kutch work on a synthetic saree

Kutch work on a synthetic saree


I wonder why I was not blogging in the last few years?! Whereas, I have been working on one or the  other embroidery work... like  this saree, a salwar kameez for myself, bedshert,(posting shortly)Some stitching etc..
Though I had sufficient craft work to post I regret I have not been posting... but not delaying any more! Here is one of my works done in the previous years!
Talking about this saree,
  I did kutch work on pink colour synthetic saree with magenta colour silken thread. This  one is for my mother:)
I chose this particular motif for three reasons,
1) this was the latest motif at that point of time
2) this motif has easy to do kutch work which goes very fast while working on it
3) does not need  too much of other embroidery work  other than kutch work.

 The saree has total of 15  such motifs show n in the first picture and small diamond motifs in between.
I remember I did this one in 2006 during my stay in the USA to utilise my free time.  However do not exactly remember the time spent working on it.

Along with kutch work, stem stitch and herring bone stitch also called as kashmiri stitch are used.
Has this been inspiring enough to pick the needle and start working on a saree for yourselves!?
If so,  I feel thankful for visiting this post . 
Cheers :) 
Happy embroidering!
