Rosy days

Today I feel good about myself. Why? Well because I have partially completed the embroidery on my 1st self-embroidered salwar kameez. Yay! I am all excited now and can't wait to finish it.The thought of wearing my own work is just so amazing.

Here is a sample picture.Do let me know how it is.And please be gentle as its my first official one. ;) Ok so now that wouldn't be fair right?So I guess I'm open for criticism too. :D




This one is done on lime green linen material with multishaded pink and green threads and also beads.What do you think about the combination?Do give suggestions for more future pieces including color combos.

My Experiments with Thread

My latest passion is embroidery.Mom introduced me to it and went back to UAE where she works.Then came Mary Corbet to the rescue with her fabulous website.Again courtesy my mother.The site called Mary Corbet's Needle 'n' Thread is amazing and extremely helpful.

And then I experimented.And here it is.

I used full thickness embroidery thread in these because its the first time I'm doing embroidery.I've tried French knots,Stem stitch, Lazy Daisy, Seed stitch, Straight stitch, Back stitch & Chain stitch in these designs.

:) More coming up!

P.S. Tips and criticism are welcome. :)
