#gudri #bichawano#gudro (quilts and bedding)gudri is a thin layers of fabric sewed together for the purpose of bedding or use it as quilts or bedcovers which was handy and portable.Even was also converted into hemlocks for kids or kids mattresses.
Long time back when when people were not able to afford something to wear and fabric were considered as luxurious thing . In those days worn out clothes, which could no longer be wore, were collected and then these clothes were put as fillers in-between two layers of fabric which was less used or less defected if it was defected patch was work was done above it to cover the defeat or whole in the above layer fabric and then continuous stitches were done to hold them at their place. These were then used as quilts ,as a mattresses for kids and adults both this craft came out to fulfil the basic requirements of the person with what they have .reuse of old clothes and spending less money on the things to save the money . Ladies in Rajasthan started making these gudries by using swatch of bright colour fabric to make it more attractive as tribal people earlier didn’t had bed sheets or bed covered to put on beds therefore they try to make these multipurpose gudri’s in the most attractive manner by using different stitch of embroidery And colourful swatch of old fabric .It is still practiced in villages of Rajasthan but getting less day by day .
