Chikankari paisley

I'm back with yet another whitework/chikankari project.                                 

This paisley pattern is stitched on very fine muslin using 1 and 2 plies of embroidery floss.

My plan is to appliqué this onto a saree pouch.

Happy stitching!

Happy thanks giving to all my American friends!

Now that I have absolutely no pain in the wrist while holding tiny embroidery needles I'm spending more time doing embroidery and sewing.So I guess I'll be blogging regularly from now on :-)

I've made a couple of chikan embroidery motifs on a cotton dress.

I'm afraid I can't show you the full project....Sorry ....

It's a part of the pattern which I'm stitching for commission.While I was working this got some ideas to develop later for my class...

                                      

I enjoyed developing this pattern and the stitching process was (is)fun,haven't finished it yet.

What about you ..Do you enjoy whitework? Which is your most favorite technique? Please do share it with me..

Happy stitching!

Anita.
