Cross Stitch Birthday

Last 25th was my hubby's Birthday. Instead of gifting dress, greeting card I want to give something different. Initially I had felt cloth embroidery, cross stitch greeting card in my mind. By spending too many days over the net I finalized this Birthday pattern. As I wanted it to be very simple and neat I did not go for too many colors. The full pattern consumed 4.5 days. My hubby was really very happy to see this.

Kutch work on kurta

This time I have worked on the kura which I have already posted. As I felt it was too plain, I added few more motifs to the kurta and the outcome is really good.

Cross stitch on kurta

When I was surfing the net, I came across Chitra's blog with so many embroidery designs. Her blog is simply superb that I cannot resist myself and immediately  started this work. Here is the link to her page. I reproduced this pattern by copying on graph sheet then cross stitched the pattern. To my surprise the design has come out well.

Churidhar

This is my first attempt of stitching an entire set of churidhar. Previously I have stitched two kurtas for rough use with the help of my neighbor. This material had a border, but as it was in black color I have used the bottom material for the sleeves and the slits. The finishing is not perfect, but I can adjust as it is stitched by me.

Cute Kitten

I used to do embroidery during my school days and I did not continue it because of my studies and work tensions. Now I am very happy about this work. I stitched up a cute kitten pattern from doe c doe and the pattern is here.
