Gavanti and Muragi Patterns
These Kasuti patterns use Gavanti and Muragi stitches and can be printed onto an A4 size page for practice. Click on each image to see an enlarged version.
The patterns are in black and red, each color denoting a single continuous stitch flow. This might be helpful to some. More patterns will be added as I acquire and prepare them.

Next, go to the detailed Kasuti lessons:
Sarah has been researching and sharing hand embroidery lessons for over 17 years, making it accessible to everyone around the globe.
That’s so lovely. I was not able to find this particular buti which my mother taught me. I am now getting time to carry forward the heirloom. But when tried my buti is not coming the same behind. Something is going wrong. Help please!
I am also waiting for those Indian Hand Embroidery pictures. It seems that you haven’t posted them yet.
bonjour. merci pour le partage de ces jolis motifs que l’on pourra associer et broder en couleurs.
Hi. thankyou very much for the kasuthi lessons. I have long back left all these, but when I went through this lessons – step by step, I refreshed every thing, and already started with the motifs, wanna try for some long borders.

Dear Carmen,
Thanks for writing. If I have understood you right, you want to send me samples of embroidery? To do this, you can upload the embroideries by using the function right below the comment box. I will then be able to tell you what embroidery it is. I hope this helps. Pardon me if I have not understood you properly.
Best wishes.
Hi Sarah!
Thank you so much for uploading the patterns.
Can you give me some individual designs / patterns for Salwars?
Viji
Dear Vijayalakshmi,
Thanks. You can print these page and use the designs as individual patterns. The third and fourth sheets of patterns can be used as borders.
