I transformed the darts on a skirt by
closing the original ones and drawing on new curved lines. I cut into these as
well as an extra seam I added towards the bottom of the skirt. Cutting along
the seam left me with a panel which I decided to flare out; I divided the
section into four, spreading them out and pinning them on to spot and cross
paper. I added a seam allowance and bias grain lines. Doing this on the fold
meant that I could open it up and have a full pattern piece.
Incorporating gathers into a design can add
volume and alleviate any problems with overlapping patterns. I cut into one
section, spreading it out, which alters the shape of the pattern.
I
experimented further by designing a circular dart, ensuring it passed through
both bust points. I gathered it up along the outside edge.
