- A lettuce hem is the perfect, frilly, girly touch to add to clothes that use a stretch fabric. Not only is it pretty, but it is EXTREMELY simple to make. This tutorial is VERY beginner friendly as I share the 5 simple tips for creating a lettuce hem. It is my favourite way to hem knit fabrics and looked so cute on Alice's 1st birthday dress.
Let's get making!

ABOUT THIS CHANNEL:
Welcome to My Mum Makes! I’ve started this channel as a creative outlet to share my sewing projects online. I’ve loved to sew since my Mum taught me as a little girl and I find it relaxing, productive and fun. I love the chance to make things for my kids, myself and our home and I want you to feel motivated to give sewing a try and get creative. I think creativity is good for us especially as Mums. We can get so stuck in our everyday repetition, but spending some me-time creating something is a great way to unwind, prioritise our needs and use our brains in a different way to the everyday. Don’t forget to follow me on Instagram @mymummakes.marie to see more of what I’m up to.

* What sewing machine do you use? Janome DC2150 - would definitely recommend Janome, can’t go wrong.

I laughed so hard at the inch thing 🤣 I'm American and I say the same thing 🤣 thank you for your detailed step by step ive been trying to figure this out for a few weeks every since u saw it!
No worries!! And I'm glad you like my sense of humour hehe
Crosswise versus lengthwise stretchability
Oh I’m so glad I found you! An Aussie mum breaking it down so it’s simple & easy to follow. I’m planning on making some rompers for my little girl and really want to jazz up the sleeves with a lettuce hem. Thanks so much for this video, have definitely subscribed 👍🏻
Oh I'm so glad to get this comment! How nice! I'm glad it was a helpful video for you.
A lettuce hem would look very cute on a girly romper 😍 you might need to put a row of elastic around the leg and arm holes a few cm in from the lettuce hem so it isn't too open and will be tighter if that makes sense
It really feels like making love to the fabric. I hope I can get my waves more consistent now after watching your video. I did try on a serger first but going to try my machine
Good luck with it, I hope the tips help you
Great video. You make it look so easy!!
I have lots of scraps of cotton Lycra I’m going to practice on. It looks very very cute.
Thank you
It takes a bit to get used to how to pull the tension on the fabric and still feed it under the foot, but it's not too difficult. Certainly a good idea to have some practices first.
Very helpful, thank you 🙏🏼 subscribed!
Excellent, thanks for subscribing!!
I'd love to hear what you plan on sewing a lettuce hem on 💕
Shortening retail pajama bottoms which were initially hemmed with the lettuce hem.
Sounds great! I'm sure if there was already a lettuce hem then the fabric will be a good one to use for it. Hope it works out for you
Probs a silly question but i am a nooby... lol
What presser foot is best to use for this? Im a beginner and realy trying to do this lettuce hem however my stitches are half on/ half off the fabric lol.. what am i doing wrong :(
No question is silly! I use my standard presser foot, nothing special. You could try moving your fabric over a bit so more of the stitch is going onto the fabric. It can be a bit fiddly at first to get used to how to stretch and feed the fabric in

Wow you reply prompt!
Thank you i will try this :)
And thank you for all your videos! youv helped me alot 😀
@@tessh2744 my pleasure! I've got a bit of down time now so able to catch up a bit so it was good timing for me. I'm glad you enjoy my videos! Thanks for commenting
How can I do this on a bullet knit fabric? I’m pulling it but it won’t roll haha.
That's ok if it doesn't roll. You can just fold the edge up once as if you were hemming it normally and run your zig zag along the fold. Have a go and get me know if it isn't working still and we'll try to work it out together
@@MyMumMakes Will do! Thank you so much! I tried doing it with my serger, but that didn’t go very well either haha. The sewing machine was easier. I’ll give that a go, thank you!
@@Krossthreds no worries. Good luck!
Thank you for this tutorial, I was always wondering why mine never looked as nice as in the picture. Sewing from the back so I could zigzag over the rolled hem makes all the difference 👍👌
Excellent! I'm glad to hear this was helpful
Metric all the way! Haha
Haha for sure!
