Alka, Stumpwork is not very difficult and everything that is required for it is available in Jamnagar. You basically need white or clear organza, 28 guage metal wire that is available at your local store that sells electrical fuses etc.,  DMC or Anchor floss, a hoop for stretching your fabrics, a very sharp pair of scissors and a big, sharp needle with a big eye on it for you wires to go through and of course ground fabric for the main body of your embroidery.  There are lots of books on the subject as well. Good luck and hope to see some of your work on SF.

Hi Alka, I was in India (Delhi and Lucknow) four years ago for the first time; I hope to go back for a visti sometime because I found India so beautiful and interesting. If you'd like the pattern for the octopus, you can find it in my new book, Sew Magical for Kids (on Amazon) or when I finish getting my new studio set up, I'll look into making it into a PDF downloadable file. (This is something new that I'm learning how to do, so it may take awhile. ?) Does your son like sea creatures?
