Hemming Emergency

[Teej]

BS no one cares about aside, some good **** happened and I now find myself pulling an all-nighter trying to have my entire unit garbbed in our uniform tomorrow.

Any hemming advice beyond fold and sew? Cause that's my current plan as soon as I finish my legal exam... and only plan until 11am.

Hem tape buddy. Comes in Peel & Stick (for temp fixes) and Iron On (more permanent).

Rock it and post pics.

EDIT: Stitch witch and other hem/fabric glues also work well for emergencies, but take time to dry.

Thanks! You and BadAss Garb (via Facebook) helped a ton!

Second the hem tape. You might also see it as "Steam-a-Seam".

Good luck!

I won't be ashamed to admit, for a buddy who decided to come to Samhain last minute, last year, I used black hockey tape on all the hems to give it a crenellated trim. You couldn't tell until you got right up on it, and it held amazingly well.

Only reason I used the hockey tape instead of steam-a-seam is because I had it on hand and no spare cash to run out and buy the hem tape.

But don't be that guy, go with the hem tape.

* the tape. Iron that beast and stick it down with a few pins if necessary. That's how I remain looking good anyhow.

Double fold quilted bias tape. Put over the end of your fabric and sew.

* right.

Ended up going with Stitch Witchery on the sides, and sewing the rough contact areas... ie: bottom of pants.

Thanks a ton everyone.
