Thank you! I have done this before but it was 7 years ago and i was freaking out about doing it again! It worked great!😅

Excellent tutorial. Perfect pace, I found I could follow along easily, and as a beginner that's really helpful.

Thanks. This is my preferred method too, even when not doing a French seam. I know that many sewers recommend sewing in the flat but I find this much more precise. I have a serger so do not use French seams much but I will try this. It is much prettier than serged. It is good to show viewers, like you do, how fiddly this is so they know what to expect. Sometimes people make it look really smooth and don’t show how you have to manipulate the fabric. Great video.

This is great! After doing the neckline, I figured there MUST be a way to do the same technique with sleeves.. Now what to do with the lining!

This is the first time I’ve seen a sleeve put. In with a French seam. The demo and verbal instructions were easy to follow. I will try this in a future sewing project. Thank you.

I DID it and I‘m never going back! Thank you so much for showing us and being so reassuring about those little pleats on the first pass! My Gilbert shirt is looking good! ❤❤❤❤

Thanks for this clear video on setting in a sleeve with a French Seam!

What excellent teaching skills you have! You led me through the entire process, of course the second sleeve was less intimidating. Your explanations and demonstrations of all the steps were perfect.
I earned how to sew by my mother when i was a young teen and wanted to make my own clothes. Now, at 68 years old I’m relearning and discovering seam finishes and proper pressing and fitting to make garments that are far above in quality than what I can get in a clothing store. Thank you so much!

Like the previous tutorial, Just brilliant. Going to give this a go. I do like garments to look good on the inside as well on the outside.
I also think it makes them last longer :)

Thank you very much, it worked on the first try :) I started trying french seams for lighter fabrics and it works like a charm now.

I so appreciate these short instructional videos. I keep a reference list and it makes it so much easier to be able to just watch the instructions for the thing I'm doing and not to have to search a video for a particular part. Thanks.

First time sewing the sleeve with French seam using your tutorial. I did it beautifully, quite a feat to me for a first try. Thank you so much!

I know this has been up here for a while but a friend just shared this and I am so glad she did. Your tutorials are always very good and straight forward. Thank you! Now to add more to the seam allowance of my armscye and sleeve.😊. Thanks again!

Thank you so much!! Im making a childs shirt and prefer doing french seams for longevity and could not for the life of me figure out how to do the armhole cleanly. So thank you for doing a concise step by step tutorial! My son's new shirt came out awesome!

Strangely enough, we call these English seams in French. A little tricky either way! Why don't you set the sleeve before sewing the sides? It seems so much easier but there might be a good reason. Great instruction.
