Read MoreI learned so very much in this course! Darts are as cool as a magic trick! They can be “deployed” to different areas of the pattern and move the fabric into wonderful design shapes! I have sewn my whole life and never understood how darts function in a garment! Glenda the Good Stitch has done it again! Thanks!
