I tailored the perfect summer shirt in my last video, and I wanted to pair it with a great pair of shorts. Looked around and couldn't find any, so I decided to use the chinos that I already had that I tailored to fit perfectly. Next thing I knew I had the PERFECT fitting summer DIY shorts! Boom!

Absolutely love this channel. It randomly popped up on my feed and I’m so glad. Who knew ‘sewing for blokes’ was missing from my life. Thanks for the new lease of life for my wardrobe!
1:50 That's great! I'm not the only one that says that anytime I hear "hippopotamus"!!
Great tutorial man! Your channel has been a HUGE help! Literally makes life a little easier. I don't want to say I grew up poor because we had food and a roof. But it was hand-me-downs, thrift store, Goodwill, etc. So even today at 37 I still have that gut feeling of guilt throwing stuff out that can be fixed or cycled into something elaw.
Definitely just subscribed after searching how to cut my pants into shorts. This guy has class. I love the whole ditching the long intro thing. I've been wanting to tailor my own clothes for years and years now. This might be right up my effing alley.
Welcome! Let the DIY tailoring addiction begin!!
@@StylishDTailors dude, did you see that Steve Reddick guys comment on the " life hack"? Lol
Well done, normally I would double the seam allowance for the hem and double-fold to create a finished hem. However, since your pants are so fitted it probably looks a lot better with less bulk from your single fold. It's not like your going around flashing the inside of your hem anyway.
You can use a rotary cutter and a good metal straight edge. If you want a 1" hem you have to leave 2" of extra fabric at the bottom so you can roll it twice and not end up with a raw edge the way you did. At 3:05 when you look at the underside you can see that there isn't a raw edge exposed.
Solid idea, thanks for sharing for everyone!
Congratulations, SD! You're doing such a great job and I really appreciate you. You motivate me to tailor my clothes and make them look good, thank you a lot! You are amazing
You're very welcome, thank you for the awesome comment!
Life hack: use whatever scissors you have laying around to simply cut the legs off your fav pair of chinos or jeans. No need to hem or finish the cut... it will begin to fray almost immediately and give you that cool stringy look. Throw on a pair of white socks and tennis shoes, and you are ready to start turning heads!
Dude, he specifically warned against what you were saying right here.. haha
Perfect comment really...
I like your sense of humor 💝
I just did this to a pair of Mavi chinos that twisted from the knee down. Also have started to go to second hand stores and search for pants that I think would look great as shorts.
I enjoy your videos so much. I've tailored, tapered, hemmed many pants following your advice and methods. Thank you for these instructional and pretty funny videos. 👍
Awesome Awesome Awesome to hear!!
Like literally so underrated channel
Hey thanks!
Started watching this channel recently to do my own tailoring. Love it, earned a subscriber because of the the Big Daddy reference 😅😅
LOL!
It would be nice if at the end of videos you did a "reveal" of what the finished product was....I think youve done that in some of your videos.
Just checked out your vid and you are awesome. Subscribed before video was over
If you measured up 1" and folded it to the 1" mark, you acutely halved it and now it's 1/2" hem, not the 1" hem intended for copying the previous pant ends.
Must have mispoke but yes measure 1" and fold. Should still be 1".
@@StylishDTailors yeah dude, didn't mean to nag. If you measure 1" and fold and the measured mark in the valley of the fold and not at the edge of the folded fabric, the hem would be an inch. Normally I would measure 2"up and butt the edge of the fabric to my mark so I'm not having to fold with the measurement mark in the valley of the fold
I had the same question. Thanks for asking.
I'm surprised you didn't do the cross stitch to finish off the edge so it doesn't Fray when you wash the shorts. Anyway, great idea for the Chinos. MD out!!
Thanks for the vid! Will you please make a tutorial on how to tailor a sport coat/ blazer?
Such solid vids man. 🍻
Ayyy, this is Hella helpful. Thank you.
You're welcome!
Hip.......hip lol frank and beans , big daddy and something about Mary, 😅 my man
I did this in 6 grade with my favorite jeans and scissors. Got to school and this ***** named Beth laughed and said I had Opie Taylor cutoffs. I'm 38 and I still hate Beth.
She hates you cause she ain't you!
I know that now. Back then I just never wore my Jean shorts again. Beth if you are reading, this **** you! Lol
@@theniceneighbor LOLL yeaa FU Beth!
@@theniceneighbor Fuck Beth!
Beth you ***, if you're reading this, we're looking for you!
200 bonus points for the "big daddy" quote.
There's something about Mary ;)
Hi SD! Can you make a tutorial on how to shorten a denim jacket?
saw you on reddit! amazing content!
I liked strictly for the Big Daddy reference, cuz its the best part of the movie.
There's something about Mary but same genre!
Hey SD: Awesome stuff. I'm 6'4" and 190 lbs. Finding clothes that fit off the rack is next to impossible. Have you done any vids of actually fixing shorts? I'm trying to change the rise by moving the crotch seem up and make the shorts more narrow. I could really use your help! You're the man!
Definitely doable, do you still need some assistance on this?
@@StylishDTailors Would definitely appreciate your insight on this!
Shoot me an email @ Hello@stylishdtailors.com, I can help ya out!
Why did you not just draw a line with chalk against the manual and do away with the pins... duh?? Love the video though!!
1:26 Ok that was fun. Good times
I would have loved to learn how to finish that fraying edge :(
New summer project!
Would it be better to add two inches so you can roll it up twice so you don’t see the little threads coming out from the cut
The threads aren't visible at all, and I ended up giving them a good trim anyway. But you can do that yes.
When I make shorts like this I'm also doing only one fold, because a double fold is too bulky at tight sitting shorts. But I make a fake overlock stich at the edge before folding and sewing.
Great video S.D. I liked everything step by step, but man them shorts are too tight for you. I’m not trying to be negative I’ve just seen you in better outfits. P.s. still your biggest fan 😊
Fair enough, I'm a huge fan of them but I appreciate your feedback anyway. Any tighter and they definitely would have been booty shorts though...
Sheesh…had to bail.
so. much. extra. words.
Yeah I gotta remake this for sure
Get your head out of the gutter 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bro.. 11 minutes for such a simple process. Tf.
Yeah I need to remake this video...
