Redesigning a saree which had lots of stains
I enjoy redesigning a saree, which is old or not in wearable condition. Our memories are attached to most of the sarees. If it is not in a wearable condition, then we can’t discard it or cant keep it. So it is always good o redesign a saree according to current trends or fashion. I don’t like to convert sarees to cushion cover , curtains etc.
The below one is a such saree. It was not so old, but had lost its sheen and had lots of stains. This was purchased for a special occasion and worn once or twice.
The saree with stains
I have removed the borders of it and used it to design another saree. The remaining fabric had lots of stains. So got it screen printed so that the stains can be covered. Chose a khadi silk with stripes, to match the geometric designs on the saree.

Attached the black material on both the sides as borders and pallu. Along the borders stitched a small cotton lace, just to highlight the borders.

With little bit of creativity and proper combination of colors, the saree is looking totally different and trendy. Do try these kind of techniques to redesign a saree and please share the pictures.
Here I have shared the video tutorial on how I have redesigned this saree.
