Gheekanta is the area in Ahmedabad, India that has a very big market of sewing material. Ahmedabad is one of the biggest cities in India famous for the textile market. The market houses numerous industry outlets and local vendors selling sewing material, mainly threads and yarns. The huge market does not have an identity and being situated in a very crowded area of the city it is very difficult to find the market and hence the sellers lose business opportunities. I decided the create an icon for the Thread and Needle which can be further used in different applications.

Refining the most appropriate form
Simplification of the image was directed towards making the object more relatable and less rigid.
