This video will show the tips and techniques I have found out from making my very first Kawandi. I've sewn it as authentically as I could and hopefully you will find yourself inspired to try and make one too.
I should have mentioned in the video that the people for whom this is a heritage craft are the Siddi people. They are originally from Africa and now live in India. Here is a link to a good article and some wonderful photographs of authentic Kawandi.
