The Shalwar Kameez
PROGRAMME

YES, I WANT TO SEW MY OWN!
Grace, Beauty and Elegance
are not enough to describe a woman in her shalwar kameez.
No jeans from Primark, hoodie from GAP or dress from Monsoon can compare. When she walks down the hall, she turns all eyes her way as the stunning patterns embrace her, the exquisite colours dance around her and the dupatta elegantly drapes behind.
But to get the right style and fit, we all know we must take a trip to the tailor. Yet, with the crazy inflation of prices and incredibly long waiting times, how can we ever get that perfect shalwar kameez?

About Me
Hi, I’m Rizwana Matadar…
And I’m passionate about empowering women like you to sew beautiful traditional clothes you love and are proud of. Read my full story here.
This is the programme I wish I had all those years ago when I first started sewing. Inside, you'll find a proven process to sew Shalwar Kameez; a process that has been used over 500 times to help women sew suits with ease and confidence.
YES, I WANT TO SEW LIKE THAT!
Just finished my draft on paper and well pleased with myself, the instructions were super easy to follow especially when your little ones are off school.

I've always wanted to learn how to sew clothes but didn't know how to go about it. Really excited to start this!!
Shila Nahar Hussain
I'm someone who avoided sewing as I always thought I can't do it and it's complicated. I joined last Friday, watched the modules the following day, measured and cut my draft onto paper same day. Cut my kameez too. It was so easy lol...just need to get round to sewing it In Sha Allah 🙂

I always wanted to learn to sew clothes, its been on my bucket list for years. When this opportunity came round I knew it was time.
I'm a slow learner when it comes to creative things, but Alhamdullilah I've not done too bad. Rizwana is great teacher explains things really well.
I have posted pics of my journey on this course so far.
I am super busy, but I try to make some time here and there for this brilliant hobby.
Give it a go, what's the worst that can happen! You might surprise yourself.

I haven't had the chance to take a pic but I've jus finished my first ever kameez paper draft, and it looks awesome and so spot on and I've never been so confident about it before!! So excited to move on to the next bit. #soproudofmyself 😇
