Hi again,
Forgive that i have another question. I want to make the sleave ruffles
of the yellow dress with scalloped edges. I dont have pinking tools, and
i just want to cut it with ordinary scissors.
How could i make the edge of this, so it wont fray? Should i make
buttonhole stitches? I want to add small bouquets of chenille flowers
here and there! Could i turn the edge, about 1-2 mm. and perhaps cut it
each top? I dont want to make tiny ones, but scallopes about 5 cm. wide

Hi Bjarne,
It seems to me that it's nearly impossible to make a narrow hem on a
5cm scallop. When scallops were popular fifty years ago, scallops were
hemmed by laying a hem band together with the fabric, cutting the
scallops, sewing them together on the scalloped edge with a narrow seam
allowance, turn and hem the hem band to the reverse of the fashion
fabric. hope this helps, Kitty
