Hi Raji,

Excellent work. I am wondering how you trace the patterns in the whole saree? Do u do with tracing paper and carbob paper(usual way) or any shop near by u does the pattern tracing for you?

Which is the best place to buy plain tusser material? I would like to do some work too. Can we also do in plain chiffon sarees? But tracing is the biggest problem..

Do you do maggam embroidery too? I have been dying to learn that? Anyone could teach it?

hi all,

i trace designs in the usual way.[using carbon].

4 tusser silk , as this material is transparent 2 an extent.v can keep the design under the sari n draw.

but 4 gorgette type it is more difficult as v have 2 use carbon.

my daughter ammu helps me in tracing.

v can get good tusser silk material at JAYALAKSHMY SILKS, ERNAKULAM.

kantha work is just RUNNING stitch, which v shud do carefuly 2 get perfection.

2 work the complete sari ,i took abt 2 months [not ful time work].

regards raji.
