kutchwork pattern


I had this bright red tunic, block printed with vegetable dye . this was years ago. This red fabric had a curved creeper pattern between two parallel lines. I had worked a kutchwork border on the yoke with mirrors, they were done in black thread and I wore a black salwar[Indian pants] to match this yoke. I don’t have the picture of this old tunic.
I cut the yoke from the tunic . My niece got enchanted by this yoke, and attached it to some plain fabric and wears it. The red fabric without the yoke remained with me.
The present  tunic fabric is in black and cream.

I felt the  black kutch work on red fabric would look great with this tunic,

so,I took this  old red tunic fabric , drew a new kutchwork border to be worked in black thread. I used the creeper design to work the cream thread.
The kutch work border pattern.

This design was drawn in between two broader lines on the red fabric.

I have posted a kutch work tutorial of a motif on this page

Subraja had asked for the pattern of this kutchwork on red tunic.
The wide border design is made by repeating the individual motifs. I am uploading the single motif.
