In this sewing tip, we are going to focus on darts. The Fringe<\/a> and Wren<\/a> both feature darts, as well as the Victory<\/a>, Orchid<\/a>, and Farrah<\/a> in the c\/d cup sizes. Darts are used to help fabric curve around the contours of the body, commonly at the bust or waist. We’ll show the steps to mark and sew darts that do not pucker and help your garments to fit beautifully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Note: If you’re sewing the Wren pattern, there are also optional fisheye darts included in the back bodice. Find more information on sewing that dart type in the Wren Sewalong post linked here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You’ll need your pattern piece and cut fabric. We’ll show two ways to mark the lines that make up the darts, called dart legs. One method uses a pin and Tailor’s chalk or a fabric-safe marking pen. The second method uses tracing paper and a tracing wheel. For both methods, you will need a ruler, pins, and a pressing ham.<\/p>\n\n\n\nGATHERING SUPPLIES<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
