Method of cutting chudidar by preparing a bias bag (method 2)









Turn the bag in such a way seams do not fall on the portion below the knee.

Draft    is placed on the bias bag as shown in the figure and pattern pieces are cut.

The green dotted line is the stitching line on the bag,behind the draft

Practice preparing the bias bag with some waste material and then do the actual one.

    hi vani,
    my tailoring teacher says normal pant material is not enough for cutting a gathering pant. we have to do some patchwork in that. pls explain that too. I am very eager to learn how to stitch gathering pant.

    I am struggling to cut and sew a chudi bottom by using a bias bag. The second part's link ('Method of cutting chudidar continued') is not working in your blog. Pls check.

    If you want more gathers near the ankle keep the length more.if it is tight at the knee draw an other line
    parallel to the original line 1/2"out side taper and join near the seat.

    Hi,

    I am self-learner in sewing and find your blog very helpful. Thanks so much for taking your time effort to create these posts for us. I have a quick question. How many yards/meters should I buy for a simple kameez and chudidhar? My height is 165cms and average built. What fabrics would work? Would finewale corduroy work? Or should I get knit? Thanks again.

    Mam, I found the blog very useful. My mother used to stitch making a bias bag but she forgot the method. I am delighted that I could find the method in your blog. Thank you very much.
