Stitching Side Seams

In this section we will sew our side seams. The video below shows you how I did my blue tunic side seams. I choose to do a flat-felled seam that is stitched first with a combination stitch of a running stitch and a backstitch. Then the seam is opened up and the fold is felled down. There are many different self finishing seams you can choose for your tunic such as:

• Mantua-makers seam.

• German felling (double felled seam).

• Flat-felled seam: German felling (double felled seam).

• Flat-felled seam: Combination running and backstitch.

• Flat-felled seam: Backstitch.

• Butted seam.

All of the above seaming techniques are in the Self-Finished Seams class. To review click here to go to the class.
