Hand embroidered Kasuti work kurti Neck design

 Hi all

Hope all are doing well and good.  Today I am happy to share with you a kasuti embroidered kurti in green colour.  I am doing this design for the second time. You can view the first one here.  This time also I have done in same color fabric with the same color threads.  But this time I have traced the complete design using carbon paper.  And the advantage is I have completed the embroidery without any confusion and 4 to 5 hours of time is also reduced than working with net.  Because while working with net we have to refer the design pattern and we have to remember it.  But this time that problem is not there and I have completed the whole neck design in 10 hours.  Have a look at the work.

I have included a 3 part video tutorial on working this design from the start to end.  You can watch it if you want to know about the working of the design.

Hope you all like this design.  If you want to purchase this embroidered fabric it is available in my instagram page here.
