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.

Long&Short Stitch:Salwar set

This is again one of my old works on a cotton material. long and short stitch for flowers and leaves done with 2 strands of silk thread.

Chicken Scratch Embroidery: Kurthi

Again this is one of my old works done on a kurthi with chicken scratch embroidery. I just love this simple but elegant stitch. Material for this dress is semi silk and used perle cotton threads.

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.
