Kamal kadai for kurti yoke

Hi,
Again one more Kamal kadai. I like this stitch . Though it is simple, still trying to reach perfection. This design is made for a Stand Collar kurta hook strip. Base material is handloom pink color cotton.

Rose Stitch for baby frock yoke

Hi,
Again , a very simple embroidery but the result is very cute even though I need to achieve a lot regarding the perfection .

Still a completed project gives a lot of happiness.

Floral Design for Kurti Neckline

Hi, 
This cute floral neckline was long forgotten. Few months back, I was searching in my half done projects box, this pretty little design just came up.

Initial plan was to trim the edges with beads. Long and Short embroidery is very much complete on its own and adding beads might end up reducing the beauty.(I thought so!!!!!)

So here is the final result . Its a steel gray cotton material. Simple Anchor Cotton embroidery thread is used. 

A small kundan motif

hi
Here again starting a new project.
This small kundan motif made for my royal blue kurti. I am thinking of stitching (6 to7 ) of them on the front panel of the kurti . Hope to finish it soon .

Hope I'll be able to post the picture of the completed garment soon.
