Nice fit with nice fabric, well done.

The next step up from French seams (not that it looks like you need it here with the care you’ve taken) is felled seams - more fiddly, but you don’t end up with a loose ridge that only stays down if you press it. One downside of felled seams is that you can’t do them both seams on a sleeve or leg or something, as you are sewing a line on an opened out seam. Another is that you will need to practice quite a bit!

Many sewing machines do have an overlock stitch to finish off seams, but its not as tidy or strong as you would get with a serger.

Sadly, for me, the careful steps towards it robbed the item of its impact :)

It might have been helpful to have explained the link - I assumed it was a scam until I carefully investigated.

The post starts “Have you seen Zeeman’s paper ‘Mathematics Applied to Dressmaking’? It has this anecdote in it.”

It’s vaguely amusing if you happen to know a little about Topology.
