These pictures show the more interesting, externally almost invisible part of the handwork.
The first photo shows the entirely hand folded bottom edge of the shirt, the second where the cuffs are attached to the sleeves from the outside with the third photo showing the same from the inside.
The same tiny handstitching like for the cuff attachement is also used to sew on the collar with maximum stability that can be given to a handstitch.
The other pictures show the attachement of the two pieces the cuffs are made of (not easy to spot), the long side seams on the shirt's body and on the the sleeves which are stitched on one row with a single needle machine and on the other by hand to combine longevivity with the beauty of a handstich (some say the handstitch here adds flexibility, although I rather see the handworks benefits here rather on an the aestehtic side, the side seams certainly look more flat and dont tend to bunch up with time like on many machine sewn double-rows on the long side seams).
This post was good.
