Below are a few more ways to do the job of making a very professional-looking hem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-so-sew-easy wp-block-embed-so-sew-easy\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"S78COeZisO\"><a href=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/hem-sheer-or-lightweight-fabrics\/\">How to Hem Sheer or Lightweight Fabrics<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content lazyload\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;How to Hem Sheer or Lightweight Fabrics&#8221; &#8212; So Sew Easy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/hem-sheer-or-lightweight-fabrics\/embed\/#?secret=g2Lp3bErde#?secret=S78COeZisO\" data-secret=\"S78COeZisO\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And that's all. I hope you will appreciate this design for being so simple and easy because it is projects like this that can really help you show your creativity. Since the techniques are time-tested and simple, you can start modifying and tailoring the design to your own personal tastes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do love this perfect jeans blouse, do not get me wrong, but I think for the next blouse I will add a bit more gathers at the back, front, and sleeves, making it a bit wider since the fabric skims the body. As it is not very loose-fitting, nor is it tight. Hence it is perfect for an hourglass figure; if you are an inverted triangle, you need to add space for your hips. If you have a large chest but small shoulders, you will need to add more gathers at the back and front to accommodate your larger chest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let me know in the comments below how you find this pattern. Would you make the blouse in another fabric? or would you like me to grade the blouse to accommodate larger sizes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Until Next Time, and while we keep the world together one stitch at a time, Happy Sewing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<h2>If You'd Like To Support Our Site<\/h2>\r\nIf you want to help us continue to bring you a wide selection of <a href=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/free-sewing-patterns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">free sewing patterns<\/a> and projects, please consider buying us a coffee.\u00a0 We'd really, really appreciate it.\r\n\r\n<center><div class=\"ko-fi-button\" data-text=\"Buy me a coffee!\" data-color=\"#ff5f5f\" data-code=\"\" id=\"kofiShortcode487Html\" style=\"float: none; text-align: left;\"><\/div><\/center>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is my perfect jeans blouse, made in silk crape, elastic sleeves, slit collar, and hi-low hem.
