How To Sew A French Seam
By Ms. S
Its Majesty, The French seam!
I have used this seam on my recent creation. It’s perfect for sheer or lightweight fabrics and doesn’t need a Serger. Moreover, it looks neat.
Step 1:
Sew a seam, wrong sides together. (This is the opposite of how you would normally sew a seam.)
Step 2:
Trim the seam allowance in half or more.
Step 3:
Fold the fabric with the right sides together and press.
Step 4:
Stitch again, encasing the raw edge.
Step 5:
Press the seam to one side to finish. Press again from the right side of the fabric to flatten the seam.
Here you go!
Now you know how to sew a French seam.
