SALWAR AND KAMEEZ

Hi friends i finished this dress 1 week before.But now only i have got time to post it.This is
the most beautiful masterpiece among all my creations in the sewing category.Actually this fabric is a left over material after stitching one KAMEEZ for me.I am not a skilled person;Just beginner
only.But i could feel that my sewing skill is improving day by day.I am very happy about it.
 this one is a very cute Kameez with parallel pant.

This is the kurti.Here the machine embroidery gives a rich look.I like it very much.Contrast color pipping adds more beauty for this.

Zipper is attached here.I am more comfortable with this.

This is a salwar.Actually it is a parallel pant.Here i attached one contrast colour border in its

bottom.I think Pant with border is more beautiful than the plain pant.

In truth my daughter is more interested in wearing this.She likes it very much.She is so crasy about it.Here are Some of her snaps .These snaps are taken when day meets night.So they are not much clear..

 Thank you all of you friends for dropping your lovely comments on my blog which showed me a great enthusiasm  to do more best.Thanks a lot.

THREAD BOX

Hi this is my new craft work, box for keeping threads. 

If we arrange these threads in the following way we can find out the required  thread without opening that box. All things used here are waste things only.

1. Sweet box

2. Pins

3. Thermocole sheet

4. Glass sheet

PROCEDURE:

clean the sweet box. Since we have to use this box for storing threads, wipe out oil from this box.

2.Cut thermocole sheet into a required size piece and stick it in the box as in the picture and Next fix all those pins in a required interval for keeping threads in between them. Then leave some space around the upper portion and cut its inner portion using a sharp knife and remove it.

3.Next stick a glass sheet over the portion which we already removed. We should stick it in the wrong side of the upper portion.

4.Now it looks like this…………

5.Then arrange our threads as our wish. 

Our thread box is ready to use.

I use these boxes for keeping red family and green family threads separately.

I love macrame work very much.So i tried lot of macrame projects.Among these this is somewhat different.Yes.......................here i used one knot  different  from other knots in my earlier projects.I don't know the exact name of that knot.But i know it is a variation of the square knot.It gives butterfly effect.It adds more beauty for this hanger.

We can knot it at the back side of this dress.This is used for the exact fitting .

THAI PONGAL CELEBRATION

Thai Pongal is a harvest festival of Tamil people in India. Usually it is celebrated in the first day of the Tamil month THAI. It is also a biggest festival for Tamil people. Its intension is to thank the god SURYA (SUN) and creatures and materials (tools) that helped human for his cultivation in a whole year. People consecrate their first grain to the god SURYA (SUN) .Pongal means “boiling over”. When the milk is boiling over people shouted “Pongola pongal” .At this time they add new harvested rice in the pot. Seeing the Boiling over of milk in a clay pot is trusted by giving good luck and prosperity. People put some kolams in their door steps and dedicate newly cooked rice, sugar cane, sweets, vadai, sweetened rice, milk and harvested vegetables to the god SURYA.Here we draw a simple kolam in our doorstep. My elder daughter was very interested to color it using color powders.But my younger daughter is very interested in wiping that kolam.What a naughty baby is she!

I WISH A VERY VERY HAPPY PONGAL TO ALL MY DEAR FRIENDS

FROCK

Like all my creations in sewing category ,this is also one of  my favourite dresses.Here i used two same type of fabrics in contrast colors,blue and mango color.cut them as stripes and join them.So we can get so many partitions.Here i join them alternatively.Embroidered small flowers scattered in its skirt portion.Pleats are used here in its skirt portion.

In its yoke portion i did a small applique work and embroidery had been done around it. In its neck and sleeve side i did both machine and hand embroideries.

In its centre i stitched a small flower and a kundhan stone was glued in its centre.
