How are you? how's the learning process going? interesting? stressful? i know stressfull will be top on your list but not to worry the stressful learning hours will soon end and become enjoyable. This post is just a quick one on how to sew a basic blouse dart.

Back part

At the bottom hem measure 4 inches (some take 4.5 inches depending on their size) and make a horizontal marking

Form your shoulders measure 9 inches and make a vertical marking

From the center measure 4 inches again to that point where the 9 inches measurement stops and make a horizontal marking again. This is just to make your measurements precise. Once you are done with this pick and sew. Repeat the above steps for the other side of the piece.

It should be something like this
