What does REHEM mean in Scrabble?
verb
technical
To hem again, especially to adjust or replace the hem of a garment, such as when altering its length.
Rehem describes the sewing task of removing an existing hem and stitching a new one, usually because a garment needs to be shortened, lengthened or repaired after wear. A tailor might rehem a pair of trousers to fit a new owner, or rehem a skirt that has come loose along the folded edge. The word is built simply from re- and hem, following the same pattern as many other sewing terms formed the same way, such as reseam or rebind. It is a narrow, practical term used mainly by people who sew or alter clothing rather than in general conversation.
