Aavaran Applique Double Bedsheet Light Pink

What does the pattern on the Aavaran bedsheet look like?

The surface is scattered with small dash shapes and tiny flowers in a deeper tone of the base colour. Being small in scale, the motifs keep the look light and airy, and the repeat spreads evenly across the bed up to the band along the edge.

What gives this design its character?

It is the scatter of small dashes. Because the motifs are tiny and spaced out, the bed reads as softly textured rather than busy, and the mauve appliqué against the dusty pink base adds just enough contrast to catch the eye up close.

How is the appliqué done on this piece?

Small pieces of fabric are cut into dashes and flower shapes, then stitched by hand onto the cotton base. This layering is what gives appliqué its texture and contrast. The work is done in Barmer by a women's self-help group led by master artisan Babulal.

What is the best way to clean it?

Dry cleaning is preferred for this bedsheet. If you choose to wash it yourself, go for a gentle hand wash with mild detergent, wash it separately from other items, and dry it in the shade.

Is it sized for a double bed?

Yes, it is designed for a standard double bed. Being cotton, it is soft, breathable and comfortable, so it works as the bedsheet you sleep on every day while the appliqué adds a handcrafted touch to the room.

Can it be customised?

Yes, customisation is available at an additional cost. Each bedsheet is cut and stitched by hand by a women's self-help group in Barmer led by master artisan Babulal, and as with any handmade piece, small variations in the patches are natural.
