Now let us see how to stitch a churidar like the above. Stitching a chudithar top is easy . Accurate measurements , some practice will help you to stitch anything well.

The above is the stitching pattern for the churidar , I've given the readymade measurement for the above .

READYMADE MEASUREMENT

* full length = 105 cm* Narrow waist = 39 cm* Bust level = 25.5 cm* shoulder = 38 cm* chest = 92 cm* Waist = 72 cm* Hip = 100 cm* sleve legth = 25 cm

measurements according to the diagram

* 1-2 = full length + 3 cm = 108 cm* 1-6 = arm hole = (chest/4)-2.5 = (92/4)-2.5 = 20.5 cm* 6-7 = chest loose = (chest/4)+2.5 = 25.5 cm* 1-10 = narrow waist = 39 cm* 2-11 = bottom = (chest/4)+10=33 cm* 1-3 = neck breadth = chest/12 = 7.6 cm* 1-5 = front neck = chest/8 = 11.5 cm* u can keep the same length for back neck else back neck = chest/12 = 7.6 cm* 3-8 = shoulder = shoulder/2=38/2 = 19 cm

Now using the below pics you can have an idea how to stitch a churidar top. Using the stitching pattern i've drawn the pattern on a chart. If your gonna stitch in your measurement , take your churidar and measure it with a inch tape and draw the stitching pattern.

First take the cloth, fold it breadthwise first , next fold it lengthwise . After that you can place the stitching pattern and mark the edges using marking chalk. The material i've used has a lining material too so first im gonna cut the lining material then the outer material. Beginers never cut both materials together.

After cutting the lining material , next im gonna cut the outer material. Be carefull that you dont disturb the cloth. Then cut the outer material.

Next join the front pieces and back pieces by stitching them throughout the edges. Next you will have seperate front and back piece. Next stitch the neck part using crosspiece or lining using extra cloth. Next stitch the shoulders of both piece together.

Next cut the sleeve part, here i have used 3/4th sleeve and have taken only the outer part so that it will be transparent. Stitch the sleeves to the armhole. Next join the left and right sides of churidar. Fold and stitch the openings below hip.

After the sleeves are attached the final outcome , the churidar is ready.

HOW TO SEW CHURIDAR PANT

This is a pant with some gatherings near the foot. This is also known as gathering pant. This pant has long thin legs so that you can make gatherings near the feet. I've used a sample pant to sew it.

The above figure is the stitching pattern for this pant. You have to cut the a-b part and b-e part seperately and finally attach them together. In the picture below i've cut the b-e part first. As the cloth is not so long we have to cut the b-e part first then in the remaining cloth we have to cut the a-b part.

Now fold the cloth breadthwise then lengthwise and then place the sample pant on top of it like shown in the above picture. You can notice i have marked the outline using marking chalk. Next cut along the marking chalk like the one below.

Next unfold the cloth you'll get seperate two legs. Stitch the sides and join them together.Next in the remaining cloth we have to cut the a-b part.

In the pattern the b-d part is longer than the b-g part so we have to keep gatherings in the b-d part and make it to the equal length of b-g part( refer pattern). Thats wat i have done and made both joining parts of equal diameter. You can see some gatherings in the b-d part. These gatherings will come around the hip so that the cloth will comfortably fit your hip.

Next you can join them. Leave a small loop in the a-c part to pass the thread. After joining the pant is completed.

STITCH SALWAR

This is a chudithar pant or salwar that we are gonna learn to stitch. Stitching a pant is easy.Now let us see the stitching pattern for a chudithar pant(salwar). I have given the readymade measurement. You can try with your own measurement using a sample pant and a inch tape.

MEASUREMENT full length = 100 cm hip = 100 cm bottom = 38 cm a-b = full length = full length - bottom piece = 100 - 4 = 96 cm a -c = (hip/4)-5 = 20 cm b-g = hip/6 = 100/6 = 16.6 cm e-h = (width of cloth/2)-2 = (90/2)-2 = 43 cm h-i = (hip/3)+5 = 20 cm

a-f & c-d = (hip/4)-8 = (100/4)-8 = 33 cm

Using the above measurement draw the stitching pattern. Next take the cloth to be stitched. First fold the cloth breadthwise next lengthwise as shown below.

First you have to cut the c-b part , verify the the stitching pattern diagram above. Next keep the stitching pattern and mark the edges of the stitching pattern using marking chalk. Then carefully cut the

cloth without disturbing it.

Next fold and stitch the bottom part and then you can join the edges along the side till the end . Do this to both the leg pieces as shown in the figure. Stitch and join the two legs . Keep some gatherings along the waist as shown in the figure. Keep some gatherings so that the c-h part is equal to c-d part , verify the stitching pattern diagram above.

Next cut the a-c part . In the a-c part stitch a small loop for the thread to pass inside the pant , which is usefull to tie the pant. Now attach the c-b part to the a-c part ,verify the stitching pattern above. Stitch them properly so that both diameter becomes equal.

After you stitch them , the complete salwar is ready.
