If you follow Evan Wilcox on Instagram you will know he specializes in making aluminum petrol tanks for motorcycles.
He uses darts on his paper patterns where he need to get wrap around shapes. I noticed he tends to use concave darts, which have cut curved cut lines.
so, using google I found that there are a number of different type darts used in the sewing world depending on what shape you are trying to fit against.
The concave darts would be used for a errr, rounded shape or two.
I haven’t found a method to lay these out, other than by eye. is there a more scientific method?
thanks,
steve
