Mitring a Hem

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.
