Willow/Piper top: how to change dart placement

Changing the dart on the Willow and Piper blouse can provide a different look to the garment. Here is a tutorial for how to change the dart placement from the armhole to the side of the garment.

1. Cut out the original dart area.

2. Mark 3 inches (7.6 cm) from the armhole.

3. Draw a line from the 3 inch mark to the point of the original dart.

4. Cut the previously drawn line and close the original dart with tape.

5. Cut out your fabric with the new dart. 

Remember to draw in the new dart and do not cut the area within the dart.

6. Continue the instructions like usual!
