In this lesson, I taught how to transfer a French dart drape to a paper pattern. I demonstrated the process of tracing the muslin piece onto dotted paper, marking key reference points, and refining the pattern with a ruler.

Lesson Steps:

• Pin the muslin piece to dotted paper
• Trace important lines and reference points with a tracing wheel
• Remove pins and muslin carefully
• Use a ruler to draw clean lines, ensuring 90-degree angles at corners
• Mark the dart opening and position it about an inch away from the apex
• Close the dart on the pattern
• Add any necessary adjustments to the neckline and underarm
• Add seam allowance and cut out the pattern

Remember, this creates a base pattern for a size 6 French dart bodice, which can be used as a starting point for further modifications.
