I love turning a mumma ki shaadi waali saree (mom’s wedding saree) or your bridal lehenga into something you’ll actually wear again. For me, it’s not just about stitching - it’s about keeping memories alive and making fashion sustainable. ### What I Can Do With Your Old Favourites - Upcycled saree dress, modern Anarkali, or even a gown from that saree you can’t let go of - Bridal lehenga redesign into lighter suits or Anarkalis, so it’s not stuck in the trunk forever - Heirloom fabric transformation for those delicate, sentimental pieces - I handle them with extra care - Dupattas, cholis, and other bits can become skirts, blouses, or whatever you imagine ### How We’ll Work Together - First, we chat. I want to know the story behind your piece and what you want from it - I’m a little obsessed with getting the fit just right - comfy, flattering, and made for you - I’ll stitch and finish everything myself, so you get quality and a personal touch ### Why It Matters To Me One of my favourite projects was making a lehenga for a little girl from her dadi’s saree (grandmom’s saree). That smile on her face? Bas, wahi mera reward hai (that’s all the reward I need). If you want to wear your memories, I’m here for it. ## Highlights Browse through Needle Craft By Priyanka Yadav's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/needle_craft_priyanka/garment-upcycling-redesign/featured) - [Video: Watch the beautiful flare and movement of this custom-stitched brocade lehenga.
