  • Darts - a Reverse Approach By: Linda74sews
    Darts - A Reverse Approach By: Linda74Sews http://www.burdastyle.com/techniques/darts-a-reverse-approach The subject is darts – one of the mostly commonly performed and easily done techniques for any experienced garment sewer. As we all know, darts play an important role in creating curves and shaping a garments silhouette. And, when executed well help create a professional look in clothing. In contrast, poorly executed darts can make a garment look “homemade.” So, what’s the big deal? Yes, for most sewers we don’t give them much thought. Within a matter of minutes they’re done. But, as I have learned teaching many new sewists, this simple technique can be a daunting one. Sewing darts for the first time can consume an inordinate amount of time to accomplish when conventional methods are employed. But, it doesn’t have to be that way. I have painfully watched new sewers struggle sewing darts for the first time. Where they (and let’s face it a lot of us, too) go wrong is sewing beyond the dart’s end point or short ending the points that produce the dreaded pucker. Or, simply not being able to follow the dart leg properly. A task most sewists can perform with relative ease and precision can take 3-4 times as long for the beginner. This simple sewing basic should be, for all practical purposes, a cinch to master. The objective of sewing the perfect dart is pretty straightforward. Follow a properly marked, and pinned, dart leg to a precise end point without overshooting, backstitching or short ending it.

  • Princess Seams
    Princess Seams 11.310 Page 1 Princess seams are a variation of darts, allowing the creation of a fitted garment through the use of shaped seams. They start at the waist and travel toward the most prominent part of the body in that quadrant of the garment. For example, on a bodice front they travel over or near (within 1 1/2") the bust point, while on the bodice back they travel over or near the shoulder blades. Though less common, skirt or pants princess seams start at the waist and travel over or near the fullest part of the abdomen and/or near the fullest part of the buttocks. Style Options Because the seam always starts at the waist, names of princess seam styles refer to the ending point. Two classic styles of princess seams are shoulder (1) and armhole (2). A princess seam can end almost anywhere— in the neckline (3) or in the center front (4), depending on the garment design. 1 2 Different From Darts To see how a princess seam is related to darts, place the front and side front pattern pieces of an armhole princess-seamed bodice (5) side by side with a bodice front containing a waist and an armhole bust dart (6). A princess seam is actually the combined waist and bust darts, with the curved lined smoothed between and seam 3 4 allowances added to the new edges on each pattern piece. Great Grains Many sewers find curved seams easier to sew and fit than curved bust darts. Princess- seamed bodices allow for a more precise use of the garment fabric grain than darted bodices, because each pattern piece has its own grainline.
