Shirts stitching options<\/h2>\n
Next, you need to decide what exactly needs to be done. To do this, you need to turn the shirt inside out, try it on for the person who will wear it. Carefully examine what sits incorrectly, where it is large, clarify the nuances according to the sensations (presses, too spacious, long sleeve, etc.). When all the technical issues have been resolved, we proceed to the aesthetic ones.<\/p>\n
Reducing shirt size step by step<\/h2>\n
In order to change the size, it is necessary to very accurately and accurately outline the excess areas of the fabric for further trimming. Cooked pins will come in handy. What are we doing:<\/p>\n
- \n
- With the help of pins, the material is collected along the length of the seam, be careful that it is even. Inaccuracy will deform the fabric.<\/li>\n
- When all the seams are checked, the silhouette is ready, take off the shirt from the trying one and start trimming the excess sections. For convenience during subsequent wear, the edges can be sewn on a sewing machine.<\/li>\n
- At the end of sewing and trying on, already in finished form, use an iron to steam off the beveled edges and the job is done.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

There are two options here, depending on which manufacturer sewed the product. If this is a European quality, then suturing the sides cannot be avoided. If you just want to fit the shirt, you can shape the seam along the back into an arc. Getting started:<\/p>\n- \n
- Trying on clothes.<\/li>\n
- With pins we pin the fabric along the dorsal seam, from bottom to top. Leave the waist slightly rounded.<\/li>\n
- You need to pin the material in the waist area a little higher, about 20 cm.<\/li>\n
- The seams (old and new) should be as accurate as possible, even and blend smoothly into each other.<\/li>\n
- Cut off the excess with scissors, sweep the edges.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
If you come across a thing without such a seam, you can make undercuts slightly below the waist.<\/p>\n
How to sew mens and womens shirts at the waist<\/h2>\n
There are two ways to sew the product along the waist line. If the product is from a European factory with a seam in the middle of the back, then it is necessary to suture the sides. In this case, the seam must be made to the border of the sleeve, but it itself will not be cut.<\/p>\n
The new seam does not need to be made even and straight. If the shirt is to be fitted, then the seam will be flattened in a circular manner.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nSide part cut<\/p>\n
Step-by-step process of work:<\/p>\n
- \n
- turn the shirt out and try on yourself or the person who will wear it;<\/li>\n
- work begins with the bottom seam, it is necessary to stab the material in such a way that a barely visible rounding is formed in the waist area;<\/li>\n
- stab the shirt in this way about 10-15 cm above the waistline;<\/li>\n
- you need to pay attention to the fact that a slow transition from the new seam to the old one forms on top;<\/li>\n
- sew on a typewriter and cut off the remnants of the fabric.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Shortening the sleeve<\/h2>\n
Sometimes there are times when the piece fits really well but has insanely long sleeves. You can sew the sleeves of the shirt with your own hands by sewing the cuffs.<\/p>\n
![\"How](\"https:\/\/inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/post-167356-607bc1196583a.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\nScheme for cutting off material<\/p>\n
To do this, you need to open two cuffs and cut the sleeve to the required length. It is also necessary to change the line of the side seam of the cuff. It is important to remember that the width of the sleeve should be the same as the length of the cuff. Before starting to sew the product, you need to accurately measure and carefully sew on the cuff, because the sleeves are an important part of the shirt and people can see it all the time.<\/p>\n
Sewing on the armhole of the shirt sleeve<\/h2>\n
To sew the width of the sleeve by a few millimeters, first you need to turn it inside out and unfold it so that there are no folds on the fabric. The required distance is measured with a centimeter and a contour is drawn along the entire sleeve, along which the sewing seam will be sewn.<\/p>\n
![\"How](\"https:\/\/inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/post-167356-607bc11a588ca.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\nProduct measurement process<\/p>\n
You also need to remember that if it is necessary to take only 3 mm from the sleeve of the product, it means that only 1.5 mm should be measured from the already finished seam. This can be easily explained – the trimming of the fabric will be 1.5 mm on both sides, so the result will be 3 mm. After drawing the line and securing the material with pins, the line is sewn using a sewing machine or by hand.<\/p>\n
If the sleeves need to be sewn in more than 5 mm, then you need to cut the side seam next to the armhole under the sleeve, trim off the excess fabric, and then carefully sew.<\/p>\n
Attention!<\/strong> This option of work is one of the most laborious, if it is wrong to take measurements, then the thing will turn out to be not symmetrical, which will be very conspicuous and not comfortable to sit on the body. Therefore, if there is no experience in working with armholes, then it is better not to take it.<\/p>\n
Sewing on the shoulders<\/h2>\n
If the shirt has become one size larger than necessary, it is quite possible to sew it in by shortening the armhole, in the shoulders and the side seam. The step-by-step work is described below:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nHow to shorten a shirt<\/p>\n
- \n
- first you need to decide how many centimeters you want to reduce each part of the shirt. It is better to write down all measurements so that there are no errors;<\/li>\n
- turn the product inside out, be sure to mark the contour of the future stitching place with a marker, indicating it through the entire existing side seam and armhole;<\/li>\n
- all built marks must be fixed with needles;<\/li>\n
- the old armhole and side seams of the shirt must be cut, then cut off the excess material;<\/li>\n
- it is advisable to perform new stitches with a sewing machine, if available. And all the edges must be processed manually or using an overlock.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nHow to make narrow shoulders<\/p>\n
Attention!<\/strong> The lines on both sides of the product must be symmetrical. If a new shirt is being sutured, then first you need to wash it so that it shrinks.<\/p>\n
It is more difficult to work with oversized things, for them there are special schemes according to which the filing takes place.<\/p>\n
How to shorten men's and women's shirts in length<\/h2>\n
It is easier to shorten the product in length than all the manipulations described above. If desired, in this case, you can not even use a sewing machine, but use only needles and threads. There is no need to unpick the seams or cut off the fabric, you just need to bend the bottom of the product, iron it and stitch it with any convenient seam.<\/p>\n
Work process:<\/p>\n
- \n
- try on a shirt for the model and measure the required amount of fabric for hemming;<\/li>\n
- indicate the place of length with a marker;<\/li>\n
- remove the product and lay it out on the surface;<\/li>\n
- measure with a centimeter how much fabric will be cut;<\/li>\n
- subtract 2 cm from the obtained parameters and lay one dotted line along the entire lower side of the product;<\/li>\n
- cut off excess fabric and fix the line with needles;<\/li>\n
- to sew and iron the shirt.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

Sometimes the question arises, how to hem a shirt with a rounded bottom? Everything is done the same way, only the bottom line will be arched.<\/p>\n
How to quickly sew a men's shirt at the side seams<\/h2>\n
If you want to reduce the size of the shirt on the sides, but you do not have the opportunity to try on the product, you should take measurements of OG and OT. Depending on the length of the shirt, you may need to measure the OB.<\/p>\n
Using a crayon or pencil, outline the desired size.<\/p>\n
Next, draw the outlines of the side seams.<\/p>\n
We cut the fabric with tailor's pins.<\/p>\n
Sew the seams and trim off the excess fabric.<\/p>\n
At the end, be sure to iron the new seams of the fitted men's shirt.<\/p>\n
The process of suturing the armhole of the sleeve of a man's shirt<\/h2>\n
If you need to reduce the armhole, start by ripping the sleeves off. We estimate the width of the opening, select the desired area of \u200b\u200bfabric with a needle and carefully hem the desired amount of fabric. After that, we start sewing on the sewing machine. Attaching sleeves, trying on a shirt.<\/p>\n
How to sew on the sleeves of a men's and women's shirt<\/h2>\n
Sometimes, when trying on, it turns out that the sleeves of the shirt are large in the area of \u200b\u200bthe armhole. The overall appearance suffers from this. The armhole is reduced by suturing the area between the upper and lower points of the central part of the shirt. To reduce the armhole, you can't do without ripping open the sleeves. After cutting off the sleeves with a pin, the armhole is fastened, measuring the distance necessary for suturing, and fitting is performed. Then the sleeves are sewn in along a new line and the fabric is smoothed from the inside.<\/p>\n
- \n
- when basting the sleeves to the narrowed armhole, a vertical fold is laid on the sleeve, which, after sewing to the armhole, must be carefully ironed;<\/li>\n
- if the method of touching the folds is not suitable, then the sleeve is sutured along the seam, altering the slot and suturing the cuffs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n
Advice! With a complete alteration of the sleeve width, the cuff does not need to be reduced. To make it narrower, it is enough to alter the button a few millimeters to the left.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
What to do if the product is too wide at the shoulders<\/h2>\n
If the product is large in the shoulders, then it immediately becomes noticeable. There are several ways to sew a shoulder seam. Method one:<\/p>\n
- \n
- On the owner of the shirt, measure the required distance from the collar to the shoulder line. This line is marked with chalk or pins.<\/li>\n
- The shirt is removed, laid out on a flat table, along the marked line, a line of the proposed future seam is drawn.<\/li>\n
- The product is folded in half, so that the sleeves are symmetrical to each other.<\/li>\n
- A neat cut is made along the drawn line.<\/li>\n
- After that, the central part of the product and 2 sleeves remain on the table, several millimeters are cut off from each sleeve.<\/li>\n
- Each sleeve is tied to the center of the shirt.<\/li>\n
- After trying on, the sleeves are machine-sewn.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
![\"How](\"https:\/\/inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/4aab7bda8bd4b6d8e6084e5f9937b35a-1.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\nThe second method involves ripping the seam along the shoulder line, bending a few centimeters of the fabric along the sewing line. After these manipulations, a fitting is carried out. If the product fits in size, then the sleeves are sewn with a machine seam. After sewing the line, the fabric is carefully ironed along the shoulder line.<\/p>\n
How to reduce the length of the product<\/h2>\n
If the shirt fits at the shoulders, looks good in width, but is long, then shortening it is quite simple. After trying on, determine the required amount of fabric to be cut. At the same time, it is taken into account that the edge of the product must be processed using a fold, therefore, an extra distance is left. According to the rules, from 0.8 centimeter to 1 centimeter is left on the hem. The exact calculation depends on the material of the shirt. For heavier fabrics, leave more fabric for the hem, and for thin fabrics, the minimum is sufficient.<\/p>\n
\n
According to the measurements, a straight line is drawn with the help of chalk or a piece of soap, a rough seam is stitched along it with colored thread.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
After trying on, a seam is sewn on a typewriter. The last step of the procedure is to gently pull out the seam that has been mastered with colored thread. The final step includes a thorough steaming of the bottom seam. When shortening a shirt with side curves, it can be difficult to follow the lines exactly. In this case, when taking measurements, it is necessary to measure the shortening line from the bottom edge, and also precisely align the seam lines when folding the product.<\/p>\n
![\"How](\"https:\/\/inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/329d0f47e4969748ca0e4fcc774f1593-1.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\nReference! When measuring the required length when planning the shortening, take into account the location of the last button.<\/strong><\/p>\n
How to adjust the collar<\/h2>\n
The shirt can be large along the collar line. This is determined by evaluating the overall appearance with the shirt buttoned up with all buttons.<\/p>\n
- \n
- if the index finger can be held between the collar and the throat, then the collar does not need to be altered;<\/li>\n
- if the collar presses on the throat, skin folds can be seen above the collar edge, then the size is small;<\/li>\n
- if you can hold several fingers between the collar and the throat, and the edges of the collar lie on the shoulders, then such a collar is large.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
It is almost impossible to carefully alter the collar on your own. To reduce the volume of this part, you will need to completely rip apart several main seams, which form the basis of the whole product. In addition, the collar on the shirts is lined with interlining and sewn on industrial equipment. The only thing you can do yourself to correct the condition of the collar is to reduce the collar length by at least 12 millimeters, to a maximum of 20 millimeters. In this case, a collar shortened in length will visually look smaller by size.<\/p>\n
\n
Information! Only an experienced tailor can completely change the shape of the collar, make it narrower in width.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

- Step 1. Put the shirt inside out and pin the two vertical darts on either side of the middle of the back, keeping the symmetry.<\/li>\n
- Step 2. Take off your shirt and mark the top, middle and width of the darts with chalk on the pins. For accuracy, put on the garment again and check the marks.<\/li>\n
- Step 3. The darts must be swept, checked for symmetry, and then grinded.<\/li>\n
- Step 4. Iron the darts towards the middle of the back.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

- Step 1. After spreading the item on the table, mark new seams with soap or chalk.<\/li>\n
- Step 2. Use safety pins to split the material.<\/li>\n
- Step 3. Sew the shirt using new measurements, remove excess fabric and overcast the edges.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
do darts<\/h3>\n
The darts are made so that the product fits the figure. Begin to lay from the side seam, slightly below the level of the armpit. The top point should be where the shape is most convex. They are sharpened on the parts from the inside out, after cutting. The line must end at the top point.<\/p>\n

Without using ripping<\/h3>\n
You need to do the following:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Step 1. Using a measuring tape, measure the required length from the collar to the far shoulder line, draw a line here.<\/li>\n
- Step 2. Draw in chalk a place for the future seam, which should end at the edge of the armpit line.<\/li>\n
- Step 3. Fold the garment in half and cut the fabric along the drawn line. If the instructions are followed correctly, the sleeves and the main part of the shirt should become separate parts.<\/li>\n
- Step 4. Pin off the cut sleeve with the back and shelf. It is necessary to connect the parts so that there are no holes. Remember that the size of the armhole has become larger.<\/li>\n
- Step 5. Sew the connected parts and iron. The product is ready to wear.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
By ripping<\/h3>\n
You need to do the following:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Step 1. Determine the desired shoulder length and place it on the fabric. It is also necessary to draw a line that will be parallel to the sleeve seam.<\/li>\n
- Step 2. Remember to check the symmetry, otherwise the sleeves will be different sizes.<\/li>\n
- Step 3. At this stage it is necessary to open the seams and gently whip the sleeves.<\/li>\n
- Step 4. Cutting off the excess fabric, connect the sleeves and the openings for them. Then the parts must be sewn with a double stitch.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
In order to properly and neatly open the seam, use a special seam ripper. To do this, pass its thin end under the thread and pull it up. Repeat this operation with each stitch.<\/p>\n
Shortening the sleeves<\/h3>\n
![\"How](\"https:\/\/inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/41a830ab9ec60057e51885a5859f2e83-1.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\nIn order to shorten the sleeve length, careful measurements must be taken. Remember that the optimal length is determined by the lower edge of the cuff: it should reach the bone that attaches the thumb to the hand.<\/p>\n
There are several options for shortening:<\/p>\n
- \n
- First, you need to rip off the cuff, and leave the folds intact with pins. Then measure the distance to be cut. After trimming the unwanted fabric, sew the cuff back to the sleeve.<\/li>\n
- Reverse the cuff and elements that cut the sleeve cut. Measure the cut of the splines, mark a new one and make a cut for it. Make a triangular cut at the top of the slots, cut off the excess material at the bottom of the product. Pay particular attention to the design of the corners of the cuff. Sewing the cut starting at the narrow element. Sew on one side of the cuff, keeping in mind the pleats on the sleeve. Then sew on the second surface.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
The second method is more laborious and requires certain sewing skills.<\/p>\n
If you want to shorten the sleeve by more than 2 centimeters, don't just cut off the excess fabric. This will reduce the size of the vents and make your shirt look unattractive. In this case, it is necessary not only to cut the material, but also to completely redo the slot.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nThe easiest way to reduce the size of your shirt is to shorten the length of your shirt. With a certain sewing skill, you can do without a sewing machine. Use a thin needle instead and hem the garment with neat small stitches.<\/p>\n
More detailed instructions are as follows:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Step 1. First, put on your shirt and look at the amount of fabric you need to remove.<\/li>\n
- Step 2. Draw with chalk the place on the fabric to be removed.<\/li>\n
- Step 3. After removing your shirt, lay it out on a well-lit surface.<\/li>\n
- Step 4. Use a measuring tape to measure the desired length.<\/li>\n
- Step 5. It is necessary to subtract 1-1.5 cm from the resulting number. After that, lay a solid line along the bottom of the product.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Step 6. Cut off unnecessary material and sew a new seam. At the end of the work, you need to do a hem. To do this, leave an allowance of 1.2 cm between the seam and the bottom edge of the product.Fold the allowance in half, bringing the cut to the seam made.<\/p>\n
Then fold the seam allowance over to the marked seam line and fold it completely inside the garment. Secure with hand stitch, iron and sew on a sewing machine. Iron one more time to finish.<\/p>\n
