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.
