Make a Fitted T-shirt With a Shell Tuck Hem | Sewing Details

In this video, Sarai will show you how to sew a shell tucked hem using the Orlando shirt as an example (https://www.seamwork.com/catalog/orlando). The littlest detail can make the biggest difference in your sewing. Adding a decorative hem seems simple enough, but the impact really makes your garment stand out. A shell tuck hem is the kind of detail that transforms the neckline and hems of your sewing projects, and it’s effortless to sew. A classic vintage detail that doesn’t add a lot of extra work? Sounds perfect. So what is a shell tuck hem? It’s a decorative hem with a bit of a vintage touch, also called a scallop or picot hem, because you’re creating little scallops by stitching on and off the edge of your fabric. This means you can create it with a simple sewing machine stitch. This little detail works well on delicate, sheer fabrics, but it's also great on knits. You’ll often see it on childrenswear, but its vintage vibe makes it great for a bunch of different styles.
