Video tutorials: Indian embroidery

Responding to a tip from a reader, Deepa Balagopal of This and That… blog has uncovered a treasure trove of information and demos for Indian ethnic embroidery techniques. Deepa says,

Mridula Nagarajan is well known across South India for her embroidery classes run through the Mridulas school of embroidery and fashion design for over 30 years. And it is not often that we get to see videos of Indian embroidery methods posted by the master herself.

Mridula’s school of embroidery has uploaded about 203 videos covering not only Chikan work,but other Indian embroidery methods like Phulkari, Kantha, Kutch, Kashmiri, Kasuti etc. Additionally there are plenty of freestyle embroidery stitch videos too. So, girls, if you want to see Indian embroidery in action go and have a look.

Thanks for sharing this, Deepa! And thanks to her reader Sarita J
