Any handy tips on hemming out there?

I don't have any of those funky gadgets that help when you're trying to do it solo.

Its a frustrating process of trying on the frock, working out where it needs to come up, taking it off, hanging it up and trimming, trying it on again.   Its excruciating I tell you.

This pic was taking on 2nd attempt where I thought it wasnt too bad so overlocked it.   Yeah.  No. 

Visit me here and share your wisdom, or leave a note here at sew retro.

and, not to pressure you or anything.   But I have today and Thursday to do this, as the party is on friday.
