Curved Fox Tail tutorial pt. 2

Now to add the darts!

Depending on the curve you want, you'll want to use thin or thick darts. I personally would rather use lots of thin darts than a few thick darts because otherwise it makes the tail look bunchy where the darts are (which is fine with the fur I'm using, but it'll look bad with medium or short pile fur!)

SO: USE SMALL DARTS- you may have to do LOTS of them and it'll take longer, but you want your tail to look good, right? Also, make your darts LONG. Probably about 2-3 inches long, maybe more. So Skinny, long triangles :P

After you're done putting on your darts (REMEMBER- OPPOSITE ON THE OTHER PIECE!) Sew the darts into place and then sew the outside edges of the tail together! I'll see you in part 3!

0:33 had me cracking up!

Darts are basically a way of perminantly pinching the fabric to help create a form (example bust dart- fits bust area).

So basically you take your fabric INSIDE OUT connect the 2 end points of the triangle match them up to each other so it will look like your fabric in half and the triangle should look halfed also, pin togeather then sew on the actual line. When your done you leave the access fabric their but iron it flat for normal fabric, im not sure if your doing fur?. Hope that helped :D

I wish you would show yourself doing things one by one.

when you say opposite darts on the other piece do you mean like a mirrored effect of the darts on the first piece ? so they match up if you put the pieces together dart side facing eachother.. if that makes sense. thanks (:
