Hem - finished edge of the garment.

Overcast stitch - it’s a special type of the stitch which protects fabric from fraying.

Darts - they are folds (tucks coming to a point) and sewn into fabric to take in ease and provide shape to a garment.

Topstitch - finishing stitch on top of an already sewn seam, either decorative or functional. Most often used on garment edges where it helps facings to stay in place and gives a crisp edge.

Leg inseam - from the crotch seam to the bottom of the leg.
