Hi Joy: I just can't get enough of watching you. You have turned me on to fabric with flowers ... Thanks again for all your time and wise words and teachings
I just love your personality! I stumbled across one of your videos and here I am an hour later, still watching, when I should be sewing 😳😂😂. Subscribed❤️❤️
That little gal that makes her own patterns, my oldest sister that passed away last year could study something for around a hour or whatever it took for her to grasp how to make it.....go home and make the thing from memory 2 weeks later! She was amazing! I miss my big sissy!
Joy, I have the same gapping in the front neck and saw this video and went aha! Now I know how to make it fit better. I also have the same issue with adding front waist to hem darts. Especially with cotton. I also noticed I have a sway back and sway back. Thanks to you in helping fit my patterns. I am getting better at it and keep perfecting Orr. It is a challenge but can be more fun than frustrating. Thanks again.
Yes, Viv is a superstar. I don't even try to keep up with her monthly number of makes. However, I bet we are pretty close in the number of patterns we own and how much fabric is in our stash.
You're just a cuppa fun. Love all you had to offer. Love your patterns and your fabrics. Well done. I'm from Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean and i watch Peggy on Silhouette Patterns. Hope you have a blessed day.
Well I learned something new! Don’t chop the corners. I thought you had to, now I know there’s a better way. Thanks so much for that. I’m just going to have to break down and buy a sure fit design. I’m a classic size 16, so most, patterns fit me right out of the envelope. But not always. Besides it would be a learning experience for me. It’s kind of pricey though, so I’ve hesitated. Your sure fit blouses always look so nice on you!
You are a great quilter so I wish you would do more quilts but I do enjoy the clothes videos. I buy from fabric.com quite a bit. You do give great tips and I certainly need those!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I may just start sewing my own clothes. Haven't done that since I was in high school wherein I sewed most of my clothes. I bought fabric with money I earned from babysitting. Ugh!!! 25 cents an hr. lol
The blouse fits you so well and looks great on you. I enjoy your videos so much. I like to watch you for your love of sewing, but also your sense of humor. I get a chuckle every time I watch you. Please keep us laughing.
Hi Joy - Fun video. You had a busy day! You are just “the best” at explaining how to make anything. I enjoy learning new things from you. Get some rest! Hugs. 🤗🌷👚🧵💕
+ I enjoy your videos and you have made my day many times! When I organized my patterns , I put the patterns with multiple views, under Ensembles. Have fun enjoying your new fabrics and patterns!
A little late , just watched your video. but if you have a pattern envelope with several pieces of clothing, you can write on the envelope e.g. "see blouses " and then copy the envelope picture with pattern no. and your note as many times as different pieces of clothing-1 (e.g. blouse, pants, skirt = 3; 3-1 =2 => 2 copies) and place the copies in the respective boxes. When you look for pants you will find the envelope copy and know where to look for it. Thus you don't have to remember any special classification.
Looks great. Thanks for the info on the facings. Neat way of finishing those hems. Never thought of using a gauge to measure for the hem. Thanks so much.
That blouse turned out a whole lot prettier than I thought it would. It's gorgeous!. I love your sewing segments. You explain it so it can be understood, not gibberish. Thank you!
Your videos are always such a treat!! :-)). Thank you very much for all that you do in making them! Your blouse looks really great and it fits you perfectly!
Organize your 'mixed elements' together as a 'wardrobe' classification. I made a list of what elements I would be looking for and the pattern number which had it under that element. It also helps that I have notebooks with enlarge copies of the envelope under their classifications, ie. Wardrobe, top, bottom, etc. I look through the notebooks rather than combing through file drawers or boxes constantly. Hope this helps.
Hi Joy. I love your tips for hems and facings. No more measuring hems. A revelation. I am teaching myself to sew using TH-cam and videos like yours really help. I would be very grateful if you could explain in a bit more detail how you adjust your patterns to stop the neckline gaping. Thanks Anita. X
Howdy Joy! In this video your talking about how to organize your patterns instead of by company. Did you ever establish another system? I only have fifty or so pattern and the only way I can find what I'm looking for is by style of garments. Knit tops and Woven tops are under Tops. For those patterns that have shirts, skirts, vests, pants etc. I categorize them as co-ordinates. If you have a better system, I'd like to know.
Love the beautiful colorful print fabrics. My kind of fabric. Can’t wait for our Hobby Lobby to be built. They just about have all the ground cleared for it (they had to take down an old hotel). Wish we had a Joanns here too. Everything is pretty far from us and have to go to San Antonio to shop, which closest Hobby Lobby now is about 45 minutes away and closest Joanns is over an hour away. Price we pay for living out in the country! Thanks for sharing the hemming tip.
Love the blouse and the way you made it fit perfectly. I haven't made clothing in a while but watching you has me looking at fabrics and patterns to sew for myself. Thank you for the video.
Back in the day........the 4 or 5 piece group ensemble was called a "weekender". Thought that was great. I'm subscriber 312 or so. We've been using SFD for almost 10 years now! Love it.
vivmom is making the jacket with the one that had the shorts. I haven't made anything for years, but I would like to see a video on how you line up to make the button holes and place the buttons. I would appreciate it. Thank you so much, Joy.
Okay. I'll try to remember that on my next blouse. I can tell you, I ALWAYS start with the one that keeps the blouse shut at the bust fullness. I put a pin there. Then I measure every other buttonhole from that position. On this blouse, the buttons all turned out to be 2 1/2 inches apart.
Great job!....chocked full of helpful tips...love all the fabric picks...Your spring/summer wardrobe will be...oh what do the young folk say...I don't know...lol...Let's just say smashing!...lol...Peace.
Hi Joy, enjoyed sharing your day. How about a bin that says wardrobe when you have all those components. Thanks for such a fun video. Have a great day!
I have my patterns categorized by, garment type - not by pattern company. If the pattern envelopes have more than one pattern category in them that I may sew, I put these multiple category pattern envelopes into mixed patterns section.
Beautiful blouse, Joy. Is your real name "Joyce"? That was my mom's name. How I miss her. But, your personality is opposite of hers. Yours is more like mine!! lol I do love the way you do the facing at the hem line!! How nice it turns out. I save all the videos I catch!! xoxoxo
Joy, how long does it take to pick everything up cos you always throw things on the floor. Do you ever loose things, under the sofa or desk or something? I love. All your makes.. From UK
Hi Joy. Love this blouse. I know you said you weren't a teacher but can you show how you sewed the facings on? How did you attach the back facing? I am such a visual learner.
Beautiful fit on your blouse, perfect on you!!!! Need to check out the Surefit patterns, maybe for Mother's Day or Birthday, that list is getting longer!! Did you mention the pattern of the blouse you were wearing? That looks great also. Hemming lesson was perfect. My Grandmother always did her hems with a cardboard template from boxes. Thanks Joy!
Love you! Beautiful job! The SFD patterns look SO much nicer than the commercial patterns on you. Thank you for helping us newbie sewers. Close ups good. Good explanations. Could you sometime down the road show button sewing and placement. I am terrified of ruining my tops with screwing up buttonholes.
Love your videos Joy, that blouse is a great fit, and such a pretty pattern. Might need to look into the shore fit system, when I have a bit more experience first, I think, loved the way you worked the hem of the blouse, I’ve made a mental note of that one. .🤞
Your blouse is absolute perfection Joy! It fits you so well. I wasn't sure about that fabric design, but lo and behold, it looks really really good on you. I think either pair of pink pants would go with it. I have considered purchasing Sure Fit Designs, but some of the comments people put on the SFD Facebook page about the troubles they are having makes me really scared to invest in the system. I'm not the best "fitter" and struggle with that and am always looking for a better way to tackle fit. I can't wait to see the rose duc fabric made up in a jacket. I want that fabric too!! I think you said you purchased it at Hobby Lobby, correct? I'm gonna go on a mission to find it this afternoon. I have a suggestion for organizing your patterns. I put an app on my smartphone called SewingKit HD. I enter the info about each pattern (pattern #, description, sizing, etc.) and upload a photo of the front & back of the pattern. Now when I go to the store and find a pattern I like I can check my SewingKit HD app to see if I already own it or not. Waalaa...no more pattern duplicates! You can also enter info about fabrics, threads, notions, or books you own; projects you're working on; and more. To top it off, the app is FREE, or at least it was when I got it years ago. Hope this tips helps. Hugs
Joy, help for categorizing your patterns with multiple views: make a copy of it. Save in the pattern in box you want and put a copy of the other patterns of it in the appropriate box. Ex. Pattern with pants, shirt, and dress. Put original in shirt box (the most likely pattern you would make) then out the copies in pants and dress box. FYI. you are amazing and I love keeping up with you. Bless you.
I always learn so much from you! I love the sure fit patterns! I'm trying to come up with a few patterns to keep as my "go to" patterns. I'm having a real problem finding tank top patterns with a little facing. I live in Florida and it will be 86 again this weekend! The extra layer of fabric is hot! Would you do a vlog on how to put a bust dart in a shirt that doesn't have one? I cannot find an easy tank top of short sleeve top pattern with a bust dart! You have me sold on them now!
Your blouse is lovely and the hem trick on the facing is a good method treatment. I saw Nancy Zieman do that with collars about 15 years ago. I love that Simplicity 8883, and it comes with different size cup measurements. I may have to go to JoAnns again! I made a jacket and top to coordinate last year, but the top is too big now and looks like a hand me down, so I need a new top. That Simplicity one may be the pattern I choose. Thanks for your videos.
Lol! I did the same thing after watching Viv....off to Hobby Lobby and Joann’s too! I like the neckline of the knit top of the you are wearing...did you make it? Pattern number? 😊 Thanks!
Love, love that floral print and The blouse is so cute on you. I have been doing the same with my hems for years too. And I think it was Louise Cutting who taught it at the Puyallup Sewing Expo too many years ago, when she was young. Thanks for sharing and remind8ng me of the hem technique
Joy! We were recognized in a Joann buying the same patterns one day apart! How about that? The women I met were adorable. It really made my day.😃 I love love love your beautiful cotton florals. Blouse is darling!! Thanks for sharing your hem technique. I also enjoy hand hemming. The corner fold trick is a new one to me...wonder if I’ll ever remember to do it, lol. Loved this all-day video!👏👏💯
Hi Joy, I don’t sew but still love listening to you. Do you still make quilts? I haven’t heard you post about quilts for a really long time. Love your personality!
Another great video, Joy. I bought 4 of the same patterns! I've been wanting to make a jacket, but I'm not sure how well my sewing machine will handle the heavier weight fabrics. I'm having a terrible time right now because my pattern instructions don't indicate how I'm supposed to sew a front yoke with a pleat and a double folded, crossed over itself, collar. That makes nine layers of cotton fabric. My Huskystar can't handle it, so I'm about to try on my Singer sewing/embroidery machine. I don't think it's going to work, though. There's no way I can hand sew through that much fabric. Anyway, I'll figure it out somehow! I'm going to watch Whitney's (TomKat Stitchery) jacket tutorial a couple of times, once she has the whole thing up. Then I might attempt to make it. I really enjoy your videos! Have a great day!
Joy,have you heard of a company called Girl Charlee, they specialise in stretchy fabrics .The quality is excellent and the choice of design and colour is really good.These fabrics are available here in the UK but they are based in the USA. The French terry is great for leggings.
ooo love that purple! can you tell us what it is what color they call it? LOVE that floral blouse! On my way to HL to see if I can find some myself. :) You always get me back on track when my sewing mojo leaves me... not sure if hubby thinks that's a good thing or not! LOL
Great tips! You and Viv are dangerous! I separate my patterns like you by company but I take everything out of the envelope, put the tissue and directions in a Manila envelope and file them by company, and number in banker boxes. I put the envelopes in page protectors and binders by company. The sections are dresses, bottoms (pants and skirts) WARDROBE, coats and jackets, miscellaneous and crafts.
Maybe wasting paper but what if on the patterns that are wardrobes you could make a copies of the pattern front cover and just put them in each corresponding category or just have a separate category for Seperates
If you have a pattern with 3 items on it. Photocopy the front cover twice and put one in each of your section. Make a ref on the copied sheet to where the pattern is.
Love your blouse!!!! Is that a SFD? Thank you for the video, love listening to your days activities. I just bought a SFD kit so I'm am just learning how to achieve a great fit. Keep the videos coming, wish I could spend a day with you, maybe I'll put you on my bucket list because you are so cute! See you in your next video! Dee
Hi Joiful Joy! I am listening you telling us about that lady and it just came to my mind how my grandmother used to be. Back in the commy times in the Eastern Europe, there was my grand mother who was a professional seamstress and used to do what this lady is doing. I remember me being little and left on her care and it was exciting to see women coming to have their garments made, and she would take all measurements and a drawing of the design from whatever book she had from the western Europe magazines or her ancient ones from before the war, and she would draw the pattern right on the fabric. She had a big wooden board she would put on the table and do all that there. I hear the music and wonder if the music police will notice. Someone put a claim on one of my videos for using elevator music in background. Oh , well , I took the video down for I don't want any lice sucking at my head...lol. No more meatballs soup for the moment , but I will put another back on. That is a good soup to cook. That blouse turned out to be gorgeous. Thank you for the hem tip! Very useful
What a shame you didn't learn from your grandmother. She had to be good for women to come to her for garments. I could watch that for hours. The music was a Christian music station, and I doubt they care. It was the radio. Don't they WANT people to listen to them. Ugh.
Hi Joy: I just can't get enough of watching you. You have turned me on to fabric with flowers ... Thanks again for all your time and wise words and teachings
I love your fabric and patterns. Thank for sharing
Love your videos! Thanks so much for showing all of your nifty tricks of the trade.
I am a beginner sewer and have learned so much from you. 😊
TY again for some great tips Joy. You are so darling. Enjoy your enthusiasm 😃
Joy, I love your blouse.
I just love your personality! I stumbled across one of your videos and here I am an hour later, still watching, when I should be sewing 😳😂😂. Subscribed❤️❤️

That little gal that makes her own patterns, my oldest sister that passed away last year could study something for around a hour or whatever it took for her to grasp how to make it.....go home and make the thing from memory 2 weeks later! She was amazing! I miss my big sissy!

Yes, Viv is a superstar. I don't even try to keep up with her monthly number of makes. However, I bet we are pretty close in the number of patterns we own and how much fabric is in our stash.
I love that blouse, the colors are awesome!!
I love when you show us the way you do your sewing. I learn so much from you. Thank you.
Trying to to catch up on you and Vivmom.-love the facing cheat
Really like the blouse, thanks for the tips.

SO NICE, THANK YOU.
Awesome video Joy! I've learned a ton of stuff and am not scared to do an FBA.
Thank you for letting me know.
Your blouse turned out so well. Your videos are always appreciated!

I enjoy your videos and you have made my day many times!
When I organized my patterns , I put the patterns with multiple views, under Ensembles.
Have fun enjoying your new fabrics and patterns!
Oh, that is a fun title. Now, if I could just REMEMBER it!!!
A little late , just watched your video. but if you have a pattern envelope with several pieces of clothing, you can write on the envelope e.g. "see blouses " and then copy the envelope picture with pattern no. and your note as many times as different pieces of clothing-1 (e.g. blouse, pants, skirt = 3; 3-1 =2 => 2 copies) and place the copies in the respective boxes.

Looks great. Thanks for the info on the facings. Neat way of finishing those hems. Never thought of using a gauge to measure for the hem. Thanks so much.
Such great tips!!! Thank you so much for sharing! God Bless honey
Joy what a beautiful blouse! I really enjoyed your video, but then again I enjoy all of your videos!
That blouse turned out a whole lot prettier than I thought it would. It's gorgeous!. I love your sewing segments. You explain it so it can be understood, not gibberish. Thank you!
You are my daily dose of Joy! literally. Watching you just cheers me up. The joy of the Lord shines through
Great blouse 👚 👌🏾
I love the fabric you are using! The outfit with those pants will be so classy!!
Your blouse turned out so nice and fits you so well! Thanks!
Love that blouse Joy! I also enjoyed the music at the end. Raise a Hallelujah!!
Your videos are always such a treat!! :-)). Thank you very much for all that you do in making them! Your blouse looks really great and it fits you perfectly!
very nice, good fit
An absolutely perfect fit great job. You are my inspiration to buy the Sure Fit designs system. Thank you so much for all your videos.
Thanks for all the great tips! I really like that fabric too.
Love your music! Really enjoy your videos and you personality is wonderful. Thank you.
appreciate your showing the patterns. you gave me the number of the blue blouse and went and got pattern. thanks. also thans for tutorials!
Great Video !!!! You're just so lovely!!! Thanks for the helpful tips, I really appreciate you!!!
Organize your 'mixed elements' together as a 'wardrobe' classification. I made a list of what elements I would be looking for and the pattern number which had it under that element.

You can take back cut fabric at Joann's?
Beautiful top, job and fit! I call my pattern division the “combo” section for those many outfits in one.
Joy, how long does it take to pick everything up cos you always throw things on the floor. Do you ever loose things, under the sofa or desk or something? I love. All your makes.. From UK
Hi Joy. Love this blouse. I know you said you weren't a teacher but can you show how you
sewed the facings on? How did you attach the back facing? I am such a visual learner.
The blue swing top you are wearing looks fantastic on you. What pattern is it?
Beautiful fit on your blouse, perfect on you!!!! Need to check out the Surefit patterns, maybe for Mother's Day or Birthday, that list is getting longer!!

Could you sometime down the road show button sewing and placement. I am terrified of ruining my tops with screwing up buttonholes.
Sure. Main thing is to be sure there is a button at the bust area where blouses always want to play peek-a-boo.
Joy Bernhardt when do you use vertical vs horizontal buttonholes?
You are so lucky to get simplicity for 1.90. They can be £9 here
Love your videos Joy, that blouse is a great fit, and such a pretty pattern. Might need to look into the shore fit system, when I have a bit more experience first, I think, loved the way you worked the hem of the blouse, I’ve made a mental note of that one. .🤞
It is Sure-fit Designs. You can go to www.surefitdesigns.com and watch over a hundred free videos there. Glenda Sparling is wonderful!

Lol I watch both of you ladies I’ve been buying fabric and patterns ! I’ll be grounded soon watching you guys
Joy, help for categorizing your patterns with multiple views: make a copy of it. Save in the pattern in box you want and put a copy of the other patterns of it in the appropriate box. Ex. Pattern with pants, shirt, and dress. Put original in shirt box (the most likely pattern you would make) then out the copies in pants and dress box. FYI. you are amazing and I love keeping up with you. Bless you.
Blouse is absolutely gorgeous. I wish I could sew like you!
I always learn so much from you! I love the sure fit patterns! I'm trying to come up with a few patterns to keep as my "go to" patterns. I'm having a real problem finding tank top patterns with a little facing. I live in Florida and it will be 86 again this weekend! The extra layer of fabric is hot! Would you do a vlog on how to put a bust dart in a shirt that doesn't have one? I cannot find an easy tank top of short sleeve top pattern with a bust dart! You have me sold on them now!
Your blouse is lovely and the hem trick on the facing is a good method treatment. I saw Nancy Zieman do that with collars about 15 years ago. I love that Simplicity 8883, and it comes with different size cup measurements. I may have to go to JoAnns again! I made a jacket and top to coordinate last year, but the top is too big now and looks like a hand me down, so I need a new top. That Simplicity one may be the pattern I choose. Thanks for your videos.
I missed where you interfaced the facing. I must have misunderstood. The attaching the facing to the pattern is fabulous.
Just use your paper pattern to cut it out. Iron it in.
Joy, the blue blouse you have on in this video is exactly what I need. Would you mind sharing the pattern info? Please! ❤
Oh, my. I'm not sure. The Style Arc Kim top is very much like it. I've made it a dozen times.
Love your entire outfit. Question - have you ever used the fit nice system for pants?
hello 👋 how Terry doing miss her nice pattern and fabric design Thanks
Lol! I did the same thing after watching Viv....off to Hobby Lobby and Joann’s too! I like the neckline of the knit top of the you are wearing...did you make it? Pattern number? 😊 Thanks!
Love, love that floral print and The blouse is so cute on you. I have been doing the same with my hems for years too. And I think it was Louise Cutting who taught it at the Puyallup Sewing Expo too many years ago, when she was young. Thanks for sharing and remind8ng me of the hem technique
Joy! We were recognized in a Joann buying the same patterns one day apart! How about that? The women I met were adorable. It really made my day.😃 I love love love your beautiful cotton florals. Blouse is darling!! Thanks for sharing your hem technique. I also enjoy hand hemming. The corner fold trick is a new one to me...wonder if I’ll ever remember to do it, lol. Loved this all-day video!👏👏💯
I like the hemming/facing trick.
That vivmom is a bit of an enabler!
Hi Joy, I don’t sew but still love listening to you. Do you still make quilts? I haven’t heard you post about quilts for a really long time. Love your personality!
Love the blouse Joy! You gave some excellent tips, thank you! Love your videos so much! I always get my cup of coffee ready before I watch you😊❤👍
Blouse turned out beautiful. I also really liked the blue one you started the video with. It went so well with the bracelet and earrings.
The term you could use is "ALL INCLUSIVE" for the patterns that have all the items in one group. How about that one? lol
Another great video, Joy. I bought 4 of the same patterns! I've been wanting to make a jacket, but I'm not sure how well my sewing machine will handle the heavier weight fabrics. I'm having a terrible time right now because my pattern instructions don't indicate how I'm supposed to sew a front yoke with a pleat and a double folded, crossed over itself, collar. That makes nine layers of cotton fabric. My Huskystar can't handle it, so I'm about to try on my Singer sewing/embroidery machine. I don't think it's going to work, though. There's no way I can hand sew through that much fabric. Anyway, I'll figure it out somehow! I'm going to watch Whitney's (TomKat Stitchery) jacket tutorial a couple of times, once she has the whole thing up. Then I might attempt to make it. I really enjoy your videos! Have a great day!
Joy I love the blouse on you. Such a perfect fit. Thank you for the tutorial. I always learn so much from you. Keep them coming.
Awesome Joy, love the fit of the blouse on you, and the fabric is gorgeous. Nice pattern haul as well. Have a great weekend. Val 🇨🇦🇬🇧❤️
Joy,have you heard of a company called Girl Charlee, they specialise in stretchy fabrics .The quality is excellent and the choice of design and colour is really good.These fabrics are available here in the UK but they are based in the USA. The French terry is great for leggings.
Thank you. I sure will look it up.
ooo love that purple! can you tell us what it is what color they call it? LOVE that floral blouse! On my way to HL to see if I can find some myself. :) You always get me back on track when my sewing mojo leaves me... not sure if hubby thinks that's a good thing or not! LOL
Great tips! You and Viv are dangerous! I separate my patterns like you by company but I take everything out of the envelope, put the tissue and directions in a Manila envelope and file them by company, and number in banker boxes. I put the envelopes in page protectors and binders by company. The sections are dresses, bottoms (pants and skirts) WARDROBE, coats and jackets, miscellaneous and crafts.
That is a great system! Thanks for sharing it.
I would call the cat. With everything Multi.
Maybe wasting paper but what if on the patterns that are wardrobes you could make a copies of the pattern front cover and just put them in each corresponding category or just have a separate category for Seperates
AHHH!
Separates.
Didn't think of that name.
How do you buy your patterns for size? I think you said you go by upper bust, but that is not usually marked on the patterns...
Patterns have lots of sizes in them. You can choose when you cut it out.
If you have a pattern with 3 items on it. Photocopy the front cover twice and put one in each of your section. Make a ref on the copied sheet to where the pattern is.
Brilliant!
Love your blouse!!!! Is that a SFD? Thank you for the video, love listening to your days activities. I just bought a SFD kit so I'm am just learning how to achieve a great fit. Keep the videos coming, wish I could spend a day with you, maybe I'll put you on my bucket list because you are so cute! See you in your next video! Dee
You can say the pattern that has everything is All inclusive.
Hi Joiful Joy! I am listening you telling us about that lady and it just came to my mind how my grandmother used to be. Back in the commy times in the Eastern Europe, there was my grand mother who was a professional seamstress and used to do what this lady is doing. I remember me being little and left on her care and it was exciting to see women coming to have their garments made, and she would take all measurements and a drawing of the design from whatever book she had from the western Europe magazines or her ancient ones from before the war, and she would draw the pattern right on the fabric. She had a big wooden board she would put on the table and do all that there.
I hear the music and wonder if the music police will notice. Someone put a claim on one of my videos for using elevator music in background. Oh , well , I took the video down for I don't want any lice sucking at my head...lol. No more meatballs soup for the moment , but I will put another back on. That is a good soup to cook.
That blouse turned out to be gorgeous. Thank you for the hem tip! Very useful
What a shame you didn't learn from your grandmother. She had to be good for women to come to her for garments. I could watch that for hours. The music was a Christian music station, and I doubt they care. It was the radio. Don't they WANT people to listen to them. Ugh.
Are you on medications?
