Tutorial, part 9 - Hem

If the optional fitting darts are desired, sew them where indicated on the printed pattern. 

Press underside of darts toward center. 


NOTE: This entire step is optional; being constructed of a knit fabric, the shirt actually doesn't require hemming for garment longevity, so this is purely aesthetic. As of the writing of this tutorial, we're not sure if the screen-used VOY undershirts were typically hemmed or not, but we think it looks nice! 


Turn the bottom of the shirt under ½", then ½" again. 

From the wrong side, stitch through all layers, close to the edge of the hem.
