Ah! I was envisioning something like the overcast stitch that was the first way I learned to do hems.

Perhaps the seams could be sewn with feather stitch worked to match the blanket stitch around the hems? >But hemstitching can be used on edges of cloth if you do it >before the warp is cut from the loom.
