Hey, I am pretty new to sewing and I think I messed up the grainline / orientation when cutting a pattern piece.

I had the selvage running like this:

__________

And I realized the correct orientation for the pattern piece should have been:

👈🏻👈🏻👈🏻👈🏻

___________

But instead, I placed/cut it like this:

👉🏻👉🏻👉🏻👉🏻

___________

So basically, I mirrored the piece.

The sewing pattern piece on the blue fabric (blue) is the correct way but on the white fabric the same piece ended up mirrored compared to how it should be.

Now I’m wondering if this is actually a problem for my project?

I'm trying to do a summer dress (pattern S9949 - dress A to be precise) made out of a cute flower fabric (98% cotton, 2% elastane, see second picture)

The fabric is folded in the middle with the pretty side on the inside. Pattern piece says "CUT 2"

Any help would be appreciated ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you in advance 🌞
