I LOVE doing french seams! They are so much fun! WOW! How come I never knew this before?
I did some french seaming on recent doll clothes- pants in particular and it turned out great!
Anyone else doing lots of french seams?

Alee, I do french seams on my husband's dress shirts! They look nice and finished. I also use my serger to do a lot of straight seams!

I haven't done french seams since 4-H! They really do give your garment a polished look, don't they?

me too, oh. Learn something new everyday. Do french seams get done by hand often, or is it more for a machine sewer?
Last Wednesday, when our farmgirl chapter made aprons, I got a lesson in sewing bias tape on the edges of an apron. It was interesting to watch the bias tape being sewn on, much easier than I ever thought it would be. Then, when I went and looked at the vintage aprons I have collected and saw how all the bias tape was applied, it was like seeing it for the first time. I have hand sewed for years, so lots of sewing things are still new to me!
