Bio: Hello! I'm Asmita, the 'elephant' who is spending increasingly more time in her study to do sewing, rather than well....studying. This is a place where I hope to record my sewing adventures and perhaps share a little bit about my life. Thank you for stopping by!
U have inspired me to sew something ….definitely …I will be a regular here….

Hello Rigzin, Thank you for visiting; I am so happy to have you here :-). I am not originally from Delhi, but I have been here for a little over a year and a half and will be happy to help you with a few things I’ve found. The place I usually go to in Nehru Place. H.P.Singh in Nehru place is excellent for cottons and what not. There are a couple of other shops around there as well with knits, lovely lace work and stuff. Worth checking out. There is also kilol in GK I market with some printed mulmul, and an upholstery place next to Cafe Coffee Day in Meherchand Market that keeps some printed cotton/linen which is very sewing worthy. For buttons, notions that kind of stuff I hear Shankar market (Connaught place) is good but I haven’t been there. besides this I think there are places in old delhi but I am not too sure about them. Hope this helps! And have a very lovely visit to delhi and india.
OMG, you do live in Delhi!
Yes! How exciting to ‘meet’ a fellow Delhi blogger.
