      So funny. I am Cuban and what they call the Cuban heel in the United States (as in shoes) no Cuban woman would be caught dead wearing under any circumstances. They think it's frumpy.

    I use that seam when I make pillow cases. Works great! Thank you for posting this video!

    I remember I was making a dress for my doll. I had just finished sewing the skirt to the top when I realized that the seam was on the outside. I had no patience for seam ripping it and starting over, so I encased it in another seam. I did the French seam without knowing that was an actual technique😂 (It was a knit.)

    Thanks, Laura, particularly for including such clear information about the seem allowance measurements, which I was couldn't seem to find elsewhere.

    Just in time, Laura... I'm just about to make my second garment for myself. I was a little unhappy how the seams looked on my first garment so I am going to do French seams where I can on this garment. Thank you, Pat 🐨🇦🇺

    We call it a French seam in Canada and my sewing teacher *INSISTED* we learn it and my final grade was based on it! I'm so glad I learned it because when I had the chance to have my own clothes tailored bespoke, I knew what kind of seams to request. I had a silk chemise made in Vietnam in 1998 and I can honestly tell you, I only let go of that shirt in 2020, that's how long it lasted!

    Can this French seam be done on curves as well?
    PS. When I grow up I want my hair and my hands to be as beautiful as yours. 💕

    I’m making a pool bag using pet mesh and fabric. French seams up the side to be pretty and not to snag. Mesh is very stiff. Can you do French seams on the boxed corners as well?

    • @SewVeryEasy
      @SewVeryEasy  4 года назад

      you can but it will be a thick seam. Try making the seam allowance larger:)
