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 ch 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.
