in my car even though I drive a Toyota!
Joy!😊
I just look at those high prices on patterns, when they are on sale!
A duck on your Jeep means you have been ducked. It’s a Jeep thing. ❤️
Subarus get mooded. I got a little cow.
Yep. We have Jeeps and it’s a great feeling to find a duck on your Jeep handle! ❣️
Viv should be the model for patterns
Totally agree on that Char.
Does your ironing board work better for you that way?
WHAT way? Didn't realize my ironing board had a special way.
May I ask where you got the heart Svg ? Oh no another granny top!
Are you calling me new blue woven top with the bow a "granny top"? Heart SVG is from ETSY.
Joy do you ever order cotton fabric for quilting from Fabric Mart? Where do you order from for quilting? You haven’t worked on a quilt in forever! I miss that in your videos!
I am working on a quilt. And I just hung another one up. Hope to feel good enough to make another video soon. Jerry and I both have had COVID.
Did you decide on a name for your doll? ❤️I’ve followed Jan Howell for a very long time. Yes she quilts and makes many things. Very talented lady
I loved one of the names for each doll. One was Amy Rose and the other was Abigail. Now, to just remember them. LOL
Joy this is Chelvy you and I took the same class last year from the expo, I think I passed you guys in Dallas do you have a white Jeep that was attach to the RV.? In my heart I felt it was you guys.
Hi Chelvy. Of course I remember you. Our jeep is red.
Have you considered making your blue top sleeveless? That would eliminate the pulling and gaping that happens when you move your arms forward. I think the look of the top is fine, but I think it would bug me if the sleeves kept gaping. Just a thought. 😄
I like side ties.
Yeah! Cute top! Enjoy it. Hugs! Peggy
I think it looks cute on you 😊
make a facing piece for the bow area and then won't see white side
The blue top looks great on you but maybe you would like it better made out of a fabric with more drape.
Joy could you not put a folded band on the arms of
your top
Don't worry about the armholes they're fine if anybody's looking and they're weird
use some ribbing on the pretty blue blouse.
Hey glad to see you! I am first in the comments!❤
Water outlet valve, 😂😂❤
Try hemming the sleeves more
Your top is such a pretty shade of blue. You are too hard on yourself. The blue pants you found in your closet are perfect.
My doctor took me off Benadryl!
My doctor just told me yesterday to not take Benadryl. He said it is too strong. I sure didn't know that. I only take one at a time.
The sleeves are shorter than your other blouse
Well then I must be gargantuan LOL I'm 5 ft 8
5' 8" is a WONDERFUL height to be. That is what my daughter is.
You should donate it and not throw in the trash if you really don’t like it.
Is your sewing room in the basement Joy? With respect the sound is pretty terrible.
I was about to write a similar post. The echo in the room makes it hard to listen to and I would love to hear what Joy is presenting to us
No basement, but it is a really big room, and I have moved 2/3 of my stuff to the other house. Sorry for the echoes.
You can't see underclothes!
