You are genius! The best tutorial I could find on this. Thank you.

Super helpful explanation! I have a difficult time finding off the rack sports coats that fit my body proportions. I recently purchased a sports coat I love and that fits in the arms and shoulders but it is too long for my torso. This tutorial will be perfect for guiding me in shortening it. I'll practice on a thrift-store sports coat. While pocket proportions are a consideration, it doesn't matter that in your presentation the pockets are not properly proportioned after hemming (ignore the haters) because I needed a good tutorial on hemming a blazer. Thanks!

This came out on perfect timing! Thank you!

Fascinating to watch! Would like to see how to replicate the curved bottom corners of the jacket.

Hello Anastasia. Thank you for making this video. ❤

[Escapemom]

Great info. Always wondered the best way to do this.

[ritaanderson]

Thanks for this. Now to attack my jacket

I love how you explain things. Do you have any advice for how to shorten the sleeve lengths on blazers? I imagine it's similar to this -- but if buttons are involved, is it just not going to work?

Thank you, I appreciate your steps for finishing hem and lining. Very useful information. But, I liked the original better than the after. It seems disproportionate at shoulders (wide) and hips (too narrow) in relation to the length of the jacket. It's all a matter of personal preference. Thanks for the video.

Perfect…now let’s fix the arm-pits that are too low. 😊

Could you have left the lining loose? Rather than stitching the lining and the finish fabric together?

[ivaivan]

You shouldn't shortened that much, because now the pockets are really close to the bottom and it doesn't look good.

lol it doesn’t look professionally done.
