Seam the Garter

Debbie Colgrove, Licensed to About.com
A French Seam is best to seam the ends of the garter together.
  • Place the wrong sides (the side which will be against the leg) of the garter together and align the ends and edges.
  • Sew a seam, using a scan 1/4" seam allowance.
  • Trim the seam allowance.
  • Fold the garter on the sewn seam, so the right sides of the garter are together and the sewn seam is the edge.
  • Sew a seam using a 1/4" seam allowance, which will enclose the raw edges.
