    hi all,

    I would like to know if anyone had tried the katori blouse using Sunitha's draft?

    Hi Archana,

    I am glad you will now be able to try it out and let us all know how it comes out. Waiting for your comments.

    hi sunitha,

    i 've a few doubts in this draft. Irecently went thru' a book and drafted the double katori as per that [ which if u remember i had already told u] . i've a similar confronting point here. The point Z_K is 2". If u actually remember,we'll have to stitch 1.5" inwards on the line MI. This essentially means that the curve is only 0.5" from the seam line. But, the double katori blouse that i have [ not stitched by me] has a v. clear demarcating curve , which is 2" from the seam line. This means, Z_K has to be 3.5- 4".

    Why i'm saying this is , i have tried the double katori personally 2 months back [ not with y'r draft though] , but the result was not so good. So, i decided to personalise it. But, since u said u were doing it , i sought y'r favour. Not that, i didn't want to try y'r draft, but u see i'm in USA, and clothes are too expensive - and so i'm afraid to try.

    That's why i was asking if someone has tried. When i went thru' the patiala salwar draft , i know this would work. Again, i was confident , but didn't try b'cos of the same reason. I recently made a collar type kameez. The salwar bottom, since i've only 2.5 m cloth of 35" width, i wish to try the cross piece draft as posted by archu[ if i'm right] and subsequently a few points being made clear by u as well.i shall try to post the picture once i'm done

    regards,
    sabari

    Hi Sabari,
    I understand your point but am slightly confused though. Since I have not sewn this myself, I will not be able to pin point and clarify your doubts. Can you post the blouse that you already have as referred by you, so that I can see your point clear? I understand your concern with due repsect. If you are not in a hurry, I suggest that you wait for some time till I am able to sew or maybe Archu will try too.

    Hey, do post the kameez that you have stitched.
