(Postponed) Learn to Rotate Darts!

This meetup will be rescheduled. Hello Stitch is closed during our mandated shelter-in-place situation.

Darts don't have to go where they are on a sewing pattern. You can rotate the dart! Learn how to rotate darts from Beth Galvin, Bay Area Sewists member and Hello Stitch sewing instructor. She will share her tips and a few of the patterns where she has rotated the darts.

Beth blogs about sewing at Sunnygal Studio, where she writes about the garments she makes and shares her tips and techniques. http://sunnygalstudio.blogspot.com/

She teaches garment sewing classes at Hello Stitch, including Intro to Tailoring, Sew a Capsule Wardrobe, and Make the Audrey Jean Jacket. Check out her classes here: https://www.hellostitchstudio.com/garment-sewing
