Lay your shirt right-side out like you're wearing it and take a look at this nice factory hem right here. See how stretchy it is? We wanna keep that. If we get rid of it, we'll lose the elasticity in our shirt. So, roll your shirt up, grab your fabric measuring tape, and measure from the very bottom, right? No, no, no! We’re taking off 3 inches from this shirt and leaving that factory hem on there.
We want to measure from the top of the hem. Because of that, I'm going to measure 1 1/2 inches and then put a little sewing pin in there to keep my place. BOOP! Measure that same 1 1/2 inch distance, and for you, it’ll be whatever you're taking off your shirt. Keep placing pins around the bottom. When you're done, make sure your pin placement looks good and even out any wrinkles.
We’re gonna sew our stitch right on the edge of our factory hem. Start on one of the side seams, using a narrow zigzag stitch instead of a straight stitch. Straight stitches don’t stretch at all, and we want to maintain the elasticity of that factory hem. The narrow zigzag stitch will do just that.
BOOM! Look at that, we've got a nice narrow zigzag stitch, and the factory hem still stretches really well. It’s hard to tell we did anything to this shirt! But we gotta get rid of this flap. I'm gonna use pinking shears, special scissors that cut a zigzag pattern to prevent fraying.
Give it a quick run under your iron, and this is the finished product!

Thanks for the tutorial! This was a a new technique for me and it took me a minute to figure out the correct distance to pin the edge.

Cool hack! If you are going to use a sewing machine for shortening the hem, you can also just use a double needle for jersey fabrics. The stitching will look exactly like the factory one. I personally use the double needle for all jersey hems - pant legs, sleeves, etc.

@StylishDTailors 2 года назад

True story, however not everyone has a jersey needle unfortunately.

@cb9825 2 года назад

@@StylishDTailors people will need to buy special jersey needles for shortening the t-shirts anyway, since regular needles are not suitable for this type of material. The risk of dealing with dozens of little holes after washing the t-shirt is too high.

@RMW970 3 года назад

Hey SD, I love the simplicity and reproducibility of this method. However, I've noticed that on some shirts that I've altered, the raw edge of the fabric that used to be the "flap" before I cut it keeps flipping up when I wear it to the point of annoyance. I'm trying to find a way to keep the bottom of the shirt staying in place without the pinked edge causing bottom end of the shirt to flip up. One solution I've found is to use a fabric glue to adhere the raw edge to the shirt, which works but is a lot of work and I'm not sure how it will hold up in the wash. Would you have any solution to this problem? Thank you!

@kimc7376 3 года назад

I also use this method to shorten jeans & was having the same problem with the raw edge flipping up on both my jeans & shirts. I read somewhere to "sew in the ditch" on the right side of the garment & this definitely helped me! Good luck!

@skengels 2 года назад

Hi there, I sew for a living and would do things differently (I know you posted this a year ago, but hey, maybe you still need it). On a cheap tee, I may not even bother keeping a hem. T shirt fabric just... doesn't fray so you don't even need the pinking shears (zigzag scissors). T shirt fabric when unhemmed just rolls over once or twice towards the outside. If I wanted a hem, I would cut 1.25 inches down from where you want the hem, fold the edge over once (you don't need to do it twice since it doesn't fray) and zigzag on top. Since it's the bottom of your shirt, literally no one is going to notice the hem unless the thread is a different color from your shirt (but even that can look cool and different). It's amazing how little other people think of you, they're far to busy thinking about themselves, lol! The best thing you can get is a ball point needle and replace every 8 hrs of sewing. I've made a LOT of shirts and tank tops and didn't bother to fold the hems over twice and my favorites I wore until the fabric disintegrated haha, so that lazy method definitely holds up and is more than adequate.

@StylishDTailors 2 месяца назад

Hmm was it a narrow zigzag stitch? Instead of setting your stitch width to 1 you can set it a bit wider to 2 maybe 3 so that the zigzags are farther apart giving it more stretch. And for the tension I shoot for 3-5, somewhere in that range.

Not sure if anyone has asked you this but would this technique also work in tapering in the shoulders of a sweat shirt if you used the same method on the collar?
