Shortening a Hem The Quick Easy 1960s Guide
A 1960s style tip explains how to resize a straight or circular skirt by a measured hem lift. Choose the target length, compute inches to remove, press folds with an iron, and stitch along the crease without pinning. No basting needed for this simple alteration.
How to Hem a Skirt for Proper Fit
The guide advises folding excess fabric between seams for smoothness and trimming if the hem is over 1.5 inches. When hemming, stitch every three to four stitches for a secure edge. Wear the shoes and girdle you plan to use to gauge accurate skirt length and fit.
