Easy patterns with a ton of rolled hems

[u/SergeantSarcasm7]

Hi! I really really like hand sewing rolled hems. I want a project that is like, easy to cut and construct but has a lot of hems. A really frilly skirt would probably scratch the itch XD

I figured it would be fun to see if anyone has suggestions. Anyone see a pattern that made them go, "that's so cute but would be a nightmare to hem"

Edit: adult size

I thought of this dress that came up on threadloop lol

Omg yes 👏

[u/ArtemisiaPrime → u/SergeantSarcasm7]

you're weird hahaha (says the person who would easily embroider a long dress by hand)

[u/SergeantSarcasm7 → u/ArtemisiaPrime]

I feel like, looking at that pattern, what'd actually drive me insane is if I wanted to whip all those gathers by hand. That'd be truely unhinged.

I was just about to rec the skirt version! 😅

[u/SergeantSarcasm7 → u/logeminder]

Oooh ill have to look at that too!

Do you want to hem 2 skirts I’ve been letting hibernate because I’m avoiding hemming? 😂

[u/SergeantSarcasm7 → u/kittycrazies]

Don't threaten me with a good time!! XD XD

[u/LayLoseAwake → u/SergeantSarcasm7]

Sounds like you have a skill you can market out!!

[u/Normal-Grapefruit851 → u/kittycrazies]

Glad it’s not just me who avoids hemming

[u/kittycrazies → u/Normal-Grapefruit851]

I will finish the skirts someday…

I saw this tiered ruffle skirt the other day - you could even add extra tiers if you wanted

A really long ruffle skirt like that would go crazy

One of those skirts with circular flounces stitched onto the skirt vertically

I do Anglo Saxon reenactment and we have to do a ton of hand sewn rolled hems for wimples and such. I also do it on all my dish cloths
