    The basic lapped seam is a simple seam that involves overlapping two pieces of fabric and top stitching close to both edges. It works well for fabrics that don't fray like felt and leather by limiting bulk at the seam. This seam is useful for joining irregular shaped edges without adding bulk. The tutorial explains how to sew it by laying one fabric edge over the other with right sides up, top stitching close to the edge, flipping it over, and top stitching the other edge.

    BASIC LAPPED SEAM – TUTORIAL

    July 18, 2013 by Abby Rudakov 2 Comments

    This is a very simple seam. It works best with fabrics that don’t fray, such as felt and
    leather. The Basic Lapped Seam is made by simply overlapping two pieces of fabric. This
    limits any bulk at the seam and works well with awkward seams, such as joining irregular
    shaped edges.
    How to Sew a Basic Lapped Seam – Tutorial

    Lay the edge of one piece of fabric over the top of your other piece. Both fabrics should be
    right sides up.
    Top stitch very close to the edge.
    Flip it over. The picture above shows how the seam currently looks from the back. Top
    stitch the other edge.
    That’s it! See, I told you it was simple.
