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).

  • I only showed one side for demonstration but pin both sides so that it’s even and designs/zippers stay centered.
