She encouraged women to take this craft more seriously in a professional way. She laid the foundation of Kantha embroidery which later became so popular. Kantha embroidery had given employment to women. It is helping women to be entrepreneur and self sustained.<\/p>\n<p>Many designers have also given a contemporary look to kantha such as Tarun Thaliani\u2019s summer \/ resort collection of 2013. Kantha is now no more limited to household items after many craft innovations and designers worked on kantha. Unlike earlier, rich fabrics are being used to add a dimension to the embroidery to reach the niche market by creating innovative products. There are many products on which kantha is used now a days for example silk saris , cushions, pants, jackets, \u00a0home furnishings etc. The craft is finding a newer way in the hearts of people and becoming more commercialized day by day.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-340 \" src=\"https:\/\/satyamfashion.ac.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image007-e1600235007574.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"419\" height=\"280\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-341\" src=\"https:\/\/satyamfashion.ac.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image008.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"416\" height=\"458\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-339\" src=\"https:\/\/satyamfashion.ac.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image006.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"412\" height=\"458\" \/>Fig.4.
