Hallie Abrams shows how to use a seam ripper to remove factory tacking from jacket vents without damaging fabric. The tool's sharp front edge and dull back make it safer than scissors. She demonstrates on an oversized blazer, explaining why factories tack vents and offering practical tips like checking your lighting.
Where's seam ripper? See, this is bad, bad, bad, bad. Don't do it. You gotta— don't do it, girl. I'm gonna link this. It looks weird, doesn't it? But this is a handy dandy tool so that you don't mess up your clothes when you have to take a tag off. It's called the seam ripper. See that little X? X marks the spot of it should not be there. And if it is, it's telling people you don't know what you like— walked out of the house Showing your underwear, kind of. There we go. So normally jackets, when they come from the factory, the vents are tacked down like this to make sure that they don't end up like folded in weird. So it keeps it like crisp, but then it also shows that it came from the factory. And this seam ripper is good because if you use real scissors, you could cut the fabric This, it's not sharp on the back side, it's only sharp on the front side, so you're just cutting what is meant to be cut. Do I need glasses? Props, because it's all dark. I know from other videos that you guys hate this blazer, and that's okay because I love it. It is way oversized and it's cozy, and I sort of feel like I'm wearing my husband's jacket, but that's okay. That's the vibe, that's what I'm going for, and I like it. It gives it like a casualness that I appreciate. And if you don't, don't wear it.
