Embroidery: Black Silk Saree

Again Bhagyamma was restless and this time there was no need to trace design also. Just a dot. Then she would go like Gobman and eat all dots. And voila ! The saree was done !

Material from MSIL Mandara

Threads for embroidery from Anchor

Stitches: Stem, Lazy Daisy

Proudly Primary

I tend to get sucked into complexity. I tend to ignore what comes naturally. Somehow the primary colors never seem to be my initial choice! And this dress changed all that.

This is the first dress I embroidered for my daughter. And this was the first one she truly appreciated! I did not trace the design. It just grew. As you can guess this design draws a bit from Mexican embroidery. What I loved most about this dress is its vibrancy and simplicity. There is hardly anything complex. Its a simple dress in basic colors.

The polka dot cotton fabric is from a Jayanagar 4th Block, Bangalore shop.The red fabric is super thin cotton from my stash of leftover fabric. The threads are from Anchor.

Embroidery: Silk

This off-white silk saree was embroidered by our Aunt. We chose the design and colors but are not diligent enough to finish :) so BhagyaDayini sprang into action and finished the saree which we all proudly wear !!
