While He Naps…

That's his gesture to show that he is sleepy. 
Though almost everyday we work on designs but creating something for someone close always brings joy. I love to design and gift handmade stuffs., but with the super active kid hardly get time to do so. All my passion now comes to reality when he naps. Made the following products with some of the scrap fabrics that were lying in the closet for a long time. Thought of sharing the pictures with you.

I wanted a traditional Kurta for my one and half year old gentleman for the Durga Puja. My trusted tailor ‘S’ dada obliged me with his amazing craftsmanship. The white malmal material was a little more than 1 meter, which I combined with some strips of Kantha worked borders (after using the broder on a saree) and some wooden buttons.

I made this with some unused fabric (remains of a salwar suit) combined with a strip of hand worked piece.

The remains of two-salwar material went on to making this for the sonny boy.
If you ever carefully measure you would be amazed at how much fabric remains unused when you make a salwar suit. The entire bag (16”X12”X4”) was made from the leftover fabric of a salwar suit. The printed lining was used from another one. I made this for my Sis in law to carry the stuffs of my niece.
And this cutesy doll was made long back. She is very good and always keeps my bindis in her pocket.



I promised on my very first post to share some of my craft work but it took a long time. but am glad that am finally able to do so. hope you like it.
