sewing with saris

[vampyresheep]

Not that I have time to even think about sewing at the moment :-( I really want to make something from the sarees and indian suit kits that I've been building up a collection of.
Love this idea of making 1950's dresses from them. blog.tuppencehapenny.co.uk/2012/11/happy-diwali-1950s-sari-dresses.html
However this is my real weakness in sewing, how to repurpose an item or visualise how to put it together without a pattern as a base to get me started. currently all I can think of making are tunic tops, which is a bit dull and would probably hardly get worn.
 

 

just how pretty are those!!!

The dark blue is my favorite, it has a hint of Regency but without the unflattering waist. Want!

yep, I could live with that style of regency, such a lovely flattering shape and the fabric......
