    Coat of the Linen type

    Ladies and Gents,

    So I have started to work on a linen sack, this being a first for me. I have never had the oppertunity to see an orginal in person, but have come across a number of decent photos. None have been able to answer my question, though. So with no more ado... How are the hems dealt with? Many of the pictures I have seen seem to not have top stitching. Is the hem whipped down? If not, how are they treated? Thanks for any and all help.

    They're flat felled. I think there are some pictures over on thesewingacademy.org forum of originals showing the felling, or at least discussion of it.
