Saree School Lesson 30 - No Sew Blouse Alteration with a Bangle

When you want to raid Amma’s saree closet but all of her blouses are too big for you. All you need is a bangle and a hair tie - easier when you have someone to help✨

Step #1: With the blouse on, pull one side of the back of the blouse over the other side until you're comfortable with the fit.

Step #2: Take a bangle and position it inside the blouse at the center of your back.

Step #3: Gather the fabric around the bangle from the outside and tie it with a hair tie or elastic band.

Step #4: And there you have it - a quick, no sew blouse alteration!

Saree School Lesson 20 - No sew blouse alteration.

A quick temporary fix - perfect for when you’re in a pinch or “borrowing” Amma’s sarees + blouses.

Use good quality, sturdy pins and take your time to lock the safety pin (you don’t want them coming undone).
If you look closely at the body pins in the after shots you can see some of the pins and it’s not very even - don’t be like me and take your time/redo if need be. Tip: if you have to choose, take more time on the sleeves vs body because the body will be covered by the saree.
I only showed one side for demonstration but pin both sides so that it’s even and designs/zippers stay centered.
