Hello! Easing in is a method to "squeeze" a longer edge into a shorter edge. Construction wise, we could sew a running stitch along the longer edge to help pull it in a little, to match the shorter edge before seaming both pieces together.
It would not be possible to keep the paper patterns flat if you choose to close the dart and do nothing else. If your skirt style is a flared skirt, then you can use slash and spread line that starts from the hem to the tip of the dart. When the dart is closed, the paper pattern will open up with more fullness at the hem and the paper pattern will be able to stay flat. Hope this helps :)
That's very helpful. Thank you so much.
Hi, great video. Thanks!
Question.. the only way to remove a dart is by creating a yoke ?
What if I don't want a yoke ? how to I remove the darts.
Hello! That may require a style change, eg. The dart value become fullness either as a pleat or gathers.
omg I've been looking for a way. You're a life saver!
thank you for this - what do you mean on the last part, ease it in?
