waistline darts (by Beth Pierce on 26 Jul 2001, 2 replies)
Okay, it's 3:00 p.m., time for my afternoon ritual of a cuppa tea and a I'm working on a dress, KwikSew #2435, that has a scoop neck and waistline darts in the front and back. I am going to cut out the bodice front neckline and armholes as a medium to account for my shallow chest. The rest of the pattern is a large. My question is, is the waistline dart anchored to the bust point or the waistline? What I mean is that on the pattern if you cut the bodice front as a medium, the dart is in one place; as a large, it's in another. I need the waistline to ... (more)

Top Players and their darts (by Robert Ross on 9 Jul 2002, 7 replies)
I've watched some darts on videotape and T.V. and have noticed how plain the pro's darts are. Another thing I've noticed and can't explain is how few bounce-outs the pro's get. What's up with that? I used to use the DynaStar rotating flights, but I didn't like the deflection tendencies, or the price of the flights. I still throw retractable-point Bottelsen Hammerheads, and am pretty sure they're not the reason I'm not a professional dart player. ... (more)

Working on a sheer summer silk wrap. It has darts, about 1" wide and 9" long, in the back and front waistband and two typical smaller bust darts. It needs a lining. Do I put the lining's darts in the same location as the outer shell, or ignore them altogether? I'm thinking of initially sewing the outer and lining face-to-face and turning the three pieces (two front panels and one back) inside out for final assembly. ... (more)
