Kutchwork

This is one special kind of embroidery from India. And this is closely related to Armenian Embroidery.

The one thing I loved from childhood is Kutchwork. I have seen people working on it but nobody was ready to teach me at that time. They thought I was too young to learn that.
The time passed like anything and I landed in US and was yawning to learn it but no books were found that talked about it.

But, one fine day, I found a blog related to this and some lady designed it and explained it in such a simple way and I was pregnant then, went to the store, got the hoop and practised on a new T-shirt for almost 4 hours. That day I got up at 530 am and practised it. One thing I realised about this is, if you don't practise well, you will definitely lose the touch.

When my mom came for helping me out with delivery and the baby. I showed her the designs I made. She was very impressed and it seems she always wanted a saree with the kutch work design. But, she could never learn it due to the work and all. I have decided to make a saree for my mom, this is going to be surprise though. So, let's see. I already have two things on my mind to surprise her.
