Expand the Hem command box and use the offset to create the hems. Then use the Corner command. I did a quick change to your base sketch to get the (sides) longer.
The sketch is completely unconstrained, not good modeling practices.

I think you are doing too much work.
There is an easier way.
First thing I noticed is that your Sketch1 is not constrained.

I always enjoy you solutions. Buggered if I know how you did it with only 2 features though! Mind sharing the secret JD?

Here's one with the two features similar to JD's method (I presume). This is done in 2013, so the OP (using 2010) won't be able to open it.

Sam and Blair, many thanks.
Good old CONTOUR FLANGE. Never new it could do that. Touchy in the order or operations and in the skecth geometry (had Bendradius*2 for HEM width but just had too keep trying to get it to work).
Maybe 1 for the developers but the cut in the FACE side of the part isn't needed for manufacturing this part. This only occurs when you have the CT as an extension to the extents of the FACE. If the FACE includes the length of the HEM then these extra cuts are not generated.

Unfortunately the OP had unconstrained sketches in the original post and only visits here about once a year and apparently didn't see the better solution.

You're right about the unneccessary cut on the face. This one eliminates that, but I'm not too pleased with the way it opened up the ends of the miters. Oddly enough, the preview while creating or editing the Contour Flange feature looks much better than the finished product:
The only way I found to make it look "right" is to choose Arc Weld for the corner relief shape.
