Today I have come up with a kutch work border. I have used herringbone stitch for the flower and fishbone stitch for leaves. Stems are stitched using Back stitch. The other parts are kutch work. I am going to use this border for a pillow case. I have completed stitching one pillow case. After completing the other one I will show it in another post.
Closesup of the design.
The design has been taken from Kutch work designs book of Mridulas embroidery school. In that book u can find all the possible designs for kutch work from simple to complex designs. Also, I have bought a new embroidery machine and nowadays trying to do simple embroidery using machine. In the coming days I will blog about it.
Till then,
Happy Embroidering.
