Fixing the hem of a skirt is a beginner friendly repair, eliminating the cost of a seamstress or saving a garment that would otherwise be trashed. You can shorten or even out the skirt in the process as well. This task will take approximately 30-60 minutes, depending on the type of skirt.
Be sure to inspect the hem of your skirt before beginning. Is it straight across or curved? This can help ensure that you do not change the skirt design while fixing the hem.
Step 2 may require the use of a seam ripper. Make sure not to rip the actual garment. This may require making the skirt shorter than desired to eliminate the rip.
Some required skills include how to do a backstitch and how to use a seam ripper.
Gather all your materials before beginning. Be sure to select a thread color that matches your skirt for a more seamless finish.
