When you work out you want your shirt to wick away the moisture from your body. The only way it can do that is to have contact with your skin right? Well let's turn this baggy Target workout shirt into something more fitted and squat and deadlift ready!
First thing you want to do is turn your shirt inside out. We're going to use what I call the pinch method. Pinch the sides of your shirt and see what fit you feel comfortable with. Too tight? Go back out a little bit, the sky is the limit so do what you feel most comfortable with. When you find that fit put a safety pin in it and do the same for the opposite side. You want to have at least 4 safety pins in each side, but more is ok too. If you have a friend who can help you then perfect! All of mine make fun of me for making sewing tutorials on the internet so I'm a one man show.
Anyway, once you have your safety pins in there measure and see where they are at. You can also move them around a little bit to make sure they are all even and symmetrical with each other. and write those measurements down! That way you can skip doing this for this size shirt in the future. For instance. My perfect workout shirt fits as follows.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'll put my pins at 4 inches, 8 inches, 12 inches, 16 inches, and 18 inches
Then I will adjust each pin at those measurements to:
1, 1.5, 2, 1.5, .5
I don't even measure anymore, I just buy the shirt and put those measurements in each time, boom done! If I get another shirt from another brand I will try those measurements, but I will try it on to see how close or how far away I am from my perfect workout shirt.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These are the settings you want to use on your sewing machine:
(Literally any $50 sewing machine can do these settings)
Stitch type: zigzag stitch
Stitch width - 1
Stitch length: 2.5
Stitch tension: 1-3
Polyester thread
Universal needle 80/12
We are essentially making what's called a narrow zigzag stitch. If we used a straight stitch on here it wouldn't be as strong as we wanted it to be. If we wore it to the gym we risk the stitch not being able to stretch with the shirt. A narrow zigzag stitch however will allow us to maintain that elasticity of our shirt and stretch just fine with it.
When you're done you want to cut off the extra fabric leaving about 5/8ths of an inch or 15 mm. Usually you would want to put a zigzag stitch on the edge to prevent it from fraying BUT synthetic fabrics like this don't fray very easily which is great. So we can just cut it and be done! Time for deadlifts!

I love this guy. I've just become a dad to twins. I want to be able to do EVERYTHING for them both. In 6 months I've learned pottery, wiring a plug, some basic plumbing, cooking, and now basic tailoring. YES. IM FINALLY A REAL MAN WHO CAN DO THINGS!!! Much love for your contribution to my self improvement.
Little do many people know...I have a twin as well. Good luck with that!!
I love that man, I plan on learning for the same reasons
Trying this out today
How did it go??? Did you ever try it??
@@StylishDTailors yes bro it turned out great, my only gripe is that the sleeves look too baggy😂
Me, a men, learned this from my Mom and I've been doing this with my sewing machine for 20 years now, so I only have tailored clothing. Cool to see that there are men who care about wearing clothes that really fit and don't look like a potato sack.
Edit: You are absolutely right. Fitting clothes to your body gives you much more confidence.
Maaaan I bet you were looking stylish AF when you were growing up!
@@StylishDTailors I'm 40 years old now and I still change shirts and pants for me and friends and I love to see you telling guys to try it because it's easy and they will look good and feel better. That is exactly what I experienced.
And the best thing, woman will see it, love it and like that you do it 😉 All the best to you from Germany ✌️Keep it up.
This is the type of content I was looking for for so long.
Thanks man for explaining things easy and straight to the point.
You truly help us to give a second style to our clothes and also make us be more creative and independent.
Your personality is what I like too
You put a good vibe 😊
Keep it up👌
Greetings from Mexico
Thank you so much for this awesome comment! I wish you could see me but that honestly made me smile!
Thanks for the information. You do a outstanding job of explaining what is needed at the same time keeping it simple.
Keep up the good work!
Thank you for helping me look great D. 👍
Nah man you already looked great, I just helped you put some finishing touches on!
Damn this is exactly what I'm looking for. I am sick and tired of big billowy stomachs on my shirts. Looking good bro!
He's back!

thank you from south of korea
SD has been hitting the gym
I gotta offset those Little Debbie snacks I've been eating somehow...
Hey I just wanted to say I shared a few of your videos with my brother because I think your channel is really great for men, so thank you very much.
Thanks for sharing!! I hope he finds them helpful, tell him to reach out if he needs any help!
@@StylishDTailors Thank you :) I will
Did your brother ever end up giving this a shot?
@@StylishDTailors Yeah he was really pleased with the outcome :) Thanks for asking.
Oh my goodness. Finally I found your channel back. The last time was you with your daughter, idk when tho. Glad to get you recommended haha
Haha I totally know what video you're talking about too! Glad to see you back!
I enjoy your video's. Your a handsome man.
But, but, but, I'm gonna workout and fill this T-shirt with my huge muscles. 💪💪💪
Interesting. I've been just not buying any shirts that have a split hem anymore because they were too hard to deal with (so basically I stopped wearing polo shirts). I tried taking them out and flattening the fabric but that takes forever. Maybe I'll give another try this way and see if it looks okay.
I've done it sewing the flap together too, it's not TERRIBLE but I wouldn't recommend it. It's fine for an at home shirt but you will notice the difference for sure.

0:14 imma need the workout routine too bruv, gotta fill ouy suma these shirts.
Hah, lots of Little Debbie snacks!
Dude!!
SD, I've watched many of your vids and you taught me how to tailor my clothes!! I am sooooo grateful to you. I'm having problems tailoring my underarmor exercise shirts. I've used all purpose and ball point needles, and somehow the fabric either catches in the little feed teeth, or the thread comes out of the needle. Rethread, start over. Any tips? I tried tissue paper under the fabric and that has helped the fabric catching part, but the thread out of the needle part has me perplexed. I welcome your input or anyone else who's had this experience.
I would say make sure your thread is pulled through your takeup lever and pull the tail back a few inches behind the machine. As far as the fabric getting caught, if your machine has any you can use a non-slip presser foot for slippery materials like that workout shirt. Lmk if that helps!
Thanks SD. I don't have the presser foot but had some success with something else. I ran a layer of tissue paper under the fabric up against the sewing machine. It eliminated the fabric catching in the teeth.
GO PACK GO!!!
You're done...
@@StylishDTailors Still appreciate you... You're the reason I got my machine the next day... I'm looking forward to tailoring my Packers gear this upcoming season... Be blessed...
Hey SD, thanks for the tutorials! Do you recommend a ballpoint/stretch needle for thin, stretchy gym gear? Thanks😊💪
You COULD yes, but I've had great results with just my regular universal needle myself.
I am first a mother of four. Been sewing as far back as I remember and I am 66 now. Your 😮 intro caught my heat. I think when money increases you should get a serger. (Please not Singer, their is harder to sew to sew with). This tool will make it easier for you to just sew once. It does a seam plus cover the edge. I like the fit.
SD , im 5’3” slim waste and broad shoulders. Basically nothing fits me correctly. I just tailored
3 shirts and 2 pairs on pants this weekend. Thank you Brother ! You gave me all the confidence I needed to get me looking good in my clothes
Was this your first time sewing? I’m considering doing this myself.
I’ve been sewing a while. Tightening a shirt and pants is very easy
I bet after 6 months you've tailored your ENTIRE wardrobe!!
Skol Vikings 👏
Skol brother!
SD, do you think it's worth it to covert a t-shirt to a tank to repurpose or the time investment is too much and just buy? Trying to show off this Summer all the gym time investment. 💪 Thanks, Tony in Saint Paul. Skol Vikings!
Skol brother! And you can definitely repurpose a t-shirt to a tank top. I might make a tutorial on that...hmm.
In the meantime, you me a DM on IG if you want help with a specific one, it's kinda tricky. @a_stylish_d
May have been worth mentioning why you didn’t zig-zag sow over the leftover fabric edges to prevent it from frailing. I assume it’s because it’s an elastic material, right? Sometimes I miss important details like these from your videos
Correct its because it's elastic. You CAN put a zigzag stitch on there but I just save time by not doing it and haven't had any issues at all in the past.
The sewing I can handle, but how do I tailor the shirt to get those pecs??!!
Seriously, nice work in the gym.
Lots of Little Debbie snacks my friend! What's funny is you think I'm kidding...
Will the fabric fray if we don't put another zig-zag stitch over the edges?
Nope, synthetic fabrics like these don't fray at all really.
Seeew did you keep the singer 4452? I haven’t seen it used in your videos yet 😮
I seee what you did there! And I actually gave it away to a friend of mine who was looking for a machine!
Do you ever use a serger? We have one, don't know how to use it, but it seems like the right tool for most of these jobs.
I don;'t but you definitely can!
How would I resize a shirt without any side hems ?
Very easy, just make one!
Straight stitch for non-stretchy materials, and Zig-zag for stretchy materials?
Correct!
My struggle with tops is the top of the shoulders have pointy up bits and don’t fit flat. How do you fix that?
Hmm that could be caused by not buying the correct size and having the shoulder seam not sit on your actual shoulder. When you do that and take the sides in it kinda warps them.
Can you do a neck opening tailoring, so the opening is not so large????🤔🤔🤔🤔
Can be done but its not beginner friendly really...
For gym and exercise isn't the original form better, so that it is not touching your sweaty skin too much?
Its gotta touch in order to wick away sweat.
0:07 I mean you don't want TOO much contact with your skin 😅.
Needs a bit for airflow so your sweat can dissipate
True good point, you don't want it TOIGHT like a TOIGA!
We can't see your BEFORE & AFTER because the recommended videos are blocking them!
It’s at the very beginning as well
Fuck I need a sowing machine
Hi, whats your height and weight and what size shirts do you wear?
6 feet even and 200 lbs, size large
Looks good until first wash then you can just use it as cloth 😂
Nah athletic wear doesn’t shrink at all
can you tailor my abs to have a six-pack instead of a beer keg?
Challenge accepted!
How about flattening the inside seam?😊
Steam iron, press it.
helo you ok good good you
Yes, thank you, I think?
The only problem is I am not jacked like you :(
Not yet you aren't...
Here's how to look muscular: step 1, be muscular

@@StylishDTailors step 2: see step 1.
😂😂
Slim fit only looks good on slim people. Imagine me with my belly, I like that baggy look to cover it up bruh.
No way you got this too!
What would your tip be, if u want the top to be more fit, but buttom loose so you don't show your gut? looking like a jelly bean
Simple! You can just adjust the pins in your mid section to where you want them to be and what makes you feel comfortable. These are my measurements but it's all up to what you like!
