These are such clever ways to shorten T-shirts without making the process complicated! 👕✂ I especially love sewing tricks that help us get a better fit while keeping our favorite clothes wearable. If you enjoy practical T-shirt alterations, you might find more useful ideas on Thread And Petal, too! 🧵🌸
Я раніше підшивала двійною голкою, але цей спосіб практичніший!
I have absolutely no interest in sewing, but I watch your videos just to admire your beauty
А блузки и рубашки укорачивать тоже также? 🎉
Was ist daran neu? Macht doch sicher jeder so. Oder?
Классно 👍💞! Молодец!
These two T-shirt shortening methods are pure genius for quick wardrobe alterations! 👕✂ Hemming stretchy knit jersey without a coverstitch machine often leads to wavy, distorted edges, but your folded 2 cm hem technique [01:40] and the clever original-hem reattachment with a stretch stitch [08:14] preserve the factory-finished look completely. Showing the precise chalk measurements, crisp steam pressing [04:25], and test scraps makes the whole process so approachable for any sewist. Thank you for another practical, time-saving upcycling tutorial! Always love your clever DIY sewing solutions!
Здорово..вы умница спасибо за урок
I followed along closely but got lost at the point where you are folding up the hem and the white line is in the middle. I thought that line was the bottom of the hem, but apparently not. Confused…
I just use wonder web and iron where I want it works well 😌
Отличный способ. Спасибо 👍
Спасибо большое!❤
Супер 🎉❤
❤спасибо❤
I mark where my hemline & cutting line will be, serge & cut off what is not needed, then fold to the hemline and use a twin stretch double need to finish the hem off.
Все швы на трикотажных изделиях должны быть эластичными. Обыкновенная прямая строчка обречена быть порванной при малейшем растяжении трикотажного изделия.
Super Ideen! 👍👍👍👍
Looks good. Will the bottom still stretch though?
