Initially, a sketch of the pattern is drawn on the butter paper. The paper is then put on the piece of cloth, which is tightly tied to a rectangular frame called adda. Tiny holes following the pattern are made on it with a needle. A solution of chalk powder and kerosene is then applied on the drawing, which seeps through the holes and replicate the exact pattern on the cloth. A sewing needle and a thread is then used to stitch the raised motifs with moti (beads) and sitaare (sequins). Then the cloth is given to the tailor who stitches it in the desired shape and does the final fitting. Chains, threads, zips or handles are attached to it, according to the requirements.
