First project of the year

I've finished my first project this year :-)

It's a black kurti/tunic with white embroidery.I wanted a very simple pattern and happy with the result.The fabric was little slippery so I had to spend some extra time for the garment construction/sewing part.

                                           

The fabric is Italian crepe and the embroidery is done with Anchor stranded cotton thread.

We had a very misty morning today.A view from my balcony at noon while I was happily doodling/sketching a new pattern….

                                       

                                        

                                        

Happy stitching!

am back…

I've not shared any of my wip's with you all for quite some time now. I was busy with the weddings and my brother was here for holidays.So I could not spend much time on my personal stitching.Also many of you girls know that I have bronchitis and it becomes little bad during winter.

To add to all of the above my dad had an accident and he had to undergo surgery to fix all the fractures. He is okay now but needs physiotherapy and some time to recover fully.

Here is a little eye-candy for you all…

                         

This project is coming along well and it's for a class I will be teaching next year.

Next time I'll show you a small chikan embroidery project with a couple of new stitches.

Wishing y'all a very happy,healthy and prosperous new year!

Happy stitching!

Bunnies in the garden

I was thinking about starting a small project after I finished 'needle nook' because the Iris will be a WISP and I wanted to work with some colors because of the whitework WIP's.

I'm very happy to show you all my bunnies in the garden…

                                     

The fabric is linen and the threads are Anchor stranded cotton.So far I've finished the fruits, some leaves, little sand and grass part.The fruits and leaves are so tiny ,1-3 mm in size.I chose to fill both the fruits and leaves with satin stitch.

I can't wait to stitch the bunnies,they are so cute..aren't they? I've already decided to fill them and not just do the outline.Hope it'll work :)

Happy stitching!

Anita.
