What's the point of having clothes that you like if they don't fit you properly? In this playlist you're going to learn how to do things like taper your jeans, hem them if they're too long, and give your t-shirts a nice V-taper to them. Do you know what dress shirt muffin top is? Yeah, I hate it, and we're going to get rid of it!

By the end of these videos you will be a master at using your sewing machine, understanding common settings and problems that might arise, and how to set it up. You will also learn about cotton and polyester thread, and what to use and when. Hint, they both have their pros and cons. You will also learn what kind of needles to use and why. There's like a hundred different types of sewing machine needles, but I bounce between two, a universal needle and a denim needle.

There are a couple of things that can make tailoring at home much easier, and here is where you're going to find it. From how to cut your fabric, how to measure properly, and everything in between. And then there's my favorite, how to use a seam ripper, because I used to mess up BAD in the beginning! Enjoy!

There's a few products out there that I swear by and wouldn't be the same without in my life! First and foremost, Certain Dri is a straight game changer. It says that it works for up to 3 days, and they're not lying, it really does work the whole time! I put it on at night after my shower, and for the next 3 days nothing, there's nothing at all going on in my armpits!

Another great one that I use everyday is a soap called Hibiclens. It's an anti bacterial soap and it doesn't only kill bacteria, it keeps killing bacteria for, once again, up to 3 days. I use it in my armpits and "down there" and I never ever have to worry about smelling, at all.

And for a deodorant I use Shower to Shower body powder. I don't know if you have ever used a powder for your deodorant, but you should. Nothing is more annoying than the waxy sticky feeling that most deodorants leave in your armpits. Not with this powder, it keeps things dry and smooth, and the smell is an awesome added bonus.

In order to look good in your clothes they have to fit properly. Why not just learn how to tailor yourself? It's incredibly easy once get the hang of it. In this playlist you're gonna learn how to do things like tapering your shirts, adding darts, making a t shirt a slim fit, or even removing the pocket from a dress shirt. You can even do things like change the color of the buttons on your shirts, or learn how to measure your shirt or pants before you sew them.

You learn how to use a sewing machine in about 5 minutes. There's really only two different settings you need to know about, a straight stitch and a zig zag stitch. With those two stitches you can do almost anything and make almost any item of clothing look amazing on you!

What I like to do is instead of shopping at expensive stores I like to shop at places like Target and Kohl's and even Costco and get a great deal on my clothes and tailor them to fit me better. What sense does it make to spend $40 on a shirt when it looks like a garbage bag on you? Makes no sense at all to me!

There are a lot of things that I wish I knew when I was younger, from how to be more confident to how to find what I'm passionate about in life and everything in between. If any of those things apply to you then you're in the right place!

Learning how to tailor is one thing but what if you want to use the SAME professional seams that the pros use? Well then this playlist is your you. In here you're going to learn the basic stitches and seams like the straight stitch, zigzag stitch, and more professional seams like the flat felled seam and the french seam.
