Furry Scarf and Hat


Hi Everyone,
  I have made this hat and scarf for my daughter  for this winter. she loved it very much. Everyday she wore it to school.

I have made the same scarf but with plain wool but that was not so fancy. so I tried with furr wool, and it came out very well. The previous scarf of the same pattern is listed here. 
This is the closeup view of the scarf.



My daughter has worn the hat, she is very cosy in that.

Lazy Daisy flowers


Hi friends,
  This saree was my first project, around 8 years back. this is a simple motif stitched with lazy daisy and stem stitch. I used two strands of anchor cotton thread for the stems. And grey woollen thread for the flowers. The middle of the flower is made of a golden chumki stitched in yellow thread. This was my college uniform saree.




The saree has altogether 18 motifs.

Scarf with tatted motifs


This is my recently completed project. I started it around 6 months back. I couldn't take the photograph of the whole scarf. This is one end of the scarf. The scarf is decorated with tatted motifs and tassels work. The base colour of the scarf is baby pink and the motifs are made in dark red anchor pearl cotton threads(size 40).
The motif is very simple five petaled flower.  The whole scarf has around 80 flowers stitched in regular intervals. 
The middle of the flower is made with  golden coloured chumki and a small glass bead.  
The tassels work made the scarf more beautiful.

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 .

My hands on Tatting experiment.

Hi,

I went away from blogging for quite some time sorry for my regular viewers. Though I do some or the other work, i don't get time to post them. Once again sorry.

Ok lets come to tatting. I learnt this art when i was in seventh standard. I really love this art. but after that i didn't get a chance to try it. After coming to UK, I got a chance to explore various techniques that can be used with tatting, an I tried some of them. I have stitched them in a cloth so that it will be safe. One thing I ould like to tell you these are not my own patterns. I selected them from various sites. I would like to thank all these pattern designers.




don't forget to post your comments, as they will encourage me a lot.
thank you
