About Custom & Commissioned Hand Embroidery
Why Hand Embroidery Matters to Me
Embroidery is more than just making something pretty. For me, it’s about stories and memories stitched into cloth - sometimes it’s a saree you want to pass down, sometimes it’s just making an old kurta feel special again. I started this journey because I love the slow, mindful process and the way every custom piece means something personal.
What We Can Make Together
- Custom saree embroidery on silks, cottons, or even that plain blouse sitting in your cupboard. Want Zardosi, Kasuti, or a mix? We try it all.
- Men’s kurtas and kids’ wear aren’t left behind - hand embroidery can be for everyone.
- Upcycled embroidered clothing is big for me. If you’ve got an old Kanjeevaram or a favorite top, let’s give it a fresh story.
- Home and lifestyle: think framed hoop art, or even quirky stuff like embroidered phone case inserts.
My Craft & Approach
I’ve been doing this since 1999, and I’m GI certified in traditional Kasuti embroidery. That means you’re getting real, heritage-quality work. I use over 25 styles, from Kantha to Sashiko, depending on what fits your vibe.
The Process
We’ll chat about your idea, figure out the design together, then I do my thing, slowly stitching it to life. Sometimes it takes a while, but that’s what makes each piece feel special and not mass produced.
If you want personalized hand-stitched art or just want to see how upcycling can give new life to your closet, I’m here for it.

My Story
We’re Sameeksha. Embroidery isn’t just decoration for us—it’s memory, emotion, and a bit of amma’s (mom’s) wisdom stitched in. Started this place so those stories don’t get lost. Every time a student makes something new—like earrings for her little one—it’s pure magic. Needle, thread, and a lot of heart. Teaching hand embroidery keeps us connected, gives us joy. It’s addictive, honestly. Once you start, you’ll see.
My Work
Hand Embroidery Courses & Workshops - We teach 25+ styles, including Kasuti embroidery classes and Kantha stitch workshops. Beginners and enthusiasts welcome.
Custom Embroidered Apparel & Sarees - We design and sell unique hand-embroidered sarees, blouses, stoles. Custom orders to match your ideas, even rejuvenate old clothing embroidery.
Personalized Designs, Not Trends - You tell us your colors, motifs, we stitch your story. Each piece is made for you, not the market.
Attention to Technique and Neatness - Neatness matters. Kasuti work—no knots, both sides look just as good. We care about the craft.
Embroidery for Well-being - Embroidery is meditative. Our sessions help you find patience and satisfaction, one stitch at a time.
