http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong_Kong_seam

http://sewing.patternreview.com/cgi-bin/review/readreview.pl?readreview=1&ID=1044

Both of these are easy.
With the Hong Kong finish you can use just about any lightweight knit or
cotton as the binding.
With the second, still don't know what finishing technique is called, a
lightweight cotton, like a batiste, works especially for a childs dress that
will be grown out of quickly.
In the instructions she states to only use it on vertical seams. I don't
know why it couldn't work on most others. It would seem that if it was used
on all seams that you could let this out at least once. The thought just
occured that letting it out would only apply to simple styles. I've never
had to think of it this way so I'm not sure of all the stumbling blocks
which would prevent doing this.

I'm sure someone else on the newsgroup will be able to fill in the details.
There are people here with a ton more experience than I have.

Hope this helps,
AK in PA

Ok, I'm putting this on you! I have a DD (adult) whose
favorite color is purple, and who loves dragonflies, so
after I looked at that link, I ordered:
https://www.fabric.com/apparel-fashion-fabric-designer-fashion-fabric-oriental-brocade-fabric-oriental-brocade-fabric-dragonflies-royal-purple.aspx

for her, and of course, I have to order *something*
additional to take advantage of the low-first-time-shipping,
so I ordered enough of:
https://www.fabric.com/apparel-fashion-fabric-just-arrived-fashion-fabric-embroidered-fleece-red-multi.aspx?SearchProductID=470f37e7-7161-4921-8181-e24bd3391fff

to make a light jacket for me.

Stash injection! ;-)

Only too happy to do my part. ;-) DD is not sure what she
wants with the purple dragonfly brocade, she wants to
actually feel the fabric before she decides. I ordered
enough that she can have a robe, or a dress, or a jacket....

I can hardly wait to get my hands on that embroidered
fleece.

You'll have to report on it. If it's nice, those are really good
prices. I sort of like that fleece myself....
