Balloon Work: kurthi
Balloon work is nothing but long and short stitch done on balloon shapes. Usually done with 2 different shades of threads. There are many design books available in the market for balloon work.
I did this work on fine quality cotton material. The threads and the fabric colours slightly vary from the actual colours.
You can see there are 2 incomplete flowers in the neck part. I thought the neck will be too small. If the tailor can make suitable neck pattern I will complete them.
I like this design very much. I did the same work on same design many years back; may be more than 8 years back to gift someone. This is also as a gift to someone..:). Planning to do one more with the same..
At present I am working on a kancheepuram silk saree with kutch designs.
Daughter doing good. I am going to stay with her in PG for a week. No cooking , no house chores. So I will get lot of time to do embroidery.

Trellis Stitch: Kurthi
I tried trellis stitch as main stitch for the big flower for this kurthi..stitch didn't come well though..a lesson I learnt is I should try the stitch on a cloth before working with a project..trellis stitch is bit difficult with cone thread as the thread unravel fast twist easily.
And Navar work for the butterfly and small flower on the neck part..
The other stitches are balloon work, long and short stitch, stem stitch, french knots, herringbone stitch, mogga guttu..
For trellis stitch I have used cone thread and the rest of the stitches are done with silk thread.
