Thank you for sharing this! Your explanations are so clear - I really appreciate that you took time to go through the different options for finishing and show us how to make our own design using this technique :)
You're very welcome! I know sometimes I need a visual on how to be creative once I learn a technique, so i thought it would help others :) hope you're able to make something amazing with it!
I am discovering pattern cutting and I have the patter magic. I really wanted to give a try to the bamboo bodice but felt pretty intimidated. Clearest tutorial and thank you so much for explaining how to stitch the darts.
For the first one, you don't add anything extra at the bottom. For the second one, add about 2 inches to the dart bottom, then fold and cut the excess.

Hi I really love your tutorial..how many inch extra did you take for the dart when you draft the bodice pattern?
For the first one, you don't add anything extra at the bottom. For the second one, add about 2 inches to the dart bottom, then fold and cut the excess.
Thank you so much
