Thank you so much! I was nervous but hemmed my dress for a wedding yesterday & saved myself some money & a trip to the alterations lady

As a 5'1 female, I think I need to hem just about everything in my closet 😂 thanks for this simple and informative video! 🙏

[lizetteeckman]

Great instructional video! So detailed and not a lot of filler comments. Thank you - totally going to try this on my concert gown used for my choir.

Thanks, this was helpful! Was a bit scared to hem my dress since I haven’t touched a sewing machine in 14 years, but I got it done and it was so easy and quick! Did it on my ancient Husqvarna Automatic from the 60s.

This video is a few years old but still is exactly spot on for how to hem a dress. Just what I needed!

[SamanthaXElena]

Thank you for this!!! I have law school prom this weekend and my house flooded so I wanted to save some money on alterations! This 5 foot girlie is eternally grateful!

I am so scared that I will mess up my dress but I really want to try!!!

[Chonkish]

This was an amazingly helpful tutorial! Thank you for showing how to do this hem with out a special foot. I feel very confident that I can hem my daughter’s prom dress now. Wish me luck! 🤞

Thanks, this really helped. AND right to the point of what i needed done. I've just shorten a long skirt. Really helpful. Thanks for posting!

Thank you for showing where you sowed! Lots of these videos don’t show it they just say “now I’m gonna take it to the machine”

Hi ! As a untrained empiric sewer I always press the fold(s) of the hem with the iron first, pin as I go and then secure it by hand basting (large long stitiches, which can esaily be removed after machine or hand sewing). Would not have the confidence or skill to sew with all those pins attached, having to take care to remove them as I go while keeping my eyes on the needle at the same time!

Love this, thank you so much! Quick question. In your video you said find a similar measurement from the marked pins to make them the same and then mark to cut. But when I do that, the back of my skirt is shorter than the front. How would do the measurements for the back of the skirt (I have a bigger butt ) to make the skirt the same length all the way around?

Anastasia, I searched "how to hem a curved edge" One hour later, I found this amazing channel. I'm 5 feet tall. Thank you! I've subscribed.

Great video
Explained simply and straight forward
Thank you 😊

[jschumacher]

This was super helpful. You helped me hem my first skirt and it turned out great. Thank you!!

[saashaj]

I'm 4'10 and A HALF and I can't fit ANYTHING! I've been paying to get my clothes altered but I refuse to pay for my latest finds because to get it hemmed cost more than the dress itself . I think I can follow this simple yet detailed tutorial and do it myself. Thank you so much! Stay tuned! PS, this is my first video but I've liked, subscribed and I plan to be back 😊

[edenday]

Thanks for this video! I was able to fix my dress for a performance, and it worked like a charm!

[StephieJayH]
