How to stitch Salwar kameez

How to stitch Salwar kameez

Finally I have come up with my dream article "How to Sew Salwar kameez", a more demanding and searching article on net. I'm very pleasure to release this project for my lovable visitors and Followers. First of all I want to thank you all, because you’re the people made me to do this.

 Why I am giving such a build up is, for me sewing itself a big challenge.  And taking step by step photograph is too tough. After that, editing each photograph, adding instruction label, writing content, adding pictures in sequence bla bla….  I hope as a sewing people you know it. But I fully enjoyed while making this article.

So please read, Share and comment are the only way to give credits to me. Thank you

And do the necessary deep cut for front neck and front arm separately.

 Do the Cutting for sleeve

Open the fold. Place both side of sleeve one over the other. And do the ‘s’ cut.

Make two pieces of cloth [measurement: neck’s width and height] for neck line stitching

Place front part over the back part facing inside (I have highlighted the neck line piece edge in dotted line)

Left shoulder: Pull the neckline pieces of back body and place it on front body's shoulder (see figure: for visibility i have changed the cloth color).

Now do the sewing by joining the back and front shoulder (do double sewing)
