Elegant Feather Stitch on Kurti

Hello readers,

Season's Greetings! It's been a really long time. I wanted to end the year 2020 on a positive note, by resuming my blog. I am happy to be back, in this familiar space to share and catalog what I really enjoy doing!

And today, I would like to share a really simple but elegant stitch, the Feather stitch. I have used it on a neckline and sleeve hem of my Kurti.

Unfortunately, I did not take detailed pictures of my work. But here's how I did it. 

I started at the top of the neckline on one side, followed along the neckline and ended at the tip of the V opening. Since I wanted the design to be as symmetrical as possible, I started at the top on the other side and ended at the tip of the V opening.

If you would like to try this stitch, here is the tutorial for Feather Stitch.

I would like to end today's article by saying 'Thank you' to my wonderful family and friends for motivating and inspiring me to start blogging again. 

 

Wishing everyone a Happy and Safe 2021!

Feather Stitch

Hello everyone,

Here is a short tutorial on Feather Stitch.

I have used a checkered fabric here to demonstrate the symmetry of the stitches.

Step 1. Bring the needle up as shown.

Step 2. Push the needle down at a point diagonal to the starting point and bring it up at the point shown, keeping the thread UNDER the needle.

Complete the stitch by pulling the thread up (but not too tight).

 

Step 3. Repeat the previous two steps on the other side.

Continue in the same way alternating the sides.

Try to keep the stitch length uniform and aligned as shown below
