Maggam Hand Embroidery Jhumka Design for Boat Neck Blouse
Maggam work, with its signature raised thread effect, is perfect for creating statement jewelry designs directly on your blouse. A jhumka (dangling earring) motif on a broad boat neckline is an incredibly trendy and elegant look for 2024.
Why it Works: The boat neckline provides a beautiful, wide canvas that frames the face, mimicking the posture of wearing actual statement jhumkas. It’s a brilliant two-in-one style solution.
The Process:
Trace the Design: Sketch a classic jhumka shape—a round or teardrop base with a dangling element—onto the blouse fabric.
Build the Base: Using a thick thread (like crochet thread) or multiple strands of embroidery floss, outline the entire design using a couching stitch. This is where you lay the thick thread on the fabric and use a finer thread to tack it down at regular intervals. This creates the raised, outlining effect Maggam is known for.
Fill It In: Use zardosi stitches (like a tightly packed long and short stitch) or sequins to fill in the sections of the jhumka, creating a metallic, jeweled appearance.
