About
Create neat, tidy French seams
One of my favorite seam finishes, the French seam is perfect for enclosing all the raw edges of a seam because everything gets turned in on itself. Because of the added bulk, it is best to use French seams on thinner fabrics, or where the bulk doesn't matter. It is also the perfect finish for sheer fabrics.

You Will Need
-
Step 1Sew the first seam with wrong sides together. For a 5/8" seam allowance, sew the first line of stitches 2/8" (1/4") from raw edge.
-
Step 2Flip the fabric so that rights sides are together. Press.
-
Step 3With right sides still together, sew second line of stitches 3/8" from pressed edge, enclosing raw edges from first seam. This will use up the full 5/8" seam allowance (2/8" + 3/8" = 5/8").
-
Step 4Press the seam open and you're done! For a faux flat-felled seam look, you can also sew a third line of stitches attaching the french seam to the garment.
