Adding a bust dart in heavier fabric
relliotts Advanced Beginner CA USA Member since 8/30/11 Posts: 153	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 10/7/12 6:20 PM Im working on a jacket in a medium weight wool. I'm adding in a bust dart in order to accommodate a 2.5" FBA. This leaves a LOT of bulk behind the dart once it's sewn. This will be a lined jacket - is it ok to trim off the excess after I sew the dart in order to reduce the bulk? ------ http://reddthreads.wordpress.com/ Singer 15-86 Bernina Artista 200E Brother 1034D
