An excerpt from Katherine's CD-Rom-based video workshop on all aspects of transforming RTW T-Shirts, sweatshirts and knit tops with simple surface-design and sewing techniques. Katherine's been doing this for a living for over 20 years and shares her approach to keeping it both highly creative and very efficient.

Thanks for watching Sithean!
The simple dart ideas you see here aren't about precision fitting, but they are perfect for adding flattering shape to shapeless basic knitwear like Ts and sweats by narrowing the garment at hips, neck and wrists. Given a nice loose knit top, you can put them anywhere along the hem, neckline and cuffs, ending them near the bust, shoulder blades and elbows.
Namaste, Katherine

Interesting topic, loud narration, and I never really got a sense of moving from one step to the next, e.g. where to put darts? Where not to put them?
