Works In Progress On Wednesday- Saree design with lace

This week I have started saree design with lace. Actually I am designing two sarees. One with readymade lace.

The plain saree and the laces

This is a plain silk like saree. On this I am attaching  two readymade laces side by side. This doesn’t have much work, as I am attaching the laces using sewing machine. Designing a saree with readymade lace is always a quick way to design a saree.

The another one is crumpled, tie and dye saree. On this I am attaching the tatted motifs. But this will take quite a some time. I have just finished a saree with tatted lace and motifs. It took me nearly eight months to complete the designing. Here is the saree now I am designing with tatted motifs:

The threads and the fabric

I have purchased some beautiful tatting threads. I was looking for some matching fabrics for designing. I will be making many such tatted motifs and attaching all over the saree. I know it is going to take too much time, as I need to make minimum fifty motifs of each thread. But after making the saree with a lace tatted, I am excited to make this. Hope this too I will complete soon.

I have completed a saree with Kasuti embroidery on it. In the next post I will share about the Kasuti saree.

Until then,

Love, Laugh and Live the life to the fullest,
