Technical Help / Hem finish on skirt - thick fabric
« on: March 04, 2021, 06:49:23 AM »
Hello!
I'm new here. And quite new to making my own clothes.
Question
How do I finish the hem on a skirt which is thick fabric without it sticking out or becoming stiff
More Information
I have not used a pattern; I was trying to make the most out of the fabric I had.
I have included a very rough sketch of how the fabric was cut and assembled.
(I'll add the photos that didnt load properly to the comments)
I chose to finish the vertical seems by binding them in homemade cotton twill bias tape
I also tried to finish the hem with the same tape but its just making it stick out funny.
