Chikankari paisley

This is another chikan work motif, a paisley design which was with me for a long time to get embroidered.  I have got this design through Indus ladies. I have used double back stitch(Bhakya stitch).  I have embroidered in ordinary cotton fabric.  So the shadow work has not been highlighted.  Therefore,  I have taken the photograh with a light under the fabric.  And now, I hope the shadow work is visible.  Now have a look at it.


I have used this piece of fabric to stitch a new cover for my sewing machine.  With that cover I will meet u in my next post.

  3. Shadow work is great as it can show the depth of the colours in different strength according to the light.
