Description The present investigation on “Digitizing Conventional Patterns of Gujarat Embroidery
and Product Development” was conducted during 2007-09 with the main objective of
modifying and digitizing conventional Gujarat embroidery motifs and incorporating in hand
woven Dharwad saris. The selected seventeen conventional motifs comprised of six buttas for
the body, three borders for the pallav and eight main motifs above the pallav were planned
and digitized using GC Kala – 2004 with interface Paint Shop Pro (PSP) software. In total
five Dharwad polycotton saris were woven of which one was the hand embroidered (control)
and another four were swivel patterned saris produced on handloom with Jacquard shedding
mechanism. Later, consumer acceptance for these saris was assessed and the cost of
production was estimated.
Thirty each working women and housewives of Dharwad town were interviewed to
assess the extent of acceptance for the swivel pattern saris. More than fifty per cent of the
housewives mentioned that most of the digitized patterns of Gujarat embroidery resembled
wholly with the respective hand embroidered motifs, however, they preferred digitized
patterns. The respondents in general opined that the swivel pattern saris were excellent since
the designs were very attractive, pleasant, eye catching, unique and first of its kind. The cost
of production of saris was relatively lesser than hand embroidered, where the weaver could
earn 25 per cent of net profit per sari.
