How to True Darts | What is truing?

[@RyunoOhi]

I NEVER FREAKING KNEW THAT'S WHAT A TRACING WHEEL WAS FOR. You have opened my eyes to the weird cowboy-spur thingie sitting untouched in my sewing drawer.

[@TheAwlNighter1]

I'm glad you found them helpful! I'm going to continue making them, and we can eventually move on to skirt, pants, etc. Thanks for keeping up with my videos!

[@wmsfmf7738]

Thank you so much for making and sharing these videos!!

[@mrangel710able]

I'd like to know about Grading, increase and decrease sizes. I hope you talk about Grading in your future videos. 👍👍👍

[@TheAwlNighter1]

Thanks, I'll add it to my list! I've never worked specifically as a grader, but I'm happy to teach what I do know!

[@Rakshak728]

Can you show us how to measure and draw darts? Bust and/with waist.

[@TheAwlNighter1]

Can you explain more what you mean? Do you mean how to transfer darts to fabric?

[@tara_nguyen]

@@TheAwlNighter1 measuring the body and create a bodice to custom fit. Like why some waist dart intakes are bigger/smaller than others and same with bust.

[@TheAwlNighter1]

@@tara_nguyen Usually a larger dart on a bodice means that there's a bigger difference between the bust. You can see this easiest when you look at your body when turned sideways. I have a video on drafting a custom bodice (it's split into 2 videos). I do need to remake it in the future so you can see how to measure on a real person. I'll move it further up the list, though! Thank you so much for the suggestion!!!

@@TheAwlNighter1 thank you so much!!

Is it the same for skirt... The dart intake should be towards the centre front for both front and back skirt?

[@TheAwlNighter1]

Yes, center front and center back! Though rules can always be broken for your designs. This is just the norm.

[@browntrends4900]

It seems You moved it the wrong direction. I.e, as against your arrow direction. Just a question.

[@TheAwlNighter1]

The arrows are for the dart intake. So while it seems like it's going the opposite direction because the dart leg is folded the opposite way, you can see at 2:15 that all that excess is being folded towards center front. It's definitely not necessary, though! You can design your darts to fold any way you like!
