Sewing Assembly: Sometimes I Make Up My Own Rules

Matching darts at the with the bodice and skirt is a challenge. Sometime the dart gets flipped or half flipped in the wrong direction causing unnecessary bulk.

To prevent this problem, I prestitched the darts down an eighth of an inch inside the seam line so the dart will remain flat when sewing the seams. I start about a half inch before the dart and continued another half inch after the dart.
