Simple and easy neckline embroidery for Kurtis and blouses

 Hi all

 Hope all are doing well and good.  Today I am happy to share with you a simple and easy neckline that can be used for blouses and Kurtis.  

This neckline uses parallel running stitch and twisted fly stitch.  It can be embroidered very quickly.  

VideoTutorial

I have used 3 strands of thread for parallel running stitch and 6 strands of thread for twisted fly stitch.  Also I have glued half Pearl beads at the end of twisted fly stitch.  Instead you can make French knots with 12 strands & 1 wrap.  This also looks good in monochromatic colour.  

Below is the complete neck pattern for the blouse with  5 and a half inch depth in the back. You can print it in a A4 paper and can use it for your personal use.  

Hope all of you like this design.  See you soon with another simple embroidery work.  Till then, have a nice day and have a happy time with your needle and thread.

Fly Stitch Flower Border / Simple Embroidery Border

 Hi all

Hope all are doing good and staying safe.  Today I am happy to share with you a simple embroidery border.  I wanted to do a easy but a grand neckline embroidery for a silk saree blouse.  So I have tried this small sample using the basic stitches.  The outcome is perfect and it is beyond my expectation.  Happy to post it here in blog. Let's see the design now.

Video Tutorial Here

The fabric I have worked is silk cotton.  When I search google I found that the colour of the fabric is "Old gold".  Then I searched for colour combos with old gold colour and then selected a light shade of gold colour and the contrasting blue.  I was in a doubt whether this blue goes well with the fabric because I am very poor in selecting colour choices.  And to my surprise the blue combo worked very well.  So I thought I will add this colour combo in my colour palatte. 

The design with only embroidery.  It is very plain and simple and then I added the dull gold colour cut glass beads randomly.  It lifted the grandness of the embroidery.  

After adding the cut beads also, I felt something is lacking and then filled the gaps with golden beads.  And the whole outlook of the piece changed.  

The design is complete now.  

You can use this design for border or for the neckline also.
