Tutorials

Hello there! Here you can find all the tutorials and printables by me – Joy Kelley, all of them are FREE, unless they have a price tag on the image. I also wanted to point out that I am no sewing expert, I’m just really passionate about it and all of my tutorials are made for the fun of sharing (I LOVE it) and I have no formal education in either sewing or English (Spanish is my native language) so sometimes I may not always use the correct terminology or the best process, because I am always learning too! It might not always be perfect, but it’s sure a lot of fun! and I enjoy sharing my process with all of you!

If you complete any of these tutorials I would LOVE to see your finished product. Please share your pictures in the SewJoyful Flickr group or leave a link to your post in the comments section of the tutorial. I just ask you lovelies to use these tutorials and printables for personal use only, if you want to sell items made with these tutorials please purchase a Limited Production License if you don’t see the item you want there, just Contact me and I’ll add it.

If you share them or blog them, please do not share the complete post and share a link and credit back to this blog and DO NOT link directly to downloads, please read my Site Policy (I will always make sure to do the same for others because it’s the right thing to do) hope you all enjoy, Thank you!
