Step-by-step-Hem & Dupatta
- First decide where the lace will be installed -on the border of the dupatta, the lehenga cutting.
- Then see the lehenga, blouse and dupatta where you have to keep the focus area. Where to apply laces and where to paste the mirror.
- Measure the share from tape-masters where laces will be taken. Cut 2-3 cm more and keep it for stitching.
- Fix the lace with a pin and see if the flow and drape looks right or not. See how it will be shaken in garba.
- If you are seeded by hand, first do busting (dummy stitch). This is temporary fixing. The sewing machine can also be accurate top-stitch.
- Now stitch a sustainable stitch with matching threads. Place small stitch on the inner edge so that the laces remain strong. You can also stitches directly on the machine.
- Hide the beginning and end part and hide it so that the rough age does not look. Press lightly with the iron.
Adding mirror/shisha
- Pin the layout first: Pin the mirror in a giraffe-like or dot pattern-create a solution.
- Seat or glue: It will take longer to stick the small mirror with a longer time but will be durable. If you are in a hurry, apply a diluted layer of fabric-glu and keep the mirror and dry it.
- Uniform Touch: Give pro-finish by applying small sequins or beads around every mirror- it helps in hiding stitch. In this way you can give a new twist to the old lehenga. If you do not get sewing, you can do lace work by giving teller.
