I went on vacation to Los Angeles this weekend, raided the thrift stores, and ended up with 15 fitted shirts, a few pairs of pants, and a cordoroy blazer. My girlfriend has a sewing machine, and she's offered to help me learn to tailor my clothes, which is great because I'm a short, muscular guy whose clothes never fit. I just found this forum recently and I've been inspired to have well-fitting clothes. My questions are:
*What can be done? I figure hemming the bottom of my pants and shirt sleeves will be easy, but what about tapering my shirts? What about tapering my pants?
*Should I even touch the blazer?
*I'd like to shorten all my t-shirts a bit. Is there a good rule of thumb regarding where the hem should hit?
