Joy, you are so inspiring! I love how real and transparent you are. Its like you are saying its ok to make mistakes. Because I do and feel bad about it. Thanks for being you!! Never change:)

When I look at that doll, the name that popped in my mind is Clementine!

Joy, could you do me a favor? Could you please bottle up some of your energy and mail it to me,, I sure could use it!

I don't know where my energy comes from, but I'm sure glad I have it most of the time. Sometimes, it keeps me awake too long at night.

I like the roses top a lot, my favourite print too, but the sleeves are too far away from your arms. I think they either should be narrower, the fabric is not drapy enough or it would look better with regular short sleeves. You could keep the pleat shut with a clasp, or a fabric rose. Surefit Designs has several series of videos on KZread for beginners. Among others, Make it Sew. The picure of the new owner replaced Glenda as icon but the videos are by Glenda or Elsabe. Very good techers. The Learning center on their site is full of easy to follow information and their courses worthwhile. Elsabe has course on Surefit Designs academy south africa: Pattern making Basics - Tips and Techniques I really like. For advanced construction techniques, to learn by watching, no talking at all, Atelier Season, by a Japanese seamstress, is very interesting. I watch Thoughtful Creativity too. Easy to follow and nice ideas. J Stern Designs and Appearance studio are also among my favourites.

The doll looks like a "Gretchen" to me. Very cute.

I love Shirley Temple! My friend has the same doll. Someone gave it to her. It was in poor condition so she had me give her a makeover including making her new clothes. She wanted to give her to me because I mentioned I always wanted one but I said no. Then I found one at a vintage place. She’s still waiting for her makeover lol

Love the way you fit your garments!

Your aqua short set is beautiful You Look great in them. You are very slim so you look great.

Hey Miss Joy! Glad y’all are doing well! Love the top you made! Safe travels back to the other home! God bless y’all! 😀❤️

I love the sleeves. I would sew down the pleat too.

I love the sleeves. That is a beautiful top. Floral fabric is so nice. It looks great on you.

Thank you so much!

Marble ones- cute!

The shorts and top is cute.

Love your blouse, especially the petal sleeves. You have nice arms!

I think the shorts and the shirt are cute

Wow sounds like it was definitely hit by lightning

What a perfect shorts set for the summer heat, Joy! I do love petal sleeves, and the blouse. 😊 You inspired me a while back to purchase the Sure Fit system for dresses/tops. Thank you! 😘

the short and sleeveless embroidered top looks like you made it that way and it is suppose to be that way. Looks lovely and cool

I totally love the short and top outfit it looks great on you and so comfortable and the shorts are perfect height not too long and not too short❣️🪡🧵✂️💓💖💗💕❤️

Love you Joy! I think the redhead doll should be Sassyfrass! Most redheads ARE sassy!

Cute doll! How about Amelia or Emily or Emma for a name? Your short outfit is very nice. Love the embroidery❤️

Barbara popped in my mind(?)!

She's mini Joy

Perhaps put 3 buttons half way down on the pleat. I like 3 buttons. Cute blouse on you. Love the snippets

Dana like Dana Scully from the X-Files

Joy it is wonderful to see you. Thrilled that you and Jerry are well. Love, love the new top with the adorable sleeves. I admire your talent.

If you go to Dallas don't forget to stop at Buc-ee's

Top stitch the pleat from below the buttons down to your waist. That should help. I like the sleeves. Take care.

Hi Joy, I'm late to this video -- super cute shorts set. I have that new look pattern - I'll have to pull it out.

Name her Penny. I love your videos. They are so entertaining and knowledgeable. Thank you.😊

Hi Joy, I so enjoy your energy! On your blouse with the pleat, could you sew down the pleat until just below your bust? Thanks for sharing your adventures .

Wow, the white with flowers blouse is perfect on you! Missed you and you know viewers ‘worry’. You have your share of tasks! Now I’ll be quiet and watch….

I have made the New Look tumic , long sleeve with one slanted sode hem several times. It first came out as a pattern with jut the one sude slant..i love it..i have made it several times out of light swater weight fabric and i live them. I bet i made them 7 or 8 years ago..i have plenty of clothes so nothing gets worn too often .. both tunics still loom brand new and i get lots of compliments.

Hello Joy. I have a granddaughter with red hair and green eyes. Her name is Alisiah. I think your doll would like that name. My mom collected dolls. She had 350 when she passed. I got most of them. They were in their original boxes and in a room that got4 water damage. We didn’t think the dolls were wet but they were and most were ruined. I do have a few. I just love your petal sleeve blouse. We are a lot alike in taste and belief and more. Good hearing you again. Love, Liz

Hello, dearest Joy! I actually love love love the pleated top with the tulip sleeves. It looks expensive! The colors are gorgeous on you. And, hey, if the pleat keeps opening, at least you know it's a pleat. Embrace it. I love it. ❤

Hi Joy name your doll Ginger, from Gilligan's Island! 😊🤗 Great to see you again, l missed you Joy. Your short set came out good love the color.❤

Joy, welcome back, missed you and your humor. The blouse with the petal sleeves and the pleat, can you sew the pleat down which would eliminate you having to mess with it? Just a thought. :) Love it, very cute and it looks great on you.

My favorite redhead is Anne…Anne of Green Gables. So that’s my suggestion for that beautiful doll.

The rose blouse is beautiful. I think 3 buttons looked good because it was about the same length as the collar. You could lightly stitch down the pleat. The collar and the sleeves make it look very unique.

I like the top and shorts in blue! I like the sewing machine on your shirt!

Red hair - Maureen O'Hara :-))). The first top is pretty. The shorts set looks great. The Rose blouse needs to be tacked down somehow. 2 buttons looks less crowded. That blouse is very nice. I like the sleeves & the Steam a Seam idea. Brilliant 👏

How about Anne, she reminds me of Anne of Green Gabels.

I am so happy to see you dear Joyce. I am glad you are just fine.

The short set is so cute! Love the dolls and floral top too!

How about Ginger? I love dolls. My little sister did the same.

Love the top you're wearing at the beginning of video. Pattern #???

Well you might have to go with the Pearl button

I have missed you lady!

Joy so nice to see you again and love your short set, your doll should be name Ginny short for Ginger for her red hair

Tack pleats down. Allways can remove.

Hi Joy what about stitching the pleat down a few inches?

How about stitching the pleat down from top to bottom? That eliminates the ability to gap!

I think Abigail for the third doll is a pretty name.

Love the ‘new tulip sleeve top’. Glad to see you… i recently had thoughts about you… had an increase of down time… watching KZread… thank you for your burst of energy… i always learn something from you…i do not recall… did you mention the name/ source of pattern with floral fabric… asymmetrical lines look great on you… now for that darn pleat( maybe 2 or 3 small clear snaps beneath the fold… just thinking… blessings to you and Jerry…rest when you must…

Didn't think of snaps. That would work.

Hi again. Personally I don’t like this sleeve type in your new top. And I would hem it at a shorter length and maybe sew the pleat down? Love the fabric😊

Did yuo notice that many of our trips are to the doctor or going for a test. 😂.

Carol Ann

Joy, does the white end of your marker not come off. I have one like that and the white end comes off and the tip underneath wipes it off.

The blouse that you drew the pattern for is very pretty. And it looks really good on you. I like the 2 button look.

Trinity!!

I have 50 dolls. Love dolls

Why not attach buttons along the pleat where they don't open, much like fake buttons. This would take care of the pleat opening. I love your blouse and the fabric, very pretty.

Good to see you back. I love the blue outfit and the blouse turned out so pretty. I am watching this video with my left eye closed quite a bit. I got the cataract removed this morning and it’s a bit irritated. Everything is so beautiful outside so vivid and bright. God’s handiwork is beyond awesome! I got right one done a couple of weeks ago. Missed sewing today but eye blurry & uncomfortable today. I think you should call your doll Emerald because of her green eyes.

Maybe if you just topstitch the pleat down and call it a day.....just my two cents.

With that flaming hair it’s made me think of Aurora for your darling doll

Sorry about the lightening and what it did to your internet. So lucky it could have been worse. Thank you for sharing.

Why put sleeves on that blouse Joy, it looks beautiful without sleeves, beautiful fabric by the way and again you are so talented and beautiful with a big big heart, love your videos

My blouse was not cut to be sleeveless. That takes a smaller armhole.

Lucy for Lucille Ball

so glad you are keeping the RV! Always a joy to see you 😄 sending love to Jerry, too!

I love the rose fabric and the pattern. The sleeves not so much. Been missing your videos but certainly understand!

Joy I love your Blue summer shorts ❤ so cute I have a few doll that are on display in my good living room but the Shirley Temple doll so cute

Love the shirt. Very pretty. Sleeve are different snd cute Everything that you make for yourself always looks wonderful

I would like to make it with a white collar. Blouse is adorable. I'd tack the pleat down if it's doesn't behave.

Your dolll reminds me of Aunt Ruby. Red hair. And green eyes. Good. To see you back.

Comment #2. Thank you for the list of sewist that teach about pattern making and sewing.

Anytime you’re going to go on vacation or away for a while, all of your appliances need to be unplugged and you may want to mention to Jerry to look into a UPS. It’s a universal power supply that probably would have saved your router except you really should’ve unplugged it anyway.

Very cute short set. Like the blouse but agree no pleat on the next one.. And my your a busy girl. And I agree no fiddly clothes.

Love the shorts - you've inspired me to buy a shorts pattern and give it a go. Love the tulip sleeves too, cute 🥰

Scarlet redhead doll name Crimson, Garnet, Ruby

Yay, our Joy is back! So glad to catch up with you and know that you and Jerry are well.

Very pretty aqua top and shorts, cool and easy.

Hi Joy! Oh my I love those sleeves they are so cute. It's really been fun watching you do some different styles.❤😊

Name the doll “Jolene” she had red hair and green eyes and you love Dolly Parton.

Name the doll Aubrey !!! Hairspray takes out ink !!!

Oh, I really love your aqua shorts outfit! Aqua looks very becoming on you, too!😍 I was missing your videos, but I understand that life gets busy! Busy out here, too!

The sleeves are super nice! I suggest Brass buttons on that top. The colors are kind of muted and the bright will resolve that.

It is so good to see you. I miss your videos. Your tops are so pretty. I like the sleeves.

Lucy for the doll👩‍🦰

Nice to see you, Joy. That first floral top looks good on you. Your doll looks Irish. Maybe Bridget for a name?

I love that blue set, very very nice. You need a few more sets like that.

Hey Joy, Happy to see you & hear how well Jerry is doing. Love both the short set & the blouse.

Hello Joy! Good to see you. Glad yall are doing well. Like you short set and your floria blouse. Your right 2 buttons looks just fine.

Joy, Great "Arizona " outfit! I went out yesterday at 2:PM and the temperature read 115 degrees here in Phoenix.

So glad you finally got your internet going! It's good to see you again!
