Kasuti tops and a WIP update

This is my second finish for this year.  I have embroidered his kasuti tops. Embroidery is done only for the yoke, border and the border for sleeves.  I have done this upon a request from my co-sis for her colleagues.  I don't know whether they will like it or not.  

I have done this in black color silk cotton material with two strands of anchor embroidery thread.  

Thread no's: Anchor 167 & 306

No of hrs: 19 hrs 

It took more than 1 hr to fix the net and 1 1/2 hrs to remove it after completing the embroidery.

This is the yoke part

This is the border both for the body part and sleeves.

Both yoke and border

I have some more projects to do.  Initially I have got the kasuti net along with the embroidery which I have taken from mridulas school.  Now it's over and I am in need of kasuti net or calico net.  But I don't have any idea from where to get it.  Anyone have any idea?  Do we get the kasuti net around chennai? or anywhere online.  Please do let me know.  Till I get that net I will continue the projects with kutch designs.

You can view my other kasuti projects here.

Now for the update in my mega cross stitch project.  I have completed the page 4 of the harmony cross stitch project.  It took nearly 20hrs to complete this.

Hope all of you have like my projects.  Do take time to comment on it as it gives me encouragement to do more.  Will come up with some more projects.  So do watch my space.

Kasuti Embroidered blouse

Recently I have embroidered this blouse using kasuti embroidery in a silk cotton fabric.  I have used 3 strands of anchor embroidery thread no.362. Embroidery has been done on the back neck, border in the back and then for the border in the sleeves.  Used flexi net to do the embroidery and removed the net.  do have a look and tell me how it is.

Kasuti border for sleeves

Today this post is to show you the sleeves which I have embroidered using kasuti embroidery.  This is a matching sleeve for the yoke and border which I have blogged about it here and here.  It is very simple with a single motif.  Have a look.

This is the closeup of the sleeves.

Hope all of you like.  I have completed the embroidery for this kurti and it has to go for stitching.  I will show the stitched kurti once it is done.  

In my coming posts I am ready to show u some of my crocheted items.  So do watch my space.

Kasuti Border for blouse

This is a border which I have done using kasuti.  I have attached the kasuti net and done the embroidery.  Then removed then net and the final result is this.  Since this is a continuous pattern I have used the net.  It is easy than tracing the design.  I have used autumn gold color anchor cotton thread and variegated brown for the stitching. Fabric is silk cotton.  Click on the image for a clear image.
