OMG! YOu're a life saver! I have this plaid blazer with insane padding for over a year but didn't wear it because of the giant shoulder pads!!! Now that I removed them, I'm happy to report I'm wearing the blazer for the first time! Thank you for this tutorial!

Thank you so much, perfect timing! I want to wear my old blazer that I’ve had since the 90’s because it’s warm wool but the pads look ridiculous so I thought I would google how to remove and there you are! The same EXACT Lauren blazer (although mine is camel)! Same process as yours & looks fabulous! I can now wear my fav blazer that’s been sitting for 25 years!🎉

What a great video and the timing couldn’t be better. I have been downsizing, and I was going through clothes hanging in my attic yesterday. I found five great suits I wore when I was working. I am now retired, so no need for suits! But there are two suits 😅that I would like to keep. Shoulder pads need to come out! So, your method should work perfectly! Now I have to find out whether or not it makes financial sense to have the pants altered (too big), or just keep the jackets. Thanks much!

This is exactly what I needed! I just found an old suit jacket with pads and one of them just doesn't look right. Like it's positioned wrong or they used the wrong one and it shows though a bit lumpy from the outside. I was scared by the fact that it's inside of the lining. I used to always take out shoulder pads back in the day for those easy-to remove ones because I already have wide straight-out shoulders and don't care for any more enhancement. A doctor once asked if I was a swimmer and that was a big "no" for this couch potato.

Hi Anastasia! Guy who's learning to tailor at age 60 here! I love your videos and your teaching style! First attempt (on a practice coat) to take in the shoulders on a mens sport coat. I'm having an issue with missed stiches when sewing though the multiple layers of fabric and padding (reattaching top of sleeve to shoulder). Is there a special needle or thread you recommend? Just using a new all purpose needle and polyester thread. Thanks so much! I lost weight and got in shape, so this is a priority! :)

Yeah I do have some videos where I do that or at least talk about it.You will need to take it the shoulder seam and possibly take in. the sleeve but you might be able to just ease it back in. Check out this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXnEd3aVarOHrZosi=qZK28FvPLPLN1adk

Thank you for this! Do you have a video already of what you described as the "more work to do" to take in the shoulder after thick shoulder pads? I have a blazer that I love and got a great deal on, but it is both a little big in the shoulders and has big should pads, so I'm on the hunt for a parsimonious solution.

Apparently my shoulder pads have been sewn in under the lining so the flipping didn’t reveal them. Is that typical?
@SewAnastasia7 ай бұрын
The shoulder pads should be under the lining. They where is this demo too. Thats why you need to seam rip the seam & get to the inside of the jacket.

And what if the lining is attached to the shell? I destroyed two sports coats because they were stitched together at the shoulder...

@@Chris2thepher you can sew it back together after you seam rip it. If the lining separated at the armhole there is a good change it was hand sewn in.
