It is easy to mark the right side of your fabric with small safety pins instead of chalk marks or tape. After cutting, I put a safety pin in a seam allowance of each pattern piece, the closure part indicating the right side.
A times, it is useful to mark a "back" piece, then I use two safety pins placed side by side. A "left" piece can be marked by two pins placed at an angle, a "top" piece with two pins forming a "T".
This is useful even if the two sides of the fabric are different as it removes guesswork and mistakes.
I keep a containerd with small golden safety pins for just that purpose and use this tip with every project. |
