Mitring a Hem
This is a neat way of finishing a corner and is less bulky, especially on heavier fabrics:
• Fold up a single or a double hem, mark with a pin where the top fold will come, and press.
• Fold in the side hem, mark with a pin where the inside fold will come, and press.
• Open out the hems.
• Fold in the corner triangle to the pins.
• Turn up a single or a double hem at the lower edge.
• Turn in the side hem.
• Slipstitch across the corner.
