WST
SewingWrong sides together
Description
An instruction to align fabric pieces with their unfinished or back sides touching, leaving the patterned ‘right’ sides facing outwards.
Detailed explanation
WST stands for Wrong Sides Together and indicates that fabric layers should be pinned so their back sides face each other. Unlike the standard method where the patterned sides touch, this technique keeps the ‘right’ sides visible on the outside. This step is primarily used when constructing French seams to enclose raw edges or for specific decorative finishes.
