handy hemming trick

This little trick is genius! Put a string up in a doorway at your desired hemline, dust it with chalk or talcum powder, then step on up wearing the article of clothing to be hemmed. Now if there was only a trick to make hemming pants easier. Man, I hate hemming pants.

Also sewing-related, I'm working up my courage to try something from this lovely book.
