  • Try on the skirt and straighten the skirt hem edge.
  • Apply a seam finish such as zigzagging or serging the fabric edge. Many manufactured skirts have nothing more than a seam finish for the hem edge.
  • Optional: Turn the hem edge to the inside if desired and press well. Sew two rows of straight stitching to match the seam stitching
  • Press the skirt well and wear with pride!
