Double Hem | Jenniffer Taylor | Photo Tutorial
Learn how to master a double hem and give your finished skirt a neat result.
A double folded hem is an enclosed seam – the raw edges are concealed, giving you a neat finish. How deep you have the hem will depend on the shape of the hemline. If your skirt has a relatively straight or flat hem then a deep hem can be used. If the hem is curved, a narrow hem will be required otherwise unwanted folds and pleats will occur in the fabric. Before you even cut out your fabric, make sure you add enough hem allowance to the hemline of your skirt pattern. It needs to be twice the depth you want, as you will be turning it back on itself twice.
