In this video I'm going to show you how to take a $10 shirt that I got from Target and turn it into a nice flattering slim fit t-shirt!
Every guy has this problem. It's frustrating when you buy a t-shirt that says that it's slim fit or athletic fit and you put it on and it's super baggy and unfitted isn't it? A lot of retailers like H&M, American Eagle, Gap, and Target claim to make slim fit shirts but then you put it on and it doesn't fit very well at all. Well that's because mass produced clothes are made to fit everyone, and because of that they don't fit anyone.
The first thing we want to do is gather our materials. We need a sewing machine, some sewing pins, a fabric measuring tape, and some fabric scissors. Start out by measuring your t -shirt for the fit that you want. I like a nice V-taper to my shirts, but this isn't about me it's about you. If you are a bigger guy or a skinny guy you can use your sewing pins to give your shirt the appearance that you want too.
Next, you want to use those sewing pins to give your baggy t-shirt a much better look to it. Use a straight stitch set at 2.5 which is a standard stitch as it comes from the store. After you do that cut off the extra fabric leaving 5/8ths of an inch on what's called the seam allowance. Finish it off with zigzag stitch or pinking shears to prevent the edge from fraying on you and then you're good to go!

Hey please make a video on how to tapper joggers with elastics in the ankles
Can you do jerseys foot ball and hockey
Good teacher
Hey brother! Love your work. Could you tackle button up shirts and the gap at the chest area? As someone who wears bras but like the men’s button up shirts, I don’t like the gap between the buttons when I wear the shirt. People can see my bra you know? Was wondering what options are there besides a snap pin, etc. thanks!!!
Very useful time stamps thank you :)
Never seen an more animated and exuberant CZcams sewing dude. I love how you purposly make mistakes so us dumb dumbs don't feel stupid and freak out. Subscribed on the first video!
Mistakes happen, it's important to show that they can happen to anyone! Thanks for watching!
@@StylishDTailors
Thank you man! This is the CZcams channel i didnt know i needed!!
Yep, I subscribed immediately too.
@patriciapanther glad to have you here!
Haha! I agree with the mass-manufactured shirt part. It's like wearing a cereal box! So glad tailoring is a thing.
Holy smokes I'm using that, its like wearing a cereal box!
Thank you so much for such a great tutorial! My tailor was going to charge me $140 to fit 5 of my favorite shirts, so I used that money to buy all the sewing material needed! Thanks Stylish D!!
Boom that’s how it’s done!
How did it turn out!?
I use my tailor's chalk with all sorts of projects. Highly recommend his suggestion to use that for guiding your stitch line. Get BOTH white and blue (the blue is for marking white or really light color fabrics). And use a utility knife or sharp pocket knife to scrape the drawing edge of the chalk to refresh the surface and sort of sharpen the chalk. Tailor chalk will get burnished by handling it and rubbing it on fabric. Burnished chalk doesn't draw well, the same way old burnished pencil erasers don't erase well. They both need to have the burnished surface scraped away (for the chalk) or abraded away (for the eraser). Nobody ever taught me about sharpening the chalk for each project, but it makes a world of difference.
Im a woman, I sew a lot!!! Now I knw how I can sew all my shirts, they fit so big & all my kids shirts they fit real bug also!!!!Thanks so much, very detailed video!!!! I love ur personality!!!!!
5 seconds listening to you, I skipped my morning coffee. Passion and knowledge, I’m subbing!! For life, everything sewing I’m coming to you.
You are my sewing teacher, I’m a 58 yo female, please do one female shirt.
I'm a 55 yo female. I've been sewing for years but HATE dealing with tees. I think I'm ready now :)
It's a men sew too channel. For men who aren't accepted by the females in their community, as taylors
@@paulmorton4319 do females really reject men students 😮
@@paulmorton4319 is this even a thing?!
As far as I can tell, some of the best tailors of all time were men. Bespoke suits, alterations in general and denim. Literally all types of tailoring/sewing. Hell, even a lot of the big designer names are men.
I’m also a man, btw. Been tailoring my clothes for the last couple years.
Mostly because of extreme frustration with my local tailors always getting the taper on my pants wrong. I’d have to always make 2-3 trips, for each pair of pants, just to get them right. And this becomes extremely time consuming and aggravating, when you have multiple pairs of chinos that need to be altered .
Especially, when you get new clothes and want to wear them immediately.
But, the tailor is backed up and it takes a whole 1-2 weeks just to get your clothes back the first time. For them all to be wrong. And then, 2-3 more trips after that for each pair, to get them right.
I said fuck that!
Bought a sewing machine and started doing it myself and now I get it right typically the 1st, or, 2nd try and it only takes me about 20-30min for each pair. Depending on how long it takes to measure my lines, draw a guide and do the actual sewing.
I literally just bought a sewing machine specially with the purpose of tailoring my own clothes so I'm brand-spankin' new at this and I find your tutorials super easy to follow. Thanks for including your fuck-ups and mishaps in the videos so we can all share the learning experience of how to fix them.
Dude, you have such a great energy. This is the first of your videos i've watch and I subscribe after 2 minutes, you're awesome!
Thanks for the kind words man I appreciate it!
Ditto! Great tutorial 😊
Me too 😄
Your instructions and visuals are great. I have been sewing for over 40 years. This info is relevant for women too
Thanks so much I appreciate that!
As a tall (6'4") but slim dude, it's literally impossible to find shirts that fit me probably. Even shirts that are already supposed to be slim fit end up being super baggy around the waste in sizes that are long enough. But yeah, this actually looks relatively easy to do, so I'll have to give it a shot (I'll definitely have to start with some cheapo shirts first though lol).
Only sewing tutorials with thorough reasoning and explanations. Big shoutouts for the quality content.
Much appreciated!
I never knew what those buckwild zigzag scissors in my mom's sewing kit were for before now! 😄This is a super helpful video. If only I owned a sewing machine so I could utilize this knowledge.
The improvements to the production quality really show, looking good!
This is one of the best step by step videos so far. Very inspired to give tailoring another shot.
Thank you for the feedback! This video was a ton of fun to make that's for sure!
Really great tutorial, just started sewing and I can't believe how easy it is once you understand your machine.
You definitely deserve more recognition, these videos are great and even entertaining!
Finally a teacher who gets to the dang point, I’ll learn from you my man and thank ya
I have just discovered your videos. I am an experienced sewer and you are a great teacher! I love how you get to the point and make mistakes to show how to correct them. New subscriber here!
Best sewing video I’ve ever seen. Thanks for going into all the details like back stitching, running off the fabric, and pin orientation.
What an agreeable man. Out of all the not just sewing video's, but craft video's in general, your's is so wonderful to follow! Thank you so much for talking about every detail, and going through all the possibilities that could go wrong!
great explanation and demonstration! you've hit the sweet spot of reducing the process into key steps, demonstrating, and commenting on those steps!
As someone who has barely sewn more than a button roughly back onto a shirt, this is truly helpful. Keep up these amazing tutorials!!
Thank you! It's pretty easy once you get started!
@@StylishDTailors this might be an unpopular opinion but baseball tees are my favorite but alot don't fit well, more importantly alot the focus is on the "U" cut at the bottom. If possible a tutorial on how to hem bottom seams would be extremely appreciated.
I'm totally with you man and will consider putting something together around that. In the meantime shoot me a message on Twitter and I can help you out!
Thanks man, you keep on making videos like this it's really game changing
You have help us guys to be more self-reliant and care about our styles, like for real it feels like the society don't want us to dress good
These videos have helped me a lot especially you quantifying measurements, explaining why things are done(like those pins and reverse stitching) and purposefully making errors and showing how to fix them 💯 (cause most of us get down when we make a mistake and give up)
I followed these steps exactly, and was able to apply the same concept to a tubular T shirt (shirt w/o side seams) , and it worked like magic. Nice and fitted now!
I've lost some weight and really needed to start tailoring my own clothes. . Your channel has been awesome help! Love your attitude, energy and how you cut (no pun intended) right to the point! Thanks!
Wonderful love how you totally explained what needle and thread to use not to mention why you use them . I have never seen anyone explain to the t . Thanks 😊
Glad it was helpful!
I can sew some, but have no idea how to do some things such as this. You make it soooo simple to do. Thank you! Thank you!
Thank you for easing my anxious mind by telling me I didn’t just mess up my shirt when I inevitably make these mistakes that you left in !
Awesome! I can't wait to do my t-shirts this weekend! I bought men's XL 'cause I do not like the way the women's tees fit but I also don't like the box look. Excellent tutorials! Thanks!
thank you for the videos! as a big guy whos been losing weight this past few months, your videos are a godsend. My Wallet and I are thanking you!
You're welcome, congrats on the weight loss!
I've been sewing for years and I've only tailored a couple items of my regular wardrobe (I mainly sew for cosplay). I really appreciate this channel
This is such an amazing resource and CZcams channel. You are an incredible presence and teacher. When you show the zig zag stitch little mishap and fix I was so impressed. The close ups are so helpful. Thank you!!!!
Such a great teacher! And I love your delivery.
Subscribed. Love your energy and tutorials. So glad I found your channel. My clothes never fit straight from the store. You empowered me to get my own sewing machine today. Time to learn to use it. 🙃
This is the most entertaining tailoring tutorial Ive ever seen. Youre doing a fantastic job! Great personality
Hey thanks for the kind words I appreciate it!
I am so glad I found you today this Christmas (2022) morning looking for how to tailor a Jacket getting over the flu and snow bound. Thank you for no long intros. I love your sewing machines noises and thorough sewing instructions. I use similar techniques to alter my women's tops and will share your link with my sewing students. I do have pinking shears not using them often loving my overlock machines. I thank God for your natural sewing pizzazz with your audience and will definitely watch and follow you. Hope your Christmas Day for your family is Blessed!
Thank you for the awesome comment, Merry Christmas to you as well!!
I love that you explain what and WHY in your steps, not enough people do this! Great video
Glad you liked it!!
Amazing content. Youve inspired me to tailor my husband's wardrobe so he can look more polished. Thanks!
I love comments like these!
Thank you for this!!! All the vids I’ve watched before this keep the seam straight. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience
Thanks man. I have a band tee that I'm absolutely in love with, but it's awfully baggy in all the wrong places, especially on my back. I'm going to practice on some cheap shirts, and hopefully I'll be able to fix up mine.
What a great idea.
I stumbled upon your video & i really liked it. I have ZERO experience in sewing, so I'm lucky to have found your video. Thanks for the tutorial. You got a new subscriber
Thank you so much! I followed this tutorial and I am so happy with how my shirt came out!
Awesome to hear! Let the addiction commence!!
Wow, what a great video. Best sewing instruction ever. I like this guy.
I AM IN LOVE WITH YOUR PERSONALITY 😍😍😍 THANKS SO MUCH. LOOKING FORWARD TO MORE SEWING VIDEOS
Well I learned how to sew a little bit as well as proper use of the word quantify. Today is a great day! Thank you D, great video.
I recently started learning how to tailor my clothes and I learned quick that measuring is the most important and difficult part. This helped me a lot. Thank you.
Great job!
Thank you stylish chad.
Im learning again, i used to watch my old granny violet and kukom katherine sew with a peddle machine.
Super well explained, thanks so much man!
Wow, that's a delightful stroke of brilliance! I love your videos and personality.
Thank you I appreciate that1
Thank you for for such an energetic an to the point video. Also thank you for making mistakes and showing how to fix them. By being real, you also saved me from having to watch multiple videos trying to solve those mistakes. I can finally make my favorite loose clothes fit better on me.❤

@@StylishDTailors Thanks random question calisthenics or free weights?
I am soo glad I found you ❤️ I’m about to tailor all my husbands clothes
Good luck! Let us all know how it goes!
This was great, especially all the oopses. I watched 100s+++ videos and nobody gets to the real life fixes that I've learned the hard way! Great video.
Glad it helped! I hate how people can just edit out their mistakes, makes it seem way easier than it is.
I've been doing this for years with no training, but you taught me a few great tips. Thanks!
Glad to help!
So many years later, but THANK YOU for this! I've tried to watch most sewing videos, and I'm a chic, and most sewists are chics, and I swear, every single one, even beginners, are like, "next get our your serger..." Bite me lady! LOL In this case dude, I'm so happy to be "mansplained" to! So many shirts are about to go under the needle....
So awesome to read! Glad it was helpful for you! And I totally know what you mean about the Serger comment, it’s like umm how about no…
Thank you so much for your awesome channel! I love your attitude :)
My cat, Luna, sat on my lap and watched this entire video with interest. I'm going to use your technique to tailor some shirts. Thanks!!
Hi Luna! Wasn't the cat in Sailor Moon named Luna as well?
Wow!! I don’t know why I clicked but I’m glad I did. Never sewn anything and don’t
have a sewing machine, but you were so engaging I stayed and subbed. *That’s* charisma.
Love the effort you put into these videos, keep it up :)
Thanks a ton!
Can't say I searched for this, but it was interesting to watch. Thank you.
You're an excelent instructor. Thanks for the clip.
I appreciate that!
Love your vibe 💓💓 thanks for the video
I stumbled onto your videos. I have never sewn anything in my life. This kinda makes me want to try. Thank you.
I sure hope you've tried it by now!
Haha nice. My wife is an apparel production and design professor (she has a PhD in it) and runs the production lab at a major national university. I'm going to do this and surprise her with the new skill. Might try using her serger instead of the straight up machine. Great video!
This is the best video I’ve ever watched about Tailoring! Subscribed
That was awesome! I’m also female but I’ve been wanting to learn how to do this. I hate baggy shirts. It should look tailored to fit precisely. I just found you. Loved this video. I will check out more!
