I thought this was going to be too complicated, but I had the video right in front of me and kept stopping as needed and work drawn along with you. Fabulous. Thank you.
Thank you for this tutorial, I have 10" difference between HB and FB, I could not find anything online on what to do with a massive dart leg, even choosing patterns with large cup options. I cannot wait to try this out x
This turorial is quite helpful. Thanks for sharing. I have some patterns I really need to apply this to and I'll get to work right away. I observed that the parallel smaller darts method is used in trousers and skirts pattern making, instead of radio darts. Can I use this method of radiating darts there too or do you have a video tutorial on how to divide one big dart into two parallel darts? Thanks.
I got mine from eBay, but if you Google A0 self healing cutting mat they come up :) If you'd like an equipment list and where to buy (UK based) you could sign up to my newsletter list- courses.finamakes.co.uk It's one of the first emails you'll receive :)
I'm about to try this on my cotton poplin shirt as my pconventional dart doesn't look good. It'll be interesting to see how it works out. Hope you are ok.🌷
Hiya 😁 to find out how big to do the waist darts there are 2 methods I use: First method, make a Calico toile of the block, try it on and physically pin the darts on yourself. Then transfer the dart amount onto your card block. If this is a bit tricky, then try method 2: Measure your waist, add some ease (ease amount depends on the fit of the garment- looser blocks have more ease, if you aren't sure then start with 1.5 inches/4cms and tweak it at the toile stage) then measure your block to see how much extra you have. This will be your dart amount. To divide it, look at your body shape- is your back curvy at the waist? If so, the back darts need to be bigger. If you have a full tummy or no waist definition/athletic kind of shape, then you can also make the back darts bigger than the front. Let me know how you get on :)
Terrific! Thank you.
Such a help! Thanks 🙏

Lovely tutorial
Thank you! :)
I like this tutorial. What happened if the bust is smaller? Should I come down from the apex an inche? Does that work?

@@thecreativecouturestudio good morning mam. Thank you very much for your valuable reply. What does mean calico toilet?
Toile
@@veenam.r9802 it's the word for a 'mock up' or practice garment, usually made from Calico. That way you don't waste the real fabric :)
