Long N Short Stitch: Saree Blouse

Simple long and short stitch on a saree blouse  matching with the motifs on the saree. For neck line I did chained cretan stitch.

Stem Stitch: Salwar set

This kameez had all black prints where as in dupatta there were some red prints. So thought to give some red tinge to kameez. So did stem stitch on it with 2 strans of silk thread. For sleeves I have done muvvala kuttu.

Kasuthi and cross stitch: Kurthi

To match with my 23 years old cotton dupatta I have selected a matching cotton material and selected design similar to the prints on it. It takes long time to complete this simple project. Stitches are  easy but needs lot of concentration. so much  bored I was with it so that I couldn't  complete the motifs and neck line on this kurthi.
Stitches used are kasuthi, cross stitch, stem stitch, half anklet stitch and hungarian braided chain stitch. Threads used are anchor cotton thread.
