The cutwork silk sarees technique

The handcrafted cutwork saree is an interesting culmination of modern artwork techniques that are applied on a range of different weaves to produce interesting outcomes. As the name suggests, parts of the fabric are cut away to create a palette for embroidery or applique work.

The interesting aspect of this kind of saree is the manner in which fabric is cut and the raw edges worked upon. The cuts are left as is or filled with a lighter fabric depending on the pattern, size of the cut, etc. This kind of cutwork produces interesting texture and variation in colour when draped and is favoured by women across all age groups.
