Shaded Buttonhole Stitch:Kurthi

Every year for summer I do embroidery on cotton material. So this time also I bought many shades of cotton materials and completed  embroidery on many and this is one of them.
 This time I picked shaded buttonhole stitch, a variation of usual buttonhole stitch on a cotton material.  For leaves I have used long n short stitch. For the whole project I have used 2 strands of variegated silk threads
.I love this design so much. Earlier I did on the same design and gifted to my niece.

Sorry for the poor picture quality. I forgot to take pictures before sending them to daughter for tailoring. Below photoes were sent by her taken from her phone..

Readers Embroidery works

It is always a great feeling to see readers embroidery that to when they say they learned from my tutorials.
 It motivates me to give more tutorials too..:)..if I don't know how many are following my tutorials it is like waste of time and effort...
My cousin sister Geethanjali did many beautiful embroidery works which I have seen them in person. Really great works. So thought to share them.. she mailed me some of the pictures which I am posting here.
 We shared many designs and ideas..:) I copied those designs and later worked on the same..
