Make a hem
Find out: how to take care of your clothes
The handmade hem: it's easy!
For trousers or a skirt, first of all you have to try on the garment to take the measurements and understand how much you need to shorten it. Then, before taking it off, pin the fabric to secure the length. Finally, nothing could be simpler: with the garment inside out, sew in correspondence with the pins, taking care starting from the inside, so that the seam is not visible. Do not pull the thread and make small stitches. When you have finished your hem, iron the garment inside out.
A little trick: to get an almost imperceptible hem, use only one thread.

Another danger: Before buying the pants of your dreams, check that there is enough fabric to make the hem. If you have to lengthen them by 3 cm, for example, the existing hem must be at least 5 cm, to allow you to make a fold (you have to count a margin of 2 - 3 cm). If not, forget about this purchase!

The hem done on the sewing machine
It is necessary for garments such as jeans, which need very small points, to be invisible. Be careful not to pull the thread too tight to avoid wrinkles.

<br>The fast hem<br>Don't have time to sew? Go out and buy some iron-on strips! Ideal for an evening or a day, they are also easy to use. As with the handmade hem, just take the measurements on the garment to be shortened. Generally, thermo-adhesive strips measure between 3 and 5 cm in width. Cut one according to the size of the hem you need to make. Coat both sides of the adhesive strip with resin-based glue. Afterward, put it between the edge and the crease. Finally, all you have to do is take the iron and slide it slowly over the edge. The strip will come off after a wash. The strips are in fact machine washable.
