Hi everyone its George from Teach Me Fashion, in todays tutorial
I'm going to be showing you how to sew a French seam. I highly recommend using a French seam. If you are
using beautiful fabric like silk
or if you don't own an overlocker at home to finish the edge of your fabric, a French seam is a
concealed seam and
it leaves your garment with a clean and professional finish.
I often use a French seam at home when I'm doing a lot of home sewing and
I'm sure you will too after you see how easy it really is to sew in a French seam.
Check out and stay tuned for this tutorial
And I'm sure you will be using French seams after you see how easy it really is
Okay guys, so we're going to start now this will be the only time where you
will have your fabric
facing the wrong sides together, so here you can see I've got the pattern on this side, and that's my wrong side
So I'm going to keep that together
And I find pinning
helps stabilizes
Your fabric in place whilst you sew, so you can do that just like this.
Okay, so before you start sewing we're going to stitch a straight line
about half a centimeter or the foot width of your machine all the way down here and
Make sure you back tack at the start and at the end so it stabilises the stitch in place
So after sewing that straight stitch you will have something that looks like this
You'll have a seam that pokes up just like this as you spread out the fabric what I recommend doing now
That the second step is ironing open that seam
You're opening that up nice and flat ironing it so when you do the next step
it's really easy to do and then obviously is a lot easier as I'm using it on a stable fabric, but on a
delicate silk I recommend
Ironing every step that you go
So I have ironed that open
and pushed the seam to one side and
Now what you'll need to do is pin in place so you're folding the fabric back onto itself so now it is
Right-side fabrics together, and this is where your seam is going to be enclosed
so just pin that in place making sure that your
Seam on the other side lines up
and
This stabilizes the fabric in place so you don't get any
Ribbed sections as you sew or ripples as you call it
As you go, as you pin along obviously it's different on a longer garment.
Just use your thumb, and your pointer finger to roll back the seams
so that it's
Nice and tight the seam will be nice and tight
So this is pretty much the last process besides ironing
you're going to sew a straight stitch
From here to here making sure that you back tack at the start and at the end to stabilize the stitch.
Again and also remove the pins as you go.
I am going to do at least one centimetre seam
So here we go
Place the fabric underneath your foot
Put the foot down, and I always roll my needle into the fabric first before I put my foot down.
So after ironing that nice and flat your French Seam will be beautiful and clean. And it should look like this
Nice and clean and professional
So that is how you sew a French Seam, I hope you found the tutorial really easy to follow and super useful!
I hope you use a French seam in your next garment and also
