Learn to Sew a French Seam

Hi everyone! In this video, I'll be showing you how to sew a French seam, a classic seam finish that's perfect for lightweight or sheer fabrics. French seams encase the raw edges and give a neat finish to your garment, making them a great option when you don't have a serger or overlocker machine.
As someone who loves sewing, I'm excited to share this step-by-step tutorial with you. I'll guide you through the process of preparing your fabric, sewing the first and second seam, and pressing your seams for a professional look. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced sewist, this video is a must-watch for anyone looking to take their sewing skills to the next level.

Wow, I wish they still taught this stuff in schools in the UK. It’s not all that common these days.
For hand sewing needles personally I prefer Milward Sharps, and find for most fabrics up to the weight of cotton a No. 8 needle is perfect. I believe sharps are quite commonly available.
