You sew a normal seam and then wrap the unfinished edges with a bias cut fabric, silk is usually the best, and then you sew it on, wrap it to the back, then stitch in the ditch to anchor it.

The finished product will look like pic. The right side is done perfectly, but you can see where they didn't stitch in the ditch perfectly on the left and caught some of the fabric. A good example of why they are so frustrating to do. Stitching in the ditch takes a lot of practice, you have to sew it close enough to the fold to not leave any fabric showing between the stitch and the bias fabric but not too far over that it catches the fabric. It's been a long time since I've done one. It's used instead of a lining inside jackets mostly, so that the inside looks finished but not lined.
