One More

I stitched one more for my grand daughter.The material available with me was just enough for a stitching this A Line frock.Only the pieces which was cut from the arm hole and neck was left behind..

Frock!

I stitched a frock for my grand daughter,and here it is..

Frock

I stitched this for my grand daughter.I love adding satin ribbon as it gives a nice feel for the dress.That was a bit I bought for a steal.Just Rs 50( a dollar).Bits are always cheap and I think for stitching a frock for the kids it makes sense too.

Short tops

I was thinking of doing some applique in this cloth,but was not sure about what design to choose.I went to buy some lace and saw this embroidered yoke there.So I bought that and attached it.The work is very neatly done and looked grand too.

Frock

Its been a long time since I stitched something.I am slowly returning to my routine after a hectic cleaning work of my house.I stitched for my grand daughter for her Birthday.The material is a shirting material.Though it looks pretty because of the sheen,it puckered here and there and It was annoying.I have to file my nails too :(
Anyway I finished it and I am not that much satisfied with the outcome.

Semi circleTops

My daughter bought this tops here in the US and the idea was so good I wanted to share it with everybody.The vertical lines marked is to show where it is stitched for the sides and the horizontal one is for the hip.This is done all around and we can put elastic or a silk ribbon or string to tie it in the front.The material is chiffon and was really beautiful. Try and see.:)

Frock

This material has been there for quite sometime and I was waiting to use it the best way possible.Now it was just enough to stitch a frock,and I planned to stitch it.I bought the lace in JoAnn fabrics during the memorial day sale.I will also post the pictures of the laces I bought along with this one.Bought some buttons too.Here I used a square button and I am happy to see the end result.Waiting for your comments as it encourages me a lot.

Back after a long break.

I was really really busy with my grand children and I was not able to do any embroidery.But managed to stitch a frock for my granddaughter TARA.As Deepa wrote in her blog about thrifty moms,I too do the same .Saving all fabric pieces remaining to use in the future.This is one such piece which I stitched for my daughter 6 years back:).After long long time I am stitching a frock.Waiting for your views and comments..I will soon post a picture of the little angel wearing the dress....

Short tops

This is a poly cotton material which I bought in Chennai. And the green zari is from a blouse bit which I have been preserving for quite sometime,as I was planning to use it in one of my projects.The zari was just enough for this :).How does this look?Waiting to hear your comments....

Short tops

I stitched two more short tops and for one I  attached loops to hold the string around the neck.Though I am not fully satisfied I proceeded the work as I was not in the mood to remove it.So....here it is.

Short tops

I stitched three salwar kameez in the last three days and today I stitched this.This is a princess cut design and it has been a  long time(really long time) since I stitched this pattern.I have the paper cutting for this and so it was easy on the cutting part.But an A line design is very easy compared to this,no extra cutting or stitching:).

Short tops

I have been stitching all these days and finished these tops as well as three Salwar Kameez.Back breaking.As we are planning to leave to the US in March I have a lot to complete.I am also going to stitch some frocks for my grand daughter.I will post it as and when I finish it.In between trying to complete all the incomplete projects in embroidery also.I made a collage of all the tops and here it is......The red and the green next to it is altered from salwar top which didn't fit my daughter..:)

Due to the collage I created the first one is repeated in the end also.

Short tops neck

This is for the neck part.Actually I was planning to stitch a collar for this and it completely slipped out of my mind.Hereafter I am thinking of drawing the pattern for the dress in a paper and insert it in the corresponding materials.That way I think I can cut the material accordingly.And one more blunder happened.While doing the embroidery I accidentally  cut a small nick below the ribbon and thats why the extra strip.(extra work too)

Short tops

We went to my brothers house in Chennai for Deepavali and had a gala time with my relatives.After the festive season I went to shop in T.Nagar (Chennai) for poly cotton material which is not available in my place.This is one of the material for a short top for my daughter.First I thought of stitching it as a simple Kurti and ended up doing some light embroidery.The maroon color is ribbon but not satin( I don't know the material).I washed a bit to check for the bleeding of colour.It was great.So thought of using as a border.I did simple lazy daisy stitch and some sequins. This is the sleeve part and for the neck part also I am going to repeat the same.May be with a bit more embellishment.

Short tops

Here are two tops which I stitched.One is Raglan sleeves pattern and the other one is Maharaja cut.
