Do you like french seams? I used them all the time before I purchased my first serger in early 90s. Now, mostly for pillow cases. French seams make the inside of a garment very neat.
This type of seam does take a little more planning and a little more work. They are easiest to make with a 5/8-inch seam but can be made with smaller seam width with care. Here are a few resources for french seams:
1. Tutorial with both photo and video of how to make a french seam - here.
2. Tutorial on how to end a french seam above a vent - here.
Here is a tutorial for a pillowcase for some extra practice - here. This looks like a good tutorial but I prefer to add a separate cuff instead of hems. Do what you like doing best.
Happy Stitching!
