Sewing Technique Hemming

Most people have to hem their clothing to ensure it fits correctly. Hemming has gotten expensive if you need to have items fixed constantly. Since I am also a shorty and have to hem my pants, I wanted to show you how easy it is!

I love teaching and helping people save money, so I have put together this class on techniques.

This class will teach you how to properly use the basic topstitch and blind hem. The most common hems in today’s garments!

Meanwhile, my first year of junior high was the last year Home Economics was offered in our local school. That means they stopped teaching essential life skills, such as sewing.
