Very very good channel thank you very much sister ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

This just made me want to alter my already altered suit again 😂 Thank you for the pointers 🙌🏻

oh my god ........ please tell me your gonna make alteration videos for the rest of your life , i am just blown away at how knowledgeable & informative this video is & your passion for sewing is incredible ........... please please please make more videos

I was looking for a video on KZread to properly understand what alterations that can be practically done on a Suit Jacket/Sport Coat/Blazer and this video after watching several videos was the best produced in clear concise understanding, demonstration of the alteration and explanation of it. Just no BS here! Everything was well demonstrated and clear. I do not do tailoring, but I like to be well dressed and much my cloth newly both get tailored for my fit if needed. I’ve bought some suit jackets and sport coats that seem slightly too big or the jacket size was 1-2 sizes too big. I knew it can be tailored but didn’t quite know what can be altered exactly beyond width, length and arm length. So this helped immensely for when I’m talking to my local tailor. Because of it and being into mens classic style and dress I’m gonna subscribe in support. I support my local tailor shop by getting much alterations done and helps to understand tailoring so I can dress better in fit.

This woman reminds me of Stevie Budd from the tv show Schitt's Creek. Pleasant. Great video production and presentation.

Very helpful channel. Thank you so much

Your voice is amazing.i can listen you all day😀

Greqt video! You got a new sub.

Good job 👍

I love the intension and passion. It's one thing to pin and chalk , but the proof is in the pudding. It would be best to see the outcome and compare. when a jacket is too big in the waist you have to reduce the side front more than the back. Sometimes you have to recut the front and that is very difficult.

Excellent explanation about to Fit a Suit Jacket. Thanks a lot. 💖

Excellent and very precise explanation !!! Congrats on your new but very promising channel !!!

Thank you so much! Your video saved me from a bad situation. I recently ordered a lovely made-to-measure British-made tweed jacket. The fabric is gorgeous and the jacket fits in the shoulders and sleeves. However the body is a huge boxy mess! They somehow misinterpreted my measurements, but refused to do anything about the problem. I was amazed at 3:18 that the body of a jacket could be taken in like that. The day I saw your video I searched for an experienced local tailor and I found one, 30 years in the same location. It was like magic when he pinned up the jacket, transforming it from a baggy sack to the elegant jacket it was supposed to be. (BTW I know my measurements, and have several perfectly-fitting jackets from other makers.)

Do like how you only mark/pin one side of garment for your alterations this way the overall measurement is consistent for machinist. If in a fitting someone does both seams you are not likely to get as good an end result. Personally not a fan of narrowing lapels or shortening too much a jacket length as it can throw off the balance of a suit. That would be something to thoroughly discuss with client of course. Lovely video.

Great video. I have a tuxedo that I bought online and the jacket runs a little bit small. When I button it I can see horizontal lines. It also has collar gap especially when I move my arm. Is it possible to fix it? Brand is Brunello Cucinelli.

@sewshowwithshae

Жыл бұрын

If you’re seeing horizontal draglines and collar gap then it is quite a bit too small so there isn’t going to be enough fabric directly across the chest to let it out through any of the seams or arm holes because they just don’t leave allowance for that. So sorry!!

Nice Navy Suit… for Wait a minute, I like where this is going!

I'm surprised that she said the lapel is wide... the normal recommendation I've heard is the lapel should be roughly half the width from the inside to the shoulder seam.

I know the rough pricing for regular alterations. But how much more is the pricing for shortening jacket and taking in the shoulders? Also, would love an explanation on how to go about the shoulder alteration!

Awesome sewing skill.

Hello! I'm been watching your tutorials on alterations for suit jackets to understand how to proper tailor a suit to make it slim fit and I have a question just to confirm something before tailoring my boyfriend's suit jacket, which has double vents. To make the slim fit, let's say I need to take in 4 inches, do I just take in 2 inches at the sides seams without needing to take in the back seam, or should I take in 1 inch at back seam & 1.5 inches at both side seams? Just want to know what would be the best approach to alter the suit jacket.😊

Omg he scared the shyt outta me when he moved🤣 I thought he was a mannequin the whole time🤣

I have a coat that I want to take in from the back to make it more tailored. How do I do that when there is a lining? Should I rip the lining seam from the middle back area and then resew it somehow although it won't look the same as the original way since I will have ripped the seam apart to get to the coat fabric.

Superb ❤❤❤❤❤

@sewshowwithshae

3 жыл бұрын

Great question; we remove the same amount of material from the outer sleeve as the lining so that they stay equal Lanks based on the original cut, however, the best way I have found to keep that from happening is to tack lining to the seam allowance of both the under arm seam and the seam running along the back of the arm as well on the inside before closing the lining. Happy sewing!

Re: Sleeves: Will it shorten them when shoulders are taken in? Also, when shortening sleeves; what is done if the reduced length comes up to against the lowest button?

@James-rq9qb

3 жыл бұрын

Re: Second question - it depends on whether the buttons are functional or not (i.e. if there are actually button holes and they can unbutton, or whether they are purely decorative and have no holes). If they are just decorative, then you just remove the buttons that are too close to the end of the sleeve, and add them again to the back of the row of buttons. If the buttons are functional, then you instead have to shorten the sleeve from the other end - by removing them completely, shortening, and then reattaching at the shoulder.
