4. The Construction:
Construction of
Waist Band
Cut a single piece of cloth for waist band in the
following reference measurement.
Ø 0
to 1 = waist band width (i.e. 8”) +2”= 10”
Ø The
2” extra is taken to make the opening for inserting the draw string.
Ø 0
to 2 = full hip +6” (e.g. 46”)
Ø
1 to 3 = full hip +6”
Construction
of Kali Piece
Cut two pieces from the material that you have, use
the reference measurement for the same.
Ø
0 to 1 = salwar length – waist band
width + 1”
Ø 0
to 2 = approximately 13” (including stitching allowance. The maximum that we
can take is 16”)
Ø
1 to 3 = approximately 13”
Construction of
Legs
Ø
0 to 1 = salwar length – waist band
width (i.e. 8”) + 1” (e.g. 41”-8”+1” = 34”)
Ø 0
to 2 = Full cloth width
Ø 1
to 3 = Full cloth width
Ø 1
to 4 = 3”
Ø 2
to 5 = 3”
Ø 6
to 7 = (1/3 hip) + 1 ½” – waist band width
Ø 8
to 7 = (1/3 hip) + 1 ½” – waist band width
Ø
Join 5 to 4
The Method of Cutting the Cloth
First
is explained the stitching of legs. Follow the number in the explanation as it
has been mentioned above.
1. First
of all take the entire cloth and place it neatly on a table. Now fold it
diagonally from the reverse side and name the corners as 1 & 3 and 0 &
2.
From either of the edges, leave a .5” inches, cloth,
as the allowance and mark 0 to 1 measurements and similarly mark 2. Now draw a
straight line joining 0 and 2.
Then from 1 and 2, measure 3” inches respectively to
get 4 and 5. Join 4 and 5.
Now take 7 from both the 6 and 8. To take 7, you
will have to place the 6 on 5 and 8 on 4, thereby you will get both the 7. Now
draw a line on the 4 and 5 and cut the fabric through this. By cutting this you
will get 4 pieces of cloth.
Now put all the 4 layers of cloth on top of each
other and leave 1/2” inches from the diagonal top. Leave 1/2” allowance at the
6 to 7 line as well and cut the cloth. Both the Patiala legs are stitched
together at this line. Now use the remaining cloth cut the kali pieces, waist
band and the ankle bands.
2. Cut
the remaining segments from this cloth using the above mentioned measurements
Method of Stitching
1. Now
you have 4 triangular, 2 kali and 1 waist band. Put 2 triangular and 1 kali
piece together and the other set together. Both the sets will form one leg.
2. Now
stitch the 3 pieces of both the legs neatly.
3. Now
cut the ankle bands from the bottom of the stitched legs. In the diagram it is
shown as a to b distance. Make sure that this piece of cloth is 5 inches in its
breadth. Get buckram of the same length and 2” inches breadth. And now stitch
the ankle bands with buckram piece and then to the legs of the salwar.
4. Now
join the two ready legs at the 6 to 7 line. Take the waist band and join it to
the two ends from the reverse, leaving an allowance of 1” inch from the edge
and 1.5” inches from the top. Fold the excess cloth from the bottom and the top
and stitch it inwards.
5. Now
when your waist band is ready, stitch the legs to the waist band taking .5”
pleats throughout the circumference of the waist band. Make sure that this
stitching is done neatly. Insert the string on the top of the salwar and give
the finishing touch by cutting the extra thread that is coming out. And your
Patiala Salwar is ready.
