GATHERED SLEEVES

NEW FASHION WITH 'GATHERED SLEEVES'.


guys,
        Here I would like to explain the idea of stitching gathered sleeves by using elastic thread.You can buy elastic thread by the inch at a fabric store.
Lets learn how to sew a churidar sleeve with elastic thread.
MATERIALS NEEDED TO CREATE GATHERED SLEEVES.
1.Fabric:you should purchase atleast one and a halftimes the material of the widest body measurment(purchase extra fabric if you want more gatherings)
2.Elastic thread:a heavy or stiff elastic will not give the sleeves a good look.Always you should purchase newnew elastic thread because if it is old it will loose its elasticity.
3.Thread, matching to your fabric:matched thread is needed.
HOW TO SEW
   Whenever you attatch the sleeves in your churidar start from the upper middle(near to the shoulder).After attatching the sleeves take the elastic(less 1 inches than the measurment.).Stretch the elastic while you are sewing to get the desired leangth.After completing the stitching the gathered sleeves are ready.Stitch and wear and be smart!!!!!
