UNESCO Award. Riyaz Abdulmajid Khatri was born into the Khatri Community of Dhamadka, a small village in Kutch, Gujarat. which is very famous for traditional Ajrakh hand block print crafts. His forefathers were involved in this art for many generations, but his father had to leave the craft practice and start working as a sailor because of irregular income. After high school, Riyaz abdulmajid khatri had to look for work to support his family. Since there were not many opportunities for getting new jobs, Riyaz Abdulmajid Khatri decided to try his hand at their ancestral traditional ajrakh craft. He learned the craft from his uncles. Once he learned to work, he decided to start on his own with limited resources, since they were not financially well off. With determination slowly establish his work. Initially, he had to do job work for larger artisans in his area as he did not have direct market connections. He saw opportunities in digital platforms. He started to create new products with his own designs. He got the chance to onboard some digital marketplaces like Amazon, etc., which gave him a new way of thinking. He slowly started marketing his folk art in a new way via social media and exhibitions. After gaining confidence, he started experimenting with new materials and techniques to create products and got a good response. In the year 2008, he received the Award of Excellence for Handicrafts 2008 South Asia Programme by UNESCO AND CRAFT COUNCIL OF INDIA.The Award of Excellence for Handicrafts was established by UNESCO in 2001 under the name "Seal of Excellence."

For those of you using a 44-inch wide fabric, this guide suggests measurements for a standard L Size. Think of this as your starting point. If you're working with different sizes or fabric widths, just adjust up or down accordingly. Hope this helps!
When it comes to how much fabric you'll need, it really depends on the design. We'd recommend having a chat with your designer or tailor before you order, just to be on the safe side.

I am not reluctant to recomment iTokri on the basis of my experience. My order was shipped very carefully to UAE and I did receive it in good condition. Personal care was taken by the people at iTokri and this is my second order and experience with iTokri.
I am glad.
From itokri’s best selling blouse pieces, Bengal Kantha Embroidery & Noori bazaar are some most recommended ones.
Silk is one of the best fabrics for making luxurious blouses due to its soft touch, excellent drape, breathability and gorgeous appearance. In addition to silk, cotton blouses are also available.
Choose about 3 feet of fabric for your sari blouse. Most sari blouses are made of cotton because they are a soft, breathable material. If you need a slightly shiny blouse, choose a shiny fabric such as silk or synthetic. One sari blouse requires about 3⁄4 to 1 yard (0.69 to 0.91 m) of fabric.
Stretch fabric is a fabric that has the ability to stretch. It is made of partly elastic fibres such as lycra, elastane and spandex.
