I just made a lettuce-hem tee with an old stretchy fabric I had since a long time ago, following your tutorial and I'm so damn happy!!!!!! Thank you Annika💜\^_^/
Golly gee! I had several lettuce hem shirts as a child back in the late 90's-early 00's and haven't seem them in more than a decade. Who knew they would be back in style and not for toddlers?
I can't believe they're in style, personally I don't care for the lettuce hem look at all, but I ain't gonna tell other people what to wear so you do you!
Just a tip : when you want to move or take out pieces of any system such as your sewing machine, take a picture of it before changing anything ! That way you can always refer to the photo to put everything back in place afterwards. :)
would these techniques work on socks? i imagine it would be pretty similar to a sleeve, and i think it would be fun to have a lettuce hem on some crew socks !
They might end up falling down a lot because you've removed the elasticated top to keep the socks up properly. If you put a fine elastic at the top underneath the lettuce hem it could work though.
This brought back memories of my favorite shirt in second grade, which was a light purple turtleneck with lettuce hem at the neck and sleeves. I would wear it tucked into my jeans with a clear plastic belt with flowers on it. I was stylin'. I just saw in the comments that everyone had lettuce hemmed shirts in the 90's which is when I was in second grade, so I guess I was trendy for once in my life!
Thank you for teaching this :) I upcycled an old t-shirt using this hem, and will do more. One thing I noticed, that if you want to use contrasting thread with zig zag stitch or just in general zig zag instead of overlock, then stretching the material but not rushing it, instead feeding it slowly through makes the zig zag stitches look more full/dense. Might be useful for someone :)
I remember having one of these shirts in like 2009 and since me and my sis are 20 months apart we had matching ones... mine was purple with stripes and hers was green 😂
Reminds me of all the cute tops I wore when I was 6. Super cute, but $60? Still blows me away when I see the original costs of the items you recreate on your channel!
Annika i love how much time and effort you put into researching proper methods on how to do things and the thorough yet easy to understand instructions you provide. while i'll personally never do any of the things you do in your videos, i can really appreciate your attention to detail.
I've always wanted to sew lettuce hems to my shirts but thought I needed a serger to do it.... I've just tried your sewing machine method and it really works!! I'm so happy. Now I'm rubbing my hands in glee as I think about all the old t-shirts I can bring back to life with this technique. Thanks so much, Annika!!
Yay!! A make thrift buy on the day I have a frigging holster ecg for 24 hours. The medical tape they use to keep in place irritates my skin, so this is great
I did it on a pajama set I'm sewing (with a few adjustments, for example I didn't fold the edge) and it looks super cute!!! I'm so happy that you included the sewing machine method since I don't own a serger and my sewing machine is just a singer tradition without have any fancy stitches. It's such an easy and cute way to finish a garment 😊 Thank you so much!!!
You should totally make one of those leg purses, where the bottom wraps around your thigh and the strap can go either over your shoulder or around your waist
Oh fudge, I was so excited to try this since I love this look and there aren't any shirts like this around where I live but I sew with a singer from the 1930s and it doesn't have zig zag options 😅😂😂😂
Annika I have such bad depression RA and FM so bad I have a chair too and most days am so sad or tired to get out of bed and care for myself, how can you run a whole RUclips channel? You are a FM goddess!!!!!!!! How can you do it....????? In awe..... ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😘
Hi Annika, thank you for this tutorial, I used this hem on a dress, I hemed the collar, sleeves and the whole bottom of the dress, it turned out so beautiful, I used a regular brother machine and it was perfect, thank you so much for this tutorial. 😘❤️🌹
There are 4 or 5 of your projects that I'd love to try and get around to alongside my uni stuff at the moment - it's impossible to find skirts or shorts that fit me just how I'd like so a lot of your vids have come in super handy! Looking to get going with some of them once I'm less frazzled with uni essays! Keep up the great work!
This is so helpful! thank you for making this MTB!! I needed a good tutorial for this because I'm making a skirt for a costume and i really wanted this type of hem line for it!
I know nothing about sewing (like it's bad, I don't think I can even sew a button on) but I just love watching your videos... even if it sounds like a different language to me the whole time xD It's just awesome to see how you can make all this stuff! You're so talented and it's just really fun to watch what you can create. Keep doing what you do!
It's funny, that's what my knit hemlines came out as when I was just learning how to sew, and I thought it was terrible, but now I guess it's in trend and I shouldn't feel too bad? lol, still love the video!
Oh interesting! I was noticing this kind of hem on a lot of my nightgowns/sleep shirts and had been wondering how to recreate it. I was leaning towards using a Scallop Stitch and a Rolled Hem Foot, but haven't tried that since I've been very sick.
I remember once I was hemming a stretchy dress and I accidentally made a lettuce hem because I hadn't set up my machine correctly and/or I didn't know all the tecniques for sewing stretchy fabric, haha.
ANNIKA! ARE YOU UP FOR A CHALLENGE? DO YOU LOVE ANIMALS? I have sugar gliders, and bonding pouches are REALLY expensive, and half the time the ones you buy are unsafe! Can you show us a video on how to make a sugar glider bonding pouch? (fleece is the best fabric, it judt have hidden seams)
i clicked on this, and then i had to pause because im wearing a 'lettuce' hem shirt, that i bought at a thrift shop , because i thought the hem is so cute.... GOSH this is so MAKE THRIFT BUY
I actually hemmed a ribbed top like that accidentally about two years ago. It was my first try at stretchy fabric and I thought I had to stretch it when hemming. ^-^'
That is really cool. I’m going ‘feminise’ my husband’s unwanted T-shirt for myself today. I’ve already shaped in the sides as well because I want to keep the length. I’m going to use my Bernina sewing machine. Thank you💕💕
You can do the same thing as the sewing machine technique and enclose fishing line under your zig-zag stitch to create dramatic ruffles! Not great for necklines but at the bottom of a skirt it can create something cool
Thank you for your videos :) I am sometimes surprised by what people dig up :P but thank you for the time and effort you put into figuring out how to make those things. Have a great day!
I just made a lettuce-hem tee with an old stretchy fabric I had since a long time ago, following your tutorial and I'm so damn happy!!!!!!
Thank you Annika💜\^_^/
does it need to be stretchy fabric???
@@sofiaaa5599 yes
I don't even sew. But I still watch every video.
maria39866 same 100%
maria39866 saaaaame, this series is too good/AMAZING she can recreate most of this stuff
maria39866 anything sewing related is addicting
maria39866 me too but she makes me want to learn
lol me
Golly gee! I had several lettuce hem shirts as a child back in the late 90's-early 00's and haven't seem them in more than a decade.
Who knew they would be back in style and not for toddlers?
Mer Feraine exactly my thoughts. 😂
I thought the same! It's so fun to see all the things that were around when I was a kid gradually reappear
I can't believe they're in style, personally I don't care for the lettuce hem look at all, but I ain't gonna tell other people what to wear so you do you!
Mer Feraine We should have kept our old stuff and sold it as "vintage" lol
I still have my baby socks with this design oh dear
*lettuce begin
lol
Isabella Rose Krist soup 💖💖💖
Isabella Rose literally just watched a kirst soup video.

MarineHeartPink THAT IS SUCH A GOOD IDEA!
Have you figured out where that piece goes? Thanks for the video!
Anne Araullo nooooope hahaha
is it still working?
Great idea💖
can you make a clear bomber jacket???
Or a satin/silky bomber jacket?
Or just any bomber jacket
yesss bomber jacket! I've seen some tutorials to do them, but I never understand them, I bet Annika would do a great job!
yaaaasss
Adell Oxeye The fabric is called pearlized organza. So pretty..
would these techniques work on socks? i imagine it would be pretty similar to a sleeve, and i think it would be fun to have a lettuce hem on some crew socks !
breanna :P lettuce hem socks sounds really cool! it would probably work.
They might end up falling down a lot because you've removed the elasticated top to keep the socks up properly. If you put a fine elastic at the top underneath the lettuce hem it could work though.
That's a great idea! I also have a sewing channel if you want to look at it
k this is a super good idea thank you
breanna :P love this idea

Lettuce hems are back in?! Time to pull out all those old shirts from elementary school!
Bunny Senpai right?? I'm so loving this early 2000s revival haha
I remember having one of these shirts in like 2009 and since me and my sis are 20 months apart we had matching ones... mine was purple with stripes and hers was green 😂
mine was red with stripes and i still have it lol
I started sewing when I was a little girl but quit last year. Your videos inspired me and now I love sewing again! I can't thank you enough 😘
My god, it's like I'm blown back into my childhood! I'm not kidding, I think half my wardrobe had hems like this!
Are we back in the 90's? LoL I remember wearing these types of blouses as a child. Great Job!
Reminds me of all the cute tops I wore when I was 6. Super cute, but $60? Still blows me away when I see the original costs of the items you recreate on your channel!
Annika i love how much time and effort you put into researching proper methods on how to do things and the thorough yet easy to understand instructions you provide. while i'll personally never do any of the things you do in your videos, i can really appreciate your attention to detail.
This is something I'd really like to make, adds a cute little flair to a simple tshirt.
I have been binging these for about a week and omg I love your videos so much! I'm going to start sewing thanks to you!!!!!
I've always wanted to sew lettuce hems to my shirts but thought I needed a serger to do it.... I've just tried your sewing machine method and it really works!! I'm so happy.

Sachi the Cat ヽ(*≧ω≦)ノ oh man holters suck - I had a 48 hr one last year and the tape/suction cups left bruises! Good luck!!
I did it on a pajama set I'm sewing (with a few adjustments, for example I didn't fold the edge) and it looks super cute!!! I'm so happy that you included the sewing machine method since I don't own a serger and my sewing machine is just a singer tradition without have any fancy stitches.

I remember having this stripy shirt with buttons that opened the neck hole a bit, and a lettuce hem and it was the coolest shirt ever
sharshey was it orange and yellow bc thats exactly how mine was and i had flashbacks reading this comment
Oh fudge, I was so excited to try this since I love this look and there aren't any shirts like this around where I live but I sew with a singer from the 1930s and it doesn't have zig zag options 😅😂😂😂
ME TOO! Mines from the 50s though, but same problem!
Annika I have such bad depression RA and FM so bad I have a chair too and most days am so sad or tired to get out of bed and care for myself, how can you run a whole RUclips channel? You are a FM goddess!!!!!!!! How can you do it....????? In awe..... ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😘
omg lettuce hem shirts were my childhood
Omg I just used this and I cannot TELL YOU how much it helped me I’m absolutely IN LOVE with how it turned out !!!!! Thank you !! ❤️
unfortunately I'd do this without wanting to but couldn't do it when I wanted to.
#sewinglife
sara bradley same
So I've sewn a hem like that on accident. Who knew it could look so cute on purpose lol. Def doing it again
Ahh too cool! Lettuce hems were popular during the late 70s. Definitely had them on my shirts, dresses, and skirts. Excellent job!! 👍👍
This takes me back to the 90's. I feel like all of my shirts had a lettuce hem. This tuned out great!
Ok, now I just wanna see someone do this but make the t-shirt lettuce themed so it is a literal lettuce top
I never missed a video and I watch them over and over again because they are really good 😊
I loved lettuce hemmed tops when I was little. I remember they were quite popular in the late 90s and early 00s~
Your tutorials are always so helpfully detailed and easy to understand.
Oh my goodness, I was literally just looking at that top on Brandy Melville wondering how to create that hem. Thank you so much!!
Don't you mean "lettuce begin"??? 😏😏😏
Hansika P I KNOW how did I miss that hahaha
dont have a serger OR a sewing machine but i'd watch this videos everyday
I love your channel SOO much your channel helps me and my grandma connect love you Annika
When I was around my first years of primary school (2001-2004) it was really fancy amongst the class :)
Hey, could you recreate the Jeffrey Campbell "The Jagger" shoes?
Here is a link: www.karmaloop.com/product/The-Jagger-Shoe-in-Black-Leather-and-Baby-Dolls/389676
Emmy it's so expensive omg
marylikescats yes but i want to make them by myself but idk how
Emmy yeeeees please do this !
you should make watermelon shorts!! if you look them up they are just normal shorts but i think you dip dye them? and make a green and pink ombre!
Hi Annika, thank you for this tutorial, I used this hem on a dress, I hemed the collar, sleeves and the whole bottom of the dress, it turned out so beautiful, I used a regular brother machine and it was perfect, thank you so much for this tutorial. 😘❤️🌹
i dont sew at all but i watch every one of these because annika is just too adorable! and her ideas are always a+
I got inspired to pick up sewing from watching your videos. I just started but so far I love it! so thank you lol
Love your videos they're so fun to watch. I never sew but keep making them they're awesome!!!❤️😂
I love how you find a solution to make all your projects easy so everyone can replicate
GliitteryBlood oh cool! Thanks for letting me know :D
I had a white, ribbed jersey turtleneck sweater with a lettuce hem on the bottom and sleeves back in the early 2000's.
It turned out sooo pretty
There are 4 or 5 of your projects that I'd love to try and get around to alongside my uni stuff at the moment - it's impossible to find skirts or shorts that fit me just how I'd like so a lot of your vids have come in super handy! Looking to get going with some of them once I'm less frazzled with uni essays! Keep up the great work!
I never understand what annika talked about . I just loved all her sewing video
This is so helpful! thank you for making this MTB!! I needed a good tutorial for this because I'm making a skirt for a costume and i really wanted this type of hem line for it!
T3TR1S Kandi yay!!
You always show me such interesting trends that I would never know existed!! Like you said it's sewing blasphemy to get a lettuce hem!!
Yay to new vid and nay to hem I can't get a decent flat hem without useing stitch and tear or solvy for delicate (stabiliser for embroidery)
This top looks so cute ! If only I had your confidence to pull that off.
I know nothing about sewing (like it's bad, I don't think I can even sew a button on) but I just love watching your videos... even if it sounds like a different language to me the whole time xD It's just awesome to see how you can make all this stuff! You're so talented and it's just really fun to watch what you can create. Keep doing what you do!
i just made THE cutest top using this video and the alien shirt video, pretty happy with it made from scrap fabric from scratch- thanks x
I am going to try making a circle skirt! So excited!
It's funny, that's what my knit hemlines came out as when I was just learning how to sew, and I thought it was terrible, but now I guess it's in trend and I shouldn't feel too bad? lol, still love the video!
I love this concept😮 I think it would also look cute without cutting the neckline and just sewing over the sleeves and bottom
I totally remember lettuce hems on my sleeves when I was little girl! I can't wait to try this!
I always get excited when I see Annika posted
Can you make a floor length circle skirt? ((: Maybe a gathered one, or with pleats?
I love how it turned out! You looked amazing
Worked perfectly on my first try!! Thanks so much!!
You have little golden crane scissors! I have a pair too but they are silver.
I never noticed that one of your stickers was a Veronica Mars quote and I got so excited!
I love the "particularly if you don't fit into Brandy Melvilles one size fits small"
yessssss I live to watch these. I swear im gonna learn to sew one day haha
That's the sweetest t-shirt i ever saw, and you look soooo sweet aswell, Annika!
Oh interesting! I was noticing this kind of hem on a lot of my nightgowns/sleep shirts and had been wondering how to recreate it. I was leaning towards using a Scallop Stitch and a Rolled Hem Foot, but haven't tried that since I've been very sick.

I LOVE IT!!! this is goin to be my first ever sewing machine project!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL this reminds me of elementary school XD i used to wear this "lettuce hem" all the time i can't believe its coming back and for adults
You look so cute in that shirt! i did a lettuce hem a couple years ago and it was really annoying cause I was doing it on a circle omg
OMG! Brings me back to high school! I love it!
I love your channel, and I make some of your diy, and, i made it!! I'm so happy for that!! thank you for everything!! Don't stop your art. xx 💫💕🙌🏻
I love these style of shirts! It's funny how fashion never really changes😂
Didn't realize lettuce hem had a name! I remember wearing lettuce hem in the 90's, I chewed on lots of lettuce hem sleeves...
I think her version was way cuter than the original. the looser fit was flattering and the wide neck gave a better line. 10/10 ❤
good thing im in sewing class now so I can soon ACTUALLY make some things from your videos ♡
ANNIKA! ARE YOU UP FOR A CHALLENGE? DO YOU LOVE ANIMALS? I have sugar gliders, and bonding pouches are REALLY expensive, and half the time the ones you buy are unsafe! Can you show us a video on how to make a sugar glider bonding pouch? (fleece is the best fabric, it judt have hidden seams)
I accidentally do this hem on almost everything lol
i clicked on this, and then i had to pause because im wearing a 'lettuce' hem shirt, that i bought at a thrift shop , because i thought the hem is so cute.... GOSH this is so MAKE THRIFT BUY

I wanted to know how to make a raw edge on knit fabrics and of course I find part of the answer on this channel, time to go do my own experiments. :)
So very 90s haha I had dozens of shirts with those hems growing up
SO STINKING CUTE IT LOOKS SO ADORABLE ON YOU
You can do the same thing as the sewing machine technique and enclose fishing line under your zig-zag stitch to create dramatic ruffles! Not great for necklines but at the bottom of a skirt it can create something cool
Thank you so much for this, I had know idea where to find it and if making it is this easy I'll give it a go!
This looks so cool! I think it would look awesome on long sleeve shirts and on shorts. Amazing work, Annika ❤️
Finally! A trend that will let me wear all those stretchy t-shirts that I ruined trying to hem them!
I remember I used to wear shirts like that in middle school.
So disappointed when you didn't say 'lettuce begin'
The tree dislikes must live sad lives if they don't like Annika.. ❤️ love ya girl! Can't wait to make this myself!!
Thank you for your videos :) I am sometimes surprised by what people dig up :P but thank you for the time and effort you put into figuring out how to make those things. Have a great day!
Yes!!!! I've wanted to know how to do this for so long! I hope it works on tulle as well, my 8 year old me is so happy right now :D
I love you Annika! You are such an inspiration
