A method of sealing a sewn seam (100) which introduces a sealant (110) into the seam (100) prior to sewing is relatively simple, adaptable for use in various types of seam configurations, capable of being employed in a mass production environment, and provides the requisite degree of sealing between the seam components. The method includes (a) applying a sealant (110) between a first piece of material (120) to be joined and a second piece of material (130) to be joined, and (b) joining the first piece of material (120), the applied sealant (110), and the second piece of material (130) with stitches (140) so as to provide the sealed sewn seam (100). Advantages associated with the method of sealing include not only its simplicity, but the requisite integrity of the sealed seam (100), which is both waterproof and airtight. By virtue of its simplicity, the method is adaptable for use with virtually all types of sewn seams (100), and all types of fabric and stitching materials.
