Would this work basically the same way if you're hemming a shirt? I'm modifying a T-shirt into a croptop for my X-23 cosplay. So, would I just cut off the fabric to a certain point and use the same technique?

Thank you so much for this! :3 will definately be using it for my cosplays......
Minus the interfacing and the machine sewing. I have two dresses to do, and Im hand sewing everything since I still cant figure out how to thread up the bottom of my machine.
Would you use interfacing on a cloak? -.^ Im relatively new to costuming, and mostly self taught.

Sorry to write so late! But yes you can use interfacing on the bottom of a cloak to keep it semi straight. But I would leave it from the top since it won't drape properly. With the sewing machine make sure the bobbin is threaded correctly because that is one issue that a lot of people have with their sewing machines.

Even though I already know how to sew, this is a marvelous tutorial for everyone! FAVS. I don't use interfacing, but now I think I will because it is nicer and more tailored looking

Very nice! I've never used interfacing before, because I'm self taught (for only about a year now, so I'm relatively new) and I really need to read up more on the purpose of interfacing.
Nice tutorial!

That is awesome that your teaching your self how to sew! That is a good idea for another tutorial "Interfacing uses and why you need it"

Ah, cool, interfacing in the hem! You come up with so many unique uses for interfacing!
However, would you want to use interfacing in the hem of a skirt? I'd think it wouldn't fall quite right, and would lose its swooshy-ness. Which is a very important factor in a skirt, don'tchaknow.
But I can see interfacing working really well in the hem of pants or shirts!

If you do a pencil skirt it works wonders to keep the whole look very tailored. But your right I wouldn't recommend it for circle skirts or skirts made from jersey. Anyways thanks for looking at my tutorial

I'm always butchering hems when I just pin them and sew. I shall try this if ever I find some interfacing!
