  • In this video you will learn an easy way to achieve the perfect rolled hem on tricky chiffon fabric.
    Measure, stitch and then cut!
    This is a similar technique to the 'Rolled Hem without a Special Foot'
    See my other hemming videos for alternative techniques.

    Thank you for your terrific video, it is just super. I remember having to shorten my future sister-in-law's wedding dress (at a time when TH-cam tutorials were not in existence 😮). It was the most nerve-wracking job as I was not an experienced sewer at the time. I approached the task by measuring how much it needed to be shortened, cut it and then tried to create a rolled hem. I did get the dress done but I think I aged 10 years in the process and swore never to undertake anything like that again. Now, after seeing your video it makes so much sense. Great job 😁

    That was great! I've watched several vids and decided - I CAN'T DO THAT! Then as about to give up, I clicked on you. I have a sewing machine that I do simple alterations and pillow cases for the cat shelter and that's
    about all I can accomplish but I had an idea in my mind how I might hem these beautiful chifon duster without
    ruining it and it was exactly what you formulated and showed me how to do in an easy peasy way. Thanks so much! I don't sew much but going to subscribe because you really helped me. :^D p

    THANK YOU FOR THIS! I have tried this type of hem on several different dresses and several different ways. I have tried those rolled hem pressor feet, and other ways. It always took so long, and never just looked professional, or even. I tried this on a friends bridesmaids dress just now and was able to get it done and return it back to her as she left work. It was so simple and quick, I couldn't even believe it! I will be using this technique every time now! THANK YOU FOR SHARING!

    This was so incredibly useful! I've watched a dozen videos, bought a rolled hem foot and all.. Started with the lining but it didn't end up looking great (I'm a beginner). I was so nervous to tackle the thin and shifty chiffon layer and then I stumbled on your video. My hem didn't come out perfect at all, but so much better than the lining! Thank you so so much.

      The best tip is to measure, mark and stitch first before you trim off the excess fabric. It’s so much easier that way.
      This dress was one of 3 bridesmaid dresses that I altered recently. The hems totalled almost 30 metres of fabric! 😩
      Hope yours goes well 🤞

    Givving this a try. Thankfully, there are 3 layers, I hope I am proficient by the time I get to the outter layer! Thanks for the technique, I would never thought to keep excess un til first stitching is done.

    Oh my goodness!!!! I hem A LOT of these and this should work perfectly. The problem with even just stitching one time, trimming, then rolling is the material stretches or frays and it is too easy to make an uneven or wonky hem. Hope this works when only hemming the front of a dress that angles to the sides, therefore creating a bias section.

    • @HouseofMissSew
      @HouseofMissSew  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I’ve not tried only hemming one side but hopefully the method will work for you 🤞 I find it’s so much easier than trimming first and have had no issues with hems stretching out of shape (which would happen if I did a normal rolled hem approach!) ☺️

    I’ve got to do this to my wedding dress which is identical to the one you are altering only white. I’m going to have a little less to take off but I need as much as possible because I’m going to make a tiered short sleeve with the off cut.

I have sewn dresses before (long time ago with patterns and watching sewers since I was a kid) but fixing dresses with these materials have never been an easy thing to do and I had a dress I never fixed because I was afraid of damaging the dress 👗. Well , I started with a dress I’m planing to wear tomorrow and thanks to you I did it! 😃 I’m ready to tackle the other dress ☺️ Thanks again for sharing this for free. 🙃

    I feel like I could do this!! Have a bridesmaid dress I need to hem and have a tight budget! I do some sewing, but never a hem before! Are you marking and sewing on the outside or inside of the dress?

    • @HouseofMissSew
      @HouseofMissSew  2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      You can do this! Just take your time, measure and cut carefully. 😊
      I’m marking onto the right side of the fabric, then folding along that line so the wrong sides come together, then I stitch on the right side. Once the fabric is trimmed I fold the fabric and sew from the wrong side to make sure I’m stitching along the edge of the fold correctly.
      Good luck 🤞

    Can't wait to try this as I am beginner to all of this. Do you have any tutorials on shortening shoulders on formal chiffon dress?

    • @HouseofMissSew
      @HouseofMissSew  ปีที่แล้ว

      I’m sorry, I don’t have any shoulder shortening videos. Depending on the style you can unpick the previous seam and re sew this at the correct position. Depending on the layers it can be a little tricky.
      For a quick fix just stitch the seam where you need it to be (without any unpicking) and then sew the part of the strap that is excess along the sides to hold it in place. I did this for my own bridesmaid when I had only a few hours left before the wedding to fit the dress correctly!

    Thank you so much for this video, you just saved my life! I have been recovering from an injury and I haven’t had money or time to get anything done for my brother’s wedding. Not cutting the hem is genius, and definitely easier for someone like me who hasn’t sewn in a while. I’m curious if it’ll still work okay if I don’t have an iron? I’d get one if I could afford the extra spending, but funds are low from being on medical leave.

      I think you’ll probably be snoring to get away with not ironing it. Maybe a neighbour / friend could lend you one for a few hours to make it a bit easier. 🤞

  • @KJ-wu4lg
    @KJ-wu4lg ปีที่แล้ว +2

    thank you for this lovely tutorial!! two quick questions from a newbie sewist:
    1. what is "right side" and "wrong side"? is right side the outside of the garment and wrong side the inside?
    2. how do you "back tack" at the end? my machine only pulls the fabric one way (brother SE600 I think) and I don't want to break a needle by attempting to get it to move backwards without any guidance first haha

    • @HouseofMissSew
      @HouseofMissSew  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you for your feedback ☺️
      You’re correct, the ‘right side’ is the outside of the garment and ‘wrong side’ is inside the garment.
      Back tacking is to take a few stitches back and forth to secure the stitching at the start and end of sewing. Your machine may have a button to press to secure stitching.
      Hope that helps 😊

    Thank you so much for your excellent tutorial. I sew a lot but have almost zero experience of chiffon and agreed to take up a prom dress 🤪so really needed to watch your video. I had already purchased a rolled hem foot thinking I needed that but it looks like you did it with a standard foot? Do you have any views on a rolled hem foot (like/dislike) or do you just think it’s not necessary? Really appreciate your thoughts, thank you!!

    • @HouseofMissSew
      @HouseofMissSew  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thank you for such wonderful feedback! A standard foot is best for this method. I’ve hemmed chiffon with a rolled hemming foot but it can be more fiddly and depending on your experience of using the foot and working with chiffon it can end up creating a wavy or stretched out hem. For slippery fabrics, particular those on the bias I find a standard foot easier.
      I’ve made 2 other videos on how to do a rolled hem with the rolled hemming foot and one using a different method and a standard foot. Let me know if you need more help ☺️
