Running Stitch: Saree Blouse

I  did very simple running stitch on a saree blouse to match with the prints on the saree.
 Running stitch is the main stitch used in Indian traditional kantha work and Japan's Sashiko embroidery.
I finished this project in a day (may be within 2 hrs) including transferring the design on trace paper then pricking the design  and then transferring it on to the fabric.
I could not able to catch the right colour of the saree blouse in my camera..actually it is maroon red colour..


UPDATE
On reader's request I am showing how the stitched blouse is fixed to the hoop..hope this helps ..:)
