A frock for my Angel

Image
Hi..Todays new project which I had been putting off for sometime now is a frock with circular skirt. I had some left over fabric from a previous project which i have used here. I traced out the bodice part from an other top of hers and for the skirt I followed the tutorial from www.lifestyle.com.au The armhole and the neckline are finished with bias binding and the skirt bottom finished with picot. I attached a 1 inch wide strip at the side to tie  bow at the back..it was a fairly easy project once i had everything cut out :) suitable for beginers I would say.. Well will see u with the next project soon.

The stem part of the design

Image
Going step by step starting with the stem. Have a few more stem motifs to get done then will go to the next. Doing one color all the way at a time has been much more easier than getting done each motif on a whole.. So me getting back to stitching.. See u soon

Feels like a never ending thing...

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...

Update on the Saree that I'm working on now

Image
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

Indian Saree Blouse -II

Image
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..
