From precise single makkhi stitches to intricate Fatemi patterns, I combine time-honoured hand embroidery with sharp machine finishing to craft your perfect Bohra attire.

A sneak peek into the different types of embroidery I offer. You can see the fine finishing on both the gold and brown threadwork, all done with great attention to detail.

This is a close-up of a hand-embroidered saya kurta. The design is done in a single-tone, Farmaan-approved color, with a neat makkhi stitch along the paan.

This is a classic Fatemi design, also known as the 'honeycomb' stitch. It is a very traditional hand embroidery style that I do on the collar and paan for a timeless look.

About The Art of Embroidery: Hand & Machine Work

The difference between my machine and hand embroidery often comes down to the occasion, as machine work is excellent for durable, everyday comfort, but for Ziyafat or weddings, my hand-done Makkhi and Zardosi work adds that authentic, textured detail that simply cannot be replicated by a machine.
