Having mental block about hems Need help with uneven hem
Mrs4Him   Advanced Beginner MO USA Member since 7/19/09 Posts: 82	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 5/22/12 1:12 PM I am making a dress from the already shirred fabric you can get to make an instant dress. I am having a brain fart about the hem and it being uneven after sewing the side seam at the bottom. The hem I'm working with is about 5/8" off at the bottom. I thought if I cut off and blended the longer with the shorter, it's going to be shorter on that side so that doesn't work, right? How do I even out the whole thing?

Good luck.
