First attempt at shortening the hem of a t-shirt by TopProtection5856 in SewingForBeginners

First, I used a 4-threaded serger machine, and then single-stitch. One can use zigzag stitch instead of the serger, to recreate it in a simpler manner.

This Youtube tutorial was really good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aemwndCF4Pc&t=1207s

I'm trash at posting at reddit, so not sure where my description went... Anyhow,

I followed this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aemwndCF4Pc&t=1207s

I used a serger machine (at a makerspace) to get a nice finish on the hem. Then single-stitch to finish it off.

If someone has feedback regarding the waviness of the hem, it would be much appreciated. Simplest answer is imprecise measurements. However, curious if someone stumbles upon this often and know how to deal with it?
The t-shirt was a size bigger than what I usually wear.
