    Hi everybody,

    Here's a tatting saree done by my friend and colleague. she calls me her mentor as I have told her the colour combination and given her the layout of the saree. Please send your comments. Due to flash the clour of the saree is looking different. It is golden colour silk saree with green tatting border and green beads.

    hello seekout,

    It is very much hand made. you can google on tatting and will find amazing designs but very few have used this craft for doing saree borders. Thanks. i will convey your message.

    The golden color sari is so beautiful. This is lovely work. How long did it take for your friend to finish the sari?

    Thanks all of you. It is so encouraging. I will upload some more within a few days. Prema, the method of doing knots and picots (the 2 main things) of tatting is very clearly demonstrated in youtube. It is a little difficult but if you keep on practicing i am sure you will get the hang of it. It can be done by a shuttle or by knitting needles. Here 2 tatting shuttles have been used. It is finer and more time taking than crochet. The borders are of course embroidery. Beads have been used to make it more attractive. Do give it a try. Hope I could clear some of your doubts.

    It took nearly a year to complete the saree.

    Thanks once again.
