Dear
readers on this blog you have observed many patterns of patchwork portraits
done by my mom. Inspired by her beautiful work I have also thought of trying
patchwork. I know that I can't match with her neatness in hand embroidery but
still attempted one of dancing lady pose of patchwork and posting the same
here.
As
always background is done with cotton fabric. I used very simple stitches like
filling buttonhole, herringbone, feather stitch, satin stitch, chain stitch and
couched trellis stitch. Her saree is filled with random cross stitch. Hairs are
done with stem stitch filling. Let me know your opinion on my first
attempt of patchwork.
In my
upcoming posts surely you will get tutorials of all above-mentioned stitches.
