Free Video: Learn How to Make Darts That Fit

June 16, 2009 by S. Denise Hoyle Leave a Comment

Too many of us don’t quite fit into the “standard” size ranges available in conventional patterns, and as we discussed in our “How to Make Every Blouse Pattern Fit Perfectly” post last week, the bust area can be a major problem.  A common issue with not fitting into the “standard” size mold is ending up with a dart that doesn’t point toward the bust point.

Quite often, after sewing a blouse or dress, the darts in the completed garment end up angled above or below the bust point.  When a dart doesn’t point toward the wearer’s bust point, but points above or below instead, the bodice doesn’t actually fit properly and may even look funny. 

Now it’s easy to master the art of creating perfect, custom-fitted darts that will flatter your figure with the easy steps illustrated in this free new video.  Just type in your email address on this page to get your free “Altering Darts on Commercial Patterns” video!
