I used a purple see through organza sari (to which i added beads), under it i layered (the end of) a navy polyester sari with yellowgold embroidery. the lining was the the main body of the sari which was plain navy.
In hindsight i think i should have used the purple sari on the top of the lining (or maybe just something else soft and plain lilac(?) so it would be more inconspicuous and professional looking.
I flipped the top edges through the bangles and hand stitched them down to create the handles, being careful i didnt stitch through the purple layer, so it wouldnt show on the front.
Once again though, i realised afterwards, it would have been good idea to have sewn in the bangles within the front layers and the lining, to give a more professional finish.
I also wanted more Indian-y bangles but there arent any desi shops near where i live so i couldnt find any in time.
But i'm really pleased with how it came out though (alhamdulillah), because it was a kind of rushed project. (and my teachers totally sucked  )

that's soo cute, i totally love it. I made a purse as well, it's all round. sorry, no photos b/c i'ts packed away in some box and in storage
anyways to remove blood stians? i stabbed myself a few time and bled on the ribbon and cloth.
Seriouly, my blood went into it.
anyways, I was thinking of making a thread titled " tutorails"...for clothing, purses, etc. ( just about anything really)...but i saw this, so i'm unsure.
This is about fashion design, but not tutorails and it would be easy to just find a tutorial thread w/all the patterns etc. incluced in one thread..what do you think? Moonstar, should i make a new thread just for that? ( it wont get merged).
