I’ve been really down lately while being stuck in a crappy job and a crappy state while not being able to pursue my actual goals all while my 20s have passed by without any real accomplishments. Then I heard what you said at the end of the video and realized that all things considered I should stop staring morosely out the window at my current situation and get my head back into the game

[@bikertom98]

Your comment about not having your mom to ask questions and using her machine really struck a chord with me. My mom passed earlier this year, and I've been teaching myself to sew in honor of my mom. She created many pieces of clothing, pillows, quilting, biker pajamas for me, etc. I was so proud of myself for recently fixing a broken patio umbrella rod pocket seam the other day. Finesse didn't matter since no one would see it, but i got it done on my mom's old sewing machine! Thanks for your videos (and Patriotism), I'm looking forward to tailoring some of my potato sack t-shirts.

[@StylishDTailors]

Ahh man I'm so sorry for your loss, you're only a few months out so I totally know how you feel. It's such a hard place to be in, but coming from someone who didn't think it would get better let me tell you, it does. She's watching you and is proud that you're putting that machine to good use!

You need to get yourself a magnetic seam guide! Makes sewing straight lines so much easier. $4.99. And, raise your table with bed risers $10 or so. Much easier on your back and easier to see your stitching. Love your videos, motivating me to alter my tees.

[@WeebRemover4500]

if you have a couple steel plates and some magnets you dont even have to order it

[@b.walker5955]

I have no real experience sewing but the whole time watching I was thinking Wonder if they make a plate guide cause I am not going to be about to hold that line. THANK YOU! PS. Can you explain why removing more than 3 inches you CAN'T keep the original hem? if the shirt is a true tube and precisely the same width would that be the exception?

[@kwootten76]

Thank you so much for your channel. I tell all my friends about you. I am an elderly grandmother who makes quilts. BUT never figured out tailoring. I ran across your videos and voila! I tell my friends your videos are so easy to follow. I love how you break it down into super basic steps that even non-sewers can follow. I also love your philosophy that the inside doesn't have to look professional (my prior hangup) as long as the outside does! That has made a radical shift in my thinking. I have lost ALOT of weight and am now pulling out some of my favorites from 1-2 sizes ago, not ready for the 3-4 sizes ago yet and making them fit! Yea! Thank you so much. This old lady has learned so much from you, I'm passing the word to other grannies who just do basic pattern sewing like me and are afraid to tailor. You are not just speaking to men, (but that is what makes you great and sets you apart from others on youtube, I chuckle at your comments for guys so don't stop!). The best part is your assumption that your viewer doesn't even know what a pinking sheer is! That makes your videos the easiest to follow directions on youtube, when it comes to tailoring. My husband is very involved in a ministry to released prisoners who have no where to go and no money. They have housing for them and a guaranteed job at a factory. I go to bargain bin (basically amazon returns) stores and buy NEW, NICE mens clothes in multiple sizes. I have recently told the director to have them watch your videos so they can tailor the items they like to fit. Don't know if they have done it or not, probably need to find a machine for them. But I am encouraging them to try and do it, all because of you!

[@demayoexperience]

[@christianperry9957]

I recommend using a twin needle for stretch fabrics if you don’t have a serger. It will space the two straight stitches perfectly and the back side will be a zig zag so the seam will stretch with the fabric so no more wavy nonsense

[@toodlerue]

YES twin needles are so much easier then sewing 2 lines 1/8" apart!

[@b.walker5955]

@@toodlerue New to this thing called sewing...what is this wizardry of twin needles? Eureka this could help this newbie greatly! THANKS!

[@toodlerue]

@@b.walker5955 Twin needles use 2 different spools of thread threaded through the machine together & then into a twin needle (2 needles on one shank). It makes parallel stitches that are evenly spaced with a zigzag on the underside. Perfect for hemming knits!

[@b.walker5955]

@@toodlerue Oh THANK YOU! I can see and understand fully after watching the video the difference. In this tshirt I have before me, that twin needle is more likely how this hem was formed. Is has that zig zaggity thing under neath and on top the dual stitches are synced and calming my ocd. No offense to our host, but his technique has me shaking and quivering. I was wondering how the stitches could mirror one another with a single needle the answer is they can't. Do keep in mind, I have no idea how to turn on a sewing machine, how to load or wind a bobbin, nor what thread to use ... so he is leaps and bounds beyond me and my "expertise". But I am twin spin all the way, when I do learn. thanks again!

[@Curt_Randall]

I wish I knew how to use a sewing machine. As a slim guy, I am sick of shirts off the rack having way too much fabric with my correct size. I am not into the blousey look. Even "slim fit" shirts usually still have too much. having all my shirts tailored gets too expensive. I wish also manufacturers made shirts with waist sizes, just like pants.

[@gwynethsauceda431]

Curt Randall it’s surprisingly easy if you have a good machine. Try the Singer Stylist 7258, toooons of different stitch settings and veeeery user friendly. I’m kind of trying to figure it out on my own and let mistakes happen so I am really learn and see what’s wrong, my first mistake, not ironing before, I was wondering why it came out wonky and wasn’t flat enough. 😬

Am I the only one who loves when he says “ stupid”!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@StylishDTailors]

Nope, I do too :)

[@rennzzos788]

Ok, so you need to use a stretch stitch for tee shirts, otherwise the thread will eventually break from just putting it on and taking it off. Pull on the original hems of any of your tee shirts, in the direction of the stitch. Then, in the same way, pull on one that you've sewn without a stretch stitch, and you'll see what I mean. Also, there are double needles for your machine that do that stitch a quarter inch apart in one pass. They can be a pain, though. There's also a quarter inch double-sided tape for hemming called "Dritz Wonder Tape". It goes inside the fold of the seam and adheres the fabric together. It really helps to keep the hem in place, and it prevents the fabric from stretching while you're sewing. The tape is not permanent--the adhesive dissolves when you launder your shirt. Finally, a walking foot, instead of a regular presser foot, really helps to advance the top fabric of the hem at the same rate as the lower fabric during sewing. So you see, hemming a tee shirt properly isn't exactly an easy prospect if you don't have some experience sewing. Keep practising, though. That's what sewing is all about. Good luck.

[@StylishDTailors]

Thanks for sharing your tips! I sort of agree with you on the stretch needle, but I've sewed dozens of tees with a regular universal needle and haven't had any issues with blown seams or anything like that at all. You obviously want to be careful taking it off and putting it on, but that goes without saying. I also know there are double needles and special presser feet that make jobs like this easier. I like to make my videos for the guy who wants to buy the minimal amount of accessories to go with his machine. Would a double needle make this easier? Absolutely, but it isn't NEEDED though either. One thing I definitely agree with is the fact that yes, sewing gets easier with practice. It's taken me years to get everything down, and as you know mistakes can still happen, but it's life.

[@rennzzos788]

@@StylishDTailors Stretch stitch, SD, not stretch needle. It's an adjustment on your sewing machine. So, you can make a regular straight stitch a stretch stitch by just turning the dial on your machine. Make sure you do some practice stitches on the scrap tee shirt fabric that you've cut off, so that you can see if the stitch length and thread tension are ok.

[@iheartbridalcouture5989]

Actually SD you shouldn't treat your garments before you sew if you value your machines. Starch and other chemicals will be pushed into your machine with your needles. Same principle as hemming jeans with dirt in the hem. It builds up. You can press before you sew if you want but putting pins in and hemming it and then pressing it is just as good. A lot of times the edge you press rolls and your hem is a little off. And I've taken up original hems as long as 14 inches. It works. Like your vids. 😊

Any advice, much appreciated. Thank you!

[@iheartbridalcouture5989]

@@b.walker5955 Yes you can do the original hem on t shirts any length First measure how much you want to shorten it. Divide that measure in half. As in if the total you want to shorten it is 4” you’re going to use 2” Turn it inside out and make a fold 2” NOT including the original hem. It should be about 1” Pin your hem to the fold making sure your total being folded up isn’t more than 3” because you need 2” folded Sew a seam very close to the original stitches but not on them about an 1/8 of an inch Then trim off your 2” folded fabric to about 1/4 inch Press down your new hem with your excess all pressed up Now sew a seam on top 1/8 inch away from your seam You will have 3 seams showing the two original and your new top stitch but if you match it close to the color it kinda goes away Hope I gave good instructions 😊😊😊 It’s the same principle as in original Jean hems

We have very different styles, I like the oversized and baggy clothes. That being said, I appreciate the work and craftsmanship you put into your shirts. Super cool video!

How to easily shorten a long t-shirt: Put in wash, wash on high heat Aaaaaand that's why I don't make videos

[@StylishDTailors]

Lol!

[@dr.anaghashete6158]

Won't they go back to original after ironing them?

[@StylishDTailors]

Won't what go back to normal the new hem? No because you're making it permanent by sewing it in.

[@schplergen6630]

That's shrinking not shortening

You're welcome bro, have a good day!

I notice you sew the seams with the shirt inside out or on what they call the “wrong side.” That would put the bobbin thread on the outside of the shirt. I guess it doesn’t matter if you use the same thread on the bobbin. I was taught that if you are doing a visible stitch it should be done on the fabric’s “right side.” Does it really matter?

[@StylishDTailors]

Doesn't matter really, but I would strongly suggest sewing on the inside for sure

[@AustinFerguson666]

I’m new to sewing and have been doing mostly plain seams where the stitching isn’t visible from the “right side.” Since it isn’t visible, I’m lazy and don’t change my bobbin to match the threads. Time to take it to the next level. You’ve inspired me.

[@leomikitischuk]

what product did you spray on the t-shirt before iron it? Thanks for your channel.

[@StylishDTailors]

Starch

@@StylishDTailors thanks bro, I'm definitely going to buy a sewing machine and start doing it on my own.

Have you ever done a double-needle stitch for this purpose? If so did it work? I saw amazon selling double needles and discovered they work in most sewing machines.

[@StylishDTailors]

No but it would make it a thousand times easier!!

[@95TurboSol]

@@StylishDTailors I just got some in the mail today, I'm about to try them out, hoping I don't break them!

[@whereimfrom9403]

When you finally started sewing did you remove all the pins first ? I didn't see you removing pins as you sewed. I tried sewing with all the pins still in but there were always pins under the material that also had to be removed as I sewed.

[@StylishDTailors]

Yes, you remove the pins as you go along instead of sewing over them,

[@whereimfrom9403]

@@StylishDTailors Thanks man, I tailored my first tee yesterday following your video and even took shoulder pads out of a blazer and sewed it back up lol. This is fun!

[@StylishDTailors]

At a boy! Fun and ADDICTING!

[@33taylorm]

Slowly making my way through all your videos. Question, have you ever done a hem on a curved bottom t-shirt? I hate long shirts but like the look of a curved end. I assume it would be just free handing it and much more difficult?

[@StylishDTailors]

I have, got a tutorial coming soon!

[@33taylorm]
