HS101: Mock rolled hem by hand

Supplies

Needle (size 10 crewel needle)
thread to match fabric this is a regular weight 100% cotton sewing thread
fabric

How to:

Clean up edge by trimming off all ravels
turn the raw edge to the wrong side (1/8 inch) (actual hem will be about 1/2 of this width that was pressed)

press well

Attach thread into the fabric fold (securing it well ie a knot)
Make tiny stitch into the garment just below the raw edge. Go straight up and go into the fold travel for about 1/4 of an inch. * repeat this up and down motion in stitching. You should have a series of parallel lines (threads) see photo

when you have made several of these make sure needle is in the fold in the top and pull the thread to close the opening. This will form a tiny rolled hem.
