About this course
Cutting is the point of no return. Once the scissors go through the cloth there is no undoing it — so this course is about getting the paper right first, then cutting with confidence.
Gaani takes you from a set of measurements to a full paper pattern, drafted the way tailors actually draft: front and back body block, checked and cleaned up, then transferred onto brown paper so you have a sturdy pattern you can reuse for every suit you make from now on.
Then you cut the real thing. Planning the full suit, laying out the fabric so nothing runs short, cutting the kameez, drafting and cutting the salwar — panels, gores, belt and cuffs — and preparing the mohri and neckline ready for the machine.
It's taught in Punjabi, the way a real tailor speaks, with English captions throughout.
What's inside:
• 14 lessons — 2 hours 48 minutes of video
• A fabric buying guide — what to buy, how many metres, and what to pick up at the same time
• A Punjabi stitching glossary — mohri, aasan, godda, nefa and more, in plain English
You'll need your measurements before you start. If you don't have them yet, take Gaani's free course "Measure Like a Tailor" first — it takes just over an hour.
No sewing machine needed for this course. You'll finish with a reusable paper pattern and every piece of your suit cut and ready to stitch.

- Choose the right fabric and cut both the kameez and the salwar
- Stitch the whole suit — necklines, pleats, shoulders, sleeves, belt and cuffs
- Hem, press and finish it for a clean, professional look

Taught in Punjabi · at her own table
I film every lesson at my own table, in Punjabi, the way I'd teach my own daughter — slowly, with my hands, until you can do it without me. You won't leave with notes. You'll leave with a suit you made.
