You need a million subs Shae <3333 got my first job at a tailor's shop and your channel's been so invaluable!

Holy cow I've never seen a blind stitch machine. So cool! Can you do like a slow-motion close-up of how it works?

You are amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us.

So glad to have you back!

Great video again  Shae

Nice job Shea

This is great!

Thank you❤

I recently relined a sleeve on an outdoor jacket and, having seen how you do it, did it from the inside through a small gap in a seam. I thought my head would explode! It is a MENSA level puzzle figuring out which bit needs to be inside out and inside. Finally did it so thanks very much for the demonstation. 😄

Hey Shae, nice to see something new from you.
It's very motivating to see a professional at work. I wonder if the drape of the fabric changes if you taper just one side of the leg?

I am certain I've watched this exact video before on your channel 🤔

Hi! Love the show! I have, in fact, inherited many old suits from my grandpa and have been slowly altering the pants to fit me. Im keeping the pleats but have taken in the waists and done some hemming, and this video will be super helpful for tapering. Is there a way to raise the crotch area higher so its not so baggy? I feel like im swimming in fabric lol. Thank you! And keep up the great videos!

Would you ever invisiblely (sew down inside the pleat) sew closed the the pleats??

Great tutorial. I have a few women’s Armani pants that I have outgrown. Beautiful Italian wool from 20 years ago that are too small. Any chance you can do a tutorial on how to remove the pleats to add more width to the waist/hip area?  Thanks.

Could you lay the pants out so we could see a before and after? And if the customer would not mind, see them on before and after? I am very curious how the alterations looks in the end.
Otherwise great video to learn some techniques that can be applied for own personal style.

Fellas, don't ever take those pleats out. Pleats are life.

Question:  i need to hemm a pair of dress pants for my adult son that wears his waist below his belly.  The back of the waist is higher up when he has them on.  Do I need to do any type of angled hem to compensate for the waistband being at different levels of the  body.   (I hope that makes sense)

Hi Shae, I have a question to ask.  I work in a very small store and I do the pant hemming for men. We sell all security work clothes.  When we order our clothing, some companies send the pantsthat are either: pressed in-seam to in-seam and others folded out-seam to out-seam (so the fly zipper is of course tucked in and back crotch is pointing out).  In both situations is one way better folded to do the hems and get a better result - and easier, or it does not really matter.  Unfortunately, I work alone for the sewing and don't have someone to bounce off of for simple questions like this.  And when you've been working a certain way for so long, it becomes a habit and one doesn't think to look for a better way.  thank you.  I know you are super busy, so maybe in a next video you could mention it.  take care and so excited for you with all your positive life changes.  Ohhh ohh as well one more question; when you use your tape measure to measure the inseam, 'exactly' how and where to you place the tape to get a good reading of the inseam.  thanks!!

My opinion. ( I realize no one asked) It was great but…I am left puzzled by “so were the double pleats gone.” I think you will show us more and show the full effect of your work if you hold up the pants at the start and the altered pants at the end. We can then see the difference; otherwise it’s hard to fully appreciate.
