Redesigning My Old Saree-Blouse with Trendy Peacock Design Embroidery

Every one’s cupboard has those old sarees, old blouses/shirts, old salwar suits/kurtis/anarkalis, and lot more; all pushed back and never pulled out for at least several years.

I have my sarees and blouses in that very same state. Reasons apart.

Recently when I was planning to buy new designer saree, I just thought of checking on saree-colors which I already have and tick mark off the ones I shouldn’t zero on. This just brought me back to square-one and shake off the plan of buying any new saree.

Instead, the urge to use those sarees which have been in my collection for long became stronger. 

Here is how to redesign your old, boring, plain looking saree-blouse with latest and beautiful designs and patterns.

The most popular trend is to make embroidery designs of peacock, dancing birds, lotus, flowers, butterflies, and many more; on the back, sleeves, near the shoulders and neck.

How to make a beautiful peacock design on saree blouse

Collect few metal strings, zardosi strings, golden zari thread, fevicryl fabric glue, some sparkly crystal stones, colourful kundan stones and many other things of your choice that bring out a beautiful pattern.

Arrange and stick the strings/other decorative material to form peacock’s body. Use fabric glue to trace the pattern of peacock’s body and then stick the strings. Let it dry for about 15 minutes.

The size of neck, face and feathers on the peacock’s head needs to be adjusted to suit the body size.

The tail feathers can be made unique in many creative ways. It spreads vastly to cover up the back of the blouse.

The sleeves of the saree-blouse are another segment which can be decorated to make the entire look very grand.

Make square patterns or diamond patters or just parallel lines and cover up the length and width of the sleeves.

A hanging lifts up the overall look and brings a beautiful change entirely.
