 Hello you guys, welcome back to my YouTube channel with the Trippin and I am so excited because I'm going to teach you guys today to dark pivoting or dark manipulation. How to manipulate the darts, how to pivot them in an easy way. But anyways you guys, thank you guys so so much for subscribing to my YouTube channel. I now have like 967 or 69 subscribers and that makes me really really happy. I can see that a lot of people are watching my video especially the last time for my pattern making basic series, the basic bodice and now I uploaded my basic thieves tutorial and a lot of people are watching now. Thank you guys so so much for supporting me and for supporting my YouTube channel for supporting my tutorials. Anyways you guys, last time we have finished your shoulder dart and your basic sleeves and the dart on your basic sleeves. But today I want to explain the importance of darts. So darts are used for shaping the butt and for shaping the hip, shaping your your backside, which is your butt. So darts are there to determine the shape and it's very important as a pattern maker to understand darts. So today what I am going to do is I'm going to teach you guys how to pivot them, how to move darts and the different styles and how to manage it. Like if you want to have a french seam, if you want to have a side seam, if you want to have a neck seam, I'm going to teach you all of the styles today. But anyways you guys I'm really excited. I'm going to go to my work table and I am going to start my tutorial today. Let's go. So these are the materials that you will be needing for this tutorial. Ruler, your basic bodice block, your pencil, tracing wheel and of course your pattern taper. So the first style that we are going to do is we are going to transfer the two darts, the shoulder butt dart and the waist dart into your side seam. So after you mark your bust point, you are going to decay the dart opening here on the side seam. So just mark anywhere and the thing that you are going to do is you are going to trace from the point from the mark of your new dart, trace your side seam, your waistline and you are going to stop here on the first mark of the opening of your waist dart. And then what you are going to do next is you are going to transfer the dart, you are going to close it. Make it sure that your bust point is still aligned. There you go, still aligned. So now that it is closed, you are going to trace your center front. Don't forget to notch all of the important marks over here like your bust line, chest line, the trees up here on your neckline. So what you're going to do is you are going to mark the first line of the opening of your shoulder bust dart. And just like earlier, what we did on the waist dart, you are going to close it like this. Making sure that your bust point is on point. There you go, that's your bust point. And you are going to trace your shoulder length to your armhole, to the notch on your armhole, going all the way here for your first mark your underarm side seam. And you are going to remove your block, sorry about that. And retrace all of your dart mark, the dart opening on your side seam to your bust point. Et voilà. So this is your first style, which is the side seam dart. And what you're going to do next is if you are going to transfer it on your fabric, what you're going to do is you're going to close the dart, get your tracing wheel, and you are going to trace the lines. The second style that we are going to do is the French seam dart. So unlike earlier, we did the side seam, so now we are going to do the French seam or the French dart. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to mark a line here on the angle of your side seam and your side front on your waistline. Okay, so again, let's mark it first where you want to transfer your dart and trace the, trace your waist. Again, we are going to close the dart. Oh, don't forget to mark your bust point. There you go, a big circle over there so you guys can see that. So here after you mark it, you are going to close it again, making it sure that your bust point is still there, still on place. Making it sure that it's still there. There you go. So close it, trace it on the center front, and you are going to do it as well. Like earlier, trace everything, trace your neckline, front waist length, shoulder length, and again, close your shoulder dart as we did earlier on the first, on the first step. So you can do it like that and making sure that your bust point is still there on place. There you go, close it, trace your shoulder length, trace your arm hole. So what you're going to do next after you trace your underarm side seam, you are going to mark your opening for your French dart. And let's see, there you go. That is your French dart over there. So earlier under French dart, we started off marking on this angle from your side seam and your side front. So now we are going to make a mark here on the center front angle, mark it. Don't forget to mark it so you guys won't get confused. And trace your center front all the way up to your neckline, making it sure that after all of this, you are going to mark your bust point. So the bust point is the main point of this tutorial of transferring all of the darts, shoulder bust dart, close it again, locate your bust point. So you are going to close your waist dart again and trace it until here on the mark on the center front, mark where you want to locate the opening of your dart. There you go. Let's move on to your fourth style, which is the neckline. So earlier, what we did is we made a mark here on the French dart on the angle, here on the center front on the angle. And what we're going to do next is we are going to mark here on the angle, here on your neckline, transferring the dart here. Okay, so let's start it by marking the new opening for the dart on the neckline, trace the neckline. Don't forget to mark your bust point. That's a one huge point. Close your shoulder dart, close your waist dart, and mark the opening here for your dart. So there you go guys. This is the neckline dart. Let's move on to the next style. So this is our fifth style. So I am going to make a mark here on the arm hole, probably here, starting there, trace the arm hole. Don't forget to trace the notches on the bust line. Let's close the waist again. Oh, by the way, don't forget your bust line. Let's close your shoulder bust dart again, stopping here on the mark. There you go. So this is your new dart on your arm hole. Okay, so let's move on to our sixth and our last style, which is the waist dart. So I know you guys probably are confused right now, but this is our waist dart right now. And we are going to close our shoulder dart to make this dart opening even more wider. So this is it. This is the sixth and the last dart that we are going to make today. First off, you need to trace your opening of your dart here on your waistline, whichever, but I'm going to start here near the center front. Don't forget to mark your bust point. With this technique, you can actually move your dart wherever you want. Okay, so now we're here on shoulder dart. We are going to close it again. Keep the bust point. There's the bust point. There you go. Trace it. So here on our last opening here on the side front opening of our waist dart, what we're going to do is we are going to close it again. Keep your bust point. We are going to close it again. There you go. So this is your new waist dart. So it's even more bigger right now, like before, unlike earlier. There you go guys. This is the sixth and the last. Those are the different styles for pivoting darts and those are just some. There are a lot, but I didn't have the time to showcase all of them. It's a bit of a waste for papers, for pattern papers, and especially right now, during the quarantine times, during the lockdown times, I cannot buy pattern papers anymore, since all of the stores are closed.
