    Very beautiful. I have also bought 5 small kalamkari patches which I would like to attach to my kameez front. I also finished learning Aari embroidery. I have a doubt, should we attach the patches to the kameez and then do the Aari work or should we finish the work on the patches and then attach it to the kameez. Your guidance will be very helpful to me.

    Regards
    Revathi.

    1st i attached the patch to cloth using fabric glue (use vry little glue), then i did the patchwork. U can also do rough running stitches instead of pasting it and u can remove the stitches afterwards.
