For a French seam, you sew it wrong sides together, cut close to stiitching line, then encase the raw edge by sewing another seam. So let's say after the first seam, you cut to 1/8" from the stitching line, then you encase the raw edge and stitch 1/4" from the previous stitching line.

From my my understanding of Bojagi, you make one seam allowance 1/4" and one seam allowance 1/2". Stitch on seam line with right sides together. Press and turn under 1/2" seam allowance so it encases the 1/4" SA (and raw edge). Stitch close to turned under edge. This will show a stitching line on the right and wrong side. This is what I have gathered from watching a YouTube video.
