Gota Patti ( Lappe ka kaam )

                  Gota Patti work also known as " Lappe Ka Kaam ", the most famous work of  "Rajasthan" and origin of this craft. Gotapatti traditionally worked on temple idols, cloths on offering prayer, on royal outfits ( Mughal Era ). These outfits especially worn on auspicious days, weddings.


                  Earlier these Gota ( ribbons ) were made with pure gold and sliver, now a substitute Gota ribbons woven on power loom with cotton (warp) and metal (weft) threads. These Gota are cut into different shapes like circle, leaf ( sometimes small ribbons directly hemmed to enhance borders ) to create a pattern. Gota's  are also folded into shapes like rhomboid to create a border.


                 Gota are first stuck with fabric glue on fabric and then  appliqued using couching, back stitch, chain stitch, hem or running stitch. Gota  has tape at its backside for stiffness and also holds ribbon threads from fraying after cutting into shapes.

    Hi, I am a regular reader of your blog. This is the first time I am commenting though...

    I want to know the shop or the rough location of the place where you bought the gota. Where exactly in commercial street..because I see only shops selling dresses there.
    One more thing...do you get them in pre cut shapes or did you do that yourself?

    I am interested in getting some gota work done. but the design that i want has gota in very unusual C kind of shapes with one end of the C tapering while the other end of the C broadens. Will they have precut gota available in this shape? Or can i get around 50 C s cut in this shape in one go before couching them in.

      Hi Shubh, actually i haven't come across such shapes, usually it will be round, leaf or tear drop shape. You can get Gota stripes, and cut accordingly to your pattern, i don't advise to cut in one go as shape varies, but you can try at least five at a time.Happy stitching !!
