This method is new for me and after watching a couple of tutorial Finally I found this one as the best. Thank you very much!
The dart pivot technique has always confused me! But your explanation was so good, I understand it now. Will watch again. Thankyou so much.
Hai... its so easy to learn... can u pls add a video how to make bodice with waist dart alone...
Awesome video. It really helped me understand the pivot method. Thank you!
Finally I found this one as the best
Thank u❤️❤️😭
the pivot method was really confusing for me, this helped a lot!
Can u explain how to make miniature blocks or patterns, I have seen people use it but I don't know how to make one myself. Can u do a video on it?
thank you very much for the awesome tutorial. please would make more tutorials
Awesome video ♥️
I am enjoying your instructions. Concise and easy to follow. I am not confident to create my own patterns yet, but I am interested in using some of my existing commercial patterns to make them more specific to my size. Can you explain how to use a sloper over top (superimposed) of a commercial pattern. I always need to to a FBA. Thanks.
Margie, that sounds like a great idea. Other than the FBA, what is the major fit issue you experience with commercial pattern?
Not much, I'm short (5'3") so I need to shorten most patterns. The most common issue is that when I purchase a commercial pattern according to my bust measurement, it is too large in other areas, so I've read that I should use a smaller size and to a FBA, but I'm not terribly confident to do this.
I'm the same height, so I totally understand that! I would agree, it's probably easier to do a Full bust adjustment than it is to tailor the rest of the garment to your body. Did you watch this video ( th-cam.com/video/dFL-SIFW6PQ/w-d-xo.html ) . . . What I would recommend, is to trace off the bodice onto another sheet of paper and practice the FBA. Then, sew a muslin to see how it has turned out. This way, you won't damage the original pattern. You'r other option is to blend sizes. So, use a larger size on top and smaller on bottom, and blend the two pattern together. Feel free to e-mail me at ruth (at) isntthatsew.com . . .
How do I add 2 darts to a dartless bodice? One at the side seam and one at the waist?
I watched your video on how to add a dart to dartless pattern but am trying to find out how to create two separate darts like you showed here at the beginning of the video. Do you pivot the one dart halfway to create another dart on the shoulder at half the width of the original dart?
Hey Megan, I commented twice on your other post...Can you tell me if you are drafting this bodice yourself or is this an existing pattern?
awesome and very self explanatory, however, I am a beginner (9 months); and self teaching. (unfortunately, I have not found any (reputable, quality) sewing classes in georgia.) I am having trouble creating a standard bodice block. how do I create a bodice block (details)? how is the apex determined (measured) on the bodice draft pattern? what are the correct measurements for a dart? and where should it begin (from any angle)? Thanks in advance for answering all four (4) questions.
Hi there! If you do google or youtube search you'll come up with hundreds of tutorials on drafting a bodice. I have a video and blog post of drafting a knit bodice. You find the apex by measuring from the HPS (high point of shoulder) to the "apex" or nipple. You'll need to determine the distance that the apex is from the side seam as well. Then, just plot the two points. Darts can be any size...there is not one right answer. Usually, the bigger the bust - the larger the dart. Hope that helps!
Thanks for sharing! This tutorial is super amazing!
You're so welcome! It's a handy technique to have in your arsenal!
Really useful 🙏🏽
Am able to male either waist dart or side seam dart... but not both... pls rply
I'm sorry. I do not understand the question.
if you measure the top and side dart before this and thrn measure the new dart, will it be the same width?
Not always. And that's okay, the garment should still fit the same.
And what if you want 2 darts , for example a waist and a side dart?
You can use dart manipulation to split up the existing dart....OR you can slash and spread to add a new dart...
Fabulous!
Thank you!
I need help ELIMINATING a French Dart, and turning it into just a side bust dart. I do not need the body of my straight bodice blouse pattern to fit tightly at the waist. Because a French dart is a combination of a body dart and a side bust dart, how would I eliminate the french dart to make it just a side bust dart?
You can rotate it to the side just like in the video...I recommend trying in on small scale first. Once you're comfortable, then you can translate that to the full size pattern.
how to adjust it to the back bodice?
Are you trying to move the darts on the back bodice? If you're trying to manipulate the darts in the same way, use the same exact technique as demonstrated in the video. It works for both front and back!
