All the ideas for measuring are good, and I would use a hemming tape instead of a second fold. That way you will not have any wavy edge from the extra weight of the turn under.

I like all of the measuring ideas, but would zigzag stitch a hemming tape to the bottom edge that would be left raw, turn up the hem and blind hem the tape
