Please Note: This list is a general list of sewing vocabulary terms. Some of these words may or may
not be used in this particular set of garment instructions.

Right Side
Right Side of fabric refers to the printed or brighter finished surface of the
fabric. Most pattern pieces are sewn with right sides together, meaning
that the right sides should be facing eachother when sewing a seam.
When looking at the selvage of the fabric as it’s lying flat, you should notice
tiny holes. These tiny holes are caused by the pins that hold the fabric together
when it’s created at the textile manufacturer. If you look at the holes and they
appear neat and smooth, then that is the Right Side of the fabric.

Wrong Side
Wrong Side of fabric refers to the faded print or more dull finished surface
of the fabric. It is on the opposite side of the right side. It is the side that
will be hidden when the project is completed.

Seam Allowance
Seam Allowance is the area between the edge of the fabric and the stitched
seam on two pieces of fabric that have been sewn together. Notches on the
pattern will indicate how much seam allowance is permitted for each seam.

Notches
A Notch is a small mark on the pattern that is meant to be snipped or cut
which can be used to show the width of seam allowance alloted or can be
used as markers to make sure that two pieces of fabric will line up together
evenly when sewing. Keep in mind to use them as your guide throughout
your sewing process. Ex:
