Your tutorials are excellent. Clear, concise directions. And your filming and editing are outstanding. I appreciate that your close-ups are crisp and close enough that you've made it easy for a viewer to see exactly what you're doing, and that your voice-overs perfectly sync with what you're teaching. I hope more people find your channel. I'll be watching all of your videos.

I was so intimidated at the idea of altering some tshirts; you've given me the confidence to make some adjustments. Thank you!

This is really well done. I just found your channel and will be referring to it in the future for minor alterations. I appreciate that you know that most people do not have a serger! What a nice channel.

2:51 I've been looking for this term for so many years, you don't even know!! Abercrombie & Fitch used to have "muscle" shirts that had small, "capped" sleeves and it would emphasize my deltoid muscles so well. Now I know. Thank you!!

I have loved this series. I do have a question. You mention how your chalk wasn't sharp enough. How do you sharpen it? I've never worked with wax taylors chalk. (Quilter here, so I have always used heat eraseable marker)

I run a razor along the edge, kind of like peeling an apple with a knife.

Would it make a difference if you shorten the sleeves before narrowing the shoulders? Would that prevent some of the belling?

@TailorItYourself 5 ай бұрын

No. You're going to want to do the shoulders first as narrowing the shoulders will also shorten the sleeves a bit. And not every shirt will bell out. It depends on the fabric and how your machine pulls it.

I have t-shirts that sleeves are v-shape on the armpit side therefore they are shorter than the bicep side. Should I shorten just the equal amount both sides, let's say 4 cm around the sleeve or make the both sides of the sleeve same length that means it won't be anymore v-shape? In your shirt the sleeves have equal length already.

I can't quite visualize what you're describing. If you want to send me a picture at tailorityourself@gmail.com I can provide further guidance.

Your tutorials are super, thanks! You mention a 3 or 4 thread serger. It looks like yours is a 4 thread. Are you using 3 threads for a reason? tia

@TailorItYourself 6 ай бұрын

The 4th thread sews a seam together. That isn't needed for this sleeve. We're only using 3 threads to encase the cut edge.

@curious8890 6 ай бұрын

Thank you. I used to have a 3 thread and wondered about the difference.

@@TailorItYourself I've just purchased a serger --4 thread version, which thread do I take off to just enclose a cut edge? Thanks for your great teaching videos.
