Hey brother! Love your work. Could you tackle button up shirts and the gap at the chest area? As someone who wears bras but like the men’s button up shirts, I don’t like the gap between the buttons when I wear the shirt. People can see my bra you know? Was wondering what options are there besides a snap pin, etc. thanks!!!
Never seen an more animated and exuberant UA-cam sewing dude. I love how you purposly make mistakes so us dumb dumbs don't feel stupid and freak out. Subscribed on the first video!
Thank you so much for such a great tutorial! My tailor was going to charge me $140 to fit 5 of my favorite shirts, so I used that money to buy all the sewing material needed! Thanks Stylish D!!
I use my tailor's chalk with all sorts of projects. Highly recommend his suggestion to use that for guiding your stitch line. Get BOTH white and blue (the blue is for marking white or really light color fabrics). And use a utility knife or sharp pocket knife to scrape the drawing edge of the chalk to refresh the surface and sort of sharpen the chalk. Tailor chalk will get burnished by handling it and rubbing it on fabric. Burnished chalk doesn't draw well, the same way old burnished pencil erasers don't erase well. They both need to have the burnished surface scraped away (for the chalk) or abraded away (for the eraser). Nobody ever taught me about sharpening the chalk for each project, but it makes a world of difference.
Im a woman, I sew a lot!!! Now I knw how I can sew all my shirts, they fit so big & all my kids shirts they fit real bug also!!!!Thanks so much, very detailed video!!!! I love ur personality!!!!!
@@paulmorton4319 is this even a thing?! As far as I can tell, some of the best tailors of all time were men. Bespoke suits, alterations in general and denim. Literally all types of tailoring/sewing. Hell, even a lot of the big designer names are men.
I’m also a man, btw. Been tailoring my clothes for the last couple years. Mostly because of extreme frustration with my local tailors always getting the taper on my pants wrong. I’d have to always make 2-3 trips, for each pair of pants, just to get them right. And this becomes extremely time consuming and aggravating, when you have multiple pairs of chinos that need to be altered . Especially, when you get new clothes and want to wear them immediately. But, the tailor is backed up and it takes a whole 1-2 weeks just to get your clothes back the first time. For them all to be wrong. And then, 2-3 more trips after that for each pair, to get them right. I said fuck that! Bought a sewing machine and started doing it myself and now I get it right typically the 1st, or, 2nd try and it only takes me about 20-30min for each pair. Depending on how long it takes to measure my lines, draw a guide and do the actual sewing.
I literally just bought a sewing machine specially with the purpose of tailoring my own clothes so I'm brand-spankin' new at this and I find your tutorials super easy to follow. Thanks for including your fuck-ups and mishaps in the videos so we can all share the learning experience of how to fix them.
As a tall (6'4") but slim dude, it's literally impossible to find shirts that fit me probably. Even shirts that are already supposed to be slim fit end up being super baggy around the waste in sizes that are long enough. But yeah, this actually looks relatively easy to do, so I'll have to give it a shot (I'll definitely have to start with some cheapo shirts first though lol).
@@StylishDTailors this might be an unpopular opinion but baseball tees are my favorite but alot don't fit well, more importantly alot the focus is on the "U" cut at the bottom. If possible a tutorial on how to hem bottom seams would be extremely appreciated.
I'm totally with you man and will consider putting something together around that. In the meantime shoot me a message on Twitter and I can help you out!
I never knew what those buckwild zigzag scissors in my mom's sewing kit were for before now! 😄This is a super helpful video. If only I owned a sewing machine so I could utilize this knowledge.
Wonderful love how you totally explained what needle and thread to use not to mention why you use them . I have never seen anyone explain to the t . Thanks 😊
I have just discovered your videos. I am an experienced sewer and you are a great teacher! I love how you get to the point and make mistakes to show how to correct them. New subscriber here!
The improvements to the production quality really show, looking good! This is one of the best step by step videos so far. Very inspired to give tailoring another shot.
Really great tutorial, just started sewing and I can't believe how easy it is once you understand your machine. You definitely deserve more recognition, these videos are great and even entertaining!
I've lost some weight and really needed to start tailoring my own clothes. . Your channel has been awesome help! Love your attitude, energy and how you cut (no pun intended) right to the point! Thanks!
I followed these steps exactly, and was able to apply the same concept to a tubular T shirt (shirt w/o side seams) , and it worked like magic. Nice and fitted now!
Haha nice. My wife is an apparel production and design professor (she has a PhD in it) and runs the production lab at a major national university. I'm going to do this and surprise her with the new skill. Might try using her serger instead of the straight up machine. Great video!
This is such an amazing resource and UA-cam channel. You are an incredible presence and teacher. When you show the zig zag stitch little mishap and fix I was so impressed. The close ups are so helpful. Thank you!!!!
What an agreeable man. Out of all the not just sewing video's, but craft video's in general, your's is so wonderful to follow! Thank you so much for talking about every detail, and going through all the possibilities that could go wrong!
I am so glad I found you today this Christmas (2022) morning looking for how to tailor a Jacket getting over the flu and snow bound. Thank you for no long intros. I love your sewing machines noises and thorough sewing instructions. I use similar techniques to alter my women's tops and will share your link with my sewing students. I do have pinking shears not using them often loving my overlock machines. I thank God for your natural sewing pizzazz with your audience and will definitely watch and follow you. Hope your Christmas Day for your family is Blessed!
@@StylishDTailors it was actually what made me want to watch your videos again when I discovered you just so I wouldnt be rewinding it 10 times lmao I thought it made you seem more genuine and thats always cool to me so I binged watched your videos and then I was a fan now I'm a student, thank you Master SD * sewing samurai bow* 🙇
This was great, especially all the oopses. I watched 100s+++ videos and nobody gets to the real life fixes that I've learned the hard way! Great video.
Awesome! I can't wait to do my t-shirts this weekend! I bought men's XL 'cause I do not like the way the women's tees fit but I also don't like the box look. Excellent tutorials! Thanks!
I stumbled upon your video & i really liked it. I have ZERO experience in sewing, so I'm lucky to have found your video. Thanks for the tutorial. You got a new subscriber
So many years later, but THANK YOU for this! I've tried to watch most sewing videos, and I'm a chic, and most sewists are chics, and I swear, every single one, even beginners, are like, "next get our your serger..." Bite me lady! LOL In this case dude, I'm so happy to be "mansplained" to! So many shirts are about to go under the needle....
Never in a notable amount of time would i have guessed that the most enjoyable video of the day would be about making a t-shirt fit perfectly. Good stuff 💪🏻
Thanks man. I have a band tee that I'm absolutely in love with, but it's awfully baggy in all the wrong places, especially on my back. I'm going to practice on some cheap shirts, and hopefully I'll be able to fix up mine.
Thank you for for such an energetic an to the point video. Also thank you for making mistakes and showing how to fix them. By being real, you also saved me from having to watch multiple videos trying to solve those mistakes. I can finally make my favorite loose clothes fit better on me.❤
Nice video. Good teacher. Just want to leave my 2-cents here if it helps. Depending on the fabric, I zigzag stitch first before cutting the material as close as possible. Just make sure you do not cut away the stitch.
Perhaps this has already mentioned - but when working with t-shirt style material….I recommend sewing the zigzag BEFORE trimming the seam…avoids that run-off stitch issue!
Thanks man, you keep on making videos like this it's really game changing You have help us guys to be more self-reliant and care about our styles, like for real it feels like the society don't want us to dress good These videos have helped me a lot especially you quantifying measurements, explaining why things are done(like those pins and reverse stitching) and purposefully making errors and showing how to fix them 💯 (cause most of us get down when we make a mistake and give up)
As a fairly skinny guy with very broad shoulders, I hate how every garment looks boxy/ baggy on me. I don't have a sewing machine, but if I did, this is one of the mods I'd probably do most on my clothes.
awesome video. i grew up poor in detroit in the 80's i had to learn how to sew and modify whatever clothes i could find so i could wear more than the same 2 outfits. i was good in the hood!
I grew up in the Philippines where I watched my mother sew using an old school Singer sewing machine powered by feet using an oscillating pedal LOL that's how I learned how to sew... In the early 90s I was lucky enough to be taught by teachers in High School class called "Home Economics" and not only they taught us how to sew using a machine we also sew by hand which improved my sewing skills. (Plus home economics class taught me canning food, cooking food, growing food and hunt/gather for food) I'm glad I did because in our home, I am the one hemming pants and wife's scrubs and shirts and we saved some money LOL we are an endangered species bro LOL
I recently started learning how to tailor my clothes and I learned quick that measuring is the most important and difficult part. This helped me a lot. Thank you.
That was awesome! I’m also female but I’ve been wanting to learn how to do this. I hate baggy shirts. It should look tailored to fit precisely. I just found you. Loved this video. I will check out more!
Wow!! I don’t know why I clicked but I’m glad I did. Never sewn anything and don’t have a sewing machine, but you were so engaging I stayed and subbed. *That’s* charisma.
Subscribed. Love your energy and tutorials. So glad I found your channel. My clothes never fit straight from the store. You empowered me to get my own sewing machine today. Time to learn to use it. 🙃
One extra caution for safety, and avoiding frustration. Before "sewing" on a machine, using the wheel to move the needle through a few stitches without power to make sure you set it up properly. There are feet and throat plates for sewing machines that will not allow a zig zag stitch. They just have a narrow hole for a strait stitch, in the centre position. This isn't the default, but if someone else also uses the machine, it's possible they had a reason to change it out. Turning the wheel by hand gives you the chance to check everything lines up safely and accurately, before adding electricity - which can cause the needle to shatter, which is at best an annoying waste of time and means you have to replace the needle. At worst, it could send a broken piece of needle flying towards your face - lets save risking injuries for when we're saving lives please. ;)
I guess my phone heard me say "sewing machine" and suddenly my usual suggested videos has this. I know how to sew, I can already do this but I watched anyway. It was an entertaining and very informative video. I sub'd and liked the vid, and I'll be back because I'm DEFINITELY using your vids to teach my kids how to sew. Thank you! Great job.
Subscribed. Just about to get a sewing machine. I like how you 1. include the fuck ups and how to fix them, and 2. you're more easy-going and less perfectionist, which is the kind of teacher I need.

Holy smokes I'm using that, its like wearing a cereal box!
I use my tailor's chalk with all sorts of projects. Highly recommend his suggestion to use that for guiding your stitch line. Get BOTH white and blue (the blue is for marking white or really light color fabrics). And use a utility knife or sharp pocket knife to scrape the drawing edge of the chalk to refresh the surface and sort of sharpen the chalk.

Subscribed. Just about to get a sewing machine. I like how you 1. include the fuck ups and how to fix them, and 2. you're more easy-going and less perfectionist, which is the kind of teacher I need.
Thanks for the feedback! Let me know if you need any help finding a solid machine!
I took a medium and made it small! Thank you very much!!
Great job! You're very welcome!
Knowing how to use a sewing machine and do some basic tailoring opens up a whole new world of nice clothes for dirt cheap
So true!
Finally a man with some sense of style!
