Chemanthi Stitch Variation: Saree Blouse

Now a days my daughter showing some interest in wearing  sarees. Easy job for me to stitch on saree blouse as it take less time. Click on the images to get bigger and clear images.

As I told you in my earlier post I have chosen chemanthi stitch variation as main stitch and added stones. I could not find matching kundans in my collection to add in between the stones, there are no  shops either as  strike is going on in Andhra Pradesh. So I have to wait till I get the perfect kundans or beads.

Wheatear Stitch: Salwar kameez

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