The darts on the Colleen Cape Dress and Top are slightly different than your typical dart. Not only are we working with knit fabric, but the dart opening occurs where the cape meets the back of the dress/top, and is an integral part of the construction when finishing the back opening in later steps. Since it looks a little unusual, I thought a video would be helpful when putting it together!

The darts might be the most difficult part of sewing the Colleen Cape pattern. Perhaps second to attaching the neckband, which we will be covering on the next sewalong post!
Happy sewing!
