Chemanthi Flowers(daisy stitch variation): Salwar

This is one more type of chemanthi stitch formed using daisy stitch. I fondly call it as Leela's chemanthi stitch. Leela whom i met in indusladies community in the year 2008 developed this beautiful stitch when I posted my variation of chemanthi stitch there. She is also the first person who developed new version of anklet stitch.
How nice it would be if like minded people at one place sharing and learning the new ideas!!

Material: Cotton
Stitches: variation of daisy stitch(chemanthi flowers) for flowers, feather stitch for leaves and stem stitch for stems
Threads: 2 strands of silk thread

Feathered chain stitch

This is one of my old works done on a cotton material. I have used feathered chain stitch for the whole project. Stitch is easy and was completed in less time. I have used 3 strands of shaded anchor cotton floss matching with the colours of top.

Mogga kuttu: fly+daisy stitch

We fondly call it as mogga kuttu(bud stitch) as the stitch resembles the buds. This stitch is made by stitching 2 fly stitches face to face and daisy stitch within it. Lovely is it not?
The work on blue is a pure silk saree.
The other one is on top as you can see..

In the below picture you can see I have added one cutdana beads and one pearl within fly stitches.

Cretan and Knotted cretan Stitch

Along with my blogger friend Leela I tried knotted cretan stitch and later did a project on my daughter's dress. I changed a little bit of knotted cretan stitch unlike the regular one.
The dress had prints on it with flowers and leaves which were best suited for cretan stitch.
So I did knotted cretan stitch for leaves and cretan stitch for leaves. Threads are cone threads.
How did you like it!!?

Wheatear Stitch: Salwar kameez

I did the same wheatear stitch for my daughter's dress.
