Wow! Great video. I have 35+ years of sewing and I remember this style. I was trained to tack the shoulder pads at the two ends and the curve area. Thanks for showing me how to completely sew the shoulder pads to the fabric.
I have been making and altering my clothes for 45 years, and I learn something new from you ALL THE TIME!! Today's video introduced clear stabilizing elastic, and as 95% of my projects are knits, this is another tool I can use to tailor a more professional look.
Wow, you always do such impressive work, and you show everything in great detail. I was the Queen of shoulder pads in the 80s (LOL!) so I definitely appreciate this style. The T-shirt looks great!
@@DowntownTailoring I emailed you an apology about a week ago for a comment that one of my subscribers made. I asked him to take it down immediately. I hope you accept my apology! I love your videos and think the world of you!
OMG, I just purchased a T shirt in this style, cropped with extended shoulders with pads. Wish I had seen this video sooner. But now I can convert a couple other T shirts I own. Thanks for sharing!
My mom had those eighty-style jumpsuits with shoulder pads and I always loved them. But as e teen those were a no-go for my peers and I wasn't brave enough to wear them. Now it's my turn, finally😅
Yeah I remember shoulder pads and I'm not sure I will want them again but have seen this shoulder pad look being created on t-shirts. Thank you for showing us how to do this.
They are definitely back! This particular sleeveless t-shirt style especially really took of in the last 1-2 years ;) The big shoulders on blazers and coats are also around, but not as universally popular :)
I love the 80's look & used to own big shoulder suits, but I always took out the shoulder pads. I already have broad shoulders. It's a shame if clothing is being sold without the pads being detachable. But it's great that you showed how to tailor a Tshirt for someone with sloping shoulders!
Thanks as always for your very detailed and professional video! I have been kicking around making one of these up out of a tshirt for awhile, but feel much more confident now that I can do it well :)
This was a great video! I like this trend, but it's really not for everyone. I never wanted to try this sleeveless t-shirt shoulder pad trend because I have an inverted triangle body type and it doesn't look so nice on me. But... on someone with narrow and sloped shoulders this looks fantastic with straight leg jeans. I like that you showed how to line the pads because I still do want to use them when I make jackets or blazers, but I never really knew how to line them nicely. Thank you soooooo much for your expertise! I have been tailoring my own clothing since 2013 and am self taught with all I do. learn so much from your videos! They are by far the most useful to me when it comes to showing sewing techniques.
Awwww thank you so much! That means the world to me! I agree, this is definitely more flattering on certain body types. And yes, lining them is a very useful skill :))
Hello, love you channel! I'm an 40's and 80's baby, Back i the day I wore 1/2" shoulder pad in my blouse, 1 " pd in Blazer & 1 or 1 1/2" pad in my coat . LOL, Football players had nothing on me! I still wear small shoulder pad in my blazer . lol
I think you are such a knowledgeable & attention to detail person ! where do you get this knowledge....buy it at a special store !! Amazing, Love your accent too, Love your videos ...I learned so much thank you
I am soooo excited about this video I have learned so much from you. I just love you. Thank you for all you do. Now I have a request if you ever have this to do please make a video. I scored some baby gowns on Etsy for 1.98 each I purchased several. I would like to add side invisible zippers to make them easier to embroider. I have never inserted an invisible zipper and I know it would be hard on a stretchy T-shirt type of fabric like the baby gowns are made from. They d have elastic at the bottom so I know I would have to cut them on the side with the zipper and start the unzip at the bottom, I do plan on using some of the gowns to make matching baby hats maybe with knots on top not sure yet. I have watched several videos on invisible zips but none are as good at explaining things as you are. I don't even see a video with "making a baby gown with invisible zipper :(
Hi Evelyn! Here you go a video with the invisible zipper. Please, let me know if you need anything else. Cheers 🥰 ruclips.net/video/-Ul0IABBhZg/видео.html
This was very detailed video, and as always shows your superior skills. Thank you. I am not sure I understand where to begin and end the shoulder pads on the shoulder. What would you have done if you needed to keep the sleeves on the t-shirt? Another video? Would you make a video showing positioning and making removable pads?
Yes. I perfectly see where are you coming from. For detachable pads, it's just a matter of adding or removing. However, when fashion makes a come back, it's usually on a new way. This time shoulder pads are wrapped inside the shoulders. We'll see how this trend will progress and if it will settle at all. Cheers 😊
Thank you for this!! Always liked shoulder pads, still do. Any high-end jacket is going to have shoulder pads for structure~not too large. Makes waist appear smaller, improves posture, clothing looks tailored, therefore more expensive
You did an amazing job on this project! I had a TON of shoulder pads back in the day. That was before I got my new "post-menopause body". I think now if I wore shoulder pads I would look like a football player!!! LOL
I loved reasonable shoulder pads in the 80s (but some were rediculous. Would you explain the different types, (shapes) of shoulder pads and where each shape is used. Round, oval, rectangle there were all shapes and sizes in the 80s. And some were much more flattering than others. I would need to see shirt on a body to see if I liked it.
Thank you for sharing this video! For me I don't like shoulder pads because I already have very square shaped shoulders and shoulder pads accentuates my shoulder shape even more. ON another note, I'd like to know if you have a video on how to transform a pullover sweater into a cardigan style by adding a full zipper. I've tried to do this but when finished there is some wavyness in the zipper that does not look professional. Thank you!
I still haven't made this video but I can tell you that it's very important to make a stay stitch before sewing the zipper to avoid waves. Hope this helps 😊
I have very sloped shoulders at 69. Only clothes I can wear are hoodies because they have a hood to disguise it. I have lots of cashmere cardigans and jumpers but can’t wear them due to my slopes. Any suggestions please? I love your videos.
Hi! Sorry for my late reply. If you have slopes shoulders, there’s a few things you can do. Wear clothes that goes better with your anatomy. For example, boat neck collars look wonderful on you, as well as big lapels. Try to use a minimal shoulder pads to shape better your clothes. But most importantly, try to learn how to alter the shoulders of all your clothes. I have customers that need me to take in shoulders in almost all their clothes. And learn how to shorten and/or reshape your straps. With just a few tweaks your wardrobe will look great. Cheers 🥰

Love shoulder pads, even as a way to balance out a figure, or for asymmetry. Very interesting approach! Thanks for sharing, love it.
Thanks 🥰
Excellent video and clearly demonstrated. I didn't know shoulder pads were back, interesting.
Thank you so much!! I’m not sure if they’re in yet amongst our youth but the trends seem to predict that it could happen! Let’s see!

I too used to love shoulder pads..... I saved them all from the clothes I used to have.... haven't grown them away.😉
I can relate! 😊

Yes. This will be important to tackle. Anyways, shoulder pads' shape wre trying to follow the shape of the original design. 💞💞💕
Nicely done ✅
Thanks 🥰
I love shoulder pads!
Thank you so much for this! I always wanted to know how to do this :)
Yay! I’m so glad to hear! Thank you :))
I wear shoulder pads with everything. I'm small in the shoulder and they make everything fit and look so much better.
Yes! Shoulder pads help a lot with the body structure. 😊

🥰🥰🥰
excelentes vídeos el idioma no entiendo pero gracias
Un placer. :)) 🥰
Oops, recently purged a bunch of shoulder pads from my sewing supplies!
Oh ohhh! Next time 😉
My neck is short and wide, so shoulder pads are a no go for me. They look nice in other people, tho.
I can relate!
:)
Ugh! Good thing I'm too old to be expected to wear trendy clothes. Shoulder pads should have died in the 80s. They're hideous.
😂😂😂😂
Let's hope this shoulder pad fad does not take on. Looks gross
