The Pattern Hack!

Today I drafted my basic bodice sloper into a basic princess seam bodice. I found instructions by googling. Basically, you cut out both darts, and then rotate your bust dart down from a slash in the armhole, then add your seam allowances. The muslin fit well and I am pleased. Next I will attempt to change this into a shoulder princess seam. I need a shoulder princess seam to make a pinafore dress!

I'll have to google that too! I just made a dress with bust darts, and it was a sack, so I added some waist darts (there was no waist seam), and now there's extra fabric in the skirt in the center 1/3. I looked at it and said, if those darts went all the way to the hem I'd get rid of that extra, and if they went up all the way....but I wasn't sure how to turn horizontal darts into vertical seams!
