My original pattern...



Vikas with smiling face happy with his out-fit..

I designed and made it all myself, of course. The jacket and 3/4th pant/paddle pant(named at that time). I bought this red-orange corduroy fabric from Namdhari’s the famous store than, I didn’t swatch for the fabric lehgth and I have to rush thrice to fetch the cloth in small-small pieces.

I made it when he was about six, I guess, and he wore it for years (the jacket; I made the side seam for growing room).

I made the dress with one colour. But in th efashion world, colour-blocking is in. you might fret that you look ridiculous wearing an orange dress and maroon gloves, but you will find that designers are actually creating single-piece garments in literal blocks of stark colour contrasts. For the daring fashionista, choosing contrasting colours from opposite ends of the colour wheel can result in surprisingly appealing combinations. Here are the rules to the art of colour-blocking:

colour wheel

  • Three is the magic number
  • Keep colours in the same family
  • Be loud and proud
  • Keep it simple

Discover analogous, triadic, and split-complementarycolour combinations.

I have an addiction.

काचरियाँ कै दिनाँ मैं.....


मेरी दादी..अर.काचरी..
मेरी दादी रात न खिचङी खाण कै बखत(काचरियाँ कै दिनाँ मैं) काचरी छोलया करदी मैं दादी की लाडली थी खिचङी खाये पाछ उसकै धोरैए बैठी रैया करदी। कई बर इसा होंदा अक मेरी दादी काचरी छोलीं जांदी अर मैं खाईं जांदी, ईसी मिठी लागदी अक सब के सवाद नयारे-नयारे, नुँ जाणदी अक इबकाअल दखाँ काचरी किसी पावैगि। मेरी दादी रोलै करण लागदी, हे छोरी के होया ईसा ऐक भी काचरी बोईयै में कोनी पङंदी, कितणी बार होगी मनैं छोलदी हाँण।

काचरी चटनी
लहासी का गिलास
दादी इस ढाल अक एक छोतक लिकङा करदा बीच मैं किते नहीं टुटदा। दादी घणीये काचरी छोल-छोल कीं सुखाया करदी, सारी साल चटणी मैं गेरण खातर। काचरियाँ की चटणी भोत आछी बणया करै।

इसने बणाण खातर आपिंनै चाईयें किमे साबत लाल मिरच-सुखोङी, लहसण, थोङा सा नूण हर थोङी लहासी

अर या चटणी कुंडी सोटै तैं घणी बढिया बणा करै।

बणाण का तरिकाः

छोलोड़ी कचरियां में साबत लाल मिर्च लहसन आर नमक घाल कीं कुण्डी सोटे तं खूब कूट ल्यो अर जिद कूट जां तो दही घाल कीं खूब रगड़ ल्यो .

बढिया चटनी बण जागी. इब इसनें चाहे तो बाजरे की रोटी सतीं खाओ या मेसी रोटी सतीं.

अलूणी घी

रोटी, अलूणी घी, अर एक लहासी का गिलास सारे पकवान एक कानी अर यो पकवान एक कानीं.

My article in WE

Woman's Era is leading magazine of India in English

this article is on 1006 page of WE April 2nd 2010 ....

Be your own masters for lingerie’s… Putting it on

Believe it or not, I am my master for all my wrappers… I use to stitch my own bra and knit, crochet and sew all my dresses and accessories.

Inspirational people…

Who inspired me for this was my mother. She was daughter of rural aristrocat family and she taught me how to sew crochet and knit.

Since I was eight years old, I knew I wanted to be my own designer and by doing this help others, guiding others to help and give correctional and helpful tips.

Reminding great granny and granny days…

This took me by surprise. The Japan based Wacoal company has been making and selling loincloths for women since 2-3 year. Called a fundoshi, it’s basically a rectangle piece of fabric with ties.....

Can anyone believe that in Haryana the women were used to wear lingery above ghagra, their back remaind naked. Today the lingery is worn under clothing. I remember that her Grandma used to tell my mom that their mother always wore “aangi”. I also remember when a dress was gifted to anyone it was always wrapped with “aangi” over it. A gifted women clothing was always wrapped over with “aangi.” Even a chunni gift was wrapped with aangi, saying meri bhabhi ne mujhe “ aangi latta” “chunni aur aangi” di hai.

I remember the aangi was beautifully stitched using fabrics of different colours and flowers.....more ...
