    Measure the waist line .Cut a strip of cloth PQRS whose width equal to belt width + 1” and length equal to the waist line + 1”. Fold short edges P-R and Q-S ¼” inch first press and fold once again by ¼” and stitch
    Pin one of the long edges P-Q or R-S to the strip of cloth to the waist line keeping right side of the strip to the wrong side of the garment together and stitch having ½” seam allowance. Turn the strip up and press. Fold the raw edge of the waist band by ½” and press. And fold the entire waist band towards the right side of the petticoat and place the folded edge on top of the stitch which is used to attach strip to waistline and stitch.
    Finish the hem by folding it twice and stitching. You can also finish the hem by attaching frills or lace. In that case full length A-B should be reduced according to the width of the frill or lace. Stitching
    Join the sides of 8 panels side by side as shown in the figure .While stitching start from the waist line and end at the hem line.
    Finally first panel is joined to the eight panels in the same way leaving 3” from the waist line for opening and stitching the rest till the hem. Turn the each side of the opening twice inside with in the seam line and stitch. (Figure 2).

    finished 1.jpg Pass a draw string of required length through the waist band. At least 6”of the band should be outside the waist band. Secure the draw string to the waist band in the middle by a few stitches so that draw string does not come out while washing.

    Vani hope your Deepavali celebrations was very joyful.
    Thank you, for a very clear and lucid instruction to stitch a saree petticoat. These days they are very expensive and the material too is not so good. I shall try one. How much material should i buy to stitch this size?
    Regards,

    There is a mistake in the above post. Please correct it as .A-D = half waist round/8+1/2"
    and G-E =half hip round +1/2".Sorry for the mistake.
