How to reuse your old pattu sarees ?? ... Some new tips.

could be good for pillow covers, blouses for small girls.. ive made a couple of them for my niece

 

hi all,
you can also make very thin foam mattresses for navarathri n special occassions. this is how you cann make.
Buy very thin foams in the size of 4ft by 1 and half or 2 ft. cover with half of the pattu sari and stitch all the four sides. you can stitch criss crossingly (not very tightly) to keep the foam in tact. you can make two thin matresses out of one pattu sari in this manner. It will be attractive near the golu padis for ladies and children to sit on.
Or else give it to your grand ma (who is keen on madi and achaaram) for afternoon siestas. she will love it.

I have once used dye on couple of my saris and had them block prints.It looked good.The border can be used for blouses,and salwar tops.
Thanks for those ideas.

 

Hi all,

very innovative ideas. I gave away my mom's sareers to both of my sisters. I do not have any now

I have one saree which my father bought me (that was the 1st saree in my life) and it is almost 25 years old !!!

I will do the cushion covers and place it on my sofa. It will look good

 

Hey, ive made beautiful bags like tote bags with my old pattu saree pallus,cushion covers ,and also frames parts of ther pallu......

 

hi,friends, the ideas were very nice.i have another idea.you can get your saree printed either by hand or by block, or you can paint by yourself.you can also attachplain pallu instead of zari

 

Dear Sadhu,

Lot of brilliant ideas. My mom used to say its very good for babies to sleep on silk cloth. She asks me to fold the old silk saree and put it on the floor and put my baby on it. Some old tradition,maybe

so Just an improved version of it. We can stitch baby bed covers or baby mat covers using silk cloth. will look nice when we take photographs of the baby in the cradle, while sleeping n all.
