Your tutorials are excellent. Clear, concise directions. And your filming and editing are outstanding. I appreciate that your close-ups are crisp and close enough that you've made it easy for a viewer to see exactly what you're doing, and that your voice-overs perfectly sync with what you're teaching. I hope more people find your channel. I'll be watching all of your videos.
I'm a complete FAN!! Your teaching style along with the great camera angles make these videos priceless. Please keep up the great work, you're the best I've found on the internet.
This is really well done. I just found your channel and will be referring to it in the future for minor alterations. I appreciate that you know that most people do not have a serger! What a nice channel.
2:51 I've been looking for this term for so many years, you don't even know!! Abercrombie & Fitch used to have "muscle" shirts that had small, "capped" sleeves and it would emphasize my deltoid muscles so well. Now I know. Thank you!!
I have loved this series. I do have a question. You mention how your chalk wasn't sharp enough. How do you sharpen it? I've never worked with wax taylors chalk. (Quilter here, so I have always used heat eraseable marker)
No. You're going to want to do the shoulders first as narrowing the shoulders will also shorten the sleeves a bit. And not every shirt will bell out. It depends on the fabric and how your machine pulls it.
@@TailorItYourself I've just purchased a serger --4 thread version, which thread do I take off to just enclose a cut edge? Thanks for your great teaching videos.
I have t-shirts that sleeves are v-shape on the armpit side therefore they are shorter than the bicep side. Should I shorten just the equal amount both sides, let's say 4 cm around the sleeve or make the both sides of the sleeve same length that means it won't be anymore v-shape? In your shirt the sleeves have equal length already.

Thank you very much for the kind feedback. I appreciate you watching!
I was so intimidated at the idea of altering some tshirts; you've given me the confidence to make some adjustments.
Thank you!
Wonderful! That's what this series is all about. I'm glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching!

I have loved this series. I do have a question. You mention how your chalk wasn't sharp enough. How do you sharpen it? I've never worked with wax taylors chalk. (Quilter here, so I have always used heat eraseable marker)
I run a razor along the edge, kind of like peeling an apple with a knife.
Thanks!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching.
Would it make a difference if you shorten the sleeves before narrowing the shoulders? Would that prevent some of the belling?
No. You're going to want to do the shoulders first as narrowing the shoulders will also shorten the sleeves a bit. And not every shirt will bell out. It depends on the fabric and how your machine pulls it.
Your tutorials are super, thanks! You mention a 3 or 4 thread serger. It looks like yours is a 4 thread. Are you using 3 threads for a reason? tia
The 4th thread sews a seam together. That isn't needed for this sleeve. We're only using 3 threads to encase the cut edge.
Thank you. I used to have a 3 thread and wondered about the difference.

@nancya8262 The needle all the way to the left is the one you don't need.

I can't quite visualize what you're describing. If you want to send me a picture at tailorityourself@gmail.com I can provide further guidance.
