KURTI PATTERN- 2

In this kurti I have used a cloth material that was especially meant for kurti.

 With the help of matching cloth a square patch is being attached to it. Making thin pleats on the cloth  makes a pleated stuff for the patch. Outline of the patch has been made with wide matching sequin border. Again matching  thin lace has been attached to the neckline till the center of the patch to complete the design. Thin lace is also stitched on sleeves.

 One thing i want to suggest that if you have purchased a cloth that has a border or different color lines or pattern in bottom and while stitching you want to have it in your cloth. Take a strip of cloth attach to it and fold it with hot iron. this will press the cloth give the perfect finishing finally complete it with stitching. Thus you can retain the border or design As this is self explaintory in this picture.

This is a simple kurti with full sleeves. Multi colored  matching border has been attached on sleeves, at the bottom of front panel and neck deisign. For cutting and stitching instructions please go through my previous post on kurta making. Pictures are self explanatory.

SALWAR SUIT PATTERN: 2

This is also a party wear suilt made from silk sari. With one sari I prepared 2 kurtas (one with full sleeves of net and other is of quarter sleeves.) and one semi patiyala golden salwar(bottom).
In first kurta border patch is attached and in the second one back neck pattern has been made with golden strips and Zari lace.
At the point where border and sleeves are attached a golden & black decorative lace is attached.
Golden piping is attached on neckline.

This is a short kurti, it goes well with black leggings and golden semi patiyala salwar too. 

HOW TO STITCH KURTA( SALWAR TOP)

Today I am showing you a simple process of cutting & stitching kurta, don't get yourself confused in tricky measurement of 1/2 or 1/4 of ---------. etc. Simply know the essential measurements that are required and try to start stitching your own kurta. Once you will go through it you will be able to understand measurements and their role in stitching. Further you can experiment on other's . Perfection comes with experience, the more you do, more you learn and you will be skilled. For sewing kurta, basic measurements that are required are:
shoulder width: from left to right shoulder.
length: from shoulder to the desired length
chest: around chest
waist: around waist
sleeve : length
sleeve: width

Points to be remember while marking on cloth:
Total Length: desired length + 1 & 1/2 " extra
chest: around chest+2" extra
waist: around waist+ 1-2 "extra
shoulder: add 1/2 " extra while marking shoulder

shoulder to arm hole length will be the exact width of sleeve
marking sleeve width+ 1.5'' extra
sleeve length will be as desired.
Stitching Instructions:
Opening the 4 fold layers of kurta you will get 2 pieces: front and back.
first of all stitch shoulders.
complete neck with piping or any other pattern, whatever you are making.
Attach sleeves(a-b part will be attached from front side of kurta and b -c will be attached on back part.(refer to the yellow diagram)
