Open Seams

With the invention of modern sewing machines often more traditional sewing technics and skills are forgotten. One of these is the open seam which takes the skill of a machinist to keep the fabric straight as they place to the two edges together and sew together. The raw edge of the seam is then also turned bound and finished giving the edges a neat finish. In our more tailored pieces where silhouette and cut lines are important we use this type of seaming, bound with a chambray for a causal look.
