This month the students learnt to make Petticoat, Choli and Tuxed Blouse. The instructor  guided students on cutting fabric to create a flared skirt that fits snugly at the waist. For a choli, the process includes taking body measurements and drafting a fitted blouse pattern. Students were taught to cut fabric and sew darts, attach sleeves, and finish necklines and borders. Making a blouse involves drafting patterns based on measurements, cutting fabric, and learning techniques like adding collars, cuffs, buttonholes, and decorative pleats for a structured, polished finish.
