Oh my goodness Joy, what a wonderful teacher you are. You have shown and answered so many questions for me in this video. I love to quilt and I love to sew but have had trouble getting my clothes to fit. I'm not giving up, though. I am 76; before my time on earth is over I am "determined" to be able to sew my own clothes...lol. Thank you for taking time to make these videos. Your clothes you make always look so nice. May God Bless you in all you do because you sure are a blessing to those you teach.
I agree with you about the length of pants, and also the ripped jeans. Thank you so much for your teachings. Love watching you and hope your teachings sink into this old brain.
Joy, Joy, Joy, I just love your humor. You make me laugh each time is see your clips and God knows I need a little humor.
Joy, even though I have been sewing since I was 4 years old (and I'm 66 now) I enjoy your teaching. And I always learn something new. Please keep teaching!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I love your videos, they're so helpful! I've been sewing since 1968 but you still teach me new methods of sewing.❤
Hi Joy, I’m your new subscriber from Canada 🇨🇦 and by the Grace of God you are as your name is full of joy. I’m watching all your videos and the way you explain is amazing. You are a perfect teacher and I thank you for sharing all your good work and your precious time. Bye now!
You have made my day 'twice' today already. You are fun and I learn so much from you every time you broadcast. Thank you!
Hi Nancy. I'm so glad you enjoy my videos. It is because of ladies like you that I keep making them. Men too -- if there are any. LOL
Mama taught me how to sew her way. It came easy to her, as everything else did too. She was a fast thinker like you are. I am 67 now and still trying to learn all I can. I watch you give time to teaching and thank you so much.
Oh Joy, you are not the only one that dislikes those kind of pants. I always call them flood pants. Thank you a million times for creating these videos. Your explanations are so easy to understand.
I love those "Tammy" movies! Debbie Reynolds movies and Doris Day movies are my favorites. Beautiful blouse!
I love the sound of a sewing machine, I find it very comforting.
I like you Joy. You are a good teacher. I like your sense of humor.
Joy, I am a little late to your channel, but learning so much, even though I have been sewing for decades. I ordered the button hole and button cutter gadgets. I have never heard of these before. I can't wait to try them. I also ordered some of the books you have recommended. I also quilt and have made jewelry. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and I love your presentations.
You are a wonderful teacher. Thank you for sharing with us
Oh,Joy! You are such a delight! A great teacher!
Hi, Joy.
I have had SFD for a couple years. I have had several starts and stops. Thank you for motivating me to make my first wearable blouse. I am very pleased with the final product. I look forward to many more to come. I appreciate you.....
"Nobody wants to see grannies naked" - OMG. Not only do I learn so much and appreciate your skills but you throw some really funny lines out there, lol.
Joy, thank you for all of your efforts. You have cleared up my confusion regarding button extension and center front! So happy you took the time to thoroughly explain all of that. You are appreciated by your TH-camrs.
Joy you crack me up. I wish I lived closer because I would love to hang out with you. The knowledge you have is amazing. I hope you have family that you are passing this information on to.
Nobody in my family is interested in my sewing skills. My grandson's wife has made a few tops with me, but she has her own dyed yarn business now.
Joy, I have been sewing for many many years but I always learn something new from you. You are such a good teacher. Also, you have solved the mystery for me of why Peggy's blouses are always uneven in the front. LOL Thanks for that!
Joy, Thanks so much for putting this tutorial up. It is terrific. The buttonhole part is hands down, the best tutorial that I have ever watched for buttonholes. Five stars for sure. Keep up the good work.
Excellent explanation re: button extension, button hole placement and the logic of sewing on buttons!!! I've always been intimidated by this process, but your video has really opened my eyes as to the correct way to get near perfect results. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video!!!!!!!!! You're my sewing hero!!! 🥰 BTW: I can't stand cropped pants and just can't wear 3/4 length sleeves! My mother made me a seersucker outfit that had "pedal pusher" pants when I was about 4 or 5 yrs. old and I absolutely refused to wear it! The length of the pants drove me nuts! To this day, I just can't do cropped pants or capris, as they are now called. Can't do 3/4 length sleeves either. I like tops that are either sleeveless, have cap sleeves or long sleeves. I like the option of pushing long sleeves up on my forearm if/when necessary. I like shorts or long pants, period. To me, cropped pants and capris look like they weren't made long enough or that the wearer grew several inches since the garment was made/purchased. No, you're not the only one, Joy. ☺ Again, thank you for making this video and showing us your excellent sewing methods! Oh! Your changing out the white blouse buttons for blue was an excellent decision. The white ones were distracting. The blue ones blend into the background of the blouse and look so much nicer. 👍🏼
I loved how you showed us how to sew a blouse !! Please do more 💕
Thank you Joy for this great sew a long, you are a wonderful teacher. The best. 🤗🌹
Love your sewing you are so good . Please continue wish you were on tv.
Oh my goodness. Loves this and have been sewing for years. Been away from sewing for myself for a while. You teach like my mom taught me.. Home-Ec kind of rattled me finally went back to the way I was taught. So much more fun and productive. Agree on the direction you make your button holes. Great reminders thank you.
We are the same age. I have been sewing since high school but still find your videos very informative and love the crazy things you do and say.
Oh yeah... Never put pins in your mouth per my high school home ec teacher, Miss Rast. I didn't appreciate her then but I do now.
I swallowed a safety pin when I was young, thank God it was closed!
I just love your videos. Sometimes i binge watch. I cant help smiling and laughing with you.
Joy, I can’t thank you enough for these videos. I have just started to sew clothes this year and have not had any success with darts. My left side is always lower than my right. I put out a call to the pattern designer and did not get a how to fix it response. But YOU have solved my problem! My shoulders are not the same height. What a revelation. This video is being saved for my next top and I am going to try and fix the other one. Thank you Thank you Thank you!
That Tammy movie has always been an iconic favorite of mine, too! I love your style of teaching - you make everything so clear. Thanks!
Your description of buttonhole and button placement was very enlightening. . Very informative video!
Joy you live up to your name. You are a joy to watch, listen and learn from. Thank you so much. xx
I love the blue color, the class is wonderful
Thanks Joy for showing how to sew bust darts! Especially the pinning part! Blouse is so beautiful!
I was bingeing on your videos and just listened to this one. I’m a Tammy from the 50’s too. I actually have the two books that the movies were based on. Tammy Out of Time and Tammy Tell Me True.
Tammy and the doctor was my favorite.
I love your tutorials. Hope you do lots more Sure Fit Designs ones. Keep them coming. You’re wonderful.
Thank you Joy, love watching your tutorials. I'm more of a quilter, but I've been wanting to start sewing garments. You are a great teacher, love how detailed you are and how clear you are with your instructions. Thank you so much! God bless you!
Joy, I love your trick for the hem/facing. Blouses are intimidating to me, but you make it look easy. Thanks for showing us how you make it. Love your blouse. 👍🤗
Well what can I say other than ....Fabulous, ...you are just the best at teaching Joy, you explain everything so clearly, and as soon as I can I will put your tuition into practice, having a small, local holiday first though. Love that song Tammy’s in love, hate those ripped jeans and those ankle length trousers are not for me either, think it’s probably our generation thing😉 thanks for a wonderful lesson. You are a star x
Joy would you like a laugh,,my husband bought me the button thingamigig and I expected it to be several inches tall like yours before you stretch it apart, man is about five inches tall before you extend it out...oh what ding bats,iv got one for midgets or baby’s joy keep doing the videos we need your sooooooo informative your fabulous luv teresa x😀🙂x
What a breathe of fresh air you are...I'm new to sewing and I'm learning lots from you...and your maths is perfect for your quarter inch each side....makes perfect sense to me...all the best...love from Scotland x
You are a breath of fresh air. Had me laugh! You sure took some of my fear away from button holes
I loved this video. I had it on while I was sewing in my sewing room. It made me feel like I was sewing with a friend. Thank you for what you do!
Dear Joy, thanks for your sewinglessons. It helps me a lot, i am sewing in the kitchen right now, but my husband is making me a sewingroom at the secondfloor. Greetings form the netherlands
Hi Joy. what an inspiration you are. I have just ordered my first ever surefit pack in the uk and can't wait to get started. your clothes are fantastic and i will continue to watch your tutorials to keep me going and motivated. I am a beginner with making clothes but i do know my way around a sewing machine and a small amount of reading and adjusting patterns but i need to learn more about different fabrics and their uses but over all i'm excited that i could possibly have a wardrobe like yours. Keep up the good work and thank you for making it a bit more easy for me to make this decision to try.
Beautiful blouse color
This video inspires me to try to make a top
I quilt but haven't tried clothes yet 🙃
You are a fantastic teacher ❤️
Loved it. Thank you for taking the time to do it! I need to get a button guage - that's what always gives me trouble. You are not the only one that dislikes those short pants - I can't stand them either. I also like my 3/4 sleeves just under my elbow like you do. Thanks for the great video. Looking forward to whatever you are doing next! I'm balancing between many projects myself.
Clever, beautiful and elegant as always 😉👍👍👍
Joy you are beautiful to listen to,iv listened to this many many times,you keep me company int the kitchen,and all day in my needlework room,I love this simple design,I had a laugh when my husband was helping me to draw round my tour so shap,he doesn’t understand prisision,mind if I were in his kitchen prisison is oh so important with his spices oops I wrote spicies wrong sorry joy, I have so many ideas for blouses I just lack confidence to design it,I love how you hem and finish your blouse,it matters if it’s not even,I hope Gerry got on ok at drs,please don’t ever loose your love of dressmaking I’d be devistated if you did,luv teresa
Joy, you're the best teacher ever. Thanks for this great video.
You're very welcome!
Thanks Joy for your excellent detailed explanation of how to sew the Surefit blouse. Now I am inspired to make my first blouse using the Dress kit. I learnt heaps from your video.🙂
Oh my you certainly aren’t the only one who dislikes pants that hit about the ankles. I detest them. I don’t think they look good on anyone, young old or anywhere in between.
But I do enjoy all your videos, you make me smile when I feel like there’s nothing to smile about!!!!!
Loved your video on the blouse. I learned a lot!
Great instruction Joy. Thanks for taking the time to share the SFD pattern system. It is greatly appreciated!
Thank you Joy! I thoroughly enjoyed this video! It's going to be so helpful when I sew my blouse. On another note, a long time ago in one of Nancy's Notions episodes she understitched with a serpentine stitch. You are the only other person I've seen do it that❤😊👍
Love that blue fabric.
I was taught that the only button holes that are horizontal are one on jackets and blouses and shirts should be vertical so as not to shift off center front and possibly allow gaping. I like the way you do it here as I prefer my button holes to be horizontal and by making sure the button hole edge toward center front is only 1/8" over CF, the shift is VERY minimal if any. Thanks for validating my button hole preference, Joy! LOL Love this video. I don't know why you were hesitating on putting them up. It's like sewing with a sewing buddy!
The video was hours longer. It is the editing that takes so long.
You do it old school with new school, which I perfectly fine with. I rather have good fitting stay together clothes than half made fall off. 🤗
Thanks, Joy. I always learn from you. One tip. You never have to backstitch a zigzag. They will never come out. That's why I love them. By the way, Nancy Zieman used zigzag for under stitching too. She used the triple zigzag.
How wonderful to watch another perfectionist at work - I'm not alone after all! 😄 I've been needing to update my blueprint and make a few woven items and this series was a great refresher. Thank you very much! ❤️
I want to join the others in thanking you for the effort you put into these videos. It is much appreciated, Joy! I now have my own SFD Dress kit thanks to you :)
WOW! From the master pattern out of the envelope to the complete finished garment - what an incredible teaching series! 🙌
You are so thorough and systematic! You seem to anticipate the questions that come up along the way as if reading my mind! I’m very appreciative of all your teaching videos. You put a great amount of time into bringing them to the sewing community around the world. The quality, lighting and sound, the encouragement and laughter is great. Thank you so much!
Great tutorial, your a breath of fresh air and a laugh a minute 😘
I agree with you about a tight button hole that is horizontal
Joy. I absolutely LOVE the blouse you have on. That is beautiful..... I am absolutely love the way you teach. I'm not crazy about the fabric but I really like that pattern.I am a hefty girl but I would make it longer for me. I've never been very good at putting in button holes. But i know now it's the machine not me. You are a very good teacher. You are hilarious to watch but i like watching you thank you for taking your time to TEACH. .you take the time you dont just breeze thru it....
Thank you Joyce. I actually filmed many more hours of the machine just stitching away or me talking about something. It is the editing that really takes the time because I cut so much out.
Perfect! Thanks for step by step instructios
Love you Joy, I'm a perfectionist too, it's blessing and a curse at the same time 😂. Well mostly blessing because everything is better if it's done right 💖. If you search "old Tammy movie" on TH-cam, a few different ones come up. I'm going to be sure to watch one soon, old movies are wonderful. Thanks for all your sewing tips, I'm 55 and still learning 😃. I especially love the expanding button gauge!!
Thank you for making this video. I learned something new about button placement. I wondered why the bottom of my blouse would end up uneven when I did the button holes vertical rather than horizontal.
Joy, thank you for your time in doing these tutorials you make things so clear to understand. I’m excited to get started on my sure fit designs blouse. Love watching and listening to you🙂!
Joy. The blue and white one.
Thank you so much for your time doing this video. It is so appreciated. I am going tomorrow to get my fabric and other things. I will probably freak out a few times doing the buttons and button holes and you may hear few screams from Virginia. My dad used to call those type of pants high water pants. Again thank you.
Really like that material. TFS
Hi Joy
Thank you so much for explaining how to lower the shoulder and l love how you sewed your sleeves in. I'm going to try that.
The colour blue looks lovely on you.
Thanks again, appreciate you sharing your sewing knowledge. 😘
love to watch the way you explain what you are doing, makes perfect sense to me, thank you
Fabulous tutorial Joy,thank you so much! Pleased you changed the buttons! Xx
Thanks Joy! You are a wonderful teacher! I learn something new everytime.
Thank you for this video it was great this is the first time I have seen
so close to your hands your hands are so pretty I also liked the shirt you wore in
Oh my you gave us newbies so much good info..Im spending my winter learning to make my own tops and hopefully pants too. Thank you agin for these classes. YOUR THE BEST!!!!
You are so welcome!
I was the one who asked about how you held your scissors to the machine. Thanks for showing that. And, thanks for commenting that you don't cut off the excess after you sew the hem facing! I always cut and always had bumps and dents! Wonderful video!
Capris. I love the ankle pants or I call them cigarette pants. I’m getting ready to make a pair. I gotta say, I love your blouse and you are so fun. I have a Jerry, also. Thanks so much
The button spacer is called the Simflex Sewing Gauge. Great job!
Joy, thank you so much for posting this. I learned several things, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Wonderful job, your blouse looks so nice happy sewing.
LOVE the top especially the fabric! Great instructions as ever. Take care.
Thank you Joy, with your sense of humor , sewing is fun.😃
Thank you so much Joy, you are so good at what you do. Your tips and tricks are very helpful.
The sewing part blue an white I love the fabric do you rember where you got it
0:59 pincontrol - exactly what i do 👍
Thank you Joy! I just watched the whole video and it is great. Now I can sit down and start a new project ❤️❤️❤️. I can’t wait for your next one 👍.
Great video series from pattern drawing to sewing the SFD blouse . You are a very talented teacher. Thank you for putting so much time and work in sharing your knowledge and experience. As to the horizontal button holes (or not), I noticed that certain high end brand shirts of my husband had vertical button holes except for the collar and the bottom
one. I remember my sewing teacher said something alike some 30 years ago but I forgot it until now. As regards the lower shoulder and lowering the armhole, I use a measuring wheel to run it along the front and back armhole called Rollbe. I bought it from SFD UK. The armhole gets larger if you lower the sides of the armhole more than the amount you lowered at the shoulder
but as it fits you the way you do it , who cares. The sleeve is easier to set in. Your blouses are beautiful
When I learned typing, our teacher used the second carbon copy to check typing errors. Too soft typing resulted in pale prints difficult to read and low grades even if there were no typing errors.
Interesting about the men's shirts. Guess someone finally caught on.
Yes, you have to lower the armhole the same amount as the shoulder. That is what I do. Two one fourths at the shoulder equal one half, and I lower the armhole one half inch.
I always sew off the edge of the dart point like you do, but then turn and tack it into the extra fabric of the dart. No tie to it. :) I simply use an old cotton dish towel for a press cloth.
I enjoyed watching your video and even learned a few things.
My mom always told us kids if someone was talking about that means you were jealous or you. I loved it when my mom always cheered us up with saying.
How funny. My Mom always said she took it as a compliment that anyone would take the time to talk about her.
Great job. With shirt
Good tutorial
First time watcher and just love this.
So much stellar info, Joy! Thank you!!
Joy what settings do you put your serger on and how many threads and do you use that amount of threads on all your sewing of your garments. When should you use three thread and when do you use four thread. I love watching your videos. I’ve learned so much from you. You repeat yourself and it sinks in more. Great work. Were you ever a school teacher? The kids would love your way of teaching. X
Thanks for explaining the under stitching part. I couldn’t remember when to clip the seams before or after.
I have also been following Fabulous50s. She’s great too!
You can also use parchment paper to press and keep the glue off of your iron
I like to watch you sew and your perfection.
