-
-
Turn your shirt inside out.
-
Find your shirt's ripped hem.
-
If the shirt has any loose strings, trim them.
-
-
-
Iron the area of the shirt where the hem is ripped.
-
If the hem is ripped several inches, you might want to insert sewing pins to keep the fabric in place.
-
-
-
Acquire a sewing needle and thread.
-
Take your thread and loop it through the eye of the needle, the hole at the end of the needle.
-
-
-
Pull the thread through the needle so that there is an equal length on each side of the needle.
-
Tie the end of the thread together by making a knot.
-
-
-
-
Starting on the inside of the shirt, poke the needle through toward the side that is right-side-out.
-
-
-
Once the needle and thread is pulled through the side that is right-side-out, you will push it back through as close to the original hole as you can.
-
-
-
When you're back on the inside of the hem, make the next stitch a couple millimeters over and diagonal from the first.
-
-
-
Continue this pattern so that the inside has diagonal stitches, and the outside has small, staggered dots.
-
-
-
Finish sewing the hem. Make sure the last stitch is on the inside of the shirt.
-
Make a knot where you intend for the pattern to stop.
-
It's important to tie the knot as close to the fabric as possible. Doing this secures the stitching.
