I'm making a denim wrap skirt, it's the perfect place to use flat felled seams. They are neat, easy and look good inside and out. (Apologies for using black fabric, which makes some of the stitching tricky to see here, but I was midway through a project.)
First sew the seam with wrong sides together. I like to use a wide seam allowance for this - I used a 1.5cm (5/8 inch) allowance here.
Press the seam open.
Next trim one side of the seam allowance to about 5mm wide (sorry blurry photo here).
The other side of the seam allowance should be folded in half and pressed.
Press the folded side over the trimmed side enclose the trimmed edge in the fold if you can. and press into place.
Now topstitch close to the edge of the fold.
You should see two lines of stitching on the oustside of the garment and one on the inside.
There you go easy peasy.
That's a great tutorial. But is the third picture upside down?
