I’m going to show you the ultimate trick to make literally any t-shirt fit you perfectly, no matter the brand or size. Forget that stupid ineffective safety pin method; I’m teaching you my fail-proof technique that I've used for years now using sewing pins that you can replicate on any t-shirt.
We’ll place pins strategically along the side seams, and I'll guide you through adjusting them to flatter your body perfectly. It doesn't matter if you're in shape or if you have love-handles. You will make the fit specific to YOU.
By the end, not only will your t-shirt look custom-made, but you’ll also have the measurements to tailor ALL of your shirts to fit the exact same way!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
🔴 Sewing machine settings:
Straight Stitch
Stitch Length - 2.5
Stitch Width - NA
Stitch Tension - 3-4
🔴 Zigzag Stitch
Stitch Length - 2.5
Stitch Width - 5-7
Stitch Tension - 3-4
**You can use whats called a narrow zigzag stitch instead of a straight stitch if you're worried about the structural integrity of the side seam. I've used a straight stitch about 532 times and have only torn a side seam maybe 3 times. Nonetheless a narrow zigzag stitch will be able to stretch a bit making a more versatile side seam. The settings will be the same except for the stitch width, you will set that to between 1-2 instead of 5-7, and sew just like you would a straight stitch instead of trying to overlap the edge like a regular zigzag stitch. I hope that makes sense...
Universal Needle
Polyester Thread (both of which are $5 at Walmart)
🔴Remember, whatever measurements you come up with WRITE THEM DOWN or keep them in a Notes App so you can skip the measuring step next time! That way you can go and buy the same or similar shirt and just plug those same numbers into it and start sewing. I honestly don't remember the last time I used the sewing pin method, it's been YEARS. I just plug and sew, thats it.
Oh and lastly the sewing pins seriously don't hurt if they poke you, but you can avoid it all together by making it so the ball of the pin is facing down. That way when you slide it on it can't poke you no matter what. Just stretch it a bit when taking it off to avoid the pins on the way back up.

Love me some pinking shears. My machine is a bit fancy so I have also used an overlock foot/stitch on seams, but it CAN get a bit thick and uncomfortable depending on the fabric/location of the seam.

Oh Gawd! This is great advice!! Truly! But the professional seamstress in me died a little when you said "let the machine do the work" 😂 it took me YEARS to perfect my ability to manipulate the fabric and not let the machine dictate the stitch. FR tho, this really is a great way to tailor your own clothes.
@StylishDTailors
@StylishDTailors 2 месяца назад
Thanks for the kind words! And I should have clarified, I should have said the machine does the moving, NOT your hands. Its easy to think that you have to push the garment through.

How to shorten the length
@Bham67
@Bham67 26 дней назад
I've only recently been aware of just how much better I look in slimmer fitted/tailored clothes than off the rack clothes. I guess I just never really thought about it, but now I can't help but notice how sub-par my old clothes fit. My question after watching a few of your videos is….is sewing (specifically "using a sewing machine") really as simple as you make it seem? If I were to buy a sewing machine and learn to tailor my own clothes, about how many hours of practice does it really take to get good results? Mostly for my casual clothes, I just want to take in the torso and sleeves on shirts & tees to make them slimmer, taper pants legs, shorten excess length on jeans, and take in the waist size on some jeans. Also, which of those are most easy to DIY, vs. just taking to an alteration shop? Thank you.

@StylishDTailors 26 дней назад
It's crazy isn't it? You don't notice how bad your and everyone else's clothes fit, but once you do you can't unsee it at all. And I'm not exaggerating at all (I know it kinda seems like I am), but when it comes to learning the basics you'll get those down in a weekend. Seriously, sewing machines can do a TON of things and that's what makes them intimidating. But we just use it for 2 stitches, that's it!

@robky-LD 2 месяца назад
Great tutorial. I bought that same sewing machine on Amazon and am getting ready to practice on an old shirt. Does this technique also work on polo style shirts? If so, are there any changes needed such as settings, thread type or stitching?
@StylishDTailors
@StylishDTailors 2 месяца назад
Awesome to hear you're gonna give it a shot! And the technique works exactly the same on polo shirts as well. You have two options of either stitching together the split at the bottom or starting your stitch just above that slit. Either option works, I've done both and been happy.

@robky-LD 2 месяца назад
@@StylishDTailors perfect, that is exactly what I needed to know. I forgot about the little slit lol. Will probably eventually try both techniques as well 🎸🕺
@StylishDTailors
@StylishDTailors 2 месяца назад
If you start above the slit you’ll want to be more conservative with how much you take in, otherwise it will be tighter in the hips and the slit will make it wide, giving it kind of a weird hourglass shape. Ask me how I know lol…

This works great for the sides and getting it so that it's not too tight at the chest and is slimmer down around your waist. But what about the shoulders being too wide? I have to buy extra large shirts otherwise they're too tight across my chest, but that means that the shoulder seems hang down past my shoulders. That's the part I can't figure out, do you have a video that addresses that?
@StylishDTailors

I've got an upcoming tutorial on how to adjust the shoulders of a t-shirt, it's not SUPER complicated but a little bit past beginner level.

i lost weight and have wide shoulders. what else do i have to tailor to make it fit besides sleeves
@StylishDTailors
@StylishDTailors 13 дней назад
Congrats on the weight loss! Definitely find the right fit in your mid-section. Since you have broader shoulders anything that fits in the shoulders is going to be way too big in the waist. Slim it down for a nice tapered look.

Sure is, you just want to use a jersey needle for stretchy materials and a narrow zigzag stitch instead of a straight stitch. Otherwise everything is the same.
