+ All seams are sewn with a french seam, using a narrow zig-zag
+ stitch.

+ For a total allowance of 2 cm, wrong sides facing sew with a 8 mm
+ allowance, turn inside out, sew with a 10 mm allowance, press to one
+ side.

+ Alternatively, they can be sewn with a flat felled seam on the
+ *right* side of the garment, again with a narrow zig-zag stitch:
+ wrong sides facing sew with a 2 cm allowance, trim one of the
+ allowances down to 8 mm, fold the other allowance over it to cover
+ all raw edges and topstitch 2 mm from the folded edge.
