Closing dart and adding excess to hemline

I’m trying to close a dart at the skirt waistline and then transfer the excess to the hemline for an A line skirt but I just can’t figure out how to do.

Hello and welcome, @Rebecca_van_Biljon

The best way is to rotate everything from the side dart leg, around the outside of the skirt to the hemline - holding down the Ctrl Key while selecting all the points and curves - using the one dart leg line angle minus the other dart leg line angle as the formula for the rotation.

It’s awfully hard to know what curves and points you have without seeing a picture, at least, and even a picture won’t be large enough to make out the point labels, so if you’d like more specific instructions, please send me the pattern & measurement files.
