Kurti / Straight - Cut Kameez Drafting tutorial

It is easy to make a kurti .Here you can learn how to make a kurti through drafting. 

      

     Pattern Drafting

   

     A-B;      C-D                 =              1/4  of  Chest  + 1.5"or 2"

     A-C;      B-D                  =              length  +1 .5" or 1"

     A-E ;      H-I                  =              1/12 of  chest +1/4" 

     A- F                               =              1/2 of shoulder

     B-L;       F-O                 =              1/4 of chest - 1.5 inch.

     A- H                              =               front neck 1/6  

     A- G                              =               back neck  ( the deep of the front and back neck as desired)

     M-N                              =              1/2 inch

     A-P                               =               waist length  ( below the  Breast) ,   

     P-Q                               =               1/4 of waist +1.5" 

     A-R                                =              hip length

     R-S                                =              1/4 of hip +1.5"

     First you mark the shape of armhole "F-M-L". this is back armhole.

     Next take 1/2"   from "M" inside and mark give a shape "N"as in fig front armhole.

    Shoulder drop ( F-J)         =   Mark 1/2"  

  

    Cutting

  

    Give a shape and cut along  "D-L-M-F and  J to E".

    You have to cut the back neck  "G-E". and front neck  "H-E" separately

    Back armhole shape "L-M-F" 

    Now Cut the front armhole shape separately that is L ,N,F.            

   Sleeve:-

  

   A-B ,C-D                            take the same armhole measurement as in kurti or sleeve width +1.5"

   A-C                                     length +  1.5" 

   B -E                                    1/12 of chest  

   K -H                                   inside 1/2".

   C - G                                  half of sleeve round + 1"

   Draw the shape and cut along the outside marking (G -E -K -F)to obtain the shape of the sleeve.

   After getting the shape again you have to cut the front sleeve depth  that is "F-H -E" as front        armhole depth.

   These measurements are including seam allowances.
