The word Appliqué is derived from the French verb appliquer, meaning to put on. It refers to a
textile craft in which the decorative effect is obtained by super posting patches of colored fabrics
on a basic fabric, the edges of the patches being sewn in some form of stitches.
It is distinct from what is known
as patch work in which small
pieces of fabrics are usually
joined side by side to make a
large piece of fabric or for
repairing a damaged fabric.
Though the form is not unknown
in other parts of India, it is
Orissa and especially in Pipli
village that the craft has a living
and active tradition continuing
over centuries.
The process of making an
appliqué work is, the craftsman
first prepares the base material in
the shape of square, rectangle

contrasting colors are then cut in
the shape of animals, birds,
flowers, leaves, celestial bodies
and geometrical shapes. These
motifs are then stitched into the
base cloth in aesthetic
arrangements.
