i am looking at it i could `only` reknit` the hem ? but it will show
as this shirt has been worn and washed a lot , i could jut fold the
hem or i could sew some ribbon around it or knit some other lace ???
any ideas?

I need some more details before I can suggest anything What, exactly,
is wrong? What color is it? What style? What thickness of yarn?

On further reflection...................could you perhaps add a
crocheted border to the hem, if that is where the problem lies? If you
have an appropriate yarn, you could perhaps do that plus add a similar
border to neckline and sleeve hems so that it looks planned, not added.
