You don’t need a sewing machine to make simple alterations that turn your clothes into do-it-yourself projects. A little ingenuity, a needle and a thread go a long way toward turning the clothes you already have into the clothes you want.
Is there such a thing as hemming tape?
Hemming tape is a very useful invention. This form of securing a hem uses a double-sided thin, strip of webbing with a heat-activated glue. It comes in a roll of tape and has the ability to stick fabric on both sides. It is ideal if you are in a hurry and for emergencies when you need to make a quick repair to hems.
What can I use in place of sewing?
There are two great ways to attach fabric without sewing: fabric glue or a fusible bonding tape like Dritz Stitch Witchery. If you have a sewing machine, sewing is often still the fastest and most reliable method for many projects, but fabric glue or Stitch Witchery are great alternatives.
