Pattu Pavadai - 3

Hi Friends,
This is the latest pattu pavadi that I made for my daughter. I got it stitched from the tailor and did the Embroidey part of it.
The plain Skirt and Blouse.

The close up of the neck design. Here I have used Golden and Green metallic threads. And Used white stones for the Border so that it gives a grand look especially in the evening functions. Again I added the Muvvala kuttu to the border, to make it more rich.

This Paisley motif I traced it from the skirt, and then embroidered.

 I don't know whether we can call it as Gold work. though it is stitched with metallic threads.
I hope you enjoyed my posts. Thanks for visiting my Blog.
Cheers
Savitha.

Pattu Pavadai

I have made a   pattu pavadai for my daughter for her birthday. I haven't learnt tailoring much, hardly I went to a tailoring class for one month when I was doing my post graduation. With that little knowledge, I started stiting This is my 7th one in almost 6 years. I was very happy when she wore this. one more special thing is I stitched it in one day (not continuously,  but along with my regular duties)  but when I finished it was 12'o clock midnight, the next morning as soon as she got up  I gave it to her as a surprise, She just hugged me and said I Love You Mom. Bless her.

Blouse neck design

This is the new Pattu pavadai blouse, which I stitches earlier. I have done the Muvvala kuttu on the neck line along with double button hole stitch. Muvvala kuttu, I have learnt it from Lakshmi's site. Its a wonderful stitch to work on. thank you very much Lakshmiji.  I have done the same one on the hip also.

   I  was so happy to see her wearing this dress, I stitched all by myself and did the embroidery too. It gives me a great satisfaction that i have done something.

here is the full photograph of the blouse.

I have done this with two strands of gold colour metallic thread and I have glued the stones to one end.but it looks very plain in the middle, thinking of what to do? any suggessions please .

Pavadai Chattai.

I want to share some of my daughter's pattu pavadai blouses, which i have embroidered.
I have embroiderd this blouse with some beads chumkies and metallic thread. I have used Stem stitch and detached chain stitch. I have stitched some red stones to the border. It adds more beauty to the dress.



This is another blouse made with zardosi, beads and some embroidery. I have used fly stitch and a slight variation of Herringbone stitch. One more speciality with this blouse is, I have stitched this on my own both the pavadai and blouse.



I have some more blouses, which I have embroidered. But, I don't have their photographs now. I hope,I'll post them soon along with other my other embroideries.
