- I'm going to show you how to shorten a long t-shirt keeping the factory hem. It's only 2 minutes because there's ZERO reason for it to be 10 minutes or more.

Will this method also work for shortening long sleeves on tee shirts?
@@suzannerhodes4795 Depends, do you want to shorten them from the bottom near your wrist? If so then not this method wouldn't be best.
@stylish D - you said you used a narrow zigzag stitch but the onscreen stitch settings says width is 5. Did you mean 0.5?
@@noct3rn4l11 I dunno how I messed my previous comment up, It should say 1, good eye!
I discovered this video a couple of weeks ago. I've been sewing for close to 75 years and never figured out how to hem my t shirts. After I watched this, I went on a mission! I shortened all my t shirts that were too long! Thank you, thank you! I feel so much better wearing them! I am just under 5' and not much fits me right without alterations.
Oh man, this video made total sense! I usually find sewing tutorials hard to follow because I have no experience whatsoever and don't know the reasoning behind it. You invested the time to add that explanation, and still made a clear and supershort video. Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
Agree!
@@Stylish_DTailors G8 content, can you make a video on how to make a western shirt?
Thank you, I don’t why these damn companies keep making the shirts so damn long
They’re using models with the weirdest measurements 😂😂
they think that as you get older your torso gets proportionately longer than your whole body lol
@@jas2994 The older you get the shorter your spine and torso gets
because it holds the average americans stomache
You know? The word know is missing in your sentence.
Thank you for great directions. Being short all my t-shirts are too long. I'll be doing this.
I just tuck em in. LOL
one of the best videos on hemming! short, sweet, and super helpful. thank you!
I like it. Short, simple, easy to remember.
No pun intended
@@lastwhtknight3002, lol
i agree
I just want my belts to show

Man THANK YOU for the short, to the point description! This is going to make things SO MUCH EASIER!
Thanks so much for this tip. It worked so well on the hem that I decided to do it on the sleeves that were also too long. Perfect!
Knit fabrics don't fray; if you don't have a pinking shears for this project, you can use plain scissors. But DON'T use plain scissors on a raw edge of woven fabrics... threads! Threads everywhere! Oh, the humanity!
as a 5'7 dude, I had to shorten pretty much all of my tshirts. this helps a ton, thanks.
I'm a competent sewer/quilter, but have not had experience with hemming t-shirts. This video was excellent. I practiced a little, then started measuring and pinning, then pressed lightly to keep the material a little better in place. Also did some vertical pins for stability. The shirt came out great! Thank you!
So glad it worked out for you!
I did this today, worked perfectly! Thanks so much. I didn't wear these nice t-shirts because they were such an awkward and unflattering length but now they're perfect :)
You're so welcome! Love seeing when people try out these projects!
I don't think I will ever find the energy to do any of the things in the video but this guy is so funny and I am thoroughly enjoying his video!
Let me guess your here cause your t shirt was longer than your sweater
THANK YOU!!! I had a new t-shirt I absolutely love...that I needed to take 6"off of. I am not a sewing person at all, but was able to do it flawlessly after watching this. It looks like a new t-shirt, perfect hem.
Awesome to hear!! Glad it worked out for ya!
As a tall guy, I have never even considered that this was a problem for some people xD but now I'm sewing something for my sister, so thank you!
Funny how that works huh? Thanks for watching!
Wow, I'm super excited to have found this great hack! Thank you so much for sharing, I already shortened one tshirt I just a few minutes! Im over the moon. Thank you, thank you!!!!
Thank you so very much! My skill level is beginner, and I was able to do it due to your terrific instructions. It really came out nice. I appreciate your help.
Awesome to hear you tried it out!
Found you last year and you're amazing bud. How you don't have more views? There must be a lot of guys out there looking for your vids and just not finding them. Thank you for existing SD
Thanks for the awesome comment! I appreciate you sticking around as long as you have! They'll fin me eventually I guess haha
I just subscribed. Thanks to your easy instructions, I flawlessly hemmed the length and sleeves to a couple of t-shirts that were too big on me!
Boom!
Where have you been all my life??!! I’m a short girl and the t shirt struggle is real! This is brilliant! My daughter also is very petite so we will be checking out your videos 😊
Today I finally gave this a try after years of having discovered this video. Summary: I regret not trying it earlier! It was really easy and a breakthrough for a guy who just used scissors to shorten several t-shirts not so long ago.
Some learnings to make this easier:
1) I don't trust pins would hold the hem fold on my t-shirt's fabric securely enough (I don't want to be afraid of messing the fold while handling/sewing the cloth), so I used masking tape pieces to hold the hem fold on place. It felt really secured to iron* (you can't iron over a pin but you can iron over masking tape) and handle (pins may hurt you, masking tape would hardly be able to) and ultimately sew (pins can get in the way when sewing, masking tape does not). Plus it was easy to adjust & correct the fold width all around the t-shirt when laying down the each masking tape piece on the fabric.
*2) Once you used masking tape to hold the hem fold, make yourself a favor and iron all that fold area. That made the sew way easier to approach for a beginner like me.
3) I sew twice (made 2 laps around the t-shirt). That made me confident the stitching will last and -perhaps my original motivation- allowed to correct/improve my work: You may not get your zig zag stitch close enough to the factory hem stitch in your first lap all around the t-shirt, so on the second lap you have the chance to fix that wherever you missed.
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. I wanted a 2" hem so I subtracted 0.5 inches (the factory hem) from 2" and divided the difference by 2 to get the correct distance to measure where to put the pins (0.75 inches from factory hem). Worked perfectly!
Glad it helped!
I keep coming back to this video because it's the most helpful, straight to the point tutorial THANK YOU!!
Thank you for explaining why when you do steps. Thank you! ♡
Loving these quick 2 minute tutorials!
I really liked it it was short and quick and straight to the point I even tried it and it works like a charm you are a lifesaver man thank you I'm subscribing ❤️
I need to move in with you. I've bought two packs of good quality T-shirts (12 in total) and ALL need at least four inches taking off! My Saturday ruined because I stared out the window in needlework class at school...
Update - Used your video above with a Singer sewing machine. First t-shirt following your tutorial took 50 minutes from start to finish. Too long, too much swearing, but the finished product was almost perfect! Now on to my 5th t-shirt and I think I've got it perfect! And only 20 minutes now per t-shirt! Thank you Stylish D!! Thats a pint I owe you!
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG! I watched your video about 10 times, then made sure to get the right needle and set the machine properly. Took my time pinning and sewing slowly and close to the original hem. Trimmed excess with pinking shears and I am blown away how awesome it came out! WOW! LOL it took me 2 weeks to work up the courage to attempt this. I will never wear a too long t-shirt again!
Great job! I'm so glad you decided to try it out!! Isn't crazy how you put it off forever then when you try it you wish you would have done so sooner?
Wow this is amazing ! I am hopeless with the twin needle, I was trying to hem my sons shirt and it looked terrible so I'm going to try this way! Thank you thank you!!!
You are the BEST!!! This was so simple and made my shirt look so much nicer. Will be subscribing:)
Hey man I remember how you talked about how difficult and yet transformative this journey has been for you. when I first came across ur page I was surprised by the positivity and joy you bring to your channel. I think you're a real gem bro, I really appreciate you for all the help you give us young tailors in the making. Anyways I remember you talking about how this journey has been for you and your daughter. And I just wanna leave this bible verse over here for u...I hope it blesses you man. Stay incredible and God bless man...“Afflicted city, lashed by storms and not comforted, I will rebuild you with stones of turquoise, your foundations with lapis lazuli. I will make your battlements of rubies, your gates of sparkling jewels, and all your walls of precious stones. All your children will be taught by the Lord, and great will be their peace." Isaiah 54:11-13
Hey Steven thanks for this awesome comment! It's definitely been a journey that's for sure. It's hard taking something that most people don't have an interest in, and trying to convince them that it's actually incredibly life changing!
And thank you for sharing that bible verse as well!
@@Stylish_DTailors It does make a huge difference. Now I finally have custom tailored shirts that fit properly. I'm no longer dependent on clothes-makers to hopefully make a shirt that fits. And the hobby easily pays for itself many times over. I first discovered your channel a couple years ago when I was just getting started. Most other tailoring tutorials were pretty dry and I liked how you made yours fun.
This is the first premium tip I've ever received! Thanks, you da man!
I’ve been tailoring my tops for a while, but always used to cut the bottom off and re-hem which was a pain in the a$$! This is much easier and better finish too. 👌🏼
Amazing. Love it- straightforward and thorough. Enjoyed the contrasting thread! Great for visual learners
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you!! I have a certain brand of Tees I love but they started making them too long. So now, I am in the process of shortening them. This will definitely work!!
Good luck! Let us know how it goes!
Thanks for a super easy tutorial. Have too many long t-shirts I don’t wear. Will work on those:)
This is exactly the kind of method I was looking for. You made it so simple and straightforward, thank you
Glad it helped!
This video is EXACTLY what I need! I have TOO many T-shirts that are 2" too long. Going to learn to sew now!
WOW!! I got on TH-cam looking for a tutorial to hem a t-shirt, and found this one! I just tried it, and I couldn't believe how easy it was!
Now I'm going to try hemming some t-shirt sleeves with this technique! Thanks!!!!!!!
Hope everything is going well!
Thanks a lot mate. Imma short dude and have a tough time with t-shirts coz most tailors don't bother with them. I might be able to do this one myself.
THANK YOU !!! I followed your instructions this week and my t-shirt fits much better. Subscribed!
Awesome job! Feels great huh??
@@Stylish_DTailors YOU KNOW IT !!
Where have you been my whole life?. Thanks for keeping it short and simple.
Nice little pun there.
😂😂😂👍
I had no idea about the factory hem. Thank you for the tip.🥰👍🏽🇬🇺🎄
I realise this 2 years old but i have just found this and it is brilliant!!! Amazing! Never knew and you give such clear instructions thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
really great idea to keep the original hem with only a simple zig zag! thanks!
My mom has a sewing machine. I’m gonna try this on some old T-shirt’s to practice, then I can shorten others and save some money. Thanks!
Blast and double blast!! I have just cut 6" (including the factory hem) off a strechy jersey dress I needed shortening. Now I have to re-hem. Phooey!
Great video straight to the point! Can the same steps apply but hemming web be used instead of sewing? (Sorry if that’s blasphemy, I had an old sewing machine but it’s broken).
T-shirts the last 4 years or so are like an inch longer for some reason!
Just tried it, this is great! Worked wonderful!
Fantastic!
1:28, love that info for future reference. Can't wait to try this out, thank you.
Thank you!! I didn’t have matching thread for my t-shirt, but it didn’t matter with this method! Will be using this from now on. 😊
Glad it helped! It's definitely a game changer huh? Do you mean matching color thread or type?
Definitely! I didn’t have the matching color!
boop! haha that made me laugh. This is awesome! LOVE the short intro!
Excellent tutorial! Thanks for all your useful tips and tutorials.
Thanks so much for this! Way easier and tidier than the usual way of cutting off the excess and then creating a new hem.
Glad it was helpful!
@@Stylish_DTailors Very helpful -- I am 5-ft-nuthin and I do not need any more t-shirt-dresses! :)
Stylish D listed as one of youtube's up and coming creators! Love it!
Say what?? Where!?
Thank you for this! Very clear and easy to understand.
Thank you so much, this made hemming feel way less intimidating
You’re welcome!
Impressive. A man with a sewing machine. My husband got one.. its never came down from the closet he first put it in. Lol. So thanks because im gonna casually share this his way. Luckily, I had a mandatory sewing class in school. A sewing machine is kind of tricky, otherwise. Its takes trial and error. Plus a lot of steps to learn.... Just to thread it!
Simple, clear instructions. Love this! [new subbie]
Very happy to watch your videos.. Thanks from Egypt 🇪🇬👍🏻👍🏻
I have ruin many of my T shirt trying to shorten it.. Thanks for the tips 🔥
Hey! You solved my problem. I could shorten T-shirts but always wondered about losing the elasticity. Now I have to purchase a zigzag scissors. Thank you!
You are so welcome! Pinking shears are super cheap too, just look at Walmart or Amazon. Don't pay more than like $15 or so USD.
Awesome! Bought a sewing machine after watching this am so excited to try it. Would you recommend using this technique on polos and button up shirts too?
Nah I need to make a separate tutorial for those, coming soon!
You save my life bro!! Thanks for this video ❤️.
BRAVO...... as the saying goes "you learn something new every day". Thanks
You bet!
OMG from the bottom of this 5 foot tall woman's heart, THANK YOU! What a perfect tutorial.
You are so welcome!
Really useful,
Thank you (deep from my heart)
Simple instructions, thank you!
That's what I was looking for 😍thank you!!!
Love this guy gave me sanity in this crazy world
Okay this channel is awesome, thanks for this
Спасибо за МК, теперь укорочу свои футболки 😊
I wear a 2XL and I’m about 5’7-5’8. the width of the 2XL or even XXL t shirts a lot of times are good but just too long! Thanks Man! Keep it up!
You're welcome!
Amazing, love it! 🔥❤️
so simple, so easy! your vids are a must watch for beginners.
Glad you like them!
Very helpful and straight to the point thank you
This was so timely! I was about to do this to shirt all wrong 😊
Would have been a learning experience so it's all good!
actually very helpful, thx💕
Your channel is blowing up man!
Belíssimo trabalho, parabéns 🔥🔥
Best tutorial I’ve seen !
great explanation. thank you!
Thanks im going try this- i have a short waist and large upper body i hate the extra length on my t-shirts
BRAVISSIMO..CERCAVO PROPRIO QUESTO..GRAZIE MILLE 😁👏👏
You are Awesome! 👏
Thank you very much! 💝
Wow! A lost art. Going forward people are going to need these skills. Shorter t shirts hang so much better, but are hard for me to find. Thanks for the new ideas
You're welcome!
This is a game changer! Thank you!!!
You had me at "I don't like long intros" 👍
Brilliant! Time to shorten some graphic tees so I can wear them!
Go for it!
Could you or do you have one of these videos explaining how to make the sleeves on a t shirt smaller. Thanks and keep up the work
I do! It's on my channel page!
So helpful…thank you!! :)
just stumbled on you...I love your video as it is to the point and not a lot of needless stuff. I'm very nervous to try this....but I am gonna.....God Bless you...I will subscribe...Love you happy demeanor....
You can do it!
Hey there!
If I'm shortening the hem, and also taking in the sides, which should I do first?
Thanks!
You can do either or but I would shorten it first
You are such a saviour!!!! God Bless!!
Thanks!
Fantastic tutorial; thank you!
I have to watch it 4 or 5 times before I understood it but I think it got it
i LOVE tall shirts. You know how often I lift my arms over my head? You know what its like being 6'2" and having a normal sized shirt? I can't get away from it!!! I can't believe you have an amazingly extended shirt like that. I would typically wear the shirt to my waist, but let it bunch up just above that. This gives me a natural cushion for lifting my arms and dropping them back down while maintaining the same look and style.
But I also want to tailor my stuff and look as good as possible on the regular sooooo....
Love this and easy to follow. Thank you!
You’re welcome!
