I feel called out. I first found you on FMA. I've been spending loads of money trying on different clothes from different brands to find the PERFECT slim fit. I could have saved so much more money and worn so many styles/designs that I liked if I just knew how to tailor! Thanks for redoing your vids, SD.
Thanks Stylish D! I spent the last three days just watching your videos. The are awesome! Coincidentally my neighbor gave me her Brother sewing machine for free and followed all your sewing machine videos among many of your other videos. Love them! I just hemmed rain pants which initially were too long but thanks to you now fit perfectly. My next question is do you have a video how to remove from the sewing machine without having to always rethread the needle? One last question, I put a velcro patch on the front my rain pants- fortunately velcr patch was toward the bottom of pants so still able to cuff around the machine. Suppose I could not cuff around machine, how could you stich on something on front of pants, without machine accidentally going all the way through and also stitching back side of pants also? Thanks again and happy new year!
I discovered that clothes shrink an average of 2 sizes during a pandemic, it's very strange, so you all might want to upsize your measurements a bit until it all blows over
I found you a month ago by accident just finding "how to tailor at home" videos due to this pandemic when one door closes another one opens and now after watching all your tailoring videos I'm on my way to buying a sewing machine and learning something I've always wanted to do. Honestly thank you brother!
You should show atleast a few seconds of the final product at the end. Even though you see it at other parts of the video, it feels more complete to see the end result at the end. Great video, just a suggestion!
Thanks! I can’t wait to try this. I’m 5’6” 215lb bodybuilder with broad shoulders and a 31” waist. I have to purchase XL or XXL knits and button downs to fit my shoulders/arms. Worn untucked, my shirts hang 12” past my waist. Worn tucked in, I’ve got an extra wad of fabric on each side. Cheapest tailor I’ve found is $40/shirt and I need about 30 shirts done.
Thank you Stylish D, right before quarantine I bought a sewing machine for 40 bucks, and now I've been addicted to tailoring this whole past month. Have tailored about 10 pants and 50 shirts!
Perfect as always ty for not quitting ❤️. I like watch your vid through mobile and laptop too. To give you more views and to keep your spirit up. Cause i don't know about others but for me you're a life saver. Thank you ❤️
Just have to say really appreciate the vids my man the production quality, content and your ability to make me laugh are thoroughly appreciated as a dad myself I can relate to your approach. Keep up the great work!
Just wanted to say, watching your vids had me feeling pretty confident that I could tailor my own stuff. Sooooo I ended up goi out and buying a sewing machine a few days ago. I have been getting pretty confident as I have been sewing together a ton these face masks that we have to wear now (thank you covid-19) and just a few hours ago I gathered up the courage to just try tailoring a t shirt.... and when you say it’s addicting you are not kidding. Yea I may have made some mistakes but right now I am loving how it fits. Keep making videos D cause imma keep watching. Can’t wait to see how these dress shirts come out. Looking foreword to getting something from target and making it fit perfectly.
I've been watching your videos for awhile and you make the best tailor videos on TH-cam. I don't understand why you don't have more subscribers and views! :) I have a video suggestion, how about tailoring your own suit 👀👀
I did it using your four inch rule. Easy peasy -- but I see what you say -- it's super easy to get carried away and make it a tight muscle shirt. I only had to take off max an inch off each side and that make it pretty trim for me. I had three pins, 3/4 inch, 1 inch, 3/4 inch.
Thank you, I look forward to try this. I have been having trouble finding a plus size shirt that does not look like a tent for YEARS. This gave me the confidence to try something new.
Thanks for such great tutorials on tailoring clothes! You explain the process so simply and the thought process behind it. I'm ready to try it on my clothes. Job very well done!!!!
Just discovered your channel, I like it. Funny, my first two altered shirts resulted in me getting out the seem ripper. I like vintage clothes (1930s-1940s) and I want to alter them to fit perfectly. I’ll keep watching and learning from you. Thanks
I came here because I started randomly thinking about dress shirts that I could wear for the next event that I attended that would require a dress shirt. My issue relates to the top button. I’ve never really buttoned the top button of a button up shirt because I was always worried that the button would pinch my Adam’s apple. Do you have any suggestions on how to prevent this from occurring without a collar extender or is this not possible?
Hmm you can definitely find dress shirts that have collars wide enough to be comfortable. Those will definitely have to be tailored, now you know how!😅
Thanks for the lesson. I've just tailored my first shirt, and I'm thrilled with the result. I've already selected my next shirt for the same treatment.
Game changer. Man I've found my style guru. My step mom was a seamstress when she was younger. She gave me a good knowledge base on how to sew, but she's not a man, and never taught me tailoring my own clothes so i could look as cold as possible. "Yo Moms, fixing clothes and mending curtains and pillows is cool but I'm trying to leave the club with the flyest honey there, not meet her grandma and discuss doilies". Seriously so stoked I've found your channel.
@@StylishDTailors fantastic! Truly a game changer and you're totally correct, instead of one shirt I pulled all my shirts out and going to town. I have to chuckle a bit, it's almost midnight right now, family is all asleep and I've got my sewing machine out, 4 more shirts sitting in front me about to start sewing as I write this. I'm so stoked to have found your video. Im a veteran, I used to take my uniforms to get fitted so Im familiar with the confidence you gain from looking sharp. You have literally single handedly made a difference in the world and I'm grateful for you, the knowledge you've acquired through hard work and ingenuity, and the time you've taken to share it with all of us. Heroes come in all shapes and sizes man, consider yourself to be one of mine. Thanks again!
MAJOR PRO TIP: mark your entire sew line with pen or pencil and then stick the pins side ways instead of top down. The machine misses the pin most of the times and then it does it just skips it.
This is NOT tailoring. This is taking and existing shirt and transforming it. To tailor something means you take all the measurements and some fabric and do it from scratch.
Now I feel stupid. I've been sewing for longer than I remember, at least according to my mom. And I still bunch everything up under the neck of the sewing machine.
Sir! I just found your channel today. I've already done the "binge" on, like, a dozen of me long-sleeve turtlenecks and another dozen polos. So you were right on that. In another video you showed your machine on a stool? Yeah, I use a corner of my dining room table (the other side of it has my work-from-home computer setup). And I thought I was the only one who worried about the pin direction. So now I'm gonna start on my dress shirts (thanks for the series), and one of my pals who's lost a bunch of weight has already asked if I can alter HIS shirts (when I'd had the machine less than a week)! Yeah, I'm subscribed. I'm checking back in to see what else you got.
The fact that you put all this information in such a timely and quick manner while remaining entertaining ALL FOR FREE for us to enjoy and learn from is AMAZING. Thank you SD!
Hey I want you to know that I worked really hard on this video and this was an AWESOME comment to read. Seriously, I have a really big grin on my face right now haha! Thanks again and have a great one!
"...gives me that kinda hourglass fit .."..…ya - - my foot, bubba !! The REAL reason you like that bottom pin a little closer to the seam...is so you can have your precious "V", & STILL have a little "give" to overeat, like all men do. But hey, your secret's safe with the me, Brother. 😜🙈🙊🙉
ty for the tutorials!! i'm not a beginner by any means but am new to sewing and altering clothes (started out quilting, 3D sewing wigs me). your tutorials help me see that it's not that hard!!! also love your cute pup
Thanks for your awesome content! I am impossible to fit with standard sizes. I have a 52 inch chest and a 38 inch waist and trying to find things that fit me well are impossible. I have taken it upon myself with your guidance to Tailor my stuff.
Having a shirt that's too tailored and tight is every bit as bad as a baggy untailored shirt. It seems guys these days are wearing shirts like they've been glued to their bodies.
I’m non binary and I love dress shirts but they don’t fit my very well. Thank you so much for this video it’s helped me tailor all my favorites shirts ☺️❤️
Thanks for the great tutorials! I've lost about 120 lbs over the last year and have gone through several wardrobes. Since stumbling on your tutorials, I've saved a lot of money by tailoring down one size in many garments. You make everything easy to understand without overwhelming viewers with too many tedious details.
@@StylishDTailors Haha! Thank you! My weight loss secret was bariatric surgery and hard work. But seriously, your videos have given me confidence to tackle alterations on my own. Thanks again!
I would like that same shirt and change the buttons to a wooden light brown or dark brown, also this is the first video of yours I watched ive literally watched all of them lol
Thanks for the video! I enjoyed the motivation and the "This shirt fits badly" faces. Your O's are pretty rounded...at first I thought you were Canadian but now I'm thinking CA. Close?
I was wondering why you first pin the shirt right side out? I turn the shirt inside out and pin it with safety pins and then turn it right side out and check the fit. Then I turn the shirt inside out again and replace the safety pins with regular pins, usually draw a line between the pins with chalk, and then start sewing.
I just found your channel and have been binging your videos… I don’t even have a sewing machine but I want to go out and buy now now haha. Any recommendations on a cheap beginners machine?
SD, I want to start tailoring my clothes and will do at some point. I've always found my biggest problem on large t-shirts, dress shirt, jackets and blazers is that the armholes finish too low, so I can't really raise my arms comfortably. Any chance you could cover this?
If you use a basting stich and pad stitches instead of pins It holds the fabric in place making it so much easier to run through the sewing machine. Then remove the basting and pad stitches and your good to go.
Thanks for the video SD! I have a bunch of dress shirts I'd like to do; Will tailoring under the arms make the sleeves seem a little shorter? I hope so because those are long and baggy too.
this was a fantastic tutorial! i just thrifted a nice black dress shirt that was a bit baggier than i would have liked it to be, but now it’ll fit my perfectly!
Ouh great, looked up a few tutorials, but this method looks the easiest, thanks a lot! Only question I got: what do you do with the original seem/now useless fabric? Do you cut it off along the new seemline, or do you just leave it as is?
Nope you remove the extra fabric, it isn't MANDATORY but you will have it just kinda sitting there taking up space and being uncomfortable if you don't.
D does this work for uniforms as well? I have a cop uniform that's polyester. It's short sleeve and I can't stand that the sleeves go all the way to the elbow.
You're killin it Stylish D! I appreciate you being you and putting out well-produced, helpful videos. Time to take all the money I'll be saving on tailoring and put that into a sewing machine. Psych'd!

I discovered that clothes shrink an average of 2 sizes during a pandemic, it's very strange, so you all might want to upsize your measurements a bit until it all blows over
😅😅😅
Ok, one year later, fully vaccinated this is still funny!!!
Belts too!!!
@@manb4war I hope you didnt turn into a zombie after taking that vaccine
Problem is, you were looking pretty neat in the untailored shirt too!
Yup! That's how I want to tailor my shirts to look. But being small but built I can't really find shirts that look like the untailored version shown
I found you a month ago by accident just finding "how to tailor at home" videos due to this pandemic when one door closes another one opens and now after watching all your tailoring videos I'm on my way to buying a sewing machine and learning something I've always wanted to do.

Be sure to notch where you take them in, makes a much better fit do it to your darts too
Do you have a video on how to tailor a dress shirt that has a box pleat?
Yes. This one lol. Just be mindful to not be to aggressive as it will pull that pleat out
Hey man, you are a life (money) saver. Thank you so much for all the time you're investing to make these videos happen. Greetings from Holland!

Hey SD :: first time viewer - - really enjoyed it. I liked the way you handled the tailored fit part. Gonna sub. Thx.
Hey bro loving the videos. I'm trying to find one where you show how to tailor the bottom of the dress shirt. (Shorten)
Coming soon!
Having a shirt that's too tailored and tight is every bit as bad as a baggy untailored shirt. It seems guys these days are wearing shirts like they've been glued to their bodies.
Very true!
I feel like whenever I do this my shirt looks very wrinkly when I wear it, how can I combat this?
Sounds like your stitch tension might be a bit too high actually.
Wish this video went over the darts in the back like mentioned in the intro. Cool tips for the sides though.
It does at the end I believe!
You gave me the confidence to try this myself. Thank you.
Go for it! You got this!
So excited to try this out once I finish up a few other projects!
You could have saved a good portion of time had you just pinned the shirt while inside out to start with.
Very true, good thing I'm remaking this video as we speak huh?
Love your videos. So nice to get useful and clear information without having to listen to someone beg for likes an subscribers for five minutes.
This saved me a lot of money!
Just wondering why you hadn't put the shirt on inside out and had your gal pin it for you?
Because she doesn't like being on camera and I don't have friends to help me lol.
I’m non binary and I love dress shirts but they don’t fit my very well. Thank you so much for this video it’s helped me tailor all my favorites shirts ☺️❤️
Nice work! Can u make shirts fit a bellie :)
Absolutely!
Couldn't I just put it inside out and sew it instead? To hide the seam
You could yes
Thanks for the great tutorials! I've lost about 120 lbs over the last year and have gone through several wardrobes. Since stumbling on your tutorials, I've saved a lot of money by tailoring down one size in many garments. You make everything easy to understand without overwhelming viewers with too many tedious details.
Holy smokes congrats on that awesome weight loss! What was your secret while everyone else was gaining weight during the pandemic?
@@StylishDTailors Haha! Thank you! My weight loss secret was bariatric surgery and hard work. But seriously, your videos have given me confidence to tackle alterations on my own. Thanks again!
I will never do something with this but i loved it😂
Give it a shot!
Love the sound effects nah nah nah of the sewing machine!
My man will teach u how to make a spray on shirt
Hahaha!!
Lovin the machine sound effects 😂
eng eng eng eng eng!!!!!
شكران❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love this! I have to borrow my wife's sawing mashine. :-)
Great video bro, and no worries 😉 I hit the like button.....
Should i sew a straight line to eat pin?
Nah angle towards each one gradually.
I love this Stylish D! Can you tell me what is a good sewing machine for guys on a budget? Thanks!
Check FB marketplace!
love this! I've had a shirt in my closet for YEARS that didn't fit and I knew what the solution was but not the execution of the solution! Thank you!!
You’re welcome, let me know how it goes and reach out for help if you need anything!
I would like that same shirt and change the buttons to a wooden light brown or dark brown, also this is the first video of yours I watched ive literally watched all of them lol
You know...that's a good idea...
Thanks for the video! I enjoyed the motivation and the "This shirt fits badly" faces. Your O's are pretty rounded...at first I thought you were Canadian but now I'm thinking CA. Close?
Minnesota! So...sorta Canada?
no joke on th binge. after i watched SD pant tailoring tut i did like 4 pairs. lol
Thank you for sharing this info!
I was wondering why you first pin the shirt right side out? I turn the shirt inside out and pin it with safety pins and then turn it right side out and check the fit. Then I turn the shirt inside out again and replace the safety pins with regular pins, usually draw a line between the pins with chalk, and then start sewing.
That's not a bad idea. Ultimately it comes down to personal preference.
you just sew up and you're done? vid feels incomplete yo. do I cut off excess and it's done?
Yes you cut off the excess and finish the seam. Check out part 2 for more answers
I wonder if you put the shirt on inside out and then ad your pins could you skip a step in the process? I’m going to try it. 🖤
Yup you definitely could!
Very nice! Very well explained!! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Is this the same for a more casual type of shirt, for example a Hawaiian shirt? Can you do a tutorial for that?
Little do you know I JUST bought a casual shirt at Target for that very reason!
@@StylishDTailors awesome, can't wait
One thing I would recommend is to iron tje clothes before pining/measuring
Very true, thanks for the tip for everyone!
The problem with men body, some of them are have smaller waist but wider chest.
That's why tailoring is key!
nice job time stamping bro.
Definitely needed to see this video 💪
Sir can you help me out on how to reduce the cuff and likely the armhole
Do you want higher armholes? Those are easy. The cuff isn’t as much for beginners.
Please give a video on how to fix shirt sleeve
@@StylishDTailors not really,the cuff is 11 I wanna reduce it to 9inches
Umm yeah this didn't really work for me.
How come?
@@StylishDTailors I underestimated my erm, generousness.
PS. I'm not fat
Fair enough! Accounting for your bust is definitely a difficult thing to do, I’ve messed it up before myself as well.
Nice job! Do you need an expensive sewing machine to do this?
Not at all, any used $40 sewing machine can do this for you!
I just found your channel and have been binging your videos… I don’t even have a sewing machine but I want to go out and buy now now haha. Any recommendations on a cheap beginners machine?
Awesome to hear! Check out Facebook marketplace for a cheap used one, shouldn’t be more than $50 or so
@@StylishDTailors Cool thank you!
SD, I want to start tailoring my clothes and will do at some point. I've always found my biggest problem on large t-shirts, dress shirt, jackets and blazers is that the armholes finish too low, so I can't really raise my arms comfortably.
Any chance you could cover this?
You mean you want higher arm holes correct?
@@StylishDTailors Basically. Top of the armhole is fine but the bottom needs to be raised to make it smaller and a tighter fit to the armpit
Thank you so much for the closed captioning!
You're welcome 😊
If you use a basting stich and pad stitches instead of pins It holds the fabric in place making it so much easier to run through the sewing machine. Then remove the basting and pad stitches and your good to go.
Most beginners don’t know how to do that though
It would make a good video
Thanks for the video SD! I have a bunch of dress shirts I'd like to do; Will tailoring under the arms make the sleeves seem a little shorter? I hope so because those are long and baggy too.
Ehhh yes and no...
great content. 🙏🚀
But as a novice.... what do you do with the fabric that are “too much” when sowing like that? Cut off or let it be?
Check out step 2 it just went live!
this was a fantastic tutorial! i just thrifted a nice black dress shirt that was a bit baggier than i would have liked it to be, but now it’ll fit my perfectly!
How did it go??
@@StylishDTailors very well!
Omg!!!! Watched “hundreds” of videos and you answered all my questions and more. Thank you soooooo much ❤️
You're so welcome!
Ouh great, looked up a few tutorials, but this method looks the easiest, thanks a lot!
Only question I got: what do you do with the original seem/now useless fabric? Do you cut it off along the new seemline, or do you just leave it as is?
Gotcha, saw your newest video on the procedure. Thanks again!
Nope you remove the extra fabric, it isn't MANDATORY but you will have it just kinda sitting there taking up space and being uncomfortable if you don't.
@@StylishDTailors thanks :)
I just bought a couple shirts online and when I took them to the local tailor he just said it's not worth it 🤣
I guess it's time to learn a new skill!
Not worth it means not worth his time. You can TOTALLY do it yourself!
@@StylishDTailors Thanks for the encouragement! I've done some small projects and mending before and you made a great guide to follow!
Thanks SD! My tailor says there is a difference when your shirt has pleats? Any truth to that?
Yes there is, I'll go into that soon.
D does this work for uniforms as well? I have a cop uniform that's polyester. It's short sleeve and I can't stand that the sleeves go all the way to the elbow.
Oh absolutely, and you would look like the most awesome cop ever too! Thank you for what you do!
@@StylishDTailors Thanks man, that means a lot. Keep making those awesome videos!
You’re very welcome!
You're killin it Stylish D! I appreciate you being you and putting out well-produced, helpful videos. Time to take all the money I'll be saving on tailoring and put that into a sewing machine. Psych'd!
Thanks for the awesome comment, I love reading ones like these!
