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

hi chitra,
Can u please give tutorials for phulkari work? I am from Bangalore and passionate about embroidery. Lovely kutch work tutorials…
January 12, 2013 at 6:18 am
Hi Usha,
can you be more specific about your requirements. because, as a stitch it is a surface satin stitch. the variations are based on the patterns and directions of the stitch. whenever I work phulkari, I draw different patterns to suit my needs, that way, I use this stitch to incorporate my own designs. so, it may not be called authentic phukari also. let me know, what you want, I’ll see whether I can help you there. we do share a common passion.

hi
love your site. Superb work. Planning to learn kutch work.

Hi, really very good site. Easy tutorial to follow. I would recommend that along with the name of stitches their picture should also be there which will make thing easier for the user. Hope you will do it at the earliest.
