About chopad embroidery
.
The Mutva community migrated from Sindh to Kutch 300 years ago. The main profession of people from this community is animal husbandry. They are mainly spread in an area called 'Banni', located in the western part of the Kutch district. Their embroidery is extremely intricate and based on geometrical patterns.
Craftswomen use various stitches and mirrors to create the designs. The women are highly skilled in single-threaded embroidery. They create geometrical shapes using the combination of many types of stitches.
Chain stitch and, along with it, small, colourful mirrors. They reflect the essence of culture and the colours of life that create a magical world.
The main embroidery of the Mutva community is mukko, chopad, gotanv, chakan katari, and pakko. While each style is unique, craftswomen use the terms pakko and kachcho to group these styles.
Pakko styles such as mukko and chopad use one of the pakko stitches as their primary stitch.
Kachcho styles such as katari and bido use a kachcho (fragile) stitch as their primary stitch.
Thank you to craftswomen for doing such a valuable craft, showing their own special strength that can be seen with surprise.
