Couture glossary
We know how difficult it is to understand different sewing terms. If you feel confused about a term you can consult this glossary for definitions from the Oxford Lexico dictionary and Wikipedia.
| Eyelet: | Ring that is inserted into a hole made through another material to reinforce the hole. It may also be the hole itself, held open with stitches. |
| Face: | The "front" of a piece of fabric having a distinct front and back; same as right side. |
| Hem: | 1. To hem a piece of cloth, a garment worker folds up a cut edge, folds it up again, and then sews it down. The process of hemming thus completely encloses the cut edge in cloth, so that it cannot ravel. |
| 2. A hem is also the edge of cloth hemmed in this manner. | |
| Needles's eye: | Eye of the needle; the hole at the end of the needle. |
| Raw edge: | An unfinished or rough edge, especially of a cut piece of fabric. |
| Seam: | Line where two pieces of fabric are held together by thread. |
| Seam allowance: | The area between the edge of fabric and the stitching line on two (or more) pieces of material being stitched together. |
| Sew: | Join, fasten, or repair (something) by making stitches with a needle and thread or a sewing machine. |
| Stitch: | A loop of thread or yarn resulting from a single pass or movement of the needle in sewing, knitting, or crocheting. |
| Threader's eye: | Eye of the threader; the hole at the end of the threader. |
