Welcome to Episode 5 in the How to Sew A Skirt Sew-along series.  The subject for today is: How to sew darts<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"How

Let's recap so far<\/h2>\n

How are you enjoying the Sew A Skirt series so far?  If you are new to sewing you may already have learned a lot about fabric, measuring, patterns, and the preparations you need before even starting to put a needle to your skirt.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"How

To recap the series so far –<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Overview, tools and equipment and choosing your fabric<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Drafting your custom fit pattern, and all about ease and seam allowances<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Cutting your fabric and pattern matching<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. Marking darts perfectly<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Today it's time to start sewing.  And the first step is to sew the darts in all 3 pieces of your skirt, the front and the two back pieces.  If you have followed and drafted the pattern from step 2, then you will have 6 darts to sew.<\/p>\n

    If you have never sewn darts before, then I suggest practicing several times on some scraps of fabric before getting started on the skirt itself.  They aren't difficult if you take your time, but getting it wrong on your skirt could leave puckers or bubbles at the bottom.<\/p>\n
