Part 6: 1st year blouse exercise - back darts QUTFashionStudio 2023-07-11 | Demonstration of how to sew the back darts. Drill holes are used in industry to mark important information such as dart ends. They are often marked 1cm before the end of a dart point so when the dart is sewn the drill hole is not visible on the outside of the garment. The drill holes on the blouse back mark where to fold the fabric, right sides together. Stitching commences 1cm past the top drill hole, continues outwards gradually to be 1cm out from the middle drill hole and finishes 1cm past the end drill hole. This method is good for a smaller dart like this 2cm one. For a bigger dart - 3cm and up - you can use a drill hole 5mm from the edge of the dart at the waistline for more accurate dart sewing. So, you would have two drillholes that would be lined up before the dart is sewn.
