    Gloria’s OvO pouch with medieval islamic inspired embroidery – my period inspiration :D

    2017/06/05

    My previous posting, “super secret project revealed: OvO pouch with medieval islamic inspired embroidery“, already contained a sneak peek at this very special embroidery project. And today I am going to show you the period inspiration for my medieval islamic inspired embroidery project. 🙂 But let’s talk about the project first. When I took on this project, I was already aware that it wouldn’t be a simple task for me. Being so close to the recipient – Gloria, my beloved mother-in-law – made this embroidery project easier but also much more difficult at the same time.

    Interesting links concerning medieval embroidery….

    2016/11/30

    After receiving a question from a good friend about books concerning 13th century embroidery and having some fun searching for academic papers related to embroidery, it seems like it is time again to share some interesting medieval embroidery related links with you. 🙂 First I would like to share a link which should be well known by now but just in case you are not aware of it yet – here it is again, my most favorite website about medieval embroidery: Historical Needlework Resources (http://medieval.webcon.net.au) This website is actually pretty old compared to many other websites but it is still one of the best ones when it comes to sources and pictures of medieval embroidery.…

  • positive review  I ordered an octopus printed bag on October 27th. By the next day, the bag was finished, packaged up, and shipped to me. It arrived today, October 31st. Included in the package was a hand-written note detailing how to clean the bag as-needed, and a few extra small pieces of stamped fabric. The seller was very responsive to questions, and gave me some great tips as I'm going to start getting into doing fabric painting myself. I would definitely recommend purchasing from Racaire's Workshop.

    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.

    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!
