Work In Progress On Wednesday – Kutchwork on a Kurta
My work in progress series is stepping to third week. I started this with the post of Dress design .
This week sharing about the Kutchwork on a Kurta. I have shared How to trace design on stitched Kurta in my previous post. On the same Kurta I am starting to embroider Kutch work design.
Here is the Kurta with design traced on it:

There are some mistakes, I can correct those as it is a geometrical design. The Kurta is in wine color, choosing between pink and light purple for the embroidery. Normally Kutch work looks good with bright color, hope this color look good because of the combination.

Mural work looks neat and perfect. If I trace the design on a stitched dress I used to trace it segment by segment. Yes we can correct the design while stitching in kutch work. Looking forward for the finished work.
Thank you
the mural on Bamboo is fantastic. I love the kurtha colour and the thread colours. looking forward to see the progress on this project.

Thank you Chitra.
I checked the last two posts you've mentioned here. But this Kerala Mural beats everything. It's so-so pretty. Also, I love the dark color combination you have opted for embroidery.
Even I loved the Kerala Mural Saru. Thank you.
Beautiful mural work, Ranjana:) love the vibrant colors, great job!
Looking forward to your Kutch work. I have earlier done Kutch work on a bedsheet but I mostly rely on my hand drawing because tracing has always been an annoying task for me.
Thank you Preeti

Thank you.
The kerala mural has come out very well, Ranjana. Great work!! How many strands of the thread are you using for Kutch work? Wouldn't cotton threads be easier to do?
Yes Deepa, I will use cotton thread for this kutchwork. Thank you!
Wow! Amazing!!!
The mural looks fabulous! I love the intricacy with which it is done, also the thread work looks lovely, I like the color pink for the thread.
nice work
