Chudidar pyjama Method 1



Cudidar pyjama is a pyjama with fullness at the top and tightly fitted below the knee level. Length of the pyjama will be more than the actual length .There will be gathers below the calf.Chudidar goes well with Anarkali top.

Chudidar is cutting is done on bias .It can be done in two ways.
Method 1.By keeping the draft on the material in bias
Method 2. By preparing a bias bag.

Measurements

1.Full length
2.Seat
3.Knee round
4.Bottom round

Instruction for drafting

A-D =full length
D –E = for gathers =3 to 5” or to taste
E-F =I” for folding.
A-G =1⅛” for casing
A-B = 1/3 seat + 1”
C is the midpoint of B-D.
Draw perpendiculars from the points G, A, B, C, D, E and F
G-H= 1/3 seat+ 2”to 4” as per wish
G-H = A-I = B-K.
K-R =1½” to 2”
R-L =1½”
J is the midpoint of I-K
Shape the front curve H- I-J-R and back curve (red curved line) H- I- L as shown in the figure.
C-M =half of knee round + ½”
N-E =half of bottom round +½”
R-N =4” to 6” for opening
Join the curve R-M-N-O and L-M-N-O as shown on the figure
Red line is back shape of the chudidar

Method 1.


In this method draft is placed on the material in bias. See layout 1. Plenty of material gets wasted in this method .If the width of the material is not enough divide the draft in to 2 pieces by cutting on the dotted line P-Q ,marking point Q along the line G-F such that A-Q = 1/6th of seat + 1"and P-Q is perpendicular to A-Q. Unfold the draft .Cut the upper part on straight grain and the lower part on true bias. Add ½” seam allowance at each side along the line P-Q. in the draft. Later on stitch the two pieces together and proceed.

Hi neetha h narang
Both the lining and the main fabric should be cut in bias.

Hi Nirmala,

Thank you SO much, Vani, for publishing this on the internet. I'm not Indian but have a number of friends who are. I've always loved the clothing as they're very comfortable, very feminine & modest. Many Western clothes aren't.

I bought 3 sets of matching fabric at an Indian clothing & fabric store as I have one salwar kameez already. I could get someone else to sew them for me but I prefer to do it myself as my sewing is careful & I can fit it properly for my body. I've also made clothes for myself & my family for years.

I hunted for instructions for sewing both salwar bottoms & churidar. I found another site that was pretty helpful but I like yours better! :-) I'm grateful that you've made this for us. Thank you over & over for doing this for us!!!
