Its already a week or so since i posted my first post, time for the next one.........Time flies:-)
well, this ia a kalamkari patch which i have attached to a Kurti, i think it its looking good but i did not have a matching motif to be sewn for the sleeves. hmmmm
then sat down to do a similar motif in aari work because i dont know kalamakri:-(
I think the result turned out to be good as well. what do u think????????????

Now coming to a stitch this week, i think i will be posting it in a day or two. Do come by and have a look.



This is a picture of the Algerian stitch that i had posted last week. you can use it in this way too!!!!
Any guesses as to where i would be using these patches????????????
Keep guessing and have fun too

hello everybody

As i had said earlier, in this post i will be giving a tutorial for a stitch and the stitch is Algerian stitch .I hope you find this useful. Though it looks very simple you can incorporate this stitch in your designs very beautifully.

Algerian eye stitch is also called as a Star stitch, mostly used in counted thread embroidery,but i use it in free style too.

Place your piece of fabric in a embroidery hoop,and the fabric should be taut. Mark the numbers as shown in figure1. In this diagram the stitches are numbered and not the needle entries.Always come up at the numbered spot and go down at the center as shown in figure 2.
This will create an eye at the center.
Now it is up to to your imagination to try and incorporate this simple yet beautiful stitch:-)
