Technical Help / Re: Hem finish on skirt - thick fabric
« on: March 04, 2021, 10:27:48 AM »
Wow, thanks everyone
I shall try the steaming/ ironing.
On the photo on the dress-form, I had tried to fix the hem on one side (the side which has a nice wave... the other side tgats wonky is the original hem)
Below is a rough drawing of how I did the bias tape binding.
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
I already had the cotton/polycotton twill
I made the bias tape it after seeing a handy tutorial online. The fabric is quite stiff though so that might be adding to the rigidity as Sandra has pointed out.
I shall try to keep you updated of my "progress" haha
