Vanitha, there are three types of salwar, plain salwar, kalidar or patiayala salwar and dhoti salwar. If u r asking for flared top with umbrella cut than i can explain. fold the fabric exact square and refold it that means it is 4 layer of fabric. In one corner you mark 1/6th of chest on both lines of angle. Choose the corner in such a way that both the sides u get folded and on waist end and bottom end only it will be opened. From 1/6th chest mark full length of top--waist length+1" for bottom fold. Mark on the radius at bottom from waist marking. Draw a curve by joining all the marks.

11-12 = ½” inside for pocket 1-13 = ½ chest – 2”for bottom flair
Join 10-12-13 as per shape. 13-13a = 1 ½” upside for shape
SLEEVES

Length of the stripes is neck + 1”. One strip is 1 ½” width and another is 2 ½” width.
Cut one front, one back, two sleeves, two pockets, two stripes for button and two pieces of collar. Cut one buckram piece of collar without seam allowance.
STITCHING INSTRUCTION
Cut a slit at the centre front on 8-9 for front open. Join wide strip on right hand side of front. Press the seam and fold and machine. Place the narrow strip on the wrong side of the part, so that after stitching the strip will come on the top of the right side. After joining press the seam and fold on the edges. At the point 9 fold as a V shape and hem neatly. Join front and back shoulders. Place the two pieces of collar by facing right to right side and place buckram on the top and join all three pieces together on 0-4-2-6. Press the seam and turn so that buckram piece will hide inside. Stitch on the edges of the collar on right side for finishing. Fold the edges of one side of the collar and stitch. Join the other side of the collar to kurta by matching the centre on the back. Press the seam and stitch on the other part of collar by keeping seam allowance inside. Join two side pockets (see chapter 2) fold the bottom edges of the sleeves and stitch or hem. Join two sleeves. Join sides of the kurta. Fold the edges of side open and bottom flair and stitch. Mark the buttonholes on front open and stitch. Stitch buttons on front to finish the kurta.

sandhya, just see attachment for the pattern drafting and draw same way only leave pocket part and instead of collar draw simple round neck shape and finish it by stitching same shape of fabric strip or cross strip. that will be comfortable for a young one. I think his chest size will be 18" or 20" so measure it and calculate other measurements according to that. Front open will be also 3"only. Use soft cotton fabric for small kid.
thanx
