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.
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.
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.
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
I totally agree that pants should have creases in them. Otherwise they look unkempt to me and sloppy. I think the no crease "fashion look" came about, because people were too lazy to press the creases in, in my opinion. A tip I learned about setting the crease years ago (in the 60's) when I was making lots of poly double knit pants: to use a water/white vinegar mix and spray the crease area. Press with steam, let dry before moving. The crease will set pretty much permanent. I rarely had to touch up the crease with an iron again. I used about 25% vinegar. I usually used a Teflon sheet or silk press cloth to protect the fabric, because sometimes the iron might cause sheen on the fabric. I also folded my pant leg parts the same way you do; the crease will land in the correct vertical leg position when worn. Yours look good on you.
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❤️
@@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'. 🌼
I've been watching your videos for a long time and searched for your earlier blogs. You are at the same time very precise and entertaining. There is a series of books called "... for Dummies" in all kind of activities. You have already lots of good videos on sewing "your way" as you put it, why don't you write a video book on the subject? You are a very good teacher with humour and you have now more time than when you worked. You could do it in your RV. Looking forward to your next video.
Joy you are a hoot! I love those pants on you. My favourite part in the video is when you just threw your leg up on the table!! 🙊 lol I couldn't do that no matter what... your energy is amazing 👏
I just found your channel in my suggestion feed and I absolutely love your channel. It was such a delight to watch how you bring it all together so smoothly and easy to understand and with lots of happiness. You truly have a passion for sewing and it shows through. Definitely a new subscriber. Thank you for sharing your passion with us!
Just found you,love your style of sewing ,I am crooked on the opposite side higher right hip,and have the tummy ,and am 5'1, short never thought of sewing the pants and trying on with one leg great idea,idea, thoes green pants so much will go with that color,I have to have pockets in The side seam though.
Great video/tutorial. You are so right about "fit the shape you have". Anyways, How did you do the waistband? I don't think it was covered in the tutorial. Thanks.
A laser on your machine will keep your stitches straight, but your hemming trick is first rate. Love to watch you always, and the total outfit you made top and bottom is very nice. You should wear it again to give us a longer and closer look.
I love you Joy hahahha 💖 "NO touching material with iron ! Unless test is done !" And clapping it bang 💥 modern sewist if fast fashion don't know what is clapper or bees wax hahaha. You are joy to wach JOY . I love waching you ❤... you make me smile and laught meantime learning mass of things and see it done ✔ ♥.
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.
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🙁
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
Other question: Joy, if you bought a pair of jeans from the store and needed to hem them, would you turn them inside out and then fold them under and pin(or have a friend pin them), so you could sew that hem the length you want?
I always mark my fabric pieces ( to note the wrong side of the fabric) in the Seam Allowance ~ this way: never a concern for the tool ms marks coming through to the Right side. ( especially important with carbon paper marks!) Loved this pattern!
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!
Well many moons ago my grandmother bless her heart lived to be 101 1/2 years young she always stuck her hankie or kleenex in her cleavage in her bra LOL She never wore slacks until we teased her to try them and she was in her late 70's at that time. Well she had her slacks special made by a seamstress and made them without..... pockets!!! She didn't want the extra bulk. LOLOL the funny part is I do the same thing putting my kleenex in my cleavage. I took 5 years of sewing classes in junior high and high school and my 6th year I took tailoring. LOVED it. I still sew today (I won't mention my age...but I am way up there in numbers) I also have been a quilter for the last 20 plus years. We always learn new things and keep on sewing for sure. God's blessings to you Joy!!!
@@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.
I LOVE your channel!!!! I am going to try this pants. Have never made pants before. I am wondering if you have a recommendation for a skirt pattern that has a flat front waistband and elastic just in the back?
Thanks so much for the informative video. And WOW, I know your top isn’t finished yet, but you knocked this outfit out of the park. It looks amazing on you 😊
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!
Hi, GF, (girl friend) because that’s the way I feel about you. We are the same era and so glad I found you. These girls out there have no idea how to fit us MATURE women.
I made nuns cry when they tried to teach me how to make a pair of shorts - and I've never tried to make pants, again....so I'm hoping to give it another try - about 50 years after the first attempt.
Those pants fit you just perfectly. I have that pattern! I wish you would do a complete sew along on those and show us exactly what you do at the machine. Thanks for the video.
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.
Dear Joy, After spending two, or even more years now... just learning how to adjust commercial patterns so they fit in all the right places - I was ready to give up without ever really getting started. Sewing and pattern drafting never came naturally to me, because I hated math. So I relearned my equations, and the meaning of measure twice, cut once. Still I had problems! Don't know it all, but maybe someday. Today I bought the Lutterloh Golden Rule system to give me a head start on drafting. Tonight I searched TH-cam pattern reviews for the system. Bad fits? I'm sure you know what a Camel Toe is and why it happens. Too many of these Lutterloh pants show those fabric whiskers in the lady area. Too many tops and bottoms looked as if the girls were poured into their pretty cloths. The magic didn't happen because it was a super duper DiVinci inspired Golden Rule method pattern. Nope. Right now I am just so grateful to have spent my time with you and some of our other wonderful seasoned sewers, just learning Sweetie. You've been a Joy and shared so much. I've been an armchair sewer. Now I've got the tools and the know how to use them. Thank you! XOX
Yes. I totally understand. The Palmer and Pletsch fitting method has worked the VERY BEST of all of them for me. That combined with Surefit Designs gets me a marvelous fit. Our bodies change so much as we age. We have to know how to adjust the paper patterns.
@@Joy4650B Sweetie, please teach the girls how to hide their girls. Adjusting the length of the crotch curve is just as important as getting the waist to shoulder height proportions correct. BTW, Did you know that one of your male viewers was fishing for romance on your channel last week? A non-sewer to boot! I told him he was in the wrong community. Ha! My Lutterloh package arrived this morning. I will be delving into the math of it all today. Going to crack that DiVinci Code! xox
My steam a seam doesn't stay so I sew it anyway. It's called Heat and Bond...maybe it's not the same. Thank you Joy! I really like seeing you show how you do things. You make sewing more fun!!! 🤗 OH Joy! They look so nice on you!!!
I haven’t sewn for a few months so I haven’t watched for a while, but forgot how funny and informative you are! You have some great tips to follow. I especially like the elastic guide for the waist band. Also I see that your followers has expedentially grown! That’s so great!
This video was sooo informative!!! I really enjoyed your explanation about the hem and the steam a seam !!! I finally understand it !!! Thank you also for playing a short bit of that beautiful background 🎶!!! The material for your blouse was so pretty and such a perfect match!! 🥰 Thank you for all your teaching.....it was definitely appreciated 🙏!!!
Oh Joy you are so fun!! I love the pants! I'm going to have to get brave and make myself some clothes. Something I haven't done in a long time!! I have a tummy too, grrrr, and I also have the lovely back fat!! Thanks for a fun time! I also learned some nice tips!! God bless and keep you!!
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.
Mind blown…. Adjust each leg before sewing them together! I have one leg 1” shorter than the other following hip replacement surgery and this makes the legs hang differently which bugs me. But no more. Thank you 😊
Hey Joy, Enjoying your explanations of how to sew Your type of pants. Thank you for the tip; Hot forgets and cool remembers. I'm 62 this year and forget nouns as well. That seam on the inside of the leg is called the "Inseam". LOL My tip, if you forget to sew the inseam, no one will want you on their team.
@@franklinstephen3268 Hey Joy. Today, I am doing great! Embraced my age and let my hair go grey 6 years ago. Today I went and had a new colour of Grey applied. Marvelous! It got rid of all the yellow. Zoom on!
@@franklinstephen3268 LOL I'm laughing because I thought that you were Joy who I enjoy watching immensely, responding to my comment. I will give you a big hint where I hail from... HONK!
Haha... Headline - Michael Avenatti sentenced to 4 years for ... Stormy Daniels! That is the second time he's been found guilty. Last time was for trying to extort Nike!
Hi Joy great tute. Have you ever talked about your re-designed ironing board? I see a lot of quilters adapt their ironing boards. Do you use a "norma" l ironing board too. I can see how I would like a quilters ironing board when sewing.
First time I watched your show. I have immediately subscribed. I have basically the same figure and will be able to use your tips. Great show, I am going to watch your older videos.
Thank you Joy for sharing this tutorial with us. I now know how to fit my pants before sewing up all the seams. The information you shared was invaluable. My pants will fit perfectly from now on 😉👍🏽 .
Joy 🤩 I wish I lived near you! I’d love to sew with you! Gosh we would have fun 😂😂😂 but honestly you would be such a great student and I could be Elizabeth raise my hand 😂😂😂☝️😂😂 I love your videos and I need to try this pattern.
Love it Joy as always. Your such a caring and giving person always sharing your tips and warning of what not to do because you've made that mistake already 😂 GOD bless.
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.
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. ❤️
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! 💕💕💕

It is a rayon/poly twill suiting. A little stretch. VERY nice. I want more.
Hello 👋how are you doing?
I haven’t sewn for a few months so I haven’t watched for a while, but forgot how funny and informative you are! You have some great tips to follow. I especially like the elastic guide for the waist band. Also I see that your followers has expedentially grown! That’s so great!
This video was sooo informative!!! I really enjoyed your explanation about the hem and the steam a seam !!! I finally understand it !!! Thank you also for playing a short bit of that beautiful background 🎶!!! The material for your blouse was so pretty and such a perfect match!! 🥰 Thank you for all your teaching.....it was definitely appreciated 🙏!!!
I love you . Your pants looks beautiful. I will try that rubber band method to find my waist. It amazing how our waits changes as we get older.
I learn something new every time I watch you, Joy- love the pants! Sending you and Jerry love from NC!
Oh Joy you are so fun!! I love the pants! I'm going to have to get brave and make myself some clothes. Something I haven't done in a long time!! I have a tummy too, grrrr, and I also have the lovely back fat!! Thanks for a fun time! I also learned some nice tips!! God bless and keep you!!
It is called inseam
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.
Can you put pockets in these pants?
Mind blown…. Adjust each leg before sewing them together! I have one leg 1” shorter than the other following hip replacement surgery and this makes the legs hang differently which bugs me. But no more. Thank you 😊
Hey Joy, Enjoying your explanations of how to sew Your type of pants. Thank you for the tip; Hot forgets and cool remembers.
I'm 62 this year and forget nouns as well. That seam on the inside of the leg is called the "Inseam".
LOL My tip, if you forget to sew the inseam, no one will want you on their team.
@@franklinstephen3268 Hey Joy. Today, I am doing great!
Embraced my age and let my hair go grey 6 years ago. Today I went and had a new colour of Grey applied. Marvelous! It got rid of all the yellow. Zoom on!
@@franklinstephen3268 LOL I'm laughing because I thought that you were Joy who I enjoy watching immensely, responding to my comment.
I will give you a big hint where I hail from...
HONK!
@@franklinstephen3268 The weather is nearly perfect. So, no guess where I'm honking from?
Haha... Headline - Michael Avenatti sentenced to 4 years for ... Stormy Daniels!
That is the second time he's been found guilty. Last time was for trying to extort Nike!
@@franklinstephen3268 Hmm... Well this past winter we gave the Honk that was heard around the World! Does that help?
Hi Joy great tute. Have you ever talked about your re-designed ironing board? I see a lot of quilters adapt their ironing boards. Do you use a "norma" l ironing board too. I can see how I would like a quilters ironing board when sewing.
Thank you Joy. Great ironing tip for putting in creases. I love your videos. Watching from Australia ♥
All I can see is ironing, ironing, ironing. ..
What a great video, I need to make those pants now. Only just found you, but looking forward to watching more of your videos x
What size did you cut out? I also have swayback and menopause belly
First time I watched your show. I have immediately subscribed. I have basically the same figure and will be able to use your tips. Great show, I am going to watch your older videos.
That is an attractive combination of fabrics. I like green. Enjoyed the tutorial. You make me smile.
Ive learned a few things in just the first ten minutes….new subbie here thats looking forward to watching more of your videos. God bless! 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Thank you Joy for sharing this tutorial with us. I now know how to fit my pants before sewing up all the seams. The information you shared was invaluable. My pants will fit perfectly from now on 😉👍🏽
.
Joy your a trip!
This brought back memories. Learned that “tube” method in the 1970’s when double-knit became popular.
Joy 🤩 I wish I lived near you! I’d love to sew with you! Gosh we would have fun 😂😂😂 but honestly you would be such a great student and I could be Elizabeth raise my hand 😂😂😂☝️😂😂 I love your videos and I need to try this pattern.
Love it Joy as always. Your such a caring and giving person always sharing your tips and warning of what not to do because you've made that mistake already 😂 GOD bless.
Wow, the pants turned out great. Do you want to make a pair for me? Keep up the sewing school. Nice dance. Bye
