Darts...Darts...Darts

From this lesson I have learnt how to model on the stand. I have experimented with darts on the stand. It was actually easy when you get use to it so I had more time to play around with the fabric. I you want to know how to make it, keep reading.

First darts experiment

Step 1- Take you fabric and pin it on your mannequin making sure that the grain line is parallel the centre front.

Step 2- Pin the fabric on the neckline, cut the excess fabric leaving 1cm seam allowance then snip the edges so that the fabric stays flat.

Step 3- Find the centre of the bust and start pinning the fabric upto the shoulder seam.

Step 4- Trim off the excess fabric on the shoulder seam leaving 1cm seam allowance.

Step 5- from the centre of the bust, pin the fabric down to the waist.

Step 6- Cut around the arm hole with 1cm seam allowance.

Last but not the least, Trim off the fabric around the side seam and the waist with 1cm seam allowance.

The image above is the finished darts that I made using this simple steps.

Second attempt.
