Embroidery with Leaf and Geometric Design

A cross stitch weave is made by crossing the second needle over the first needle to create a raised effect on the surface of fabric. In this example of cross-stitched fabric, a base fabric of square linen is embroidered in monochrome silk thread, while a symmetrically-designed pattern in the center depicts broad leaves intertwined with spitha. The garment is also embellished with tassels, adding an air of neatness and beauty.
