Sewing is often a slow process. It is so easy to let your imagination wander when you are choosing a design for your new dress, or fabric and a pattern to use in your next project.

I’m at Joann Fabric looking at the new pattern catalogs - Vogue, McCalls, Simplicity. So many interesting new patterns! I love them all, really. But I know not all of them will be suitable for my body type, which is far from a model’s. I am petite (so I guess one third of these patterns go right out the window), my top is one size smaller than my bottom (so I need both sizes included in the envelope, which doesn't always happen), and I really need dresses that hide a belly bulge (how did that happen to me? I didn’t have a tummy when I was younger!). So, the question is: how to choose a pattern that will fit your body? And not only fit, but also hide your flaws. Do you have the same problems?

There are many different ways to sew a curved hem. It depends  on the fabric you use for the project (for example, for chiffon it will not be the same as for denim)  on the type of the curved edge ( if it is a full curve like a circle skirt, or just a slight curve)  on the types of sewing machines and their accessories you have ( do you have a serger? a coverstitch machine? a blind stitch foot? etc.)  on the design you have in mind ( do you want a narrow hem? a standard hem? a decorated hem?)  and on your sewing experience also (if you are a beginner sewist you probably shouldn’t use all those specific presser feet available now) But no matter what fabric or design you use you have to finish the hem beautifully. A well finished hem is a very important sewing operation and adds a professional touch to any garment. Choose one of the techniques below that best suits you.
