Please, dear sewing bloggers of the English-speaking world, please remember that some of us are sewing for people of masculine gender presentation. When you write and photograph your tutorials for fly-front trousers, please remember that your instructions may be accurate but we can only spare so much mental energy to swap out all uses of 'right' for 'left' and vice versa, or mirror-flip all your images to reflect this.

It's bad enough that going to pattern websites for the Big Four companies gets me 90% patterns for women's clothing, with men's patterns seemingly limited to 'button down shirt, boxer shorts, chinos, gym shorts, steampunk costumes'. But it would be nice to be able to construct the zipper on a pair of trousers for someone of male presentation without having to do mental gyrations.

Thanks.
