STITCH KURTA

Kurta is a north Indian costume which matches to any bottom. Let's see how to stitch a kurta.
Now I,ll instruct you how to stitch a kurta like the one below.



The materials required to stitch a kurta are cloth, pattern , scissors, inch tape , marking chalk and paper. Always it is adviced to prepare a stitching patternbefore going on to the real cloth to be stitched. You will get an exact idea if you prepare a stitching pattern using paper.




Check the churidar post so that you can get an idea of how to prepare a stitching pattern. Next take the cloth to be stitched. Use inch tape to measure yourself.

First fold the cloth breadthwise then fold lengthwise. Always see to that you mark the neck part to the folded part of the cloth and armhole onto the open sides of the cloth as shown in the diagram.

Mark on the cloth using marking chalk. I have cut only the front neck , a V cut. Now cut the cloth as shown in the figure below.



Next cut the sleeve part . If your not interested in attaching the sleeve then you need not cut the sleeve.

Next join the shoulders , then stitch and join the sleeves. The next thing to be done is to stitch the two sides of the kurta. Check the measurement using a sample kurta and then stitch.



Next fold and stitch the bottom. Finally use cross piece and stitch the neck part. The kurta is finally ready . Try and comment.



Actually the above one is recycled from my old night dress. I just cut it to the desired length and made a kurta out of it. You can also try the same using your own old dresses. If your trying for the first time , at the learning stage , its best to use your own old dresses rather than getting new cloths.

i just took about thirty minutes to finish this kurta. Only for the beginners it takes some hours, as you get experience you fasten yourself. Its an beautiful art to stitch your own dress. Try to think creatively and design your own dresses and stitch them.

If your crazy of stitching your own dress , then you can extend still more to become a fashion designer. Always at all period there's scope for fashion . Becoming a fashion designer needs lots of experience. Pleople should like your design and you should become famous. Once you become famous for your design then you can earn a lot through your designs. You can also do regular courses to become a fashion designer in a well reputed universities

HOW TO STITCH A CHURIDAR


This is the new churidar I stitched. This is a normal churidar but I've cut the churidar into two parts and again joined them. Now measure from the beginning of the shoulder till 13th inch. Cut at the 13th inch horizontally so that you get two different parts, the breast part and the part below breast. [Take a look at the older churidar & salwar post to have a complete idea]

Just take the breast part , now im gonna sitich darts so that cup shape is formed to fit the breast exactly. Now stitch a small dart on the armhole and the main dartstraight to the shoulder. Stitch darts on both sides of the front piece, you can also stitch darts on the back piece. A small dart straight to the shoulder is enough. When you stitch darts on the front piece don’t bring the darts closer so that you don’t get a cone shape.Stitch darts of length 2 inch so that you get a u shape.

Next join the shoulders, stitch the sleeve and then stitch the neck. It will be fine if you give cross piece to neck. After you finish the breast part join it with the bottom part. Fold and stitch the bottoms and sides.

This is the salwar matching to the above one. I’ve stitched a normal salwar with some gatherings so that the hip part is comfortable.

STITCH SALWAR



This is a chudithar pant or salwar that we are gonna learn to stitch. Stitching a pant is easy.
Now let us see the stitching pattern for a chudithar pant(salwar). I have given the readymade measurement. You can try with your ownmeasurement using a sample pant and a inch tape.



MEASUREMENT
  • full length = 100 cm
  • hip = 100 cm
  • bottom = 38 cm
  • a-b = full length = full length - bottom piece = 100 - 4 = 96 cm
  • a -c = (hip/4)-5 = 20 cm
  • b-g = hip/6 = 100/6 = 16.6 cm
  • e-h = (width of cloth/2)-2 = (90/2)-2 = 43 cm
  • h-i = (hip/3)+5 = 20 cm
  • a-f & c-d = (hip/4)-8 = (100/4)-8 = 33 cm
Using the above measurement draw the stitching pattern. Next take the cloth to be stitched. First fold the cloth breadthwise next lengthwise as shown below.



First you have to cut the c-b part , verify the the stitching pattern diagram above. Next keep the stitching pattern and mark the edges of the stitching pattern using marking chalk. Then carefully cut the cloth without disturbing it.
Next fold and stitch the bottom part and then you can join the edges along the side till the end . Do this to both the leg pieces as shown in the figure. Stitch and join the two legs . Keep some gatherings along the waist as shown in the figure. Keep some gatherings so that the c-h part is equal to c-d part , verify the stitching pattern diagram above.



Next cut the a-c part . In the a-c part stitch a small loop for the thread to pass inside the pant , which is usefull to tie the pant. Now attach the c-b part to the a-c part ,verify the stitching pattern above. Stitch them properly so that both diameter becomes equal.


After you stitch them , the complete salwar is ready.

HOW TO CUT AND SEW CHURIDAR



Now let us see how to stitch a churidar like the above. Stitching a chudithar top is easy . Accurate measurements , some practice will help you to stitch anything well.


The above is the stitching pattern for the churidar , I've given the readymade measurement for the above .

READYMADE MEASUREMENT

* full length = 105 cm
* Narrow waist = 39 cm
* Bust level = 25.5 cm
* shoulder = 38 cm
* chest = 92 cm
* Waist = 72 cm
* Hip = 100 cm
* sleve legth = 25 cm

measurements according to the diagram

* 1-2 = full length + 3 cm = 108 cm
* 1-6 = arm hole = (chest/4)-2.5 = (92/4)-2.5 = 20.5 cm
* 6-7 = chest loose = (chest/4)+2.5 = 25.5 cm
* 1-10 = narrow waist = 39 cm
* 2-11 = bottom = (chest/4)+10=33 cm
* 1-3 = neck breadth = chest/12 = 7.6 cm
* 1-5 = front neck = chest/8 = 11.5 cm
* u can keep the same length for back neck else back neck = chest/12 = 7.6 cm
* 3-8 = shoulder = shoulder/2=38/2 = 19 cm

Now using the below pics you can have an idea how to stitch a churidar top. Using the stitching pattern i've drawn the pattern on a chart. If your gonna stitch in your measurement , take your churidar and measure it with a inch tape and draw the stitching pattern.

First take the cloth, fold it breadthwise first , next fold it lengthwise . After that you can place the stitching pattern and mark the edges using marking chalk. The material i've used has a lining material too so first im gonna cut the lining material then the outer material. Beginers never cut both materials together.



After cutting the lining material , next im gonna cut the outer material. Be carefull that you dont disturb the cloth. Then cut the outer material.

Next join the front pieces and back pieces by stitching them throughout the edges. Next you will have seperate front and back piece. Next stitch the neck part using crosspiece or lining using extra cloth. Next stitch the shoulders of both piece together.

Next cut the sleeve part, here i have used 3/4th sleeve and have taken only the outer part so that it will be transparent. Stitch the sleeves to thearmhole. Next join the left and right sides of churidar. Fold and stitch the openings below hip.


After the sleeves are attached the final outcome , the churidar is ready.

churidar


http://www.ehow.com/how_8451298_cut-sew-churidar.html

Churidar are a pajama-like clothing set that is traditionally worn, in South Asia and Central Asia. This type of clothing is based on salwar pants which have been modified to accentuate the figure of women. The churidar top can be worn in a variety of lengths and is considered appropriate for everyday wear as well as formal occasions. A complete churidar outfit includes a shirt and pants.


Difficulty:
 
Moderately Challenging

Instructions


Things You'll Need


  1. Churidar Shirt

    • 1
      Lay the pattern paper out in front of you. Use the measuring tape to measure a vertical length of 108 cm. Mark the vertical line with your fabric marker.
    • 2
      Measure a horizontal width of 39 cm. Mark the horizontal line with your fabric marker.
    • 3
      Measure a vertical length of 11.5 cm from the top of the line made in step 1. This line will be the front neck opening. Draw a horizontal line which is perpendicular to this point and measures 7.6 cm.
    • 4
      Measure a horizontal width of 7.6 cm from the top of the line made in step 1. Draw a vertical line which is perpendicular to this point and measures 11.5 cm. This will intersect with the line drawn in the second part of step 3.
    • 5
      Draw a line which slopes slightly downward and to the right, which originates at the point measured in step 4. The line should be 19 cm long and reach a horizontal termination point which is approximately halfway between the height of the line drawn in step 4.
    • 6
      Measure a vertical length of 20.5 cm from the top of the line made in step 1. Draw a horizontal line perpendicular to this point which measures approximately 25.5 cm in width. Draw a curving line which begins at the termination point and connects to the end of the line drawn in step 5. This line will complete the arm hole. The amount of curve will depend on the comfort of the wearer. Choose a sleeveless top that you know fits well and trace the existing curve to ensure that the new shirt fits the same way.
    • 7
      Measure a vertical length of 39 cm from the top of the line made in step 1. Draw a horizontal line perpendicular to this point which measures approximately 20 cm in width. Connect the end of this line to the beginning of the line created in the second part of step 6.
    • 8
      Drawn a line between the bottom horizontal line and the end of the horizontal line created in step 7.
    • 9
      Cut out the pattern with scissors.
    • 10
      Fold the fabric in half so that the open edges are positioned on the right. Lay the pattern on top of the fabric so that the long vertical edge lines up with the fold in the fabric.
    • 11
      Insert the sewing pins around the edges of the pattern and through both layers of the pattern. Trace the pattern onto the fabric with the fabric marker. Remove the pins from the pattern and remove the pattern from the fabric.
    • 12
      Repeat step 11 on another piece of fabric.
    • 13
      Cut out the fabric. Lay the pieces on top of each other so that the patterns are facing each other. Insert sewing pins around the edges of the fabric to hold the two pieces together.
    • 14
      Thread the bobbin and sewing machine.
    • 15
      Sew the edges of the two pieces together leaving the arm holes, neckline and churidar bottom open.
    • 16
      Line a piece of folded fabric against the arm hole and duplicate the curve of the arm hole with a fabric marker. Draw a horizontal line from the top point of the curve to the desired length. Draw a horizontal line from the bottom point of the curve to the desired length and connect both horizontal lines with a vertical line. This will create a sleeve pattern.
    • 17
      Cut out the sleeve pattern and place the pattern on top of another section of folded fabric. Trace the pattern and cut out the new sleeve. Turn the churidar and sleeves inside out so that the patterns face each other and sew the sleeves onto the churidar. Sew the bottom opening of the sleeve.

    Churidar Pants

    • 1
      Measure the height of the individual who will be wearing the churidar, starting at the floor and terminating at the hip bone. Draw a vertical line on pattern paper that is the same length. Measure the hips. Divide this number in half and draw a horizontal line of the same width which intersects with the top of the original vertical line.
    • 2
      Measure the distance between the hip bone and the bottom of the buttock. Draw a vertical line which begins at the end of the last line which is the same length as your measurement. Measure the diameter of the bottom of the leg. Divide this number in half and draw a horizontal line of the same width which begins at the bottom of the original vertical line
    • 3
      Measure the waist diameter and the distance between the waist and the hip bone. Divide the diameter measurement in half. Extend the original vertical line to accommodate the distance and a perpendicular vertical line to accommodate the diameter. Draw a vertical line which connects to the existing hip measurement.
    • 4
      Cut out the pattern with scissors. Fold the fabric in half so that the open edges are positioned on the right. Lay the pattern on top of the fabric so that the long vertical edge lines up with the fold in the fabric. Insert the sewing pins around the edges of the pattern and through both layers of the pattern. Trace the pattern onto the fabric with the fabric marker. Remove the pins from the pattern and remove the pattern from the fabric. Repeat the sewing pin insertion, tracing and pin removal on another piece of fabric. Cut out the fabric. Lay the pieces on top of each other so that the patterns are facing each other. Insert sewing pins around the edges of the fabric to hold the two pieces together. Thread the bobbin and sewing machine.
    • 5
      Sew the vertical edges of each piece between the origination of the curved area and the bottom of the leg. Sew the open edges of the two pieces together leaving the waist and leg holes open.

Tips & Warnings

  • Churidar sleeves and churidar linings are optional. You can omit step 17 if you like the sleeveless churidar. Linings can be used with transparent material to protect modesty. If you wish to add a lining the steps would be the same except you would use the pattern to cut two slightly shorter pieces of fabric which would be sewn together at the same time as the main pieces. Additional fabric will be necessary to make a lining. All openings will need to be hemmed by folding over 1/2 inch of material and sewing along the edges for a finished appearance.
