Core Sewing Skills: Darts 101 with Cynthia Guffey

Learn to measure and establish the position and size of darts (see exactly how you can do this by yourself!), and how to adjust them for the most flattering fit and style. When properly fitted, they enable hemlines to hang straight, eliminate drag lines and gaps at the front button closure – in short, they help you make garments that look and feel terrific while you’re wearing them.
