Claire Cardigan Sew Along Day 4
Day 1 Choose your fabric CLICK HERE
Day 2 Cut your fabric CLICK HERE
Day 4 Hem
Day 5 Share a pic to WIN a prize!!
Today is the easy day!! All we are going to do is hem.
1. Hem your side slits. To do this I simply turn under a 3/8 inch hem, which is the same width as the seam allowance. Press with an iron and pin.
Sew around your side slits using a 3/8 inch seam allowance, making sure you box out the top instead of making it into a v.
2. Hem the front edge and neckline of the cardigan by folding under a 3/8 inch hem. Pin and sew all the way around to secure. Press with an iron.
3. Try on the cardigan and mark the hem you desire. Hem the lower edge of the cardigan by
folding under a 3/8 inch hem (or up to the hem line you just marked). Pin and sew all
the way around to secure.
You did it!! You finished your Claire Cardigan and I hope you had fun sewing it and absolutely LOVE wearing it even more!!
