The Ralli

Ralli patchwork quilts of Sindh are made by women of the region as cottage industry.

Tuk,Aplik work
 This lovely art work ... very much like the patchwork quilts .... are a delight for the eyes. Beautiful patterns developed out of small color co-ordinated or even random pieces of cloth, come to life in an exquisite piece of hand-made wonder.
Most of the workers in this field are women from rural and low income urban areas. The women entrepreneurs provide them with designs and material to work from the house and earn a decent living...











Ajrak  is a name given to a unique form of blockprint shawls and tiles found in Sindh, Pakistan. Ajrak is also worn by the Seraiki people of Southern Punjab and Kutch. These shawls display special designs and patterns made using block printing by stamps. Common colours used while making these patterns may include but are not limited to blue, red, black and yellow.
