Samples of Flat felled seams by hand

I collected a bunch of photos of different shirts and shirt dresses with hand sewn flat felled seams. These photos are from various projects - showing both the flat felled seam on the arm sync seam (green wool) and on the sleeve/side seam (white linen, pink plaid, yellow stripe, green wool and white muslin). For a step-by-step view, I took photos of the keep steps in this album:
