In sewing, a single notch on the pattern indicates the front of the garment, while two notches indicate the back.


Dans la couture, un seul cran sur le patron signifie le devant d'un vêtement tandis que deux crans signifient l'arrière?

    I'm sorry, I don't sew myself, so I can't say if "cran" is the right translation or not for "notch". But for the rest:
    "En couture, un seul cran sur le patron indique le devant du vêtement, tandis que deux crans indiquent l'arrière".
    Maybe there's a special jargon to say l'avant et l'arrière d'un vêtement, but if so, I don't know it ^^.

    Thanks very much. :) I've been learning to sew and don't know how to say even the most basic things in French.
