If you look closely, you will not see heavy, traditional embroidery. Instead, you will see thread sketching, where I follow the flow of a line using simple running stitches to bring fabric to life, much like I teach during my museum workshops or when refreshing a vintage stole. When I sit down to work on a textile piece, I am not just stitching. I am sketching. My approach to drawing with thread is about spontaneity. I often use simple running stitches, like the traditional Kantha work, to define shapes on fabric. It is a slow, meditative process. My studio in Noida is where I experiment with these techniques, turning plain fabric scraps or vintage garments into narrative art. Do you have an old stole with metallic borders that feel too stiff? I often soften them by adding colourful thread work. Are you looking to preserve a memory? I can turn your old sarees or fabric scraps into textured story art. I also love facilitating workshops, including sessions at the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art. Whether I am teaching thread sketching or working on a custom commission, my goal is to show how needlework can be expressive and fluid, not just rigid patterns. If you have a piece of clothing or a vision for a textile project, let us talk about how we can make it a reality together. ## About Anjali Mittal I am Anjali. After years of exploring various mediums, I have found that my favourite canvas is often a piece of fabric. I find real joy in slow stitching and helping others express their stories through thread and needlework.
