Day 6:

Today is our last sewing day! We just have to hem. You can also use today to topstitch your ruffle, if you’d like. We have some helpful tips on hemming and topstitching over here.

Want to make coordinating hair accessories? My daughter still loves to wear bows and headbands, so I usually save a little bit of scrap fabric to make something that matches. We have lots of cute and simple bow/hair patterns here:

• Sydney Sailor Bow
• Fabric Bow
• Hadley Hand Tied Bow 
• Knotted Hair Bow 
• Scarf + Bow Scrunchies
• Scrunchies in 3 Sizes
• Super Scrunchie
• Knit Headband 
• Hippie Headband
• Trixie Top Knot Headband 
• Ruffle Scrunchies 

Don’t forget:

• Hem allowance is 1/2″
• You can use wash away hem tape if you are struggling with getting a consistent hem

Want to sew along with me? Check out today’s video!

If you have questions about hemming, you are always welcome to post in our SAL group so we can help you! Be sure to check in each day during the SAL, and look for daily posts to enter our giveaways. We can’t wait to see what you create this week!
