    Craft with Racaire – Project 2 – fast and easy pouch tutorial – Step 2.1 – hand sewing the corners

    2014/04/19

    I know, when it comes to hand sewing, there are some parts that can be rather tricky to sew. Like the pouch corners at the bottom of your pouch. But there is really no need for despair. I have some hand sewing tricks concerning this section for you. Todays motto is: “Hand sewing the corners” 🙂 I will show you how you can master the corners of your pouch rather easily. …and how you can make nice pointy pouch corners for your own pouch, like shown on the picture underneath: And now to the first hint concerning the second step of our second “Craft with Racaire” project: “hand sewing the corners” of our fast…

    Craft with Racaire – Project 2 – fast and easy pouch tutorial – Step 2 – hand sewing the sides

    2014/04/18

    I know, after my recent posting about the “forgotten 14th century queen from France“, you are impatiently waiting for my other finds from my Mission “Medieval Berlin”. Well, I have indeed many beautiful things to share with you. I have new photos of lovely medieval embroidery, “bling bling”, new 14th century museum catalogues and many more other lovely medieval things I found… …but we also have a “Craft with Racaire” project to finish. I admit it, I neglected this project a little but there was so much I wanted to post about instead. Now I am definitely determined to finish this project as soon as possible. Especially because I already have so many new ideas for…

    2014/04/08

    I hope you enjoyed the progress pictures of my short side-project: “embroidered 14th century pouch for the 9th birthday of my blog” and the birthday raffle. …but now it is time to get back to the second “Craft with Racaire” project – the fast and easy pouch tutorial. Some time already passed by since the first two postings for this project therefore here a short summery for you: 1) “…fast and easy pouch tutorial (handsewn) & how to work with “rapports” “ In this first posting of the pouch tutorial you will find useful information about the materials you will need for this project. It also explains how you can calculate…

    Craft with Racaire – Project #2 – Step 1.1 – Hand sewing stitches: Running Stitch & more thoughts about hand sewing

    2014/03/26

    In my opinion it is important to know the basics to be good in something. To know the basics enables creativity and the ability to create lovely things. Even if the focus is on medieval hand embroidery, it doesn’t hurt to look into the basics of hand sewing if you don’t want to spend the rest of your life creating wallhangings… but well, even for that you would need some basic hand sewing techniques if you don’t want a wallhanging with untreated edges… 😉 But let me share a nice little secret with you – the stitches for hand sewing are rather easy and can be found in the same…

    Craft with Racaire – Project #2 – Pouch #1 – fast and easy pouch tutorial (handsewn) & how to work with “rapports”

    2014/03/17

    I know that many of you really have enjoyed my pouch-projects and I guess that some of you miss my “old” fast and easy pouch tutorial. Therefore I started a new project for you and also for my “Craft with Racaire” section: My fast and easy pouch tutorial Before I introduce you the more difficult techniques and we start with the embroidered and fancy pouches, I decided to show you a simple way how to make a hand-sewn pouch for yourself, for a gift, your favorite card game,… or whatever you want to store in it. Btw. this is a tutorial for a hand-sewn pouch which you can easily embroider and…

  • positive review  Racaire makes beautiful and period pieces from A-Z! My little family proudly owns three of her bags, which are extremely durable and gorgeous! My daughter (5 years old) even has her own sized bag! They go to every event with us and often I use mine as my purse in mundane life. Racaire will only make and sell items which will stand the test of time and is extremely detailed in everything she does. I recommend 10/10!

    I received my most recent order today and I just had to come on here to say that getting an order from this shop is second to none - it’s like Christmas every time. Racaire puts a ton of extra care into every order - each item is wrapped like a present, carefully folded, tied with ribbon, and includes care instructions. Getting to unwrap each item is such a joy. Beyond that, the work is spectacular, looks good, and wears well. You can wash and rewash and the prints look as good or better than they did on day one. I would give Racaire 10/10 stars every time.

    I've been following the shop for a while, trying to decide what I would have commissioned. Instead I fell in love with and impulse-bought a gorgeous dragonfly scarf that will be perfect for one of my Ren Faire costumes. It arrived quickly and lovingly packaged, and it's even better than I could imagine! You can tell it was made with love and with soul. I'm already excited about my next purchase and I don't even know what it is yet!
