This is the motif which I have embroidered for the border for a kurti. I have used three strands of anchor embroidery cotton thread.
It took 20 mins to embroider the inner yellow motif, 40 mins for the red segment, nearly 1 hr for the green segment and 1 hr and 30 mins for the outer yellow segment. Totally 3 1/2 hrs is needed to embroider this single motif.
I have done three such motif and they are here. I have to separate each motif and then attach to a red color silk cotton fabric. My tailor should do it properly.
Now the closeup
The matching yoke for this kurti is here.
Now I am embroidering the sleeves for this kurti. I will come up with the sleeves after completing it. So watch my space. Waiting for your feedbacks.
What a lovely design!
ReplyDeleteLovely motif. Reminds me of the black saree I wanted to "cover" with kasuti motifs which I abandoned after just making a few!! Maybe I should hunt for it now. Do you have the diagrams for these or do you make them free hand?
ReplyDeleteHave a great week. :)
Fantastic design and by using three threads you get a very bold and strong outline. I think you are working very quickly!
