Hi Nehzat,
I like to learn how to do a curved hem. I saw the video for rolled hem on a curve, but do you have one for a wider single and double folded hem?
Thanks,
Enas

RE: curved hem

Dear Enas

In the last part of the Panel Dress Sewing with Flared Skirt, Facing and Lining online video that will be released for March 2012, we cover single fold curved hem on the shell and double fold curved hem on the lining. Please check in a few days to see the videos and let me know if you have any questions.

Regards
Nehzat

 Dear Nehzat, For the double

 Dear Nehzat,

For the double fold curved hem you did on the lining, wouldn’t there be excess fabric just like in the single fold curved hem you did on the shell where you had to apply gathering?

Also, can these methods be applied on deeper curves?

Thanks,

Enas

Re: Curved Hem

Dear enasokab,

Since we are forming a curved narrow double folded hem on the lining there will not be too much excess fabric when forming the hem.

You can also double fold along a deeper fold, if the double fold is very narrow.

Happy sewing,

Nehzat
