About Behind the Stitches
When you order from me, I don’t just pull an item off a shelf. My process is entirely 'dheeme dheeme'—slow-made with patience and care. I spend time sourcing the right yarn, hand-stitching each detail, and personally packaging every order to ensure it feels like a warm hug when it reaches you. Because everything is handmade, custom pieces typically take 10 to 21 days to craft, so if you have a specific date in mind, let’s chat a bit early.
How I Craft Your Pieces
My studio is where the magic happens. Whether I am working on a custom bouquet, a name sweater for a newborn, or a statement decor piece, I follow a slow, intentional process. It starts with a conversation about your vision. We discuss colours, themes, and personal details to ensure the final piece feels exactly like what you imagined.
I believe in creating beauty that doesn't cost the Earth. My process is zero-waste, meaning I save every scrap of yarn for smaller crafts like keychains, coasters, or applique flowers. When you choose a handmade item, you are supporting a sustainable, slow form of fashion that is the opposite of mass-produced goods.
Why 'Dheeme Dheeme'?
'Dheeme dheeme' means going gently. For me, crochet is therapy. When I sit with a hook and yarn, it’s not just about finishing a product. It is about stitch-by-stitch healing. That energy goes into every loop. You won’t find rushed seams or flimsy stitches here. I use quality milk cotton and acrylic blends that are durable, soft, and easy to maintain.
Logistics and Care
I am based in Shivaji Nagar, Bengaluru. If you are nearby, you are welcome to pick up your order directly from my studio. If you are further away, I ship across India with eco-friendly kraft paper packaging and a personal note from me.
Whether you need a custom gift for your 'pasandida aurat' or a piece to brighten your own home, I am here to help. Just send me a message with your idea, and we can start creating together.
