I'm actually trying to make an ie (a traditional blouse),



I'm currently working on the hem, it's extremely tedious,



I just can't get to working on it because of the kids. It's supposed to look like this when it's done,

[Mary]

Here's a video that shows how the hem is done, it's like the only video on the Internet that shows it,



this is just the sewing, first you have to pull out a row of 4-5 threads, then you can start doing this stuff. You do all sides, by hand obviously, you can't just start by embroidering.
