Chikan work can be created on home furnishing items or on apparels whether for men or for women. Initially, only white thread was used for this purpose. But, recently, with growing and changing times, colored threads came in use. Besides, the advent of newer fabrics has also led to the more sophisticated chikan work being done on bed sheets, bed covers, cushions and on clothes. For a more shimmering and scintillating effect, sequins are added on these materials.
