Finished Salwar Suit

And here is the finished Salwar suit with Running stitch embroidery.I am really happy about the outcome and not all embroidery gives full satisfaction as this one.

Running Stitch!

I bought a Salwar set and while cutting I didn't have any intention of doing any embroidery.After cutting I realized that the dress can be highlighted with a simple embroidery.So I thought of doing running stitch on the design with an addition of a few sequins here and there.What started with a simple work, extended to an elaborate stitching. It took me two days and I think it is worth the effort:) What is your opinion hmmm?

Jewellery with crystal and beads

My daughter bought this crystal (bigger) and I bought the remaining here in Chennai. I learnt this here. WOW! what a lovely tutorial. The small beads I bought here was not of great quality.I had to pick and sort the beads for correct size and shape,as unlike what you get in the US the ones here are very pathetic.

And here is the finished one.Waiting for your comments:)

Coincidentally this is my HUNDREDTH POST !

Design For Neck

This is the design I drew  today for doing Mirror work.Thanks Leela for your design.That can be used as it is.As such it is very good,and can be used without mirror work.I will take a print out and keep it.Waiting for your suggestions and comments on this design. Working on what stitches  to be used in this.Will do a trial piece and proceed.

Filling Stitch

This a filling stitch I learnt from the internet(You Tube). This video was in Spanish(my guess),but the making was very clear. I think Leela must be knowing the name of the stitch:)..Thank you Leela for telling me the name of the new stitch which was Spanish knotted feather stitch. I made a mistake in this one and you can see it below the letters.Will be more attentive when I do the next one.

Mirror Work

Today I was in no mood to do anything useful:)..Was just browsing the net for some new stitches and design.I have got a lot to stitch,but before that I wanted to do some embroidery on those clothes.Suddenly I thought of doing mirror work and so once again browsed Ina's blog for that.And here is what I tried today..
Not so perfect but will try and get the perfection.I did this with 2 strands of silk thread.Anybody have a design for the neck which can incorporate this mirror work? Please send me some designs.

Crochet!

As I said I learnt crochet and tried this in bottle cap.I learnt from my sister in law(brothers wife) and here it is.Though this has not come out well,I will surely try and give my best.But going to complete the flower in needle lace and do one more with crochet.Thank you once again Latha for being an inspiration for me to learn crochet.
