I took my first home ec class in 1970. And your explanation of how to simply tailor clothing is better and easier, than anything I ever learned in school. Great videos and you have talent and enthusiasm!

[@ScrappyTreasures]

Thank you, that means a lot and I'm glad I could help! I definitely was overwhelmed when I first began sewing, and I would like to help lower the learning curve.

[@Anna-tc6rz]

Thanks for the clear easy instructions! I've lost over 50 lbs and I didnt wanna buy all new clothes but im swimming in my old ones

[@ScrappyTreasures]

You're welcome! Let me know how it works for you, and make sure you start by practicing on clothes that don't mean as much to you :)

[@michaeldangelo5810]

Thank you ! The shoulders of most of my shirts are too wide and I have been learning how to improve the fit. Your method is SO MUCH EASIER and clearer than any of the things I have tried so far. Thanks again.

This is something that I really want to learn -- how to custom tailor to make clothes look better. Thanks so much for sharing this. Your videos are so clear and fun to watch! ⭐️

[@ScrappyTreasures]

As always, thanks for your specific and thought out comments

[@teapot1991]

This was an excellent video. Thank you. I have just subscribed to your channel going to binge watch all your videos as I have just got a sewing machine.

[@minyummm]

Very simple and clear instructions. I appreciate this so much! Thank you!
PS: I love how you don't say the word "like" 5 times in a sentence.

[@ScrappyTreasures]

Thank you! HAHAA that's funny because I definitely say like too often, but I'm trying to say it less (or I edit it out.)

[@minyummm]

@@ScrappyTreasures it's still much less frequent than most of the people

[@ScrappyTreasures]

Great video. Info well presented. Thank you!

[@kenn1936]

Thank you for this tutorial x

[@miriamzirato1024]

I use this method, its great
But just an FYI, im guessing the jeans you took in 4'' didn't fit because u didn't account for your seem allowance. Need 1/4 in or so on each side for your seems. So if u took them in 4in , pinned and sewed, you actually end up taking them in about 4.5 - 5 in

[@michaeldangelo5810]

That was my guess, too.

[@misspoofs]

Thanks for the video!
