Kasuti Mango Motif

In my last post I have promised to write about knitting which is my new hobby.  But today I have practised a kasuti motif and it came out well.  So i wanted to share with you all.  This pattern is from one of the course by Mridulas embroidery school . 

Initially i was little confused on the pattern.  I didn't get the stitching path correctly.  But after a row i was clear on the forward and reverse path.  I thought of using this pattern for a blouse.  One I am done with it I will show u the result.  Now over to the motif.

I hope all of you like this pattern. Waiting for your feedbacks.   I will be back with some more embroidery works.

Embroidered Leaf - Long and short stitch

From the day I started to do embroidery, long and short stitch always fascinates me.  I have come across the long and short stitch tutorials in needlenthread site.  Long time back i have bookmarked the pages and a few weeks backs the time came and I have tried Lesson 6 of long and short stitch.  The result is below.  I have used 1 strand of Anchor embroidery thread.  Have a look. 

Waiting for your feedbacks and suggestions.  Next I thought of trying a flower using long and short shading.

In my next post I will write about knitting, my new hobby.

Pleated Crocheted Skirt

I like crocheting wearables.  But making it to the correct size was always a problem for me.  while googling i have found a skirt pattern. It is very simple but very effective.  I have decided to try it out for my 3year old niece.  I was doing this last month and I happened to stay along with my niece.  So I took measurements of her, then my crocheted piece and finally i have made a skirt which fits her properly..  For the waist i have used half inch elastic which I have attached it using single crochets.  I am happy that I have crocheted a wearable.  

I have used 3 balls(each 10 grams= 12 Rupees each) of knitting yarn which I purchased from my local yarn shop.  

you can find the pattern here.  Thanks Kinga for the excellent pattern.

You can view my another skirt here.

In my next post I will come up with a sample piece of Long and short stitch in embroidery.

Crocheted Bag

I like to have crocheted bags.  A project can be finished within a short period of time in crochet.  I have seen a video in youtube for crocheting this bag and tried it.  The outcome is wonderful. You can view the video here.  I have used two colors of woolen yarn which I got from my local yarn store.  Now you can see the bag. 

One more shot of the bag hanging on the door.  It can hold a purse a cellphone and a small water bottle.  A magnetic closure has been fixed inside.  

My other crochet creations on bag: BLUE bag,    GREEN bag.

In my next post I will come up with a crocheted skirt which i have done for my niece.  Till then, Happy hooking.

Crocheted sofa covers

When I came across the Neat ripple pattern from Attic24 I just love it.  i made a sofa back cover using that pattern and the result is wonderful.  very neat and easy to do. It took 15 minutes to complete one row and totally i have done 33 rows.  Two such covers for the single sofas have been done.  Have a look at it.

Now the closeup

Set of ripples.

Then for the three seater sofa I have made a granny ripple that matches with the neat ripple pattern.  The pattern is from here.  The beauty is there is no need of the long foundation chain in this pattern.  That's why i have given a try.  It was also very easy to do.  You can find lot more projects with no beginning chain.  I have folded this in half.  Used five colors for the granny ripple.

Now with the three ripples.

I have used Nako Luks minnos yarn from pony craft store.  In my next post I will come up with a crocheted bag.  So, do watch my space.  Till then, Happy crocheting.

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.
