HOW TO STITCH A PATIALA SALWAR

Patiala salwars needs more cloth than an simple salwar. While simple salwar need only around 2 ½ mtrs of fabric, patiala salwar needs nearly 4 to 4.5 mtrs of fabric.
patiala salwar has 3 parts.

1 waist belt
2 pcs. of panel (one for each leg)
and 4 triangle shaped pieces (two for each leg)

Given below is the construction and method for stitching a patiala salwar.
Measurements needed

Length of the salwar =40"
Hip = 38"
waist = 32"
Round ankle = (a.k.a. paicha ) 15” + 1” for seam or stitch allowance
what i hv taken here r my measurements, it is only for reference. Take your own measurements to stitch the patiala salwar.

Construction:-



For the legs
ABEF=CDFE= ( 4 triangle shaped pcs)
AE=DF = salwar length – waist BELT (40" - 7" = 33" + seam allowance 2.5" = 35.5" )
AB=CD = Fabric width = 45" (we will need 4pcs of ths triangles, 45" each..(2 for each leg)
EC=BF= Crotch length = 7.5" + 1" seam allowance = 8.5"

PQRS = Belt (1pc.)
PQ=RS= total Waist+ 8"+ ( seam allowance aka s.a.) 1" = 32"+8"+1" = 41"
PR=QS= Belt length + s.a = 7" + 1.5" = 8.5"

WXYZ = Side panel ( 2pcs.)
WX=YZ= 15" (With s.a)
WY=XZ= salwar length- belt length +s.a = 40"-7"+2.5 = 35.5 ( just like AE=DF)


Method

First take the required amount of cloth and open fully. Then fold it into half in the reverse side such that the two ends of the cloth are on top of each other.

take AB=CD= full fabric width i.e. 45" both layers
now take 8.5" for crotch and cut ABEF and CDFE ( it will make 4pc. of triangles)
now join the panel leg to the triangle legs just as the picture below ( this will b done by attaching triangles pcs. and one panel pc. for each leg)
make 2 of ths. ( the total width of ths will be around 120" for each leg)



now join the crotches of both the full flair kalis and attach it to back of the belt to side of the thighs ( just like the simple salwar) ..and the remaining fabric will be folded in pleats inwards just as the picture below


after its attached to the belt..stitch the insides of leg making paicha ( the round at ankle) 14" to 15" as per your preff.
your patiyala is ready...
