MONEY MATTERS WITH SHEILA--NO-SEW HEMMING


Are you one of those “all thumbs” women when it comes to any type of sewing? Do you spend too much money at the dry cleaner whenever a hem falls because you can’t thread a needle, let alone hem a skirt or a pant leg?

You can repair a fallen hem yourself, and you don’t have to hunt for a needle and thread to do it. Just purchase a roll of fusible web tape (available at all fabric stores and most discount and craft stores.) Cut a piece of web the length of the area that needs to be repaired. Slip it between the fabric layers and iron according to the package directions.
