Jacobian Couching and Back Stich as filling



My Parents house is a haven for studies, crafts and sports. My Mom, a pedriatician, in her spare time designs and embroiders sarees and Kurthas for us.

This design I had picked it up from a design book "Needle N Thread" and worked on with only 2 solid colours Yellow and Black in a Blue Cotton Fabric.

Simple Beading on Dresses

The Flower beads are sewed into the fabric to form a elegant pattern

This is a Dress made for my Daughter by her Aunt. It was a Navy Blue Plain dress. I choose some flower shaped beads and formed a simple pattern on the dress. I glued it using fabric glue and then sewed them on to the fabric. Voila the palin dress is now elegant.
