Thanks Wendy! There is a newer tutorial for this dart removal method on Patreon by the way, where I go into more of the details.www.patreon.com/posts/how-to-draft-no-44849226 For a relaxed fit t-shirt you can use this block, just ignorer the waist darts and straighten the side seam and take out some of the ease from the sleeve head. A tight t-shirt I would draft separately!
Hi Kerrigan, you’re very welcome! If you have ease on your sleeve head you can leave your sleeve as is and use a little bit of the ease for the bit you’ve inserted into the armhole. If you have no ease, you could make your sleeve wider by the same amount you’ve added.
Hi Becky, On my armhole it’s less than 0.5cm, so I just end up with a little less ease on my sleeve head. So you don’t need to automatically redraft your sleeve, but definitely check whether your notches still match and mark how much ease you now have
That is very interesting . How would you deal with a larger bust ?would you first transfer some of that should dart into a side seam bust dart and then do what you did ?
Marianne Isaacs Thank you! Yes, for a larger bust I’d transfer roughly half the dart out of the way ( sideseam or evening better CF, so it’s completely out of the way) and the so the rest of the steps. That way you get the easier fit without it becoming to oversized. If you try it out, I’d love to hear how it worked out for you!
You’re very welcome! Yes, you’re quite right, it might well create issues when you change the neckline a lot, it’s really a starting point and you can keep some of the darting intact for more shaping or add it to your neckline.
I used 7cm, but you want to be roughly underneath your shoulder point, so your measurement might be bigger or smaller. It's not to do with the dart as much as trying to get quite close to the armhole. Glad you like it!
How do you match the shoulders of the front and back bodice ? Doesn't the back dart add to the length of the back shoulder ? How do you eliminate it while keeping the shoulder length equal to the front ?
In the video I show you how to move part of the bust dart into the shoulder, so it’s the same length as the back shoulder. That way you can ignore the back shoulder dart
As always, great teaching! Very useful and well explained. Thanks a lot!

Love this! One question, do I have to do anything to the sleeve?
Hi Kerrigan, you’re very welcome! If you have ease on your sleeve head you can leave your sleeve as is and use a little bit of the ease for the bit you’ve inserted into the armhole. If you have no ease, you could make your sleeve wider by the same amount you’ve added.
New technique
Hi Charlotta , do you have to make sure the arm holes match after you have made the tiny dart in there?
Hi Becky,
On my armhole it’s less than 0.5cm, so I just end up with a little less ease on my sleeve head. So you don’t need to automatically redraft your sleeve, but definitely check whether your notches still match and mark how much ease you now have
Thanks for sharing 🙏
You're so welcome!!
Very useful indeed, can I do the same with a bust dart placed under the arm ? Thank you
Yes, It works for your bust dart regardless of where it is first placed!

Thanks for video. Will this not create gaping when neckline is increased or for v neck
You’re very welcome! Yes, you’re quite right, it might well create issues when you change the neckline a lot, it’s really a starting point and you can keep some of the darting intact for more shaping or add it to your neckline.
Do u have to measure the dart first to determine how many centimetres you draw out from the bust? thanks this is great!
I used 7cm, but you want to be roughly underneath your shoulder point, so your measurement might be bigger or smaller. It's not to do with the dart as much as trying to get quite close to the armhole.
Glad you like it!
@@charlotta_patterncuttingschool Thanks so much! so helpful:)
Can it be used for casual jackets?
Yes, just make sure you also add the extra ease if you want to wear a jumper underneath or use a jacket block.

Just need to lengthen the bottom part for a torso block?
Sorry, do you mean for this pattern specifically?
Can u explain dart clusters. Plzz
Please have a look at my double french dart tutorial:
th-cam.com/video/4in1l5yAfkk/w-d-xo.html
an interesting technique for the front....hmm
Thank you, it works most of the time and is really nice for easy fit styles.
Se ven las correcciones muy bonitas importantes, pero triste para mí porque solo se español 😥
Sorry, I only speak English. Have you tried the captions option?
Don’t you have a new dart for the bust
No, this is for slightly more relaxed styles where you don’t want a dart. All the dart becomes a tiny bit of fitting ease
Instead of 7cm ,can I make maybe 6 cm or 7.5?
You can definitely try it. With methods like this you’ll need to adapt the numbers according to your body.
@@charlotta_patterncuttingschool thank you so much!!!❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
No
Sorry?
New technique
I'm glad you like it! Hope it works for you!
