Kurtha#4

For this,I used leftover chudidhar material.
               For that spiral design in the bottom of th kurtha,I placed crimson color on the wrong side of the kurtha and stitch like a spiral and cut the upper part in between the stitches about 1/4"
I also attached 2" crimson color stripes on the middle of the sleeve.

Kurtha #3

          To make this cute kurtha ,I used leftover cloth from a chudidhar material for the body, for sleeve, I used white leggings,becauase it had yellow strain in that, it couldn't  be remove,so i cut the legin for sleeve and design.

        To make this ruffle,cut bias stripes about 3" and sew them right side together ,each piece overlapping 1/4".

          To make this floral design cut the cloth 1.25",1.5",2" diameter circle.Arrange  2"circle first,then 1.5" and 1.25" circle ,stitch with kurtha along the beats for stamen.follow the same instruction for the remaining 2 flower.
