    I was just looking for chickenscratch information for a friend in India. I believe she will be very pleased to see your blog, perhaps outright thrilled. Your blog is better than chocolate, a rush of exciting information without calories or danger of stains on fabric.

    Hi Chitra. I am from Russia. i loved your blog because it is just BEAUTY itself – you make any tunic and kameez a masterpiece making fantastic embroidery. i loved your both ikat tunics -red-black and white black with kasooti and also that tailor made black tunic with blue chikankari work. Its very delicate and fine work and i love such style. i wanted to ask about armhole you make in tunics as cant see how it fits -you know climate here in summer is very humid and i would like to know-if tunics you show here have deeper one than in usual kameez formula – 1/4 chest -1″? Could you learn it for me? i want very much to try kasooti on summer tunic but afraid to spoil whole hard work because of bad sleeve and armhole fitting. Nafisa

    Hi Chitra:

    I am Meena, living in Bangalore.

    I was searching for kutch work designs and patterns and landed at your site. Great that you are doing such a variety of hand embroidery. I have lots to learn. Your blog makes wonderful reading.

    I am looking for geometrical border patterns for kutch work. I am planning to do this on a pattu saree. If you could share some patterns or let me know where I could get them, it would be very useful.

    Regards
    Meena K
