What are hems? How can they affect a garment's appearance?

Hi readers, today I am writing about hems. What is a hem? Well a hem is the edge of a piece of clothing or cloth that has been turned under and sewn. A hem allows the edge look neat. There are many different styles of hems. There are even hems that do not require sewing, instead you use iron-on materials, netting, plastic clips. Hems prevent clothes from unraveling. It is very important to have hems because it makes the garment neat and professional, so that costumers can buy them. In my fashion class, I learned how to do three types of hand sewing hems. Herring bone, invisible stitch, and whip stitch hem. To do hems, it takes time and effort to make them right and neat. When finished with a hem you need to press it for the neat look.
                                                                                That is all for today, thank you for reading bye.
