Dart stitching for reinforcement of the crotch. This is an extremely rare detail, but I've seen it on 1870s Elfelt & Co. Pioneer waist overalls. As Levi's had patented the use of rivets, other brands needed to be inventive and come up with other methods of reinforcement. This is what makes this period so fascinating.

Sewing the decorative stitching on an 1870s-type back pocket. The stitching is not only decorative, but also keeps the reinforcement lining of the pocket in place.

1910s-type waist overall
The back is finished. I love how the orange thread really matches this denim.
The second pic shows the flat-felled seams on the inside.
