Mrs Bowden’s top tip – right side, wrong side
Mrs Bowden’s top tip – right side, wrong side
Right side, wrong side; essential to know when cutting and working with fabric for dressmaking – as we would aspire to avoid a ‘two left feet’ situation when constructing our garments by accidentally switching around the sides of our fabric.
Here is a battered and much loved tea tin from the 1930’s in which I store my tailor’s chalks, of which I have a variety of colours.
Save yourself the anguish of getting confused when working with a fabric that doesn’t have a clear right side and wrong side. Here is an example of a pesky blighter fabric with a difficult to tell right/wrong side. I happen to be making a 1940s style tea dress in it.
