It is sometimes called a chasuble.
A hem is part of garments, drapes or cloth
She only touched the hem of his garment
So you're garment doesn't fray, you need to sew a "hem". A hem allowance is a small bit of fabric left on the end so you can sew a hem.
It is known as the hem. A hem is a stitched narrow fold of cloth that prevents unravelling of a raw edge.
Possibly 'Hem of His Garment' by Sam Cooke. "If I could just touch the hem of his garment I know I'll be made whole right now".
A hem is the edge of a piece of cloth or clothing that has been turned under and sewn. The bottom hem would be the hem at the bottom of a garment (for example, the hem of your pants at your ankles, or the bottom edge of a dress).
Jenny Riddle
The hem on any garment is located at the bottom - this is where the fabric ends, making the garment long or short. The hem on jeans is at the bottom of each leg, where the fabric is folded under and sewn.
A hem is part of a garment, drape or any type of cloth.
Have the garment worn (inside out) by a person, or use a dressmaker's manikin to establish the correct length for the hem. Mark with chalk or pin with straight pins. Remove the garment and press the hem. Straighten the hem flat and turn down, a small amount of the "hem" material, and once again press the fabric - this will keep the fabric from fraying. If there is not enough extra fabric to do this step use a commercially available fray-stop liquid. Fold the hem into place with the extra inside between the hem material and the garment. Taking needle and thread, (use a colour matching the fabric for the thread), place a knot in the end of the thread. Catch a small amount of the upper edge of the hem with the needle and take a very small vertical stitch into the garment, pull thread through to the knot, move about an inch along the hem and take another stitch and pull the thread through until it is taught, but not so tight as to bunch the fabric. Be sure the hem is laying flat to the garment and continue stitching until you reach the end of your thread or the starting place of the hand work. Secure the thread with a knot and if you have not completed the hem, re-thread the needle and continue. When you have completed the hem, cut the thread, make sure the work is tidy (no hanging threads etc), turn the garment right side out and you are finished.
to be made whole.
A blind stitch is usually a hem stitch that is virtually unnoticeable from the "right" side of the garment. This is accomplished by just catching a couple threads of the fabric above the hem but not putting the needle and thread through the garment to anchor the stitch.
