When you learn to sew, you meet darts early on.
They’re supposed to shape curves, “make the dress fit nicely,” keep fabric under control. But I asked myself: Why invest so much effort squeezing the body into a fixed grid?
I decided to stop using classic darts.
Not because I’ve abandoned shape – quite the opposite. My clothes are fitted. But they follow different rules.
I work with shifted shoulder points, gussets, and new measuring spots that respond to the living lines of your body instead of some idealised axis. The result is a pattern that flows with you rather than correcting you.
Because, to me, clothing isn’t a correction – it’s a conversation with your body. Where your body softens, the line may soften. Where it rises, the seam may follow. All without coercion.
Inside my foundational course, “The Soulcut Method,” I guide you step by step to create your own base pattern – dart‑free but deeply logical in energy and anatomy.
What emerges is a blueprint that truly belongs to you. Not altered, but consciously built.
Measuring, then, is not prescribing.
And a good pattern doesn’t make you smaller – it lets you come home to yourself.
