DIY Hemline Tool
Out of all the different projects I try, I often end up with the same problem. I'm terrible at pressing down fabrics at a specific point. (Often times its for a 1/4 inch hem). I'm just terrible at it and my hemlines often end up uneven at best. I finally decided it was time to figure out a way to even out my hemlines.
I did a quick search on Pinterest and I found a lot of posts for how to hem pants and a one for a bunch of hemline guide sticks. Eventually I was able to find one post on how to make my own hemline tool!

Results
recommends using cardstock for the hemline guide, but I already had an old cardboard envelope, so I decided to use that instead. It took a couple of seconds to dismantle and cut the envelope in half.
I used the half without the overhang and quickly measured out 3 inch stripes along the side.
i couldn't imagine needing a hem longer than 3 inches, so I left it at the that. In the first inch, however, I split into 1/4 inch segments.
Most importantly it works like a charm!
And now I don't have to worry about project hemlines anymore!
