French seams are a simple way to make your seams look nice and neat inside the garment as well as strengthening them. You basically sew the seam twice and hide all the mess inside.
Step 1- Place you fabric WRONG sides together and pin in place.
Step 2- Sew a normal running stitch close to the edge of the fabric. You only want your seam allowance to be a few mm.
Step 3- Now put your fabric RIGHT sides together and pin in place.
Step 4- Now line your sewing machine needle up (or hand needle is you're doing it the slow way!) so that you can sew a new row of running stitch and fully hide the seam allowance.
Step 5- Now sew.
And that's that. The seam looks the same on the outside and inside, it's stronger, and less scratchy!
