If only I could spend a week with you Love when you sew with instructions
Love love love your easy to follow tips. The visuals are amazing. Funny how we have so many of the same challenges that you address so wonderfully. Keep the videos coming!!! You're an excellent teacher.
Love that blue and white stripe. It's so fresh and clean and pretty.
This series is wonderful. You are such a natural at teaching. Thank you so much.
I like them all , Joy you give out lessons and laughter in every lesson. Thank you.
Thank you joy for all your help . Your a very clever lady 👏👏😘
I love your tops! Thanks so much for the sew along!
Miss Joy, I just want to thank you for your fruit of labor, i appreciate you so. It is fun to sew along with you, Blessings
WOW! Lots of hard work went into all three videos. I found them very informative and much more interesting than anything that was on Sunday night television. And I just like tuning in to see what's going on in your life. Take care and thank you.
Mama!! Mama!! Isn't that what a child says? lol Thank you for being our sewing Mama. You know, I think I like the 2 Dolman tops best! They are all pretty and the blue stripe Seaside is a nice color for you. You are such a good teacher! I truly appreciate how you taught us about the different fitting adjustments. Thank you so very much for all you have done for us. I have learned a lot from you and always love seeing your creations! Get some rest, you deserve it. Hugs
Wow, wonderful series. The tops are great. Vivmom and you have got me sewing clothes.or I should say ...try to make clothes. With these videos, I see why and how I need to alter patterns. Thank you for so much info. Fingers crossed my next try is successful.
Joy, thank you for the amazing tutorial on making a tee.I appreciate all the hard work you do to create these tutorial.
I love hearing what is going on in your life and the stories you tell. Hope you are having a blessed day.
You are the best. Loved all your tops, especially the stripe. You really look good in all of them, but the blue stripe is your color. Also, love your personality. Can’t wait to see your next video.
Thank you so much for doing this series. Lots of helpful information especially related to fit....applies to any pattern. The fit you obtained on the first blue top was superb. Off to my sewing room to work on my t-shirt now that I've seen the pro do it! :)
Wow watched all 3 videos. Awesome thank you for so much information
Love your blouse your wearing. So colorful
Thank you Joy for sharing this helpful information and the different variations. I really learned so much and can't wait to get started on some new tops.
Excellent sewing videos Joy. At first I couldn't understand the Dartless Dart and thought it was a lot of work. Now I want to do the drafting of it for sure. Your blue/white stripe shirt looked sew nice on you. I think your helper is a sweetheart.
Reply to add that the Mini Cutting Mat would be the ticket for trimming . I have made booboos on 4 garments by snipping into the garment. Thanks for that tip. You have shared quite a few tips. Thank you Thank you!
I like the strips the way you first did and like the sleeve. Glad you thought of the diagonal back, really like it.
Well, thanks to you, Joy, I finally decided to take the plunge and order the Fit Nice books & Master Top pattern. Here’s hoping that between you, Judy & her pattern, I may finally make something that truly fits. Fingers crossed! This series of 3 Fit Nice top videos has just been so informative and fun. Thank you!
Love you teaching us. I loved the half and half. I'm ready to try it.
Enjoyed this series very much, glad you are picky and have enough material to rethink and come up with that diagonal...great. I did like the Chanel neck, it was done perfectly but you are wearing it and it needs to be comfortable. I learned so much and I am not a novice sewer, sewist. Agree the green one was off. It looked like a woven floral over a green tee shirt. Marci Tilton makes many combo knits and even sells bundles that work together...quite expensive though.
I am so pleased. My first Fit Nice top was the easiest and best fit I have had in years! Have made three tops, so far, and now going to start many variations. So fun, thank you for these informing and encouraging videos!
Enjoyed your lessons. Haven’t had time during the day to give them a try yet, but I’ll have the resources when I get started. Always our pleasure to watch you and learn.
Love this. Thank you for showing all these tops. Just attended Judy s fit fashion day at Novi expo. Now inspired to make many tops.
Oh my goodness you are the most talented sewist / seamstress / clothes maker upper I have ever seen. I love all your tops.
WOW! That is the funnest title I have EVER been given!!! Thank you.
Joy, for all you do - thank you!
You bring instructions to life with your bright and cheerful attitude. Even when I can't see, I still find inspiration watching your videos.
(Remember in The Music Man, before the instruments arrived? That's how I feel sometimes when I watch sewing videos)
See= sew
I LOVE the Music Man! I have the CD and listen to it a lot. Seventy-six trombones .....
Brava! Brava! Applause, applause! Flinging roses at your feet!
My favorite is number 1, and material girl!
Thank you for taking the time to do this! Your a great teacher!
Thank you for all the ideas!!
Kudos to Joy! I am 72 today and back to sewing for myself & no kids' costumes etc. I need a lot of alterations as I keep clothes forever and kept my weight down. Except my shirts hang off my shoulders and get stuck around my midriff lol. I sew prints but buy stripes. Thank you for these great informative vids. ❤ to you and Jerry.
I found you yesterday and I have a girl crush on you! You’re so stinking cute and fun! Thank you thank you for sharing your genius sewing WITH your beautiful spirit! Xoxo
Thanks Joy. Great series. 2nd to last was my favorite.
omgosh i love the blue stripped seaside top .......its awesome
I love all of your tops. You do a wonderful job of teaching. Now I need to get busy and start sewing. What an inspiration!!! Thank you! See you as soon as you are rested!!
Oh my goodness, what fun! I love all the different styles. I'll be trying them all! Thanks do much for doing this series!
Thank you for the tutorials. I learned a lot. The tops turned out pretty. I love the shirts on you. Great job Joy.
This was a good series. Thank you.
Great tops and great series! Thanks!
Wonderful videos!!! Going to copy all your ideas, Thanks for all the work!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I love the fabric too! They turned out great.🌼🌼🌼
Great tutorial, so nice to see all the different variations, it will work fantastically with our SFD patterns. Thank you very much
Love love the top #1, too. Love the half and half. too.
Wow!!!! love them-- I also love your red tie-front top that you are wearing...awesome sewalong Joy- thank you!!
Thank you for all this great information. Great job, Joy.
That was an awesome video, I can so but not as well as you can. Can't wait to see the next video.
Joy it was all worthwhile - you make sewing easy!
As usual Joy ... you knocked it out of the park again... a huge thank you 🙏🏻... as a beginner you’ve answered some pattern design and fit questions that will be game changing ... I’ve been very discouraged because my garments have just not been turning out as something I will wear... a huge thank you again!!!!!!!
I absolutely loved your tutorials! You make it look so easy. I want to make one of every one of the tops you made. You should start making more tutorials more often. You are so talented and I learned so many new techniques from just those 3 tutorials that you did. I’m excited to sew now.
I love watching your show, I bing watch
Joy, you inspired me so much with the stripes so I had to make also a shirt with stripes. After playing around a bit I decided to do a chevron stripe. I love it.
The tops are great. Fabulous job.
Love all your new tops.l have learned a lot.God bless you and yours.
Thank you so much! I loved each minute; yes, even the lesson about multiplication of 9’s! LoL. Have a beautiful day. ~ L
I remember the Felix the Cat theme song! That's a nostalgia trip! We had to learn multiplication tables by rote - sort of singing it, haha. This was a helpful video, Joy
I bought the Nice Fit books when it was on special with "Joy" and haven't used it .... but can't wait to make the half and half, I absolutely love that blouse in black and floral on you!!
Thank you so much Joy. I love you enthusiasm. It rubs off. I’ve made several of the fit nice top but all the same. I’ve got to stretch myself. Okay so now are you going to do her pants?
Loved Loved Loved the tutorial!!!
I learned a lot today! Thanks for the tutorials!
Great tutorial! Learned so much😊
Thank you for these tutorials! I have just received my Dress Kit from SureFit Designs and began making my first Master Pattern for my fittings. A little daunting at first. I particularly liked your tip of drawing around your own body. It really helps to see where we are "off" and laying your pattern up to the shoulders, was a great help to me...my right shoulder is wider than my left...and I could see it right away!
The shoulder drawing is fabulous if you sew for yourself. One of the very best things I ever learned.
I would be honored to be one of your sewing children 😍 All Of the tops turned out great! I think I'll copy the material girl shirt if you don't mind 😘😍😘 btw you and vivmom got me addicted to fabricmart 😉
Love you Joy your the funniest and the best.....in the video you asked about the page that tells you were everything is...its called the index page
looks great, love your idea better
Dolman sleeve I like best on you and the longer length looks good also.
I think this way would look good in a dress.
Loved all the videos!
Just caught your video. Enjoyed it very much. I am in need of some tops and bottoms and this way of making my own looks really good. Plus I have a little stash. My biggest concern is the part about getting your measurements before you start. Is this hard?
Thanks again
Karla 🤔
Thanks for making sense of the madness
Joy, you are amazing! I wish I lived closer. We could be such good friends. We are almost the same age but my granddaughter (who loves you) says you look younger. God bless you and your sweet measuring man.
Thank your sweet granddaughter for me!
Jerry keep PERFECT EYE ON YOU ABD STRIPS hahaha ... you guys are so cute .
Great tutorial
Try using some french fuse with your knits. Helps on your slippery ITY.
Your tops are lovely.
I loved the rounded Chanel trim on the seaside.
That chanel trim did turn out great. I was surprised myself at how great it looked. I just like a lower neck.
beautiful and you made the top for sleeves so that may make a difference with the gap
Love the tops. All so cute. I agree don’t really like #3. You’re right about the cut on the green. It would look better cut more lower center and the green really screams look at me.
Exactly!! That one will be going to Goodwill or the trash.
You would have been able to use the other fabric if you were not turning the fabric in different ways. With the stripes going different way could that have made it drop differently?
It's fun to see how you do long atmosphere then skip to your wild design fabrics fir shirts then skip to pj skip to trousers skip to embroidery skip to jeweleryskip to vinyls and now colourblocking ...... sewing is so fun .
On the dolman tops did you do the bust and back adjustmentsl?
Very nice!!
Not sure if you will get this or not but love your videos and I just started using Judy's fitnicesystem. I am making the seaside one, but when I cut the front, two pieces my necking doesn't match up will it match better after I make my scoop neck? I watched your video several times, but you don't mention about the neck after your first cut. Can you explain.
Hmmmm. Your neck should be exactly right BEFORE you cut it into two pieces. Then you add seam allowance to each side -- since you cut it apart. The two pieces should go right back together.
Joy, I don’t have the workbooks from Judy yet: waiting till “my” payday this week. Anyway, is it hard to change the neckline to a v-neck instead of the rounded neck. Those look better on me. I love the green striped one you are wearing in this video, too.
Easy to change to a V. Judy put some V shapes on the back of her Master Top Pattern.
I'm in Canada and wanted to order Judy's big book but with exchange, boarder charges, taxes would be way over $200.00 so I'll just be envious of all your shirts. Thx Joy!!! Awesome as usual!!
I hate that freight is so terrible high for other countries. You can get the pdfs if there is a style you want to try. Go to www.fitnicesystem.com. Click on "shop", and the "variations". You can go down through them all and most have a video at the bottom. You might not even need the variation. Any tee pattern will do. Have you tried the FREE ABB Tee?
You’re a doll! Crack me up and I learn so much! I wanna come sew with you. Do you offer retreats?
I would love to do small retreats, but the closest airport is 2 hours away. I hate that ladies would have to drive so far to my house, and I hate going to DFW.
Joy Bernhardt aww perhaps retreats will be somehow “sponsored” at some point in a central area. I’m just now leaving the comfort of commercial patterns as I’ve discovered the RUclips wealth of instruction. So far I’m planning on getting into the SFD, but I may go on from there too. As I said, it’s an absolute delight to have found you. Thank you for your knowledge and joy for the process! Until then, see you here in virtual learning!! ♥️
You could call the muslin , your first draft!
My sewing Joy!
Great tutorial. I am interested in the books, was there a coupon code? I think they are not on sale now.
Yes. The code is "tulip". Small letters.
Can you tell the pattern that you are wearing in this show?
Love it.
Wow what enjoyment watching all 3 video's. Awesome job! I love them all. The icing on the cake.."Special appearance by Jerry " I just love watching the two of you together so cute and the deep love the two of you share shines through. I laughed so hard when you said to buy more than one of the seam gauge.....right now I have two of them hiding some where in my house. I think I may buy The Master Top Pattern and follow your directions. It would cost me an arm and a leg to get her book shipped to me not to mention the U.S. to Canadian exchange. Thanks so much for all you do Joy, you are such a blessing.❤️
I enjoyed the three-part series of FitNice System. I like you require a bust dart as I am a plus-size lady with G - H cups. I still have not received my FitNice System pack in the mail as I live in Australia when the videos finished I was left wondering what the top would look like without the darts, in its original pattern and hope I haven't wasted my money on something Surefit Designs would make it exactly the first time. However, I do like all the variations and think that was the draw-card when deciding to purchase. Thank you for all the time you spent it is appreciated. Incidentally, on your other videos, you have a few variations of a similar top - sleeveless, three-quarter sleeves, V-neck and round neck. They are all made with stretch fabric, fitted at the bust, and curve out over the hips. Can you tell me what pattern you used for these patterns?
My FAVORITE pattern like that is the Style Arc Kim Swing Top.

Hi Joy! Today is Tuesday, May 19,2020😉 question for you... did you have an FBA in the dolman sleeve tops you made? I think those were my favorite . And yes- I think you look great in blue! ❤️
Yes. The FBA was in the pattern because I used the original pattern I showed you and added the dolman sleeve to it.
Loved it
What ends on 6 19? Will the vidios go away?
The green and black crossover, maybe shorten it about six inches, maybe three inch slits at bottom side seam, maybe on the inside waist at side seams sew about a three inch elastic on each side to cinch waist and. Give more shape - the floral side is too big and flat. Just my ideas from this view.
I love material girl. Describes us sewing enthusiasts to a T.
The green and floral is pretty, but the top just looks too long. You'll like it better when you shorten the length, in my opinion.
I love your tutorial. You have inspired me. What is the name of the book you used again?? I am trying to find the tutorial for the stripe dolman you did. You were wearing it!! I love your styles! Thank you. How do you adjust when you have tiny boobs???
You can do a SMALL bust adjustment. I'm sure you can find a RUclips tutorial for that.
what brand mannequin do you have?
I bought that from Hancock Fabrics many years ago. It was on sale for $99.
The back is hanging longer because the fabric was cut on the bias. The front issue is from cutting one on the length wise grain and one on crossgrain they stretch different amounts
Those things are not true in a knit according to Peggy Sagers. The striped fabric stretched the same amount both directions, but that would certainly be true otherwise. Peggy says there is "No Bias" in a knit except for changing the direction of the stripe.
Joy Bernhardt Thanks, i was wondering where you learned that. I love your videos. Im trying to sew up some of my stash while I’m stuck at home here in Washington st. Like you, I’ve perfected the fit of a knit t shirt pattern that i can also lengthen and make into a t shirt dress I also finally have a vest pattern I like the fit of. I put in a slight round back and its so much better. I also put pockets in the lining so i don’t have to carry my purse into the grocery store Im calling my recent sewing my Covid wardrobe 😉
Joy you are so talented. I have been trying to make clothes for years, I have a similar shape to you. I have not got one single item when finished that I can wear, they never look good, or fit properly. I have even tried surfeit designs
Night shirt
