I was amazed to see what Ludhiana could do in my recent trip there for a friends wedding. The fashionable Punjabi women make the most of what is available in seemingly plenty out there - huge pools of talent. Embroidery, dyeing, incredible tailors and a sea of beautiful fabric to choose from as well as gorgeous borders and laces and the list simply never ends !
I decided I wanted to get a skirt made - in two days and it happened! I bought a white ''dyeable'' crepe
material and walked across the street to see the guy do this to get me the exact colour that I was looking for.
nothing less. I wanted to share this incredible process with you !
Wanted to take these back home with me. A mouth watering collection of coloured powders (dyes)
He then adds the colours with great flair into this pot of boiling water
A few minutes later - voila! My gorgeous now bright orange fabric emerges!
And all the water goes down a drain. I shudder to think of the chemical pollution there.
Incredible to watch, and I wish I had my own personal dyeing place here as well. I would go crazy and dye all my things !
