Kathleen from The TumtumTree and Grosgrain shares a video tutorial showing how to make a blind hem. A blind hem is barely noticeable from the front of the fabric and is often used to hem trousers or skirts. The secret to this seemingly magic hem is the way that the fabric is folded. Watch the video and see how it’s done.

You know that feeling when you find a sewing project that’s equal parts adorable, festive, and easy to whip up? That’s exactly what I got when I stumbled upon the Carrot Treat Bag Free Pattern from Connecting Threads.
This little carrot-shaped pouch is just as cute as it sounds — a perfect blend of spring charm and handmade goodness. Whether you’re prepping for Easter baskets, spring parties, or just love whimsical sewing projects, this one’s a winner.
The pattern is totally free (yes, FREE!), and the instructions are super clear, even for beginner sewists. You’ll just need some orange and green fabric — think quilting cotton or anything with a bit of structure — and a drawstring or ribbon for the top.
The bag has a clever cone shape that mimics a real carrot, and the green “top” cinches closed with a drawstring, giving it that leafy, garden-fresh look. It’s not huge — perfect for a handful of treats, a gift card, or even small toys — but it’s exactly the right size for party favors or basket stuffers.
can you help me to show me a blind rolling hem for scarfs? Best regards,Ruth.
