Just thought I'd share how I put rickrack on a hem. It can be a cute touch to a skirt, dress or pants. I just finished up M's little skirt today (see previous post) and thought it would be a cute finish. :)
First take your rickrack and pin it to the right side of your fabric close to the edge.
Sew it down through the middle.
Now turn over fabric and turn under the edge a bit.
Then under again as you do for any other hem. Check the front side to see if it is looking as you want..I like for my dips to just peek out.
Sew down along the top of the hem fold...NOT in the middle of the rick rack like before.
And you're done! Hemmed and trimmed in one step!
