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.

Kutch Work

One more kutch work on a short kurthi.
Of late I am obsessed with kutch work it seems.
 Once the skeleton/base of the kutch work is done in right way it is easy to do interlacing part. Actually this part of the kutch work I enjoy most.
Scroll stitch, french knots, fly stitch, stem stitch are the other stitches used in this design.

For the neck and sleeves

 On  the border of the kurthi

This motif is on the back of the kurthi.















I bought few more plane cotton kurthis to do embroidery. In my next project I chose to do lavangam work. Tracing is done and I am testing the colour combination and the type of lavangam stitch which suits the design best.
I can not take big projects now as my lymphedema hand don't allow me to work for  more time. And I can not do without embroidery..:)
