I'm so thankful for this video. I'm taking a college beginner sewing class but the teacher goes SO insanely fast that we struggle to keep up with the concepts and techniques. It's nice to be able to rewatch this as much as I need to.
THANK YOU!! THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IVE SEWED SOMETHING SUCCESFULLY WITHOUT ANYONE ELSES HELP AND WITHOUT ANYTHING GOING WRONG!!! AND I HATE SEWING!! YIPPEEE!!!
So helpful!!! I am teaching myself to sew from scratch, as a mature adult, and this is one of those things that pattern makers (and most content providers) assume even the most basic sewer knows. I literally knew nothing when I started this dressmaking journey. Thank you.
This is an AMAZING tutorial, so informative, easy speed to follow (without even slowing down the playback, which i absolutely love as most sewing videos go WAYYY too fast and id consider myself semi experienced at this point).
This was so incredibly helpful. I am learning how to make my own blouse blocks and was really confused by dart markings. Now I know what they are for, and how to use them. Thank you!
thank you so much! darts are something new in my sewing journey and i was very confused on how to handle them-- i can now use this video aas reference for the waistcoat im making for a cosplay!
This is the most understanding thing I’ve found for darts honestly, I’ve been staring at my pattern instructions for days trying to figure out what it means😭😭
This feels like a dumb question, but once you sew the dart and press it to one side, isn't there an excess of material at the bust? Do you trim this or leave it as is?
The hibiscus robe pattern from mood doesn’t have dart marks on it, but the description says to sew darts into the fabric. I’m a noob and I don’t know where I should sew the darts without it being marked on the pattern!
Hm.. how odd.. I would look at some other similar robes to get a good idea of the general placement and use pins or clips to do some trial and error. Just make sure they are symmetrical and try it on to see if you like where the darts fall. They are meant to make the garment more flattering and shapely, so in theory, the exact placement of them would be a little different depending on your body shape. You can do it! And it is going to look amazing when you are done! Good luck!!!
Ok I guess it was example material which is why I didn't understand the pattern was for Pants but I still don't get everything. I see in many shirts how the point or tip of the dart seems to look odd alot. The stitching in the material seems to either not go all the way making it look like a hole at the dart tip or it just looks weird but now I'm guessing it's because the sewer didn't taper off all the way I think.
No, it is more sturdier to machine sew 2 darts, 1 on each side, not in the middle. It is also easier because you don't have to make a cut and lift up the loop and do all that extra work... It is so much better. I'm a girl of the seventies and we did it all the time.
Not to be rude at all but I didn't understand anything. I'm trying to find videos to learn to sew and I don't understand the terminology, punch hole or what leg meant. I guess it meant pant leg but unclear. I heard dart tip and that punch hole would let me know when the dart tips coming but I still don't get at all what a punch hole is (do I punch a hole in the paper) and why do I need a dart on a pant leg if that's what it meant.
I think legs are the wider side of the dart and the punch hole is the bit your going to have to strengthen with a double stitch before reaching the tip of the dart , hope this helps 🙏🏻
