Hello Jeeja,

1 and 1/2 meters is what usually tailors ask for this length of kurta. This much is usually sufficient. May be you can check with your tailor once.

Hi Redha,

I am not a professional tailor, but yes do some stiching at home.

You should know how to handle the sewing machine before you attempt to stich anything.

Start stiching on a cotton material because its easy to handle and not very costly also.

Keep in mind that cotton material srinks so always keep half a inch extra while cutting.

For a normal salwar you need 2 1/2 meter cloth which has width of 40-42 inches. You get materials with 36 inch width and 60 inch width also.

Start with 42 inches width as this is easy to handle.

As you must be having a salwar you can use this as a reference for making a new one.

Measrue the length of your salwar. Remeber the length is in 2 parts first part which is normally 8 to 10 inches. this is called as the belt. and below part is the actual salwar. Olden days there were no belts to the salwar but that makes quite uncomfortable to wear as all the pleats come on the waist and makes you look plumpy. So the belt custom was introduced.

Back to cutting: Fold the cloth length wise as per your desired length. Then fold it side ways. measure the other areas (Bottom & the middle area) mark it and cut the material. Or else you can place your old salwar on it leave half inch for stiching and then cut it and stitch it.

Attach this to the belt: measure around 10inches in the front side of the belt mark it, the front part of the salwar should be atached to this 10 inches so you need to adjust the pleats accordingly. and the remaining part of the salwar should be pleated at the back side of the belt. your salwar is ready.

For patiala salwar the pleats should be almost double the normal salwar and all the pleats should be on the front side. It looks good on a fine satin material. You can use your geometry knowledge to adjust the material and have more pleats. you will need atleast 4 metres for a good patiala salwar.

For churidar measure the length and fold it diagonally and then cut place your old churidar and cut accordingly.

For tops I normally use the tops which are perfect fitting as reference keep it on the material and cut.

You need to have a basic knowledge of using the sewing machine and then use your imaginations to create designer dresses.

have a happy stiching.
