Is there anything more frustrating than a hem that flips up after it’s been washed and dried? Of course, I realize the answer to that question would be “yes”…but, a hem that won’t behave is still pretty annoying. I tried something a few days ago on one of these flippy hems and lo and behold it worked! I know those individuals, like myself, who are morally opposed to ironing will love this little tip.
After I took the offending piece of clothing (a dress in this case) out of the dryer, I immediately hung it up, flattened out the hem and clipped a couple of clothes pins to it. I left the pins on for about an hour and voila...flat hem! Apparently the weight of the pins and the pressure that they put on the material kept the hem straight. Who knew?
