Steps To Convert Old Kurti Into Designer Blouse

Step 1: To create a blouse, start by selecting a kurti to upcycle. When choosing a kurti, opt for a simple fabric to ensure a clean finish on the blouse. A simple blouse will also be versatile and easy to pair with various sarees. If you're using a designer kurti, consider its design elements. Additionally, decide on the style of blouse you want to create before beginning the project.

Step 2: Once you've selected the kurti, mark the pattern for your blouse. You can use an old blouse as a reference to make the marking process easier. This method allows you to simply cut the lower portion of the kurti and focus on fitting the sleeves and neck. If the kurti is your size, mark it to shorten the length. If it's a bit long, turn it upside down and mark the desired length according to your blouse pattern.

Step 3: With your markings in place, you can now start cutting the kurti. Remember to leave a small margin (about 1-2 inches) from your markings to allow for any adjustments during fitting. This will prevent the fabric from falling short if the markings aren't exact. The cutting technique will also vary depending on the type of blouse you're creating. For a simple blouse, a straight cut at the marked length is sufficient. However, for more complex designs, you may need to make additional cuts or adjustments.

Step 4: With all the cutting and marking complete, it's time to sew your blouse. Begin by separating the individual pieces. If your design includes a chain or any embellishments, attach them first. Then, sew the bottom edges of the blouse using a sewing machine. However, for a more polished finish, consider hand-stitching the hem. This will add a touch of elegance to your blouse. Once complete, your stylish blouse is ready to wear! To give it an extra touch of beauty, you can also add vines or other decorative elements.
