Tutorial: Hem a circle skirt with bias tape

Circle skirts are quick and easy sew – until you get to the hem. Trying to turn a curved edge up in a smooth line is difficult, a double fold hem nearly impossible. Luckily, there’s an easier way. Lisa from Cucicucicoo shows an easy way to hem a circle skirt using bias tape. The bias tape will stretch to hug the curve of the hem and give you smooth lines. Plus, if you use a contrasting color it will be a fun unexpected detail!
