Then in churidar also, I used to do many new designs. Most of the designs are available now, but even then I design some different ones for myself. And I find that such designs stand ot.
Now, I have uploaded a picture of how a armhole should be cut. It is usually 3/4 th of an inch difference between the front and back of a sleeve at armhole.
If you get Jaya TV in your area, pleae watch Iniya Illam on Mondays at 11 am. The first segment is stitching. Mrs.sai priya gives good instructions. Do not miss out.
Ask if there is any doubt.

Hi Varloo,
Looks like as though u would b the right person to help me. Recently a friend of mine taught me how to stitch a churidar. Every other part comes OK for me except the sleeve. i was taught to take 1/2 of my shoulder (14/2 = 7 + 1/2" for seam alloweance) as my armhole width. The problem is the sleeve wont reach completely when i join the sleeve to the armhole. Any suggessions??
