If the covid-19 pandemic taught us anything, it is the power of community. As many of us were forced to stay at home for the first time in living memory, communities up and down the country rallied to look out for one another, find alternate ways to build social connections, and create a sense of shared experience. Many also used the time to discover new hobbies, such as baking, painting, and crafting. In doing so, new hobbyists discovered that craft clubs are a fantastic way to learn new skills and build connections with their local communities.

Hems are the little pieces of fabric that go around the bottom of a skirt or dress. They can be made from different materials, but the most common material is cotton. Hems are used to finish off a garment at the bottom and to add a decorative touch. They can be sewn onto the skirt or dress, or they can be attached with a special hemming tool. There are many types of hemming tools, including hand-held ones, which are very simple to use, and machine-driven ones, which are more complex to use. This post will show you how to hem a dress using a sewing machine.
