These are some multipurpose embroidery designs. You may use them as per your creativeness.  I have used these designs for bedsheet, toran or door hanging and table cloth for kids which are posted already on this blog. In future, I will try to bring some more useful designs.

Peacock Pattern With Long and Short Stitch

Hi, Readers

Hope you are all well.

This a beautiful peacock pattern of hand embroidery. The major part of this peacock pattern is done with long and short stitch. This stitch can be beautifully used in filling especially for blending of two or more colours.




In one of my earlier posts also you have observed peacock design. In both patterns, similar stitches and colour combinations are used. But the present one is a smaller design. So it has not taken much time to finish. This pattern can be used for wall hangings or table cloths.

The stitches used are long and short stitch for feathers with multi colour thread, stem stitch for other fillings, chain and satin stitch in between.

This stitch is associated with chain stitch family that’s why known as “detached chain” stitch also. Lazy daisy is best suited for petals.

Rajasthani lady - Machine Embroidery



  Hi, readers How are you?
This design is a blend of machine embroidery with patchwork.  Machine embroidery is an art embroidery method in which a sewing machine or embroidery machine is used to make designs on cloths. It is faster compared to hand embroidery. Machine embroidery is mainly used for commercial purposes. In our collection, we have only two machine embroidery pattern. Soon I will post another pattern also.

This time I am posting one of the oldest patterns of our collection. This piece of art is done by my mother long back. Do you believe it is almost 30 years old? She preserved it so well.  

This Rajasthani lady portrait has vibrant colors and delicate work. It is one of my favourite piece of work. Hope you also like this.
