Video tutorial: Hem a lined sleeve with a clean finish

Jenn from A Jennuine Life shows how you can get a clean finish on a hemmed lined sleeve. The edges are all turned in and finished with no need to topstitch or match folded edges. It’s a video tutorial because this is one of those techniques that makes so much sense when you see it done, but it’s hard to explain with words alone. She uses this technique on her soon to be released Calla Lily Crop Top pattern. This works for sleeveless tops and dresses as well.
