Hem Sewing
I need to know how to sew a hem for a scarf?
I found a beautiful piece of fabric that I want to just sew a hem around the edges on. I have no idea how to sew and do not own a sewing machine so hand sewing is my only option. The fabric is really thin guaze like material. What sort of stitch would I use for this?
The stitch you probably want is called hand rolled hem. Here’s how — go down to “simplified rolled hem”

It’s a bit tedious, but find a good movie and curl up in a comfy chair and it’ll be done in no time.
