      Himani U, thank you! It's because my biggest priority is making these tutorials accessible to beginners, so I try to include as many hand-sewn, no-sew, and step-by-step explanations as possible :)

    Great idea using the paper as a guide! I'm working on a jacket, and I was having trouble figure out how to make sure the two pieces still matched up. Thanks for this!

    • @ScrappyTreasures

      Glad to help! I love using the paper technique for curves, - it feels easier than trying to curve the measuring tape.

    Excellent tutorial. Thank you. I don't understand why most tailoring tutorials begin by cutting up the original--that's like starting with a blank sheet of cloth! Sew, then cut--that's the easiest strategy especially for people who aren't experts (like me).

    Great video and all the more because you did this sewing by hand. It's becoming harder to find ones like this.

    Did you sew all the way around on the seam? It looks like your ruler marks were wider than what you chalked in the beginning?

    Better to cut out sleeves, also the stitch you are discribing is back stitch

  • @SF-bl3dg
    @SF-bl3dg Před 5 lety +1

    if you just do that wouldn't it make the bottom the the sleeves pull up like in the after pic? anyways to prevent it?

    • @walter_euceda8208
      @walter_euceda8208 Před 5 lety

      I mean after that happens you can just sew the bottom of your sleeve to tighten it to your preference

    • @ScrappyTreasures
      @ScrappyTreasures  Před 5 lety

      Do you mean the sleeves are too loose? I have another video on how to tighten it, linked it in my description box.

    • @ScrappyTreasures
      @ScrappyTreasures  Před 5 lety +1

      Since it's an important work outfit, I would have a tailor (or someone you know who's good at sewing) alter that for you. I would definitely start by practicing this technique on less important t-shirts, until you are confident you have the skills down.

    Cool tutorial but yeah it definitely looks worse now. Pointy instead of smooth? Maybe too small?

    • @ScrappyTreasures

      Hmm, I bet it's because I didn't alter the sleeves yet. Check out the part 2 of this tutorial I linked in the description, and lemme know if that helps.

    Or, just don't buy tshirts that are cut too wide!
