I Explore To Be Creative

Hi.. I have been working on the saree a little at a time... And still have a lot to get done... Now going one color at a time since managing the threads together was becoming a problem... They kept getting tangled... Will upload pic soon... Till then take care...

I have used satin stitch for the petals, hungarian braided chain for the green thread, and detached buttonhole stitch for the center. I tried to match it with thw birder design stitches.. I still am working on the border but wanted to check out how the pallu motif would look once done.. What say... is it ok?? Any suggestions

My achievement for today.... :) ..... After the first success I asked my mom to spare me another blouse bit to practice on.. And guess what...   To my suprise....she gave me a bunch and said " you saved me the hassle of going to a tailor.. now i got my own tailor at home.."  She must be really lucky... At least for now  (he he).....since I'm very excited at present to deny her this wish...  So now that I've got a hang of it.. Think I'll go slow.. Maybe try something different too... Will update soon..  So for now signing off.. 

When one has a good teacher.... Stitching can be fun... A big thank you to Mrs.Vani at http://artvani-vani.blogspot.in/2010/03/method-of-stitching-sari-blouse.html .. I stitched a blouse for my mom.. I made a few alterations .... A little here and a little there and its came out ok.. One thing I learnt is.. Patterns are just the basic guidlines for a person to make a garment...  The final stitched product depends on the shape and structure of the person wearing it.. I'm off now to do my next.. Will update soon..

I am back !!! I know.. Thats what I say all the time then go missing... And I'm really sorry about that.. So this is what I'm working on right now...  Chain stitch for the stem.. Satin for the leaves and the main design is a combination of detachable buttonhole and satin... What say??

FIRST ATMEPT AT SAREE EMBROIDERY.... bought some plain sarees to try out hand embroidery and it was fun...and now once I am done with the designs can't wait to start doing more. Saree - 1-  Satin stitch, running stitch and herringbone stitch Saree -2 - Chain stitch with sequence

My friend had a piece of shawl fabric from an old salwar that she was not using. She wanted to learn to stitch a skirt for her child with it. It was simple. We started out with a skirt and made a gathered skirt.;) But since we had excess fabric I made an extra dress. :)
