Hem time for the Banksia blouse! This a nice quick one for today, shall we get to it?
NOTE: the instruction booklet has you do a 1/4″ turn up and hem, but I did a 1/2″ here for personal preference.
Fold under 1/2″ and press, then fold under 1/2″ again and press.
Head over to the sewing machine and topstitch.
Do the same for the sleeves.
And that’s it! Easy peasy, right?
