TIGHTEN A T-Shirt Sleeve In 2 Minutes! (PRO Tailoring Tutorial)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 เม.ย. 2023
- The most annoying thing about t-shirts is when the sleeves are TOO BAGGY. It can honestly ruin a perfectly good shirt. The solution isn't to go and grow your arms, no just make the sleeves tighter by sewing them by hand! You can use a sewing machine for this sure but it's just as easy to do by hand as well.
All you need is a needle and thread. Start by pinching how much you want to take off. In the video I pinched too much so I took a bit less off. Move around too and make sure it's comfortable. Once you have the right fit use a sewing pin or a clothes pin to mark that spot. This is easier with someone to help you but my friends all make fun of me for making sewing videos, so they wouldn't help. I'm sure you will have better luck than me.
Once you've got your spot marked measure the amount you're taking off, and mark it from there down towards your armpit seam.
Ever sewed a backstitch? It's super strong! Thats what you want to use. It won't be PERFECT, don't beat yourself up over it, seriously! I've tailored so many things that had minor imperfections that I still loved in the end. The same thing will happen for you.

Whoa dude I didn’t even realize this makes an aesthetic difference till you made this video, you’re totally right
Crazy isn't it?? I HATE baggy sleeves because now I know how much better I can make them look!
For those new to sewing... he forgot to mention that after you measure you need to turn the shirt inside-out. That way your seams won't show when you're done sewing. (Nice tutorial though. Great work.)
Good point! Thought I mentioned that haha!
Bruh... been sewing now for 3 months and have modified some of my clothes. YOU ARE the FIRST person to explain what a Backstitch is. Lit, I have watched maybe 8 or 9 sewing vids to get the basics (throughout the 3 months). And awesome results! Gonna mod my shirts RIGHT NOWWWW. Please, take my subscribe, I beg youuuuu
Awesome to hear! Let the addiction begin!!
I really appreciate how short yet informative this was
Thanks! As someone who has been going to the gym hard these baggy sleeves hide all my gains...
0:30 hehe somewhere someone out there is going to forget to turn it inside out 😂
You're so right! I did totally forget to mention that haha!
Only seem two videos of yours, and I already love them. I'm so excited to start learning to tailor my own clothes. I definitely subscribed!
I’ve learned so much from your videos that I just bought a sewing machine. I pay a lot of money for alterations and sometimes it’s not perfect. I rather learn myself. cheers
Stylish D at it again, love seeing new content!
Great tutorial video, I’ll have to give your technique a shot, but first I have to work on these arms 💪🏾
Keep up the video format! Short and informative plus little bits of humor splashed in.
That's the plan!
Great video, short, sweet, and to the point. also, thanks for doing this by hand, as i dont have a sewing machine, so its nice to see that imperfect stitching is good enough for jobs like this
You're very welcome! Hand sewing is definitely an art, and if you don't do it. a lot it won't be pretty BUT you want strength more so than aesthetics for jobs like this.
You work hard to put out very helpful videos. Thanks SD!
I do! Thanks for noticing!
man you're a lifesaver ❣️
I absolutely love your vids! Thanks for posting.
Glad you like them!
Likin’ your videos, SD; great presentation.
I love videos that manage to be enlightening and entertaining, where I learn something I'll never put into practice because I'm too lazy. Thank you! Subscribed!
Definitely give it a shot! You got this!
Just what I was looking for! Thank you for keeping it short, sweet, and funny…just like me
You are so welcome!
I just love your excitement! You make me want to see again!!💕
I'm so glad! Why don't you??
I love this proper man sewing video. 😂 ima defo use a sewing machine because my hand stitches, well...they look like yours and I want perfection.
I love how concise and simple this video is. I have seen similar videos that ran over 15 minutes. Needless to say I am not subscribed to those channels but I am subscribed to this one
Glad it was helpful! I've seen those same videos when I'm trying to learn something and it can definitely be annoying thats for sure...
This content is as tight as those sleeves! Nicely done.
Thanks a lot gonna try this on my old t shirts I was planning on throwing away
exactly what i was looking for. ty broooo ❤
Glad it was helpful!
Чувак, ты гениален! Спасибо тебе. Привет из Москвы!
Great video! No BS just what you need to know
HES BACK!!!🎉
You are a legend man! I messed up first time by putting my fold in the opposite direction then sowing 🤦♂️ but I unpicked it then did it right and now it's perfect! Thanks bro
Glad it helped! Definitely should have clarified the inside out part haha!
Your energy makes me want to buy a t shirts with poor fitting sleeves just so that I can watch this video again ❤
You should!
already subbed but that was a damn slick reminder
Thanks man.
Hey Stylish D, would you be able to do a tutorial on shorts? Summer time is coming up and I have been struggling to sew these things.
so pretty
You are a hero! 😁😁😁🔥🔥🔥
I'm so glad to see you're still making videos, bro. I have a request!
Can you show us how to round the bottom of a shirt? Like making it arch on the side. The flat bottom just doesn't look right on most shirts
Solid idea!
@Stylish_D most shirts *to me*
Thanks man I have this shirt that fits nicely except the arms. Its super baggy and touches my elbows. Its not like my arms are small neither, they're like 16in.
Great, thanks!
You're welcome!
hey thanks for also telling us how to make that sewing knot which is essential to the whole process
You’re welcome!
SD what’s up. I’m loving your tutorial videos. Question, would it be possible for you to do a tutorial video on adding back pockets to sweat pants that don’t have any? Also, maybe a tutorial on adding cargo pockets to sweatpants or pants?
Stay Dope. I appreciate your videos. Great Help👊🏾🔥🙏🏾
That's a brilliant idea!
I bought an oversized t shirt brand, it was too oversized.
Can you please make a video of how to make an oversized T-shirt fit better while still keeping the oversized look? Thank you!
Any way to slightly enlarge a neck hole? My current t shirts put a little pressure on my throat all day and it sucks. Looking for a fix but it’s hard to find one
OMG THANKSSS
I did it the old fashioned way.. I went to the gym and worked out.
I mean...that's not a bad way to go about doing it either!
I think that was an isosceles triangle 🤔 Great tutorial. Concise and clear.
Yes! Thank you!
great video man :D how do you shorten the should on a t shirt ? i keep having bad luck when buying t shirts that have wide shoulders even though my size is Small but i keep getting shoulders wide of size M almost and its so annoying :((
So the shoulders are tough actually, it's hard to get it right without completely distorting the whole shirt. I've been thinking about putting together a tutorial on it though.
Funny dude I like him
I always slit my hoodie neckline for my big head to fit through. Many times this rip gets bigger over time. Is there a way to quickly see the end of the rip so it doesn’t continue over time? Do you have any videos on this subject? Thanks !
Yes you can! Solid idea for a tutorial too!
i love you
Hey Stylish D any chance you can show us how to tailor a denim jacket before fall arrives?
Lets go!!
How does this effect washing. Are you still able to wash it on the same settings? I have always liked my sleeves to fit like this. I have just always bought shirts that already did.
No major effect at all as long as you pre wash it before tailoring it.
@@Stylish_DTailors awesome! Thank you
Very nice. Do you have Any recommendations of making the belly section of a dress shirt or casual shirt tighter? Because if I buy a casual or dress shirt in size M the belly fits but my torso and breast and shoulders are bigger and it's too tight.
If I buy L the breast fits good but the belly is too loose. Which shirt size should I take?
L then. but the arm seam should be at the right point from where the shoulder drops off. you can bring the belly part in, with darts. it’s slims the back and front part.
Hey was wondering what brand shirt is it that you have on? I’ve been looking for a shorter sleeve shirt like that
Target! It’s their Goodfellow brand.
Hey SD! Dude I am hooked now. I am a smaller framed built guy. Clothes don’t fit me right. Well, they do now! Tried one T-shirt using your video. Needless to say all my clothes are getting tailored.
Thanks man! Keep up the good work!
Awesome to hear! Good luck avoiding the tailoring addiction...you think I'm kidding loi
THE STYLISH G
Hello, Mr D. Great material and tutorials. Thank you.
P.S.: Your cuticles could use some care. Not for aesthetics, but to keep "catchy" material from causing you
undo pain. BTDT. Ouch! 😁✌🖖
Thats so funny you noticed that, the winter has DESTROYED my hands and they get caught on my clothes all the time!
Can I do this with wool sweaters? If I sew it with wool thread.
Sure can but definitely take your time and practice
You are priceless, there is nothing better than better fitting clothes. You can shop at Marshals and look better than the Nieman Marcus, or Saks Fifth Avenue crowd
Thanks.. but what if i want the opposit, i need to make it loose, as my shirt is too tight on my muscles 🤔
I want your problems...
@@Stylish_DTailors 😅
I'm looking into making clothes from scratch. Do you have any videos on that??
Not yet!
Thank you on the quick intro…TH-camrs be drawing the video out smh
So annoying too!
Does this work with training tshirts aswell?
Sure does!
Any tips for stopping the bunching underneath the armpit afterwards?
Make sure your tension is correct, otherwise bunching shouldn't be an issue normally.
@@Stylish_DTailors How would I account for the tapered tshirt sleeve, when I fold it up towards the armpit to shorten it I end up with a bunch of extra fabric that bunches up? Would I cut it the length seem of the short sleeve first?
Still can’t seem to figure this out
Do i need to do this with it inside out?
Yup you do
How do you even put the clip on your own
Very carefully (if you're like me without any friends).
The loose hanging one looks better
Different strokes for different folks!
"I think you should subscribe" just done it!
Can I do this with a sewing machine?
Yup!
bro is it possible to alter jeans of waist size 38 to waist 30,
Nah thats way too drastic unfortunately
How comfortable is it? It looks like it would rub your armpit
Very, I've never had any comfort issues at all personally.
@@Stylish_DTailors cool, I might give this a try then because it looks good
Hey, can I ask you something please. I buy my undershirt from the markets, my size is L the problem is the hole under the armpit is too big, it's enough to show up my nipples from the sides, so I bought the same kind if undershirt, but with size XL and I cut some of the Shoulder strap, but look like that i made it rother small, can you show us how to do that, it's really important, thank you.
note: I liked the wink😉
For sure, I'll see what I can do for ya!
@@Stylish_DTailors thank you, I appreciate it🙂
There's a better way then sewing them
I thought he was gonna say bulk up and fill the sleeves lol
I mean thats one way!
Yag
Isn't there some kind of clamp out here we can use on all our t-shirts? I can't be sewing 25 t-shirts bruh.
thought it was a biceps workout tutorial
I mean…it could be? Sewing machines are pretty heavy!
Going to Walmart in the morning lol
How did it go?
I just buy smaller t shirts. Chicks dig biceps !!!!
How could you do this to your loyal fans? I mean, really? In just two minutes you highlight the biggest failing that so many suffer across the globe. Not ill-fitting T-shirts but floppy arms! Admit it SD you are fresh from the gym with those pumped triceps of yours, it's never about loose sleeves but excess flesh. I must tried harder. 😅
Hahaha! I mean...I've gone a few times
Nothing worse than bell looking sleeves. Now I get saluted when I show my guns...Boiiiiiii
Hopefully their registered, see what I did there?
@@Stylish_DTailors 😎🤜🤛
Or just do more curls and push-ups.
Problem solved!
Tight sleeves are good if you're a beast like yourself. Those of us with skinnier arms need a little room to fool people. Lol😇
Haha yeah right, you got this too my man!
If you use matching thread, it won't show through:-).
Yup, I just did that for demonstration purposes so you could see what I was doing.
@@Stylish_DTailors I figured as much:-). As much as you focus on keeping things simple it's also very obvious that you are very aware of every detail. You rock!!!
Thanks for the kind words!
And don't use white cotton on dark 😂
Valid, it was for demonstration purposes haha!
Step 1, get 18 inch arms
Step 2: ?????
Step 3: PROFIT
I stole the chalk instead and got 20 years.
Taylor's must hate this guy
They definitely hate this one simple trick...
This is a lot easier and faster than lifting weights lol
Right???
Go get some arm exercises in and you won't have this problem 😅
Yep....that ................and Steroids ! 😂
HULK SMAAAASH!!!!
Wtf? 😂
Say whaaaaaa?
Just get bigger arms
I've been trying...ugh.
2 minutes my ass
Only one way to find out 😏
Just get bigger arms.
Genius! We need more of your wisdom in the world!
BTW what do you think we should do about climate change?
@@Stylish_DTailors I know right!
We should just let it change.
THE MASTER HAS SPOKEN!
I will to let Biden know you’ve come to a decision. He will be most pleased. Thank you for your wisdom and insight great leader!!
Step 1: build your triceps
Step 2:????
Get bigger triceps.
These claims are completely subjective. As someone with experience in classic men's tailoring, tight fitting sleeves are the exact opposite of a proper fit. No piece of clothing should be this fitted, as it completely downplays any structural or design-centric aspects of its construction. T-Shirt sleeves should come out at least 1 inch off the bicep when pinched together, to allow for vaporous perspiration and movement.
Vaporous perspiration, I'm totally using that!
It's sad to see what men care about these days !
Or just get bigger arms
Just get bigger arms
