      My man, you go through all that trouble to make a t-shirt fit? Wow! I grew up in the 90s I don't relate. I prefer my clothes loose & comfortable. I'd rather see you spend your time on learning how the world works. Like The Great Reset for example. That's a project being proposed by an individual by the name of Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum. It's basically a plan to bring in a world government dictatorship. You might say, that's conspiracy theory. Well Klaus & his Great Reset was just featured in a recent issue of Time magazine. As a matter of fact, The Great Reset made the cover. Look it up. I'm not saying you shouldn't be concerned about your appearance, but that's a little much dude.

    I'm making a point to comment on all of your sewing videos: as a young man who tailors his own clothes (who's also a rugged, outdoorsy guy, through-and-through), I am always happy to see someone (especially a man's style YT channel) promote this activity. It gives you a large degree of independence, which I think is an essential part of being a man

    Truly a useful skill to have. Boulder shoulders, big chest and thicc lats mean lots of t shirts fit poorly. A few nips and tucks on a t shirt make a massive difference in the way you look to others.
    I buy cheap t shirts in quantity and adjust. They last about a year and a half if I rotate well and wash about every 2 weeks (worn once, usually half a day).
    Would cost the same to buy 3 or 4 name brand t shirts, which would last maybe less time as they would be worn more time and require a more frequent laundry cycle.

    I finally found mine from hurley and bought ever color I could find at tjmax. I'm tall and thin and hate when the sleeves are huge. Also found that blended shirts do so much better than 100 cottons of the old days. Even tho cotton has gotten better.

      Look for an older one on Craigslist. Older machines are better. If it doesn't already work well or needs adjustments take it to a sewing machine repair shop to have it oiled and adjusted.

    • @krane15

      The one in the video is very affordable. Although I think they may have upgraded the model. Anyway, its just under $200 which I'm sure should be more than sufficient for someone like me that's only interested in making those basic fit alterations.. Had no idea they went up to $1000!

    I heard that when you make a curved line instead of a straight line from the sleeve to the pin, it gives a much better fit!

  • @KabbaVArtAndDesign
    @KabbaVArtAndDesign 3 роки тому +1

    So a word of caution. Straight stitches on stretch fabrics aren’t really a good idea as if the fabric is pulled or stretches the stitches tend to break. Best recommendation use a serger/overlock sewing machine made for this specific type of alteration and fabric. Or trim the fabric leaving 1/4” seam allowance, pin and finish the edge with a zig zag stitch only. Zig zag stitches stretch with cotton knit material.

    • @kray3883
      @kray3883 3 роки тому +1

      I agree the straight stitch made me die a little, but a serger is overkill for anyone who only does a few simple alterations.
      All of the modern computerized machines have a stretch stitch (lingerie stitch/lightning bolt) and even the mechanical machines should be able to do a narrow zigzag.
      You can even get good results with a straight stitch if you set a longer stitch length and stretchhhhh your fabric as you sew, once you iron it it looks like a normal length stitch but it has enough ease in the thread that it won't pop.

Narrator does a great job of getting to the point and sharing good info. And yes, I really do need to take in a shirt & found this! Great tip on the double needle…. I have a serger which helps but so does using that twin needle!
