Sewing advice please!
I am making a pettiskirt with the outer layer out of cotton, and I didn't hem the bottom tier. It didn't even occur to me at the time, but now I can see the bottom of the skirt is starting to fray. I really don't want to go back and try and hem it because of where the ruffle is sewn, I think it would be very hard/I would mess up a lot. Does anyone have suggestions of what to do? I was thinking of going back and cutting it with pinking shears, and then maybe fray check it. Do you think that would work? I don't have a serger but I have heard that zigzagging off the edge of fabrics can make a similar effect. What do you think?
Re: Sewing advice please!
I would probably trim it even, zig-zag it and add fray-check.
Maybe someone else has a better idea. GL
