    Hi vijji,
    which kind of patches u bought allready cutted neatly ready to attach or u have to cut them.i bought the patches and cut them according to her shape.I first marked the places on the saree where i should attach them.I kept some fabric glue in the middle(only in the middle,a very little portion),so that it does not move.i did takas at the end.or else u can give them to tailor,he will do it for u,i saw tailor attaching for some girl.once attachment is done u can start ur work to increase its beauty by doing the mirror work and other embriodery material.
    any doudts u can ask me further
