Kutch Work: Kurthi

This is my new project with kutch work for a top. It took a  lot of time  to complete not only because the silk thread easily get tangled but also many a times I went wrong with basic rule (under over) of kutch work especially with the bigger design..relief at last..
Material: Pure Cotton
Stitch: all kutch work
Threads: 4 strands of silk thread

As usual click on the pictures to get bigger and better pictures..

  1. Wonderful. you have chosen a lovely design to convert. they are apt for the neck line sleeves and the borders. the smaller versions look like kolams. A very good inspiration.it must have been tough to place the patterns in their proper place.
    sometimes when I forget to draw the whole design, I make it up by drawing with a pencil, even after finishing the work, it is possible.
