I'm glad to see your notifications back. My son is interested now and I'm having him watch your videos. You have officially been our family's generational sewing guru. Your mom would be proud.
I love love love comments like these! Tell your son if he ever needs any help he knows who to ask, just shoot me an email and I can help him out! And the last part...oh man sometimes I forget that my mom had no idea this was a thing, it's crazy how much time has passed. I was just thinking about this the other day actually, that last part means a lot to me, thank you so much for saying it!
Just wanted to send a quick message to say thanks! A few years back I watched a ton of your videos, bought your IOA course and a sewing machine, and have been tailoring my clothes ever since. I've dabbled in other projects - sewing doll assesories, making bows and scrunchies, sewed the perfect tie for a company Christmas party (bonus - a great conversation piece), transformed old dress shirts into dresses for the kids, and made some Halloween costumes too. An amazing skill. Glad to see your channel continue to grow!
I tailored my first shirt yesterday after watching your videos and I thought it fit very nicely but everyone else was like "yeah, its a bit too tight"..glad I watched this video..
Yeah I was honestly surprised by them. They reached out a few weeks ago and I was like "no way, I buy your stuff all the time!" I've found some duds for sure but every company has their misses ya know? But overall for the price I've found some AMAZING statement pieces! They are one of the only Amazon companies that sell workout clothes that are consistent! Some companies have sizes all over the place between different colors and it's super annoying. not Coofandy though!
Hey mate, thanks for your videos. I just discovered a your channel by luck. I lost a lot of weight and I’m in the process of changing my wardrobe because nothing fits good anymore. But because of you I can most likely just fix many of them instead.
Hey D, Quick Question. I’m a 6’5 guy so I always struggle finding Large Tall and Extra Large Tall. I told my wife I was going to buy a sewing machine so I would be able to shop more places buy buying XXL or maybe even XXL clothes and tailor them. Is that still too big of a change? If I got something like a 58 L sports jacket and tailored it to fit me would it look stupid?
No way! Thats perfect for you. My rule of thumb is more so geared towards YOU. If an XXL already fits you decently because of your size then thats totally fine. I would drown in it for instance. Does that make sense?
Hi there! I was hoping to get some advice on tailoring my shirts. I'm a man with broad shoulders and a larger chest, but my hands are quite thin. Because of this, I often have to buy larger shirts, which means that I end up with too much material in the sleeves with "bat wings." I've been trying to find videos online that can show me how to remove this extra material, but most of them focus on removing material from the sides and the sleeves at the same time. Do you have any tips on how to tailor shirt sleeves specifically? Thank you!
I made a batwing video not too long ago actually haha! But I would suggest doing both as just doing the sleeves might make the side seams look different from each other.
@@StylishDTailors Thank you for your reply. Are you talking about the How To FIX Baggy Dress Shirt Sleeves video. It is not really clear to me, but I will try to figure it out. Thank you.
Hey SD, I watched one of your videos about taking in the waist of my jeans by hand and it worked but then I noticed the seams started showing once under strain, any advice?
Yep, glad I didn't cut the excess fabric when I took in the sides of my work out shirts. Lol I either got too fat or I made it too tight or... combination of both. But now I have to take out the seams and make it looser 🤣
@@StylishDTailors Workout shirts are an interesting subject too. Adidas makes a couple polyester/spandex (aka elastane) blend workout shirts and they're super stretchy compared to 100% polyester which doesn't have any stretch unless they weave it a certain way. But that's a "mechanical" stretch whereas elastane is stretchy by its own property. I think that's why so many people like Lululemon shirts and stuff. Welp have fun with 2ft of snow we might be getting!
First of all, I love your channel and learned a great deal from you so a HUGE thank you. This being said, I would stay away from Coofandy as their fabric quality is subpar. The coat you linked looks good in the picture and could be an option if the budget is very tight but what they call Wool blend is 100% polyester. I would look elsewhere for budget clothing made from quality fabrics.
Glad you like the channel! And I'm sorry you've had a bad experience with them! I've honestly been buying their clothes on Amazon for awhile now, and yes I've definitely found some that aren't the best. But overall I've been super happy with the majority of the things that I've bought from them.
Yep, people don't understand a body/shirts is 3 dimensional. So taking in the sides only make you look good when someone is looking at you from the back/front. If you don't put darts in your shirts, you'll have excess fabric around the lumbar area which will result in that parachute look when you tuck in your shirt.. Even if you do the "military tuck" lol or whatever it's called. Basically if you don't put in darts, the curvature of your back will look flat, which might look weird. If you're fat, probably wont matter lol.
When you said that you had a five pack, I was really for confused for a second and thought , how's that possible? Then it hit me, oh he's talking about the shirts.

Awesome! Happy to see you make a video! Could use your great energy today!
Yay! Thank you!
Finally a new video from my favorite informative channel!
Wow, thanks! I have few favorites myself and I also hate when there are long breaks in between uploads haha!
Not “God delivered, I just signed.”
😂😂😂

Thank you for this awesome comment and I'm glad to hear you've stuck around all these years! It honestly means a lot!
Bought a sewing machine because of you. Very cost effective and already paid for itself, since tailored shirts cost a lot more.
Nice work! It's addicting isn't it??
I tailored my first shirt yesterday after watching your videos and I thought it fit very nicely but everyone else was like "yeah, its a bit too tight"..glad I watched this video..
Great content, great personality. Exactly what I was looking for except better!
I think you’re right. Subscribed!!
Great tips for a beginner sewer like me. Thanks
Bro you’re getting ripped, good to see a new video from you. Peace ✌🏾 and salute.
Haha thanks man! I hope all is well with you my friend!
Coofandy makes some damn decent jackets for a surprisingly low price. I've been buying their stuff for a while now. Always on point.
Yeah I was honestly surprised by them. They reached out a few weeks ago and I was like "no way, I buy your stuff all the time!"

Is it possible to make temporary alterations?
Definitely! All you have to do is use what's called a basting stitch. It's SUPER easy to take back out too.
"God delivered, I just signed" That was hilarious.
Hey mate, thanks for your videos. I just discovered a your channel by luck. I lost a lot of weight and I’m in the process of changing my wardrobe because nothing fits good anymore. But because of you I can most likely just fix many of them instead.
You sure can my friend! And congrats on the weight loss!

You can definitely reinforce the stitches if needed!
When will you get a sewing table? 😂 what was the brand, my son is built like you?
I have like 3 actually, and I always debate on which one I want to use haha. The brand of shirt? The shirt was from Express.
@@StylishDTailors I have 3 and a swivel chair so I can switch between them. They are in a u shape. All machines are set up for a different function.
That sounds like my heaven...
The pea coat is 👌on you. Love the video & your humour :)
Thank you! I was hesitant to wear the Vikings hat because we choked in the playoffs again but what ya gonna do...
Yep, glad I didn't cut the excess fabric when I took in the sides of my work out shirts. Lol I either got too fat or I made it too tight or... combination of both.
But now I have to take out the seams and make it looser 🤣
That's actually what I want to tailor next, a workout shirt. I've done it so many times now to my own shirts that a tutorial is long overdue!

Actually editing it now haha!
I too have a five pack, except I am missing 4 parts of it...
Lol!
Haha I was singing "hit'em with the flex hit'em wit the flex"
lol!

Dang, I didn't want to have to try darts!
Love your vids, they always bring a smile... now go find a church!
Take mee to chuuuuurrrchh!
Por qué no estan los subtitulos en español?? :((
Aún no los he traducido, ¡lo siento! Estoy trabajando en eso ahora.

Spot on! And I haven't heard of the military tuck and after Googling it it makes sense...I guess?
YUMMY 😊😊😊😊😊
When you said that you had a five pack, I was really for confused for a second and thought , how's that possible? Then it hit me, oh he's talking about the shirts.
That's hilarious! I mean you never know...stranger things have happened.
*See what I did there?*
At last !
