What does the term "Dart" mean in hand sewing?
I'm making a teddy bear for my nephew, but I'm not the best sewer in the world and I'm stumped. What does "dart" mean? A simple explanation for a total beginner would be wonderful. Or an easier guide for teddy making then the one I have.
Please help.
A dart is where you pinch the fabric to make it curve. On your bear, you may have a dart on each side of its head and on each paw.
On the pattern, a dart will look like a triangle or a wedge. Trace the lines onto your fabric, or mark it with pins, and fold the fabric along those lines. The excess material from the "pinch" will be hidden inside the bear.
