This is the MOST helpful dart video I've ever come across, it's very well done. As someone fairly new to sewing, darts have been a really daunting thing to me-- I've tried really hard to find something that thoroughly explains which darts do what and why-- weirdly hard to find. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this.
You are very welcome. I'm glad you found it useful. This is information I use constantly in pattern drafting and sewing darts. I don't know why more people don't talk about it.
Incredibly helpful. Including the computer model juxtaposed with the flat dart types clarified a lot for me. Also thanks for the great tip about how to pull darts together.
Lori, the demo of your dart technique at 13:15 is fantastic. This is the way my great-grandmother would prep her darts and I had completely forgotten about this great technique. Thanks!
+venicerollerstar I was shocked when I found the technique. It's so simple and effective. I'm glad the video helped you to remember it. My grandmother was an accomplished seamstress, too. Even though she's no longer with me, she's been my inspiration.
Thank you so much. You see tutorials about darts on pattern paper but you never actually see someone explain how to get them sewn in properly. That little trick will definitely help me as i'm always struggling to get my darts aligned well. I wish i could like your video more than once.
This is what I've been looking for, something that shows the darts and what they do and when is a good time to use them. Wow and back from 2013, thank you so much for making this informative video. It has been a big help!
thank you for posting this video. This has been one of the most helpful videos in terms of explaining different darts, their uses and how they will effect the drape of the garment. As a new sewer, this is very valuable information to learn.
Using an extended ladder stitch is absolute genius!!! I had a wow, no kidding moment, when I think of all the dart methods I have tried. Thank you, this makes so much sense. I am going to review all your videos, as I am back into sewing after many years and somewhat intimidated as it isn't as easy to fit patterns now - as opposed to when I started sewing at 13 =) and sewing for my kids. I am going to take a pattern I want to change and use these methods to have some fun! Excellent tutorial.
Thankyou for the wonderful video, about very clear and lucid explanations about dart manipulation.One can feel the passion of an artist in the beautiful narrative about stitching.
I watched your tutorial before sewing darts for the 1st time on a purse pattern. fantastic!! thank you for sharing the great prepping technique! my darts came out great!!
Totally amazing. I"m just starting out with sewing. I have been designing a long sleeve Tee Shirt with Poplin. I don't have any Muslin. A lovely lady at sewing club gave me some really useful tips to getting a really nice fit, and it involves darts. When she explained it a lot of it went over my head, but as she said we are 3d not 2d. We have mass, and to get the fabric to drop nicely involves shaping with the darts. I thought I was very close to having the top done, but now I have a lot more to do. Take care and thanks. Great video
That was nice of your sewing club lady to help. The third dimension is so important, but also so difficult to understand. It sounds like you're getting the hang of it though. Thanks for watching.
Excellent video Lori and clearly you have great techniques to share. Been sewing since I was a child and never learnt the "draw string" dart tacking method, thanks!! I also have an excellent dart tip for you. When you get to the end of a dart, no matter what method you've chosen to use, take the next stitch just off of the fabric and sew about 7-8 stitches more without any fabric under the needle. Draw the fabric out of the machine and you should see a short chain of stitches. Trim the threads about 1" past the little chain that was created... and leave it alone. This is an industry technique that works extremely well and removes the need for knotting the threads. The little chain stays surprisingly good and the small amount of thread will either not show or if you leave it longer can be slipped through the seam threads inside. Cheers! And thanks again for your great videos!
Fabulous...so wonderfully put together...easy to understand and Most of all we can see how various darts offer shape ....so one can select what suits themand the fabric
Thank you so much! As an aspiring Fashion designer who can't yet go to fashion school, this has been really helpful to me and on my journey to make patterns for clothes.
I'm in the CG field and I'm required to know as much as possible to accomplish my task. I was so relieved to see your MD explanation. This greatly helped and I will definitely be subbing. : )
Thank You for this video it helped me enormously! My problem is a curvature in my spine inwards and and small waist to bust and hip ratio ..I always have too much fabric in the back of my clothes unless they are. Made of very stretchy fabric. Nobody seams to alter my clothes the way I want them to..this video so helps me with this task. I feel more confident, and that sewing the dart and pulling it together is the key Step i needed...also how to finish off the tip of my darts... i am so very grateful!
This was such an interesting and informative Tutorial on Darts and far more than I even expected to learn. I had no idea it could be done in so many ways. I think seeing Darts on how it works on Men's Shirt and the various ways it could also be done would be great just like this awesome tutorial for a female figure. I learned far more from this video than i was expecting .
I came a cross of your teaching about the darts I was very pleased ,I still learning about patterns making and sewing. My question is : what is a width of each dart?
The only method I know is to fill in the area between the dart legs with paper (if it has been cut out already) and extend the paper beyond the cut line all across the dart area. Create a slash line somewhere else, at the side for a waist dart for example. Cut the slash then rotate your original dart closed, leg to leg. Make sure the excess paper in the dart extension is folded to the correct side (this is usually the center of the body). Now cut across your original cut line. When you rotate your new slash closed, you have the correct center extension for cutting. I hope that makes sense. It is hard to explain.
I need help please I understand how to make tailor tacks. but I'm still not sure what they're really used for. I know that you can make your mark on the fabric, even layers of fabric. what are you marking?
I would like to know that if we do the pivoting method dart, is it a MUST to have have two darts i e waist dart and bust dart closed on the quarter scale to get a new dart?
You can have as many or as few darts as you wish. You can move one dart to any of the locations shown, or you can split the width and turn one dart into two darts placed in different areas. There aren't any hard rules on this. Do whatever your design dictates will look best.
+Sam Huynh You can make the darts in the lining, just like you do for the outer fabric. The only difference is that the right side of the lining is facing the body, so the dart seam allowance will be between the lining and the outer fabric. Thanks for watching.
Do you have another video that shows how to make the adjustment to the back when a dart is added to the front side seam. I notice the front on my bodice doesnt align with the side seams on the back that has no dart?
When I put a dart into the side seam on the a front panel for the bust, I find that it doesnt up with the side of the back panel. I dont know how to add that dart measurement to the back without making a dart in the back panel
Hay, thanks for the helpful technique of drawing up the dart. I am a newbie and am getting ready to do my first pair of pants. You don't know how much I was sweating the darts. I now feel like I am ready to take the project on. I am subscribing. Thanks so much.
hi thanks for that great knowledge and how to measure the dart size i.e whether i have to go with 1 inch or 1 1/2 inch(width wise) ?is there any formula to calculate it?
+pushpavardhana m I'm afraid I can't help you with this. I draft everything from a full set of measurements, so there are many things that determine the final dart. You could do a muslin and pin fit the bust to see what is best for you.
I have a question, I'm making doll clothes and I made a shirt pattern. It has shoulder and bust darts but when I put it on her it's baggy in the arm pits. Should I put another dart there or should I do something else.
First video where I understood something about darts. However I'm still a little confused about some things as I'm new to sewing and haf no idea about darts. 1) do I draw this on a normal bodice pattern? 2) did you draw the lines randomly? 3) what should the size of the dart be? The dart that was cut near the waist, how do we determine what size the dart should be? I heard in a video that the size of a dart depends on the size of the human. So how do I determine the length and width (of the widest part)? 4) I wanted to do a princess seam from shoulder with bust and waist darts. Is it possible with how you showed doing two darts from the waist cut? 5) What's the next step? I'm so confused, please help
+Raskal Robbin Darts are used to shape the garment. You put darts where you want to remove fabric, like the transition from a larger bust to a smaller waist. You will also find them at the shoulder of a shirt in the back and the back of a shirt to take out excess fabric in the middle between the high back and the waist line. Thanks for asking and watching.
The waist darts are determined by the difference between the bust and the waist circumference measurements. For the front bodice darts, subtract the waist front measurement from the bust front measurement. Divide that number by two. That is the width of each dart in the front.
+MAXCore I know nothing of G code. You can't export patterns out of MD, if that's what you're hoping to do. Sorry, I know lots of people would like to do that, but they don't allow it.
hoo, thanks very much for the information :) , do you know other program that can export the patterns out of the program? and preferably that it can simulate or manage the clothes in a similar way that Marvelous do
Thank you for your educational video. I'm just wondering why darts are triangular. Our bodies are curved, so why aren't darts curved as well? You briefly mentioned shaped darts. I wish you explained what they were.
Darts are just a method to remove material. A larger bust and small waist requires that the waist be made smaller and that's what darts do. You can curve the dart legs a bit, but not much. It is too difficult to match them up for sewing and if the fabric has any type of pattern to it, it is going to look very strange because nothing will line up.

Thanks Lori! This explanation of possibilities was awesome!
I'm glad you like it. Thanks for watching.
I love the miniature pattern. Is it possible to download it at all? I know it extends to the original size. Also, I like the last Dart better.
Thanks a lot for the amazing video , can you please make a video to explain how can i omitt the dart completely ? Thanks .
It is easy to omit it, just ignore the cutout. Add a piece of paper to the cutout and draw across the opening at the waist and don't make the dart.
I need help please I understand how to make tailor tacks. but I'm still not sure what they're really used for. I know that you can make your mark on the fabric, even layers of fabric. what are you marking?
Tailor tacks are just a way to transfer pattern markings to the fabric. Some people prefer them over pencil or pen markings.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE MODEL EXPLAINATION !! THIS HELPS SO MUCH!

Do you have another video that shows how to make the adjustment to the back when a dart is added to the front side seam. I notice the front on my bodice doesnt align with the side seams on the back that has no dart?
Changing the dart in the front shouldn't have any effect on the back. I'm not sure what is happening, so I don't have any advice.
When I put a dart into the side seam on the a front panel for the bust, I find that it doesnt up with the side of the back panel. I dont know how to add that dart measurement to the back without making a dart in the back panel

What should be the waist dart width?
The waist darts are determined by the difference between the bust and the waist circumference measurements. For the front bodice darts, subtract the waist front measurement from the bust front measurement. Divide that number by two. That is the width of each dart in the front.
@@LoriGriffiths thank you so much Lori☺ and what should be the back dart width😇?

Thank you for your educational video. I'm just wondering why darts are triangular. Our bodies are curved, so why aren't darts curved as well?
You briefly mentioned shaped darts. I wish you explained what they were.
Darts are just a method to remove material. A larger bust and small waist requires that the waist be made smaller and that's what darts do. You can curve the dart legs a bit, but not much. It is too difficult to match them up for sewing and if the fabric has any type of pattern to it, it is going to look very strange because nothing will line up.
Lori Griffiths I see. Thank you.
