Jump to the previous post in the hack along: Rowan Sweater Hack Along PT8 - Sleeves & Side seams.
We’re on the home stretch now! Maybe you’ve already finished the bottom of your sweater or dress with a Doris skirt bottom band, by following the fun tutorial Kim wrote! But for most of you, today is all about hemming the sleeves and bottom! Let’s go!
Turn your sweater with the inside out. Finish all the raw edge of the sleeve and bottom hem with a serger or a big zigzag stitch. Fold the sleeve and bottom hem up towards the inside by 2,5cm (1”). Pin in place.
If you followed our hack tutorial exactly, make sure that the bottom of the pocket of the sweater version is caught between the bottom hem. Topstitch the hem 2cm (3/4”) from the folded edge with a knit stitch, a small zigzag stitch or a twin needle.
And now - HAPPY DANCE!! You’ve did it! Now, kindly ask your kids (bribe them if needed) to model your makes and please share your hacked Rowan sweater or dress in our FB group! Or tag us on instagram with #rowanhack! I’d love to see what you’ve come up with!
Thank you so much for joining our Rowan Sweater Hack Along! I hope you’ve enjoyed it! I’m looking forward to doing more of these in the future. Please leave me a comment below and tell me what project/pattern you’d like to see next in a Sew Along or Hack Along!
Happy sewing!
