Fall Floral: a heavy knit hem

Hello again everyone! I wanted something warm and fun to wear to Thanksgiving this year. I found this floral, knit, outdated dress at a local thrift store that I love to go to, and I think I paid about $0.75 for it.

I could see that it had potential, but it was too long. Here is a before picture, along with my cat, Darwin, being indecent. I apologize.



Hemming heavy knit fabric turned out to be soooo much more difficult than I thought! I spent a few hours on a job that should have taken me about 45 min, tops. I finally got it right, though, and here is the final product!
