Thursday...
okkk so today we had a whole day of pattern cutting... darts were to be the main focus of today, which I was quite pleased about as I don't really find darts very difficult. This was until I found out HOW many darts you can actually have!, to list a few which we had to do: neck dart, shoulder dart, armhole dart and french dart (this isn't even all of the darts we have to do!)
But overall once each step was explained and I had tried them out mostly 9 times out of 10 the darts worked. We also learned how to pivot the darts out, which I never even knew you could do; its an alternative to cutting and folding the dart out.
Friday...
Today we started drawing out our skirt patterns (of which we will use in a few weeks in construction) we made an A-line skirt pattern and a circle skirt pattern. with the first skirt we put our new found pivoting skills into use and pivoted all the darts out of the front and the back of the skirt and then finally with the circle skirt we used our pattern master to create it.
