It involves careful fabric stabilization and structural planning. We prioritize your child's comfort by lining every piece with 100% Malmal cotton, ensuring no older fabric irritates their skin. During our initial consultation, we map out your saree’s borders and pallu to ensure the most intricate motifs are highlighted in the final design. Our upcycling process is designed to turn sentimental fabric into a practical, wearable piece of history. We begin by assessing the strength of your saree, particularly if it is vintage silk, to ensure it can withstand the active nature of a child. For saree-to-lehenga conversions, we use structural techniques like box-pleating to create volume, often incorporating cancan for that perfect twirl. We utilize the saree pallu specifically for the blouse or dupatta, ensuring the heaviest work or the most significant print sits exactly where it looks best. If you prefer a gown or jumpsuit, we handle the deconstruction and re-patterning in our Mumbai workshop, where we add YKK zippers and internal margins for future growth. Every piece is treated as a unique project, which is why we never rely on cookie-cutter patterns. We also offer fusion wear options, where we blend the traditional border of your saree with modern, comfortable fabrics. Whether you are prepping for a family wedding or simply want to pass down a piece of your own childhood style, we guide you through the border placement and silhouette selection to ensure the final result is comfortable and durable. ## About Karasa Baby I am a mom juggling two wild boys and a workshop full of fabric scraps.
