Let's Learn This FANCY Dress Shirt Seam
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- When you buy a dress shirt with the intentions to tailor it you might notice that there's a different seam on the side that you want to keep. It's called a flat felled seam and it has a few benefits to it. One being that it sits flat on your body, and is a lot more comfortable. The second benefit is it looks a lot more professional. Funny thing is, professionals won't usually do this...weird.

I know there are at least three of these comments every video, but I bought a sewing machine two weeks ago and tailored pretty much my whole wardrobe before leaving for college, and I could not be more grateful. Keep crushin the vids man, yours is some of the best content on RUclips.
That's awesome dude!! And it doesn't matter how many of them there are, each comment is amazing to me. Talk about an easy way to stand out from everyone else on campus huh??
@@StylishDTailors Haha aboslutely!
Ian Charles what sewing machine did you buy?
nice! I used my mom's sewing machine to tailor three polo shirts (I'm 16 and i dont have a lot of money) . The stitches were horrible but it looked awesome on the outside. Love your videos. Keep it up.
Please Don’t forget to push old videos up, I still find some that I had missed or I want to rewatch. Great content.
You should do a thrift tailor video, like go get Goodwill stuff and make it fit good
What’s up SD? Dress shirts, finally, my friend! Hope all is well!!
You know it, thanks man!
Love seeing a man teaching sewing
I actually researched flat felled seams a bit after seeing this video, and on some online posts I came across some people suggested you CAN actually do a flat felled seam on a tube fabric (like a sleeve or jeans). Although they said it's a bit of a pain and involves a lot of scrunching of the fabric. Might wanna check that out. I plan to try it myself.
Thanks for the vid D. After watching this I settled on a alternative technique to make a "faux flat felled seam." I turn the shirt inside out and run the side and sleeve through a serger to make a 5 thread safety stitch. This trims away the excess, finishes the edges and puts a nice chain stitch to make the seam. I switch to the sewing machine, fold and iron the seam allowance flat and use a double needle through the the top of the shirt. You can get the armhole through the machine, but it takes patience. You end up with a nice looking seam that looks like a flat felled on the outside.
and here I thought I needed to buy a seam serger. Thanks SD!
This is a great video. Love the detail. Thanks SD. I bought the Brother CS6000i after watching your videos. Have made a ton of mistakes - tried taking in an elastic waistband out of the gate - not easy. Wonder if the double needle would make these double lines easier for the flat felled Seam
Great video! Plus the humor is awesome. Keep it up!
Love the shirt's backstory 😅
Crazy when your clothes have a story haha!
I have a complete berghaus costume now thanks guys
It's easier to get your flat-felled stitch straight if you use woven instead of knitted fabric, and if your seam allowance is even. Good video.
Thanks for the tips and the feedback!
Yes you can do it on the sleeves also.
Sure can!
Man love your vids i saved a few jeans i was going to throw out... Your examples helped me a lot🔥🔥🔥 have you ever tailored a t-shirt neck is it easy?
Thanks for the video, it must not be easy to mimic flat felled seam, I'm going to try some of this days, I'm wondering if there's a foot folder for it, also if dress shirts don't need too much adjustments darts are my choice.
Very cool SD!! THANK YOU for the new knowledge
I enjoyed this video, Thank you 💐
Hey SD, when is the handstitching tutorial coming out? On your previous handstitching video you mentioned you would upload a video showing the actual process. Anyway good work
Working on it now actually! Stay tuned!
Next few days
If you don't want regular seams to stick straight out, you could, you know, bust out the iron and iron them flat, either to one side or just iron them open down the middle. I like to iron them open because they sit a little flatter.
Very true, thanks for the tip!
Thanks
Username definitely doesn't check out...
THANK YOU!
Thanks brother
Solid content sd any tips on how to replace broken zippers on some trousers?
Not yet, coming soon!
Just subscribed. You have the same frame as me so it only makes sense 🤷🏾♂️
Can you do a detailed video on shoulder take in. I can't find a good video in this
Dang, everytime I see a new SD video I never see any dislikes
Lol, I don't even pay attention to dislikes at all. Good eye though
Couldn’t you potentially hand sew it over parts like sleeves or on shirts that you can’t do it with a sewing machine? I want to try that at some point.
Yup you can definitely do that!
Ended up selling my Savers $20 sewing machine on Craigslist for $50! Looking for another.
Hey! Stylish Dad took my request! :D
Hi, I was wonder if you can use ROLLED HEM FOOT to make it more neat and nicer for this?
You could yes!
Stylish D nice, is there a video for this?
Nice video SD!
Recently I bought a pair of budget dress pants online, but the left leg is twisted. The outseam twists towards the back, and the inseam twists towards the front. The internet tells me that it is impossible to be fixed....Is there anything I can do?
Well unfortunately it is impossible...sorry!
Might be easier to get the parallel stitch with a twin needle
Very true, but not everyone has a twin needle.
Hi sd....can you do a video on how to fix an overlock stitch when you accidentally pull on it...it happened on my jeans😅
Oh no! I'll see what I can do
@@StylishDTailors thanks dude😅😄
We’re you fixing a leak under the sink in the beginning of this video?
Yes I was :)
Bit late but could you hand sew the flat seam in?
Yup you sure could
Hi SD, I have a really bad swayback and my pants and shirts always have a lot of excess fabric pooling in the back and never hang right, do you have any advice for altering clothes to fit people who have this issue?
Darts would be a Godsend for ya
Just curious lol if any new videos coming out soon or just taking a break?
Yep taking a break. I'm back now
Why your “ most popular video “ was deleted ????? It was over 1 million views
i sew a backpack that was torn and while sowing, i didn't remove the pin that was holding it in place. I kept saying "Oh the sewing needle will just slide off when it hit the Pin!" Nope. i was wrong n it hit DEAD CENTRE n it broke! Don't rush n don't try ur luck XD
Great video! Should you iron the shirt before you put in the second stitch to make sure it’s flat?
Ironing is the best, even the most experienced Taylor iron while they work on garments. Happy sewing.
Yo so I came up on a FREE mending machine but I don’t know what it’s capable of doing
look up the model on youtube or amazon, or google. Be resourceful!!! You can even google the name of your machine and type in the words "user manual" afterwards to find a manual online for that sewing machine. For example "Kenmore X453 Sewing Machine User Manual". Like I said try to be resourceful and I'm sure you can find a lot about your machine online. This method works for ANY item not just sewing machines.
Where are more videos?
🤷🏾♂️
@@StylishDTailors Since watching your videos I have tailored over 30 of my own shirts and several chino pants of mine, including dress shirts, t-shirts and Henley's. I've also tailored shirts for several of my friends and many friends are asking me to do their clothes...... All because of your videos. Thanks so much
It's addicting isnt it!!
How tall are you ? Just a question☺️
6
Stylish Dad what do you mean by 6 ??
Stylish Dad answer fuckin me
6 feet
Ashraf Imthiyaz how many cm? 185?
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
If I saw a thumbnail of the seam that you made I would've never clicked the video.
That's...why I put the seam in the thumbnail.
@@StylishDTailors you should practice doing something before you make an instructional video on how to do it. You gotta be able to do something yourself before trying to teach other people how to do it.
This was so needlessly rude. He addresses the unevenness in the video, explains what happened, and talks about how necessary it is to practice. It’s important for beginners to see those kinds of mistakes and know how to fix or avoid them, because they’re super common. As far as him learning how to do something before teaching it, he clearly knows what he’s doing well enough to clearly explain and demonstrate the seam. I’m not sure what made you think otherwise.
@@heatherhuggins5888 he chose to make an instructional video and post it on a platform for everyone to see. If you do that - you should expect to get some criticism. If you are to much of a snowflake you should not do RUclips. He clearly knows how to deal with criticism. I find it weird that you on the other hand chose to get offended by a comment I left a year ago.

You'd get much better results if you took a minute to hit those folds with an iron before starting your stitch work. Also technically a flat felled seam should have both edges folded over and interlocking.
A way to visualize it is to take both of your hands and fold your fingers in towards your palm to make something of a U shape, then turn one of your hands over so the two U shapes can slot into one another, that is how the fabric is supposed to be for this sort of seam. then each of those stitch lines you run go through 4 layers of fabric, super sturdy seam when done that way.
If you really want to go overboard, you can also have a 3rd hidden seam inside. basically start by laying the panels side by side and overlapping the edges about a quarter-to-half inch, then run a line right up the center of that overlap (this both helps prevent the seam fraying apart over time and keeps the panels lined up and not getting the piling issues that can come from trying to pin through 4 layers when dealing with medium to heavy materials). Then fold it S wise, so the edges tucks in on both sides before ironing and running your two parallel visible stitch lines.
Probably totally overkill for casual dress wear, but that is the way I go with heavier work clothes that need to be rugged and long lasting. I'm also actually using a hand cranked cobbler's sewing machine, which has a long thin bed and a walking head that can be rotated in any direction, so I can run my sleeves up along that base no problem, as they fit over it just fine and I just turn the head 90 degrees so it walks the fabric along the base.
You're absolutely right. I hate this video, I always forget that it's still up...I need to remake this.
Thanks for the feedback!
smells like a rejected dude......lmao
