265 LESSON 144.

HOW TO CUT A LINING WITH TWO DARTS TN FRONT.

Begin this draft the same as usual. In order to begin the two darts in front we divide the space from G to 9, which makes A2. Now divide from R to 1, which makes Al, and cross a line from Al to A2, and measure from A1 to A3. which is 2 1/2 inches; from A3 to A4 is 3 inches; also from 2 to Y is 2 1/2 inches, and from Y to 12 is 3 inches.

This draft is taken originally from a blouse. In order to get the two darts we should increase from V to 1. 1 1/2 inches; and connect a line from R against 1 down to 2.

The space between 2 and XX is not used for this fitting. Cross lines for the darts from A3 to Y. and from. to 12; from Y to X is 1/4 inch; from Y to 11 is 1/2 inch; from 12 to 13 is 1/2 inch, and from 12 to 11 is 2 inches. Now connect curves from A3 to X and 11, and from A4 to 13 and 14 down to 15. Increase 15 with a parallel line opposite to 13. and finish up 15 to 9 with a curved line. The back of this garment is the same as the blouse. Curve from X to 3 out to XX. and from 2 to 3 is about 3/4 inch This completes the diagram.
