Hi Vani,its good to talk 2 u.can u please clarify my doubts about,
1 - y is that my seam for sleeve and the armhole of the body(i.e front & back) r not correctly matching?
2 - i hav drafted the kurta according to ur draft but while attaching the sleeve it was not matching to the exact armhole rounding as i hav taken for the kurta (sleeve became small and was not matching to the total armhole rounding notch).
Also here the same problem i.e armhole and sleeve are mismatched even though i hav taken correctly th seam allowanc to attach th sleeve.
so can please clarify my doubts ,
i'll be waiting for ur reply.
thanking u.
Sleeve must be eased and shaped to fit the armhole Cut a small notch at the center of the armhole of the sleeves. Match this notch with the shoulder line of the bodice and pin.Pin front and back of the seam edges of the top of the sleeve to the front and back of the seam edges of the armhole of the bodice. starting from the middle tack the sleeve front to to the bodice front stretching a little bitif necessary.Do the same thing for the other side also. Even this dose not fit take little deeper shape in the sleeve top
Hi Vani,
These days I am trying to sew Kurtis. No experience in sewing but just started. Did two pieces but not upto the mark. Can you tell me what is A-line Kurti? I want to try this one soon.
Also where is the sleeves pattern on your site, I couldn't find it.
HiLatha,
A-line style, just as the name suggests, the kurti, takes the shape of an A. It is fitted at the top and widens up, as the length of the shirt increases.
Please see simple kameez post.There I have given the draft of sleeves
Dear Madam
Though I know sewing, I learned only through trial and error method. your blog is very useful to me now to stitch dresses for my kids. Thank you so much.
I have a problem. Though I take measurements as per your pattern, the backside is not in proper shape near the shoulder. it is little loose. What may be the reason?
I am also from bangalore. Are you conducting any classes, so that I can join the sessions?
I have given general method of drafting.We have to change the draft according to our body.if backside is loose take the back armhole shape little bit inside and try.
Sorry I am not conducting any classes.I am doing this as a hobby.
Thank you madam, for your prompt reply.
can you give some tips on shirt for boys?
