Hand Embroidered Saree

Dear readers hope all of you are enjoying Diwali  shopping.  Sarees, jewelry and the list goes on. To match your mood presenting one more hand embroidered saree.

This blue georgette saree on which double shaded silk thread.  In my last post, I posted saree with matching embroidery. This time the work on saree is done with contrast colours. We tried many clour combinations as always J. Finally, we got this double shaded thread i.e. yellow and orange. 

You can see the whole pallu is embroidered and  decorated with kundans.
Now let us see the stitches, in this embroidery pattern the main stitches used are herringbone stitch and chain stitch.

 Herringbone is one of my favourite stitches. because it is not only used beautifully to fill petals leaves but also very simple stitch. Whenever you want to finish your embroidery filling, use herringbone stitch. This stitch is also known as Russian cross stitch. I am planning to post tutorial kind of articles about some of hand embroidery stitches. Let us see how it works.

 

Lazy Daisy Work On Saree

 Embroidery always enhances the beauty of the saree.  Today I am feeling glad to present hand embroidered work done by my mom. We selected pink Georgette saree for the work. we get it printed from some professional artist from our city. The design selected is suitable for lazy daisy stitch. Lazy daisy stitch which is also known as detached chain stitch is very easy and it gives a petal-like look. This was Amma’s first saree project so she wanted an easy stitch

You may see on pink Georgette saree, darker shade of pink silk thread is used. In the beginning, we decided to go for a contrast colour combination, so tried blue and cream colour. But it didn’t go well with the pink background. After trial and error, a darker shade of pink is selected, and Kundans are used to enhance its beauty. The above image is of the border and below you can see Pallu.
