Sewing Basics – Techniques – Hemming

“Hem”
Hemming is one thing that most people have to have done for their clothing to fit correctly. I love teaching and helping people save money! So, I have put together this techniques class.

This class will teach you how to use the basic top stitch and blind hem properly. Both are the most commonly used hems in today’s garments!

My freshman year of junior high was the last year they offered Home Economics at Kettering City Schools. So I thought, well if they stopped teaching essential life skills for hemming, I figured… I need to help teach this!
