- In this video you will learn how to mark and sew darts on a skirt or pants. Here you find tips for beginners how to make the darts step by step.
If you want to sew a skirt or pants you should be able to do the darts. Along the waistline of skirt or trouser you need to sew two darts on front and two darts on back.
In this video tutorial you know how to sew the darts using test piece of fabric.
At beginning you need to draft darts with chalk. Mark directly on the fabric the width and length your darts according the calculations of your garment pattern.
Usual length of front dart for skirt is about 14-15 cm, the width is 3 cm.
Now you need to fold the fabric inside out along the center line, as shown in this video.
Tip for beginners: Using the baste stitches you need fasten the dart along marking line.
I offer you to use one sewing trick when you sew the darts. Do not trim the thread near the knot. Take a needle with a large eye and insert both ends a thread in fabric, as shown.
Now you can trim the thread with scissors. Using this trick you can hide the ends of threads into fabric.
Perfect video. Straight to the point, no messing around/annoying intro. Just shows me what I need to know

Almost perfect video. I would press the darts away from the centre towards the edges as it reduces the bulk in the middle area.

If you're taking in a skirt with the use of darts, do you cut off the excess fabric within the sewn dart after?
i’ve been wearing all of my loose-waisted skirts for months and it’s so annoying; i’m finally ready to tackle the project after watching this. is it okay to carefully cut that excess fabric instead of ironing?
No, at least I have never seen such technology in any product
how do you know where the dart ti goes!!!
In this video you will find the answer to your question.

question, can I cut the excess on the inside of the dart??
DO NOT CUT OFF under any circumstances
@@sewway thank you, I’ve always been curious
@@sewway and why not
How will I know which measurement to take
It depends on the size of the skirt or trousers; the average dart length is 12 - 14 cm. The width is 3 cm.
Thank you
How am I supposed to know how big I should draw on the darts
It depends on your height, waist size and other factors. In this video I am showing the technology only.

They make clothes fit better they’re usually placed in areas that are curved so fabric can lay properly:)
