Learn how to create an easy, professional finish on your next sewing project.
Mock French seams aren't just easy, they're ideal when you're sewing a sheer material, a fabric that ravels, or just wanting a professional looking finish to your garments. Unlike French seams, a Mock French Seam is also ideal when sewing curves such as arm holes.

* The seams will need to be larger than 1/4". In these photos we have used a 5/8" seam allowance.
