My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

instructions for hand sewing a narrow scalloped shell hem

17 years ago

Hello,

I'd like instructions for hand sewing a narrow scalloped shell hem. I once read a magazine article on this but don't recall the details. The hem in question was on a little girl's dress, very dainty and delicate.

TIA!
