This is a great seam if you want to have a nice finish on the inside of your garment. This is super easy to do and is my favorite way to make the inside very clean and prevent fraying. Where you would ordinarily pin the right sides of your garment together, when creating a French seam you begin by pinning the wrong sides together. Once pinned sew a ¼ inch seam, press the seam out and trim the extra fabric. Be careful when trimming to make sure you do not trim too close to the seam or the fabric will fray and the seam will unravel. Next, you must turn and re-pin with right sides together. Sew again with another ¼ inch seam and press the seam.
And there you have it... A beautifully finished seam.
