    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!

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

      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 :)

    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).

    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?

    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 5 лет назад

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

    • @ScrappyTreasures
      @ScrappyTreasures  5 лет назад

      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  5 лет назад +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?

      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.
