    FAQ – materials for embroidery – threads, fibers & fabrics

    2014/08/27

    Recently I already posted about research & medieval embroidery inspiration and today I will answer another question of one of my dear blog members about my materials for embroidery – my threads, fibers and fabrics. 🙂 The actual question was: “…where do you buy the threads or fibers, and materials that they might have used back then?”.

    FAQ – research & medieval embroidery inspiration – some personal thoughts based on 14years of experience

    2014/08/21

    Recently one of my blog members asked me a very simple but also very important question: Where shall she start her research? Well, though this question seems to be a very simple one, the answer is by far not simple. And I really think that this is actually one of the most simple but also most interesting questions I was ever asked about my work.

    Personal thoughts about hand-sewing and hand-embroidery…

    2014/03/25

    After my recent posting with which I started my new “fast and easy pouch tutorial (handsewn)“- I started working at the first step for the second  “Craft with Racaire” project. Thinking about the new project, about hand-sewing and hand-embroidery, I remembered the problems some people have when it comes to hand-sewing and/or hand-embroidery or when they are just thinking about trying it. I know that for many people just the thought of doing some hand-sewing or hand-embroidery is already scary and intimidating. In my opinionthis feeling is absolutely natural and I can tell from my experience that it is not limited to hand-sewing. It seems that especially newcomers seem to suffer from it.…

    FAQ – concerning my new blog – why I restrict content to registered members

    2014/03/02

    FAQ – concerning my new blog No, you don’t need to have a wordpress account – you can still access my new blog without an account and also see a lot of my content. Due to recent copyright issues, I have elected to protect my efforts and research by creating a more secure format. After I took down my blog completely I was contacted by multiple viewers and asked to start blogging again and they proposed a membership system. I liked this idea of posting in a protected environment because it will prevent my content from further copyright issues as well as any further information and tutorials I am going to…

    positive review  Racaire made and appliqué and embroidered Rose hood for me as a commissioned present. It is stunning, the skill and attention to detail are superb. It is one of the most beautiful things I own. Wool with silk and gold work.

  • positive review  I commissioned a hand carved stamp for my husband's knighting ceremony clothes. Not only is it gorgeous, but I was given SO MUCH information on sources and instructional information on block printing. I now feel relatively confident I can do this. Perfection.

    Bought a tunic and was not disappointed whatsoever. An extremely talented and kind woman who really knows her craft, will be buying again in the future.
