An outside seam refers to the external stitching or joining of two pieces of fabric or material, typically used in garments, upholstery, or other textile applications. This type of seam is visible on the outside of the item, often utilized for decorative purposes or to add strength to the construction. Outside seams can also contribute to the overall aesthetic of a piece, highlighting design features or creating a distinct style.

Do the Simplicity Patterns consider the inseam on the pattern when you cut them out or do you need to leave a little extra fabric on the outside of the pattern when you apply it to the fabric?
I believe you are asking about a "seam allowance". ("Inseam" is the measurement of the seam that runs down the inside of your leg -- for example, men's pants that are labeled 32x30 means the waist is 32 inches and the inseam (from crotch to hem on the inside of the leg) is 30 inches.) To answer your question, all commercially printed patterns include a seam allowance. They are designed for you to cut on the outside solid line, and then stitch the pieces together with the seam width indicated on the pattern piece (usually 5/8 inch).
