Flipped over piecing: "flip-and-sew" both sides of a reversible garment at once

Article Abstract:

A reversible pieced cloth can be sewn on both sides by using a variation of the old quilting technique of foundation piecing or making patchwork on a fabric base. This flip-and-sew foundation piecing creates varied designs, allowing a reversible garment to be sewn together as a single-sided piece.
