What is a hem?
A hem is a finished edge on a piece of fabric that is folded over and sewn down to prevent fraying. It is commonly found at the bottom of garments like pants, skirts, and dresses, as well as on sleeves and other openings. Hems can be sewn by hand or by using a sewing machine, and they come in different styles such as blind hems, rolled hems, and topstitched hems.
-
How do you sew a hem?
To sew a hem, start by folding the edge of the fabric over to the desired hem width and press it with an iron to create a crease. Then, fold the raw edge under and press it again. Next, stitch along the folded edge using a straight stitch or a blind hem stitch. Finally, trim any excess fabric and press the hem one final time to ensure it lays flat.
-
What is rolling the sweater hem?
Rolling the sweater hem refers to the natural tendency of the bottom edge of a knit sweater to curl up or roll inwards. This can happen due to the tension of the knit fabric and the way it naturally wants to lay. Rolling the hem can also refer to intentionally folding or rolling the hem of a sweater to create a different look or style. This can be done to adjust the length of the sweater or to create a more casual, relaxed appearance.

What does hem width mean for a skirt?
Hem width refers to the measurement of the circumference of the bottom edge of a skirt. It determines how wide or narrow the hemline of the skirt is. A wider hem width can create a fuller, more voluminous silhouette, while a narrower hem width can result in a sleeker, more streamlined look. The hem width can also affect the overall drape and movement of the skirt when worn.

Evaluation of the Built Environment for Sustainability
Sustainability in the built environment is a major issue facing policy-makers, planners, developers and designers in the UK, Europe and worldwide.The measuring of buildings and cities for sustainability becomes increasingly important as pressure for green, sustainable development translates into policy and legislation.The problems of such measurement and evaluation are presented by the authors in contributions which move from the general to the particular, e.g. from a general framework for an environmentally sustainable form of urban development to a specific input-output model application to environmental problems.The book is divided into three parts: the first covers city models and sustainable systems - research programmes, environmental policies, green corporations and collaborative strategies to make urban development more sustainable; part two discusses the problems of evaluating the built environment in planning and construction, covering economic and environmental methods and construction, development and regeneration processes; part three illustrates a number of applications using different approaches and techniques and referring to a range of environmental aspects of the natural and built environment, from maintaining historic buildings to transport management and air pollution monitoring.

An Introduction to Environment, Society and Sustainability
This timely and innovative book delves into the complex interplay of human activities and natural limits in generating today’s sustainability challenges.By contrasting the pressures of growing populations with ecological footprints associated with consumption, the volume navigates the contested terrain where human societies generate environmental impacts. Adorned with illustrative figures, examples and case studies throughout, this book presents insightful analysis of ecological, economic, technological, and social justice responses to the challenges faced by human civilization, including land degradation, climate change, pollution, and overexploitation of natural resources.Many of these issues are wicked problems, characterized by incomplete information, multiple stakeholders, and contested approaches to addressing them.In simple terms, sustainability issues are an interplay between population growth and rising consumption, which are placing impossible demands on finite resources.Potential solutions to the crisis are split between green growth approaches that emphasize technology and institutional capacity to guide economic growth in more sustainable ways, and degrowth approaches that call for a fundamental rethinking of the way we structure society and generate value.This book emerged from a student seminar where undergraduate and graduate students highlighted sustainability topics of concern, helped consider their framing, and then assisted with co-writing several of the chapters.The volume encourages readers to consider structural questions that underpin sustainability dilemmas, and begins with four theoretical frameworks for understanding sustainability issues: ideas from the natural sciences, the population/consumption debate, economic frameworks, and ethical approaches.It then uses a systems approach to apply these theoretical ideas to complex global systems such as the atmosphere, oceans, and agriculture. This volume will be of pivotal interest to students, scholars and academics in the fields of environmental studies, environment and society, human geography and environmental geography, as well as those with an interest in these areas more generally.

Why does the hem of T-shirts twist?
The twisting of the hem of T-shirts is often caused by the way the fabric is cut and sewn together. The tension applied during the sewing process can lead to the fabric twisting slightly. Additionally, the type of fabric used in T-shirts, such as jersey knit, can also contribute to the twisting effect. Washing and drying T-shirts can further exacerbate the twisting due to the movement and heat involved in the process.

How do I detach a hem from jeans?
To detach a hem from jeans, start by carefully cutting the stitching that holds the hem in place using a seam ripper or small scissors. Be sure to only cut the stitching and not the fabric of the jeans. Once all the stitching is removed, gently pull the hem away from the jeans to separate it completely. Finally, you may need to iron out any creases or marks left behind from the previous hem.

What do I do with a crooked hem?
If you have a crooked hem on a piece of clothing, you can try to straighten it out by carefully re-measuring and marking the hemline. Then, use a ruler or measuring tape to ensure that the hem is even all the way around. Pin the fabric in place and then carefully sew along the new hemline. If the crooked hem is on a knit fabric, you may need to use a stretch stitch to prevent the fabric from puckering. If you're not confident in your sewing skills, you can also take the garment to a tailor for professional help.
