Tiny folds of fabric that somehow manage to cause a surprising amount of confusion.</p><p>In this episode, Johanna and Malena unravel one of sewing's most fundamental techniques, exploring what darts actually do, why they're still relevant, and how they transform flat fabric into garments that fit real bodies. </p><p>Along the way they discuss bust, waist and shoulder darts, when you can replace them with princess seams or yokes, and why modern patterns sometimes hide shaping in plain sight. </p><p>There's also plenty of practical advice on marking, sewing, pressing and troubleshooting darts, whether you're working with crisp cotton, slippery silk or stretchy knits.</p><p>If darts have ever felt a bit mysterious, this episode is for you!</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Johanna's dart
