In this video, I show how you can make a French seam. This seam looks the same on the outside as a regular seam, but the inside is very neatly finished. It works great for translucent fabrics, but also for many other cases.
The steps for making a French seam are:
1. Cut your fabric with 1,5 cm (3/4 inch) of seam allowance
2. Pin the pieces WRONG sides together
3. Sew a straight stitch 0,5 cm (1/4 inch) from the edge
4. Fold the fabric RIGHT sides together, press the seam flat and pin the fabric together again
5. Sew a second line of stitching 1 cm (1/2 inch) from the side, encasing the raw edges within the new seam
