True the pattern - drafting dart legs, straightening the shoulder line, closing the waistline dart and blending the waistline TOOLS & SUPPLIES 1. Front Shoulder Dart Bodice 2. White unlined pattern paper - 3" bigger than your sloper on all sides SELF EVALUATION 1. Did I punch holes in my sloper at the apex and dart vanishing points? 2. Have I marked the shoulder and waist dart closest to centre front before pivoting the shoulder dart? 3. Did I pivot from apex and not the dart vanishing point when closing the shoulder dart? 4. Did I adjust the waist dart's vanishing point? 5. Is my waist dart closed in the correct direction before I true the waistline?
