Seam
The joining of two or more pieces of fabric by sewing through both pieces. There are a number of ways to construct and finish seams.
Examples
Image 1: These pattern pieces will be sewn together along the Center Back line (green dashed line), creating a seam. The shaded pink area will be the seam in the fabric when they are sewn together.
Image 2:
When the fabric is cut and the two pieces are sewn together, the seam can be seen on the inside. In this case the seam is pressed open.
Image 3:
In this image, the seam has been pressed to one side rather than pressed open.
