Burnley and Trowbridge Co. | Historic Fashion Tutorial Series: The Seaming Stitch with "No Name in the 18thc" @BurnleyandTrowbridge | Uploaded February 2017 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Seaming technique of the 18th and early 19th century which finishes lining and outer fabric concurrently with seaming. This seam was named an "English Seam" By Fridrich Heyder A German Tailor who wrote "The Complete Art of Tailoring" and published it in 1834. Prior to that we are unable to find any documentation that specifically references this method of seaming although it appears to be used through out the 18th century and on into the 19th century in extant garments.
