This dress shirt has seen better days, we took in the side seams and added darts and made it look fantastic! Here is the whole playlist on how we did that!

I've got some long sleeved shirts to shorten for a friend, and wanted to double check how to do a men's shirt (I've only done my own before now) and these ones are white, so you can see (compared to the one he likes) how much has been tucked inside the hem of the sleeve. His are an inch, but the fabric tucked in goes all the way into the fold. I was panicking that you needed at least half an inch to tuck in, until I realised you weren't intending to, then all was well 😄
I loved this video!
I appreciate you and your help on all my sewing needs. I have alot of Robert Graham shirts and others that I love and used to fit me. I've lost over 130lbs and I'm happy to say I'm slowly altering my favorite shirts from a 4xl to an XL. Thank you again!

What a great service you provide for men who haven't thought of altering their clothes. Plus your personality. :-) Not to be picky, but when you turn a hem under, you should first turn it under 1/4" so it doesn't unravel. Maybe that fabric will hold, but many will fray.
Yes, I was thinking the same thing! 1 1/4" would have been better so you could tuck under the raw edge and still have a 1" edge. Great video though!
I’ve recently started wearing short sleeved shirts, and finding the right fit is so hard. I LOVE this idea, will definitely give it a try.
I am glad I found your video! I just bought a bargain $5 shirt so I can experiment with it. The first thing I want to do is shorten the sleeves. Thanks for your low stress encouraging video. Happy stitching!
SO glad you mentioned the seam guide! I do NOT sew but needed this video and you mentioned that...so glad b/c I ALWAYS watched the needle! I knew the guide was there but never phased me to LOOK at it while sewing! SO...THANK YOU!!
Glad it was helpful! It's a super easy and common mistake to make that's for sure
I knew you had a cheat code! Thanks man been watching all your videos, this is addicting
This is the best channel I've come across in AGES! I love my clothes slim fititng and tapered but being 5'4 and buying good fitting XS is hard - I've always been curious about tailoring my own clothes but was very intimated to start but you've 100% convinced me to take the jump!
Yo 5'3 with short muscular limbs and i got the exact same issue! Clothes that fit in length are too tight, clothes that fit in circumference are comically long 😂 Been watching these videos for a week and i have a sewing machine I'm waiting to be able to borrow. How's tailoring your own clothes working out?
Great work, SD. I followed your advices and I was altering my shirts the very next day I got a sewing machine. What I like about your videos is that I find them more relatable than most. Seweing and tailoring does not has to be a high class, boring activity nor a girly skill. I see you as a fun manly man that wants to look good and avoid the struggle and prices of going to the tailor. Now, I can buy whatever I want regardless if it is worth the trip to the tailor. You just opened a whole new world of outfits opportunities to me.
Probably you should get ahead and start making winter clothing videos, so we can prepare and look good for incoming months. Also, I would love to learn FROM YOU how to make a blazer and sport coats slimmer and it's sleeves as well. It would be fun to watch what you can do with 20 bucks at a goodwill. Thank again.
Thanks for the awesome comment man! And I like to structure my content in a way that shows people that it isn't hard to do this, it really isn't. I'm definitely getting on the winter content in addition to the fall content too!
OMG. This guy is a super hero!!! I just bought a sew machine and I am subscribing to him!
Girl here! And I absolutely love your videos!!! And I’m so happy I found ur channel! Great tips! Thank you ☺️🥰
I'm glad to have you here! Thanks for the awesome comment! Girls have the same fit issues that guys have!
Thank you. I struggled with this! But that 90 degree angle did the trick. Hugs!!
Glad it helped!
this is the tutorial i was hoping for! i am hot all the time and i hate long sleeve shirts!
Seems obvious, but it never occurred to me to to measure from the shoulder seam. I always tried from the cuff and they were always wrong. I really like how you explain things and your sense of humor. You changed my life today! Thanks!
Another great video S.D. I love how you make your videos look like reality T.V. The raw footage running through the house was funny, keeping me laughing 😂 through out the video. Over all you got mad skills on the sewing machine !!
Hey thanks for the awesome comment man! I wish people would leave things where I put them that's for sure haha
I feel like in the span of just over an hour on this channel finding this channel I’ve discovered a new DIY hobby. I have a lot of dress clothing and buy a lot of it and often needing custom trouser hems, cuffs. Shirts with excess fabric because I couldn’t get that Slim Fit style of the shirt pattern and had to go Tailored Fit. This is a damn interesting hobby.
Let the addiction begin!
@@StylishDTailors The addiction has already began. 24hrs ago I’ve never heard of this channel, no expectation anything like this existed on RUclips and had no idea this kind of self tailoring was a DIY Hobby or the fact I needed it. So I’m down the proverbial rabbit hole. I also think the other thing that makes these videos so captivating and mesmerizing is your entire personality which is quite comical and funny both while being so entertaining. It makes for great content.
But if I can throw out an idea having had High Quality custom trousers hemmed and cuffed is what interesting things have you done with the cut off fabric to sew up something interesting with those pieces of high quality fabric pieces. That to me can be interesting for a content video too.
I don't know if anyone mentioned it to you, but you can take painter's tape (blue, yellow, green, beige) and cut 3 or 4 pieces about 2 1/2 inches long. Stack them on top of one another, then put them on your machine as an extension of your seam guide. Keep away from the feed dogs. Then as you are sewing, just place your fabric to the left of this tape (but up against it), and you will get a perfect stitching line every time!!
This video is awesome. Can’t wait to explore the channel for other helpful diys.
so close to that silver button!!!! good to see you back!
I know right, thanks man!
Roll up the sleeve. I love long sleeve shirts
Nice! The dress shirts I really like have tears in the elbow. I want to try this so I can keep wearing them. Thanks!
Fantastic, I have a bunch of shirts I was considering applying this to. Now I know, thx!
So you don't see a need to finish off the inner edges, there's no fraying in there?
Zig zag has to be the most obnoxious part of sewing. If I didn't have to ever "finish" anything, I'd sew so much more!
Nope you don't NEED to finish the edges on this (I didn't), but it doesn't hurt either.
I'm short and fat so clothes off the rack don't fit right, so I'm trying to learn to tailor them myself. Thank you for taking the time to teach us.
You're very welcome!
Ok here goes nothing!! I'm about to alter my husband's long sleeve wedding shirt to a short sleeve shirt for our daughter's baptism. 🤞 thank you for the advice!!
How did it go??
I chickened out. 😔😓 He wore long sleeves in the hot church. LOL. but I do want to do it!! I'm worried his sleeve won't fit around the bottom of my sewing machine. Do any of your videos address that question?
Oh no! The end of your sewing machine has a piece that slides off to put smaller garments on the end like pants actually!
@@StylishDTailors omg really?? I'll go look! Thanks so much, I'll reply to this when I've finally taken the plunge and altered his shirt. 😄 thank you for being so supportive!
Oh goodness I ABSOLUTELY Love your tutorials for sewing.... care to make some for the ladies garments? ;-) Getting ready to follow your hoodie and oversized tshirt tutorial on my 15 yr old daughters closet collection. Thanks for the awesome videos!
Great idea!
Can you do a video on how to shorten shirt tails on a shirt, so you can wear it untucked.
Might have to throw that on my agenda...
@@StylishDTailors Also need this video!
Much easier when you have small biceps like me 😭
Lol!
Nice video, the only issue I see is that you’re actually meant to allow for double folding on seam Allowence to hide the raw edges
As always I like the concept especially if you have dress shirts that have cuff issues
Very true, or any dress shirt really. I've done this to a few of mine now and I'm kinda obsessed...
@@StylishDTailors I'm still trying to get my darts perfect on a shirt, my shoulder to waist is a 12 min drop I'm trying to find a solution
@@StylishDTailors along with turning a flat felt inseam into a regular inseam so tapering my pants doesn't look weird lol
Now I can try to do this right! Thanks S. D.!
You're welcome!
Short sleeves are the only way to go since every day is arm day!
Should you do a zigzag or strIt stitch on the cut end prior to sewing the final stitch?
You can if you want to yes, but I didn't.
Great information
9:04 I use masking tape to have a more visible and longer seam guide. 😉
Genius!
Honestly this is actually the easiest one I have done. For whatever reason I thought it was more complex. It’s stupid easy lol
Funny how that works huh?? It's always easier than you think it is!
You measured an inch and made a half inch hem? I don't get it
I noticed that too, was wondering if it had been addressed in the comments. At the end of the video, he does mention that he decided to change the length but the tutorial portion for it was still flawed. When he measured the 1 inch and put the pin in, that is where the crease of the fold should have been, not where he lines up the end of the hem
I wish more men were more invested in knowing their clothes. I hem more pants than I can count because so many men buy the wrong size and never even looked at the size before buying them...when asked, they don't even know their inseam. It's kind of sad.
hi hi any tutorial on how to transform a long sleeve go a armhole blouse
Anyone would sub to you ! Awesome man thank you, I love how my arms fit in short sleeve, makes my big biceps look great
Great to hear! Short sleeve dress shirts can definitely look awesome!
Just finished, the end card doesn’t have links to the videos!
I'm editing that one right now, keep ya posted!
Why can’t u just mark with a chalk where the other shirt is and cut?
You definitely could!
But like what do u do if u have say a t shirt and want to shorten it by about only an inch? Should i just fold it inside out and sew it? Since its such a small amount theres no point in cutting any excess fabric off.
Yup you can do that
@@StylishDTailors thanks man!
Ayo SD! What if we have a short sleeve button up (got 3) and you needa adjust not only the tightness but shoulder length as well? The shoulder on the shirt is a bit too long
Shoulders are tricky and I try and avoid them if I can. My rule of thumb is it has to fit in the shoulders first and foremost.
@@StylishDTailors if you ever have the time, it would be awesome to show us in the event we have to do shoulders that would be great! But I do see the complication with them already lol. Ty!
You left the unfinished edge out, that's going to fray with time. You should've tucked it in (double fold), hope others figured that out on their own.
You're absolutely right I did. It hasn't caused issues yet but like you said it will, and this will help other people. Thanks for pointing it out!
Dude...you just showed us the new backdrop you made so why do parts of this video look like they're filmed inside your panic room? Leaving a raw edge exposed in the sleeve hem? Nah...that's just wrong.
That is HILARIOUS! Panic room, haha! And I'm not too worried about it but if you are then you can use pinking shears or a zigzag stitch,
Haha parallelogram
Short sleefs mostly look childish or old.
Better wear a polo then 😅
Different strokes for different folks
You talk twoo much.
I sure do huh?
