Today's competition is called, "HWC Competition #137 Week 7: "Let's get creative". So, without further ado, let's get down to business.

Material's
✍️ A saree
✍️Ribbon
✍️Scissors
✍️Chalk

Now I will try to explain how to make a lehenga by cutting and stitching a saree step by step in a very beautiful way.

First I will take the correct measurements of a person. Then I will take the measurements of the petticoat and the coat of the lehenga.

Now I will first take the measurements of the petticoat of the lehenga correctly

✍️ Hips-34"
✍️ Waist-24"

Now I will cut according to the measurements.

✂️ Step 1 ✂️
I cut two and a half yards of cloth from a saree I took it. Now I will lay the cloth on the floor and measure 32 inches from the bottom to the top of the cloth, which is the size of the hem and 1 inch extra for sewing, which will go inside the waistband. I will cut the cloth for the waistband 5 inches wide and 28 inches long.

✍️ Hem-18 inches
✍️ Body-24 inches
✍️ Chest-23 inches
✍️ Waist-24 inches
✍️ Sleeves-7 inches
✍️ Sleeves-7 inches

Now I will cut the coats according to these measurements.

✂️ Step 3 ✂️
In this step, I will lay the cloth on the floor well, then draw marks on the cloth according to the measurements. First I will take the neck of the putt 5 inches and take the neck 2 inches, take the armpit 5 inches, the main body 24 inches plus 3 inches more and take 1 inch more for sewing.
Finally, I will take 23 inches plus 2 inches and one inch for sewing. Now I will take the waist 24 inches plus 3 inches one inch for sewing. Now my waist cutting is complete.
