Hemming Your Tunic

In this section you will finish the bottom of your tunic. For the blue tunic I designed it so the selvedge was at the hem meaning it is already finished off. If you have a selvedge for your hem you might choose to leave it as is. If you have a fuzzy selvedge or a raw edge at the bottom you will want to hem it. The pink and white striped top is hemmed with a 1/8” (3mm) hem.

I would suggest hemming the bottom 1/8'“ (3 mm) to 1/4” (6-7mm).

Once you have finished the bottom of your tunic you are done! Congratulations! I hope you loved sewing this piece and you love wearing it! Now you have made one you can make more!
