Wrong wrap cut
eowyn12 Advanced Beginner CA USA Member since 4/3/12 Posts: 2	Login to reply to this post 1 member likes this. Date: 2/18/13 3:24 AM After cutting Butterick 5862 dress, I realized the pattern paper had "Face Up" printed on - my fabric was cut in the regular way, face down, resulting the wrap to go left side on top instead of right side. I don't have any more fabric to re-cut them. Should I make a wrong-way-wrap dress, or would it be totally ridiculous? Any advice would be highly appreciated.

Date: 2/18/13 3:08 PM I can tell you I'd never notice (unless I was the one wearing the dress). I'd definitely make the dress. If it turns out well, you'll at least have a new TNT pattern! ------ Mary http://checkmatesystem.com

This is my first time posting to a PR message board, and I'm overwhelmed by nice and quick replies from all of you. It was around midnight I realized what I did, and you know the feeling of being up by yourself late at night with a major mistake at hand (and, it always happens late at night )... Now I feel much better with all of your encouraging posts. I willl definately make the dress and try to post my first review, with a warning for the "Face Up" cutting.

Date: 2/19/13 8:26 AM I did the same thing to a pattern, made it up, but it took me forever to realize the directions weren't wrong and I was backwards. I wore it and got lots of complements.

I was squeezing it on to scrap fabric from another project, and didn't think once about what direction I had my pieces and ended up cutting both for the same side of the top without enough to recut. I decided since it was going to be a bit bunched anyway, I could flip the smaller piece and no one will know the difference. I wore it the other day, and nothing seems off. Except to me, because I know something didn't work.
