Embroidered pattu-langa (pavada)
I’m sharing a few clothes (pattu-langa) that were embroidered for my friends daughters (ages 4 and 10). The benaras fabrics were from Indian Emporium (Somajiguda, Hyderabad) and Kanchi pattu from Nalli silks (Chennai).
Embellished with white and red colored stones and zardosi work, magenta benaras brocade langa (long skirt/lehenga) and pattu blouse.
Embroidered with white and blue colored stones and zardosi work, blue benaras langa.
Embroidered with white colored stones and spring work, maroon kanchi pattu langa.
Embroidered with sliver spring and kundan work, purple silk langa and blouse.
Embroidered with sequin and silver thread and kundan work, blue pattu langa and blouse.

i love the blue lehenga and the red ones too….i think zardosi on pattern looks so much rich than zardosi on plain…..lucky girls who get to dress up so pretty!

sailu, this is just amazing to see indian embroidary in ur blog. fantastic karigari on each and every piece. i recently bought 2 kanchi sarees with kundan work although god knows when i get chance to wear them
January 22nd, 2008 05:40
one question though… how long does it take to finish one saree or lehenga?
It depends on the kind of work involved, Sia. The magenta lehenga took approx 10 days or so as only Riyaz works on it. Sarees take much longer.

They look beautiful sailaja. I like the blue one with zardosi work ery much.
January 26th, 2008 07:38
Hi Sailu,
I just could not take off my eyes from that Blue one. That was so rich and amazing, I think we can try making a saree with that too right, but it must cost too much then.
Are you taking any orders or these are just for showing? Let me know, coz I am interested in ordering something beautiful from you.
Lata
A sari would be expensive if using the same material and yes you can make a sari also. Its a hobby of mine, Lata and I’m just sharing them online.:)

Are you taking any orders..i would like to make an order for pink baneras langa, its superb. Its for my 2 year old daughter. Can you please let me know if you take any orders? Thanks

Thanks very much andi.
I’m happy you all like the clothes and thank you for your kind words, Kalyani. They are benarse brocade materials (first two) which come along with the flower motifs. The motifs have been highlighted with zardosi and stone work. These materials are available at Indian Emporium (Somajiguda-Punjagutta road). Lavender one is from Chennai. Hope this helps you.:)

These are just beautiful. I enjoy your cooking blog and make quite a few of your recipes. My husband and inlaws always loved whatever I made from your blog. I really admire your artistic abilities. It is God’s gift to have the eye, the taste and art to do it. Keep up with the good work and God bless you!!!

Hello Sailugaru,
I greatly admire your passion for cooking and embroidery. I too do embroidery but in a very small scale. In fact I am dying to learn maggam work for years but couln’t. It would be a great help to people like me if you start teaching maggam(atleast basic stitches) like the way you did cooking blog! Any beginner would be able to learn. Looking forward to hear from you.
