    Golly gee! I had several lettuce hem shirts as a child back in the late 90's-early 00's and haven't seem them in more than a decade.
    Who knew they would be back in style and not for toddlers?

    Just a tip : when you want to move or take out pieces of any system such as your sewing machine, take a picture of it before changing anything ! That way you can always refer to the photo to put everything back in place afterwards. :)

  • @breannaroy7256
    @breannaroy7256 7 років тому +208

    would these techniques work on socks? i imagine it would be pretty similar to a sleeve, and i think it would be fun to have a lettuce hem on some crew socks !

    • @djunaskye6220
      @djunaskye6220 7 років тому +20

      breanna :P lettuce hem socks sounds really cool! it would probably work.

    • @danceypants93
      @danceypants93 7 років тому +43

      They might end up falling down a lot because you've removed the elasticated top to keep the socks up properly. If you put a fine elastic at the top underneath the lettuce hem it could work though.

    • @simplycloe8617
      @simplycloe8617 7 років тому +4

    This brought back memories of my favorite shirt in second grade, which was a light purple turtleneck with lettuce hem at the neck and sleeves. I would wear it tucked into my jeans with a clear plastic belt with flowers on it. I was stylin'. I just saw in the comments that everyone had lettuce hemmed shirts in the 90's which is when I was in second grade, so I guess I was trendy for once in my life!

  • @baidykle1
    @baidykle1 3 роки тому +2

    Thank you for teaching this :) I upcycled an old t-shirt using this hem, and will do more. One thing I noticed, that if you want to use contrasting thread with zig zag stitch or just in general zig zag instead of overlock, then stretching the material but not rushing it, instead feeding it slowly through makes the zig zag stitches look more full/dense. Might be useful for someone :)

    @MabruBlack 7 років тому

    I did it on a pajama set I'm sewing (with a few adjustments, for example I didn't fold the edge) and it looks super cute!!! I'm so happy that you included the sewing machine method since I don't own a serger and my sewing machine is just a singer tradition without have any fancy stitches. It's such an easy and cute way to finish a garment 😊 Thank you so much!!!

Looking to get going with some of them once I'm less frazzled with uni essays! Keep up the great work!

    That is really cool. I’m going ‘feminise’ my husband’s unwanted T-shirt for myself today. I’ve already shaped in the sides as well because I want to keep the length. I’m going to use my Bernina sewing machine. Thank you💕💕

    You always show me such interesting trends that I would never know existed!! Like you said it's sewing blasphemy to get a lettuce hem!!

    You can do the same thing as the sewing machine technique and enclose fishing line under your zig-zag stitch to create dramatic ruffles! Not great for necklines but at the bottom of a skirt it can create something cool

    I wanted to know how to make a raw edge on knit fabrics and of course I find part of the answer on this channel, time to go do my own experiments. :)

    I remember once I was hemming a stretchy dress and I accidentally made a lettuce hem because I hadn't set up my machine correctly and/or I didn't know all the tecniques for sewing stretchy fabric, haha.
