How I use left over fabrics
I’m sharing a few pictures of shirts and kurtas that were tailored for Nehal using left over fabrics of my salwar suits/kurtis (be it bright shades of Mangalgiri cotton with zari borders, Kalamkari, crepes or silk). For a 4-5 yr old, a little over one meter of material is enough to tailor a shirt or kurta. I have a close friend who designs Nehal’s and my clothes and understands exactly what I want and never wastes any material during the stitching process.

Love the lime green colour fabric with block prints….where do u buy them from? I’m totally lost without a good tailor here
That one is a favorite of mine.:). Most of the materials are picked at local exhibitions, all Mangalagiri materials are from Mangalagiri and a few I bought at Hyderabad.

Jahnavi, she’s a good friend who used to run her own tailoring unit. She’s not running it anymore and if at all time permits she does a few of my clothes because she cannot say ‘no’ to me.:)
