Revisited – 12th century nailbinded cap in purple with tassel

2014/05/12

I recently got to know that the purple 12th century nailbinded cap which I made in december 2013 finally arrived safe in the hands of my beautiful sister Bella in the states. Actually it was meant to be a christmas present. But due to all the mundane stress I had during the turn of the year, I unfortunately forgot to send it till spring. …and then – *panic* – it seemed that the cap got lost in the mail…. I was really frightened that the cap might got lost in the mail until I got the releasing message from my sister. Therefore I decided to celebrate the arrival and to revisit my…

More German Brick Stitch embroidery – Needle Roll 2 & 3 finished :D

2014/04/27

You maybe remember my first “Craft with Racaire” project #1. The needle roll tutorial with German Brick Stitch embroidery which I recently posted. I was very pleased with my new German Brick Stitch pattern and the finished embroidery for the first needle roll. Furthermore I also tremendously enjoyed working with the beautiful new silk/wool thread I just got from the yarn shop. Like always, this are more then enough great reasons for me to became playful and creative. This time I decided to play around with my German Brick Stitch pattern #2 and to try out two new pattern ideas I had on my mind. The German Brick Stitch pattern #2 is already a simplified version of my German Brick Stitch pattern #1 and both new…

Embroidered 14th century pouch for tomorrows 9th blog-birthday raffle finished!!! :D

2014/04/04

Wooohoooo! Countdown! Just 1 day left! …and I just finished my embroidered 14th century pouch for the raffle! I just managed to finish the embroidered 14th century pouch! …and there is still one day left until the raffle! *happydance* This “petite” pouch is inspired by an actual 14th century pouch from France. I decided to rework two sections of an extant 14th century French pouch for it. You can see pictures of the other sections in my postings about my current commission which is based on the same extant 14th century French pouch: “14th century French pouch commission” The final result looks so nice that I wish I could keep…

Craft with Racaire – Project #1 – Step 5.2 – finishing – the cords for the fastening/closing :)

2014/02/28

Well, you can do everything you wish with your threads – this here is just a suggestion for a very fast and easy technique how you can make two fast strings for the fastening/closing. Count your threads – you have 2 colors on each side with 2 threads for each color – the most easy and fast braiding needs 3 threads. That means, if you count every color as just one string (if you want to keep the sides balanced and the threads homogeneous instead of braiding with 1-1-2 strings) then you need one pair extra on every side. For this purpose you need to see how long the threads…

Craft with Racaire – Project #1 – Step 4 – medieval finishing technique for the border :)

2014/02/28

Ok, first we started with some embroidery and embroidered a nice “stripe” of fabric using a medieval embroidery technique – “German Brick Stitch” for our very first “Craft with Racaire” project – a small embroidered needle-roll. …and yesterday I showed you in my detailed photo tutorial how to assemble the needle-roll. Today I put together another very detailed photo tutorial for you. In this photo tutorial I will show you a nice medieval (or like some people like to call it: “period”) technique for the seam treatment at the borders.

Sneak peek – more progress pictures of my 14th century inspired gaming pouch

2014/02/24

Are you ready to start your week with some new progress pictures? I definitely am! 😉 About two days ago I thought that it is definitely time for some fun for me and many new progress pictures for you and I started working at my side project again… I admit it, after my in-deepth posting about German Brick Stitch and step 2 for my “Craft with Racaire” project #1, I definitely needed a short break from German Brick Stitch. Therefore I started working again at my 14th century inspired gaming pouch for my 14th century inspired backgammon game. That means that I got really very busy with handsewing, fingerloop braiding and…
