Burda Style For people who sew

For more sewing tutorials visit Grosgrain http://www.grosgrainfabulous.blogspot.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Learn how to make French Seams in your garments. Some of you may have heard of French Seams but didn't really know what they were or how they differed from regular seams. Well, DON'T be intimidated JUST because they're called 'french'. They are really simple. If you don't have a serger, they are just another way to make the seams of transparent fabrics where the seams can be seen from the outside or used for fabrics that fray easily.

  This tutorial was helpful. I really appreciate that it was in a video format. I like seeing a person doing the task, I find it easier to learn that way, sometimes. Thank you!

  I really like french seams but I wonder, why choose them over normal serged seams? Aesthetically?
