This all started when I was back in 2015, in Sri Lanka, spending my free hours at home after doing Advanced Level Examination. Fortunately, my Aunt brought me a piece of Salmon Pink fabric along with beads and laces to design a saree. She knew that I definitely get amazed with the offer. I only had a short period of time to finish designing the saree for my Aunt.

Thereupon, this is the stage where I start from the ground up. Researching! I took out my mom's sarees to study how they have turned beads and laces into a very appealing design. After understanding how to develop a design, I grabbed a pencil and a book to sketch a simple looking pattern. I then illustrated it in the computer to see how the pattern will be suitable by laying it under the fabric. My Aunt loved the pattern I was going to develop. From there onwards, morning till night, in a week, I was able to finish the saree.
