Kutch work Saree - started

I have started this blog to show case my craft works and I was concentrating mainly on embroidery works. But crocheting also takes my time as a project can be completed easily within a short period of time than embroidery.  This year i have started a saree project focussing on kutch work. It is a plain saree of dark blue color with a simple golden zari border.  The saree and the design which i have selected is here;


I have selected Anchor cotton thread and have done the embroidery in two strands.  A single motif which I have worked in the pallu part is shown.  Other than Kutch work i have used herringbone stitch and chain stitch.  I am working on the pallu part now and have to do a border on one side.  After completing that I will post my progressed work.  till then, Happy embroidering.


You can see my other kutch works here.

  2. It is really a lovely design, so intricate and lacy. I understand this takes far more time than your crocheting projects, but keep up the good work.
