"I hope it helped somebody out there!" - It did! Thanks a lot Denise! After years without a sewing machine, I just ordered a new one and it will arrive tomorrow, so I started to watch tutorials to refresh my memory and learn new skills. Your tutorial will help me save my favorite jeans shirt, I couldn't throw it away and I keep it in a drawer for years. 😂😂😂 Greetings from Romania!
@@Sewlimitless Thanks a lot! I used to make myself a lot of clothes when I was very young, was a magazine named Burda(still exist), which was very difficult to get here, because it was communism back then. now with youtube it will be easier for me to progress. last week i felt the urge to order the sewing machine, because the things to fix were stockpiling for years 😂 i will check your other videos as well! have a great week!
Thank you! The idea of reinforcing and THEN flipping and reattaching is a new one for me and is how I will do my next repair. (On my past repairs, I used to simply flip it, but after a few more wears, even the other side began to fray.)
Neat idea Denise! Yes, your process was totally understandable! I am definitely not an “alterations” person, I would have made a whole new shirt, LOL! 😂😂😂
Out of several videos I saw you are the only person who has thought of the rear portion which will not be seen by others but one wearing knows its torn and not properly dealt with.Dedicated artist always thinks of finishing eventhe rear of an idol..that's an artist with dedication and love for his/her work.😊😊 .
Hello Denise, I enjoyed watching your video. However I have a dilemma that I'm wondering what advice might you give me. I have about seven or eight custom made shirts that the collar has completely frayed in half this is due to dry cleaning and pressing the collar over many years. I don't want to get rid of the shirt as they are very expensive. I was told that I could take the shirttail and cut the fabric from their to make a new collar. Do you by any chance know if that's possible? Also do you repair shirts such as the description I gave above and if so what do you charge for that? I greatly appreciate your help in this matter. Thanks Milton
Thank you for the detailed (and clear) question. To answer the last part first, no, I don't do that kind of work. But, I think the idea of using the shirttail to make a new collar is genius! That's probably the only way to ensure you have matching fabric. I would remove the current collar to use as a pattern for the new one. You may even be able to take the inside interfacing (if it's sew-in interfacing) to use again. If that's not the case, I would try to find an interfacing of the same weight. Just remember to include a seam allowance (probably 1/4"-1/2"). Best of luck and thanks for reaching out. ✂
Seems like a good video, but could you please give a video on how to repair a normal shirt without a pop out collar and show how to fix a hole directly below the collar seam. Cannot find anyone with the same problem as me so far
My shirts cost £125.00 each or $160.00 and lots of them have become frayed. I am looking to save a fortunate as I have at least 5 that can be repaired.
You do not explain well at all on how to remove the collar or attach a new piece on the back of the frayed collar. I think I know what you did and will try it on an old frayed shirt. If successful I have a few more shirts to fix for my neighbor.
Partially true. I did assume the viewer would know that they have to unpick the stitches to remove the old collar. At about 1:29 I show how I attached the new fabric to the collar. But you have given me the idea that now that it’s 2 years later, I can update the video and make it perhaps more detailed. So thanks for the idea. ✂️👍🏾

Marvellous 😊
@@jd7713 thank you
Thank you! My husband has two shirts like this….I’ll give it a whirl. 😀
Great! I hope it helps ✂
How do you get the collar off?
You have to remove the collar by removing the stitches. I used a seam ripper or thread snips.
Sometime can you do a video on repairing a rayon shirt collar, please.
I don't have any rayon shirts to repair, but I'm thinking the process would be the same. It would just be using different material.
Thank you.
Glad it helps. ✂

I’m probably not the person for that. I don’t do a lot of “repair” sewing, so what you’ve described isn’t in my skill set.
Brillante.
Thank you
so helpful.........
Thank you!
Pretty smart
Thank you 😊
I like your good idea. Please next time don't move your camera too much it made me feel very sick. Hope to see more bright ideas. Many thanks.
Thanks Niki. Unfortunately, I'm not a professional so the camera is mounted to the table-if it moves, the camera moves 🤷🏾♀️. Thanks for watching! ✂️
