Why This Hem Looks Wiggly (and How I Fixed It!)

In this week’s mini extra video, I’m tackling a common sewing (and manufacturing!) mistake—a wiggly hem on a flared top. The problem? The original deep hem wasn’t suited to the curved shape of the garment, causing ripples instead of a smooth finish. I’ll show you a simple fix: cutting off the hem and reusing that same piece to create a shaped facing. With this method, your curved hems will lay flat and smooth—just the way they’re meant to! Whether you’re altering ready-to-wear or finishing your own sewing projects, this is a quick tip you’ll want to keep in your toolkit. ✂️ Don’t forget to subscribe for more sewing tutorials, thrifting tips, and creative inspiration every week! #sewingtips #upcycledfashion #sewingtutorial #howtosew #catherinesews 💖 Affiliate Links & Sewing Tools I Love 🖤 LDH Scissors – My absolute favourite Canadian scissors!
