I found someone to help me out for a little bit in July.

Local craftsmen aka Karigar, while skilled, are less open to more peculiar tasks/techniques than one would expect. After a few referrals, I finally landed on someone who had a few days off from his regular job. Mr. Shamroz runs his own tailoring shop in a neighborhood 20 mins away from me. He agreed to come help me for a few days.

The first few hours were spent in getting him familiar with the task at hand, patterning for different embroideries, machine settings, threads I use, and common errors that I faced when I started and he might too. The rest of the day was spent on a new piece I was working on at the time. Him working on the bench where I usually spend so much time gave me time to document the process. These stills were taken in my workspace (my room).
