Art Darts
Darts transcend their shaping purpose to become design elements
by Ruth Ciemnoczolowski

Darts are sewing elements you usually try to forget. They're easy to sew but they're boring. But put them in the hands of designer, author, Ruth Cieminosolowski and they give design a run for its money. Ruth shows us how to get the shape a traditional dart provides. She also shows us how to keep the shape but use the dart as a feature. A new twist on design and several new techniques for sewing darts.
