Hi. I love this video. I've used it several times. Just used it again today. I have trouble finding simple short sleeved mens dress shirts without a front pocket to work in - I perform music and a short sleeved collared shirt is the ticket. I add a diagonal stitch under the arm to tighten the sleeve a bit and adds a little modern style. Your technique is perfect. Thank you for providing it!

I did the hem just as you instructed but when I washed it, it all raffled out what should I have done?

[@sandig4223]

I really enjoyed the tutorial as others did, but when I went to sew the sleeve it bunched up at the seam because of extra material. How do I fix it so it looks finished like your sample?

[@sewway]

Watch another video in the "Sewing Techniques" playlist - video "How to Hem a Short Sleeve Shirt - Easy Way". In the video shows how to eliminate such a defect.

[@itsjoannotjoann5070]

Ummmmm, why didn't you turn the shirt wrong-side out and pin to the desired length? You did it completely backward. And then when it's time to sew you wrestled with just a few stitches at a time, stop, reposition the sleeve, sew, reposition the sleeve and sew again. You had a free-arm on your machine that would have made *much* quicker work of that project.

[@sewway]

Do as you like, the main thing is that it is also neat and beautiful.
