Welcome Winter!: Crochet for Bihu

Hello everyone,

Feeling happy...

Lots of activities this month...Bihu, our trip to Orlando and our anniversary :-)

I'm from a place where we celebrate new year in April, which is called Bihu. We Assamese of Boston are going to celebrate it on 18th of April. Planning to wear our traditional dress, mekhla sador. Wanted a potli bag to go with my attire but I didn't have any. Thought it would be better to make one. So, here it is...

I had left over fabric from the blouse, so I used it for the lining of the bag.

I used the beads from an old necklace for this...

And, I made a lovely crochet blouse for my princess Tia to wear with our traditional dress, mekhla sador for the Bihu function.

I bought a mekhla sador set for my daughter from Assam before relocating to US but could not get the blouse. And without a blouse the attire is not complete. So, I made this blouse for her....it fits her beautifully. I'm very happy that she can finally wear it.
