My Creations

I love to design and stitch fashionable outfits.

The hobby started during my school days, when my younger sister was in her nursery.

The first dress that I stitched was for her--- a sleeveless salwar kameez. The sleeveless top was light pink flowery pattern with plain peach colour bottom. It looked great. And motivated me to move further in pursing this hobby.

Next was freel frock. Black for the base and creamy while for the flare. It boosted my enthusiasm. Next came many more like one. Each of which fitted my baby model very well. She was my experimental super-model, who made no fuss of any outfit-failure.

As I stated to attend college, I stitched my own Salwar suites. Everything that I saw, inspired and fascinated me. I even stitched curtains, sofa covers, cushions, and what not!

Once married, time did not permit to explore more, so I had to discontinue my hobby. But one of the wedding gift kept reminding me to re-venture. It was a sewing machine from my sister. On being a parent. ... things changes and was again pushed to stitching, from nappies to baby blanket, bed, mini pillow and so on.

This time, it was my daughter's turn to be my model. Below are few pictures of my creations

Sahana in a Keralan-styled long skirt, which i stitched from my Husband's shaylia.

Shanu in shades of peacock blue/green.Shanu in blue full skirt with green blouse, with green piping and copper-colour work attached

Full flair white with black cheetah print skirt; with a baby pink top and freel to match it. I stitched this for a get-to-gather, at my sis-in-law, this year. 

Peach colour with black print went well with black top and piping for the frock.

To attend Tanu's cradle ceremony, i chose to stitched a black with white polka dots, laced with red satin ribbon and red brooch, that i attached with a safety pin.

A bit of jenes with pink piping for the top went well with the bold multi-colour pattern of the long gown. All accessories are bold multi-coloured: her hair band, bangles and neck piece.

For the engagement ceremony of a cousin, I chose to stitch this lavender colour satin party gown, with side lock, that went well for the evening party.

The left-over's were put to maximum use. The piece of green satin with bronze colour chamki work and the golden colour lace that were the remains of a chocolate box wrapping, was used to make this frock which she wore for a wedding reception.

Inspired by Jyothika, in the song 'Motru ondru...' in the film Kushi, I made this one with a colour change. Replacing the cream colour with peach made it perfect for day and night wear.

The remains after switching a salwar suit from the dress material, was creatively used to stitch this two layer freel frock. All that was spent was the blue satin lace for piping/finishing and zip to fasten.

Many more to follow. Waiting to update with more pic.
