Thank you for such a great comment. That is the beauty of tailoring (and commuinty) we never stop learning each other. There will never be a time when I can say: 'okay, now I know everythig' 😉
Thank you, such a cool comment. 🙌🏻 You`d be surprised, but I have quite a few students from IT who do tailoring as a hobby on a decent level. Amazing people, I have met an incredible programmer-engineer who is very talanted & precise. So, it is always a chance you'll get into tailoring at some point 😉
It makes so much sense to dart this way. Thank you for the tutorial! I sew dresses and have never seen this process done before, so I'm excited to use it. Thank you!
I start at the widest, and go to the narrowest. Just running down and past the fabric. Not backstitching. Making a couple of knots with the tread. Works fine. But maybe on heavier garments like jackets/coats, this method is convenient. Thank you, though. 👏
It is a matter of habit I guess, I got used to making the jacket ones from top to bottom. But, the trouser ones I also sew from the widest part down to the point.
I only have an old hand crank machine, so I didn't blink an eye when you finished the line by turning it around and going back over your stitching. I feel like the original sewing machine makers knew something we didn't!
This is a great tip for bespoke tailoring. One thing I've learned as a sewist is to take my time when sewing darts. I've never used a back stitch for darts. I learned to sew them well by drawing out my dart mark and use a basting to ensure they are aligned. I start at the widest part is the dart using a standard stitch. Once I get close to the end of the dart, I tighten the stitch length in increments. That has always rendered me a perfectly sewn dart in any garment. Of course pressing and a clapper is a must to finish off the process.
*IVE BEEN USING THIS* for a couple of years, but I was not running the stitch through so I was getting a "good" finish but not the perfection you are - THANK YOU...!!! You got a sub...!
@@BESPOKEEDUCATOR Exceptionally clear and well-explained tutorial - the thumbnail was perfect as my darts are 90% but just not that 100% perfect as the one in the thumbnail thats what made me click. And you clearly explained that it is my thread locking that is causing the problem - the video is perfection.
@@piccalillipit9211 Thank you for pointing that out, my main principle is that thumbnail has to show the exact thing you are getting in the actual video, without any misleading nonsense.
I have never seen that technique ... looks superb. I've seen strips of tulle or organza used as dart-starters, but this is a bit different. It avoids the issue of cutting the dart open to press it flat, and then having it fray.
Thank you, glad it is helpful. There is another method with two attachable pieces, but I don`t like it, turns out a bit thick in my opinion. And you are totally right, squishing dats is not a good idea, especially on heavier fabrics, like overcoat.
I like a balanced dart! You don't see them described often, and I have to say that the only examples I saw were for coats in thicker materials where pressing the dart to one side gives the garment a very homemade look. Because there is nothing under the side of the dart that you pressed the material away from. I take it that you cut horizontal at the lower end of the dart because the pocket will go there? I don't do much menswear.
Beautiful craftsmanship! I started sewing darts from the tip, w/o backstitching (I would just knot the tails) years ago, with much better results, but I never knew, of course, about adding the extra piece of fabric. I was always concerned that I might be sewing against the grain, but the reduction in puckering spoke for itself. Thank you!
You are welcome. 🙌🏻 I specialise only on men's tailored classical garments: trousers, jackets, waistcoats and overcoats. But i hope you'll learn something useful on the channel, more tailoring content to come.
I sew a lot of 'bunad' (Norwegian traditional outfit) and sew good darts - but this.... This was just an amazingly smart and clever way of sewing a nice (!!) dart! Thank you for this video! Much appreciated 🤩
Thank you! Jsut googled 'bunad', love it, the contrast of embroidery with dark colored cloth is a pure class. I always thought tailors who do traditional outifits are on another level: all the details, embroidery and also there is no way to cut corners or simplify things. 🙌🏻
It is a matter of habit I think, somehow the jacket ones are easier for me do from top to bottom. The trouser ones howerver I also sew from the widest part down to the point.
Yes, it is for lined and half-lined tailord jackets (and waistcoats). I have a video on how to make a shirt dart, so there I show a method I use for unlined garments: ruclips.net/video/nVWB8qzH7Zs/видео.html
Loved this video. I learned to sew from my mother and 4H. I went through a lot of effort and the end result wasn't worthwhile. This video encourages me to try again. Also love the calm tone. It makes concentrating on what you're doing much easier. I'm happy to subscribe.

The wooden block is called 'a clapper', it is just a piece of polished wood (with no varnish!). After the pressing there is a residual steam & moisture inside the fibers, so the clapper absorbs it drying out the area.
Hello! What do you do if you cannot hide the seams/remains of the dart inside the garment (suppose for some reason you would like to do a dart on a regular t-shirt)? Just trim those margins as closely as possible?
Hi, great question. This method is mostly for lined and half-lined garments. I only make men's tailored garments but on ladie's jackets, trousers and lined skirts it works the same. I also have a video on how to make a shirt dart: ruclips.net/video/nVWB8qzH7Zs/видео.html Check it out!
Thank you. I am not an expert in dresses, I`m a menswear tailor. But If you use a piece of thin cotton or light lining as an attchment piece and if the dress is lined, covering the darts, I think yes, why not?
That is the one of preprations stages of the jacket: wbefore cutting, you chalk the jacket pattern and add inlays for future alterations. To separate the actual pattern outline from the added inlays, threadmarking (rows of sticking white threads) is used.
It is very common one: www.amazon.com/KUYYFDS-Graduation-Patterns-Clothing-Template/dp/B0C3M81DSM/ref=sr_1_11?crid=3VK0OZFOVNXH0&keywords=tailors+ruler+for+sewing&qid=1707311791&sprefix=tailors+ruler%2Caps%2C214&sr=8-11 Google 'tailoring curved ruler' and it will pop up eventually.
At 3:48, you say "before pressing it open, take your sharpest scissors and cut it a little bit more up to the attachment piece". It's not clear what you're cutting. Could you clarify that step, please?
I just cut the dart a bit more towards the bottom edge of attachment strip. Initially we cut 1/3 of it, just roughly, and then after the attaching the supporting piece I cut a bit more, up to the point where the attachment starts.
Wow! I’ve been sewing for 50 plus years and I’ve never seen this before! Excellent craftsmanship sir! Thank you
Same here. That’s so cool!
Thank you for such a great comment. That is the beauty of tailoring (and commuinty) we never stop learning each other.

I am not an expert in dresses, I`m a menswear tailor.
But If you use a piece of thin cotton or light lining as an attchment piece and if the dress is lined, covering the darts, I think yes, why not?
Very interesting. But I proably won't sew anythning that thick and with a lining. What about light fabrics? Like for shirts and blouses? Any tips?

What do you mean by "all necessary inlays are threadmarked"?
That is the one of preprations stages of the jacket: wbefore cutting, you chalk the jacket pattern and add inlays for future alterations.
To separate the actual pattern outline from the added inlays, threadmarking (rows of sticking white threads) is used.
Hello what is the ruler you use? Don't think I have ever seen one similar to yours when looking online.
It is very common one:
