In this video, I show how to draft a hem facing. A hem facing is an alternative finish to the traditional fold and stitch. Hem facings are especially useful when sewing a curved hem or a hem with a special shape like scallops. I show how to draft the hem facing using a printed pattern and how to do it digitally in Adobe Illustrator.
