Today I'm gonna stitch suit set for my younger sister. I'm using this khaddar fabric. First of all I'will take measurements from her dress that I already have. Starting from kurta, I measured length and width of shirt, mark on the shirt that was supposed to be cut. Taking 8 inches shoulder width, 9 inches armhole length, 10 inches chest length, 9 inches waist, 11 inches Hipline length. Then i cut it according to pattern. Ohh, I forget to adding sleeves measurements. So I'm adding sleeves measurements, that was 23 inches length and width was based on armhole depth. Here, I want to tell you one thing here that I really dislike having to join many pieces while stitching clothes, and today I had to insert 2 to 3 piece in both sleeves because a bit shortage of fabric.
Now it's stitching time, I start from shirt's neckline. After 1 and half hour of searching, she was satisfied with that design. For this neck design I need two patterns round and v with long Patti. Round with 6 by 6 inches and v with 12 inches length and 3 inches depth with long cut. Then cut these patterns on pasting paper and paste it on piece of fabric.
I use pins to attach with shirts front piece. I use lace outside the long Patti.
After preparing front neck I cut the back neck and use a piece of fabir and sew this piece to the cutting part for completing back neck.
Now I joined the front and back parts of shirt by shoulder sewing. Then joined the sleeves to the armhole. At the initial place of sleeves, I used this lace to give a gorgeous and eye-catching look.
Then i stitch the sides of shirt and sleeves in one continuous seam.
At the bottom end of shirt I used same lace that was on sleeves and hem the sides of both front and back part with piping.
Now it’s trouser turn for cutting and stitching. I think everyone finds trouser cutting and stitching easy, and it seems like it can be done quickly. But in reality, it’s not that simple. However, with practice, a person can complete it very quickly.
For trouser cutting I measure the length and width of trouser, inseam, waist measurement. Then draw pattern with marker for convenient. I cut out this pattern accordingly.
For stitching firstly I seam the both panel of trouser and center of these panels. And iron them.
I used elastic band as waist band. Sew the elastic by folding 3 inches fabric inside.
At the bottom end I used pipping. And seam the heam.
Then inseam the whole trouser in one seam.
After completing the suit, I told her to iron it herself because my back was hurting. Honestly, I was exhausted from sitting for such a long time. After ironing, I asked her to try it on. Meanwhile, I started searching on Google for stylish ways to drape a dupatta. Once she wore it, she showed me, saying it looked perfect to her. Yes, this was the first suit she found perfect; otherwise, every time I stitched a suit for her, she would point out some flaw, and I would have to undo and re-stitch it again.
Then i set her duppata like that.
And take some pics.
I hope you will like it.
