Step 9

These look similiar to the Alabama studio “open felled seams on the right side” and have no raw edges instead you see the finished seam of the inside piece (the “flesh”). You will only see the "flesh" on one side: when you turn the garment to wear it the other side out, the seam will appear as a clean join with no sitching visible. Have a look at the pink top and skirt in "Water and Jam":http://www.burdastyle.com/projects/water-and-jam-proofed-pattern-piece-technique-and-fleshed-seams?image=95419 Pin pieces exactly on top of each other with edges aligned. Pinch the fabric together and weave a stright sititch down the length of the edges, 0.5cm (2/8 inch) in from the aligned edges. (If this isn't clear, let me know and I'll get a better pic!)
