    14th century French Pouch .1 – sneak peek progress .22 – the silk for the back side :)

    2014/04/25

    I tell you, one of the best feelings I know, is the feeling when I just finished another embroidery. 😀 There is still some finishing work left but that doesn’t really count as embroidery for me. Anyway, I really love and always enjoy this “Endspurt” time. *grins* …and writing about finishing work – today I found the perfect silk for the back side of the pouch. …but take a look yourself at the sneak peek photo of the fabric and the embroidery – this color is lovely, isn’t it… 😀

    14th century French Pouch .1 – sneak peek progress .21 – last embroidery added :)

    2014/04/24

    Woooohooooo! The last embroidery added! The new and also last embroidered section of my 14th century French pouch is finished! What shall I say – I love it! Tomorrow I can get the silk fabric for the back side, wash it and then start with the finishing – pinning, sewing, finger braiding, tassels,… …but until then – please enjoy the new progress pic of my recent embroidery progress! 😀 …and some of my personal thoughts concerning this new embroidery section: As you can see on the picture above, I added an extra embroidered blue section above the basic embroidery design. This section was actually not planned from the beginning. First I wanted to put…

    Update – 9th blog birthday gift – embroidered 14th century pouch…

    2014/04/23

    Btw. do you remember the postings about the small embroidered 14th century pouch? …the small pouch I made for my 9th blog-birthday raffle which was inspired by an extant 14th century French pouch… Well, I am very glad to say that the pouch arrived save in the hands of its new owner – Jennifer in Dallas, Texas. …and she likes it! *happydance* I was so excited that I nearly forgot to tell you. 😀 All my projects are more then just projects therefore I tend to call them my “babies”. Every time I send one of my “babies” per mail on its way, the uncertainty if the package arrives or not is the most painful…

    Posting about medieval embroidery for already 9 years ! Happy 9th birthday to me! :D

    2014/04/05

    Happy birthday to me & my blog “Racaire’s Embroidery & Needlework”! 9 years filled with medieval embroidery! 😀 *gosch* …can you imagine it? I am already posting for 9 years about my embroidery and sewing projects. I think it is amazing – 9 long years filled with many medieval embroidery projects and medieval embroidery techniques like Klosterstich (cloister stitch), Refilsaum (Bayeux Stitch), German Brick Stitch, Surface Couching, Russian Pearl embroidery,… just to name a few. Btw. you can see a small part of my surface couching embroidery for my 12th century bliaut slit neckline on the right side. On the picture underneath you can see the final result of the first “Craft with…

    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…

Customer Reviews

  • 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 purchased a printed scarf, and Racaire was able to help me with international shipping (via messenger). The item arrived quickly, exactly as promised, and beautifully wrapped. And as a bonus, Racaire is a lovely person. I recommend Racaire and hope to make future purchases soon!

    An all around wonderful experience! I ordered a custom printed scarf with specific colors, material and design and she knocked it out of the park. Great communication, customer service and delivered it on time as estimated. I Will be buying more from Racaire’s Workshop!

    Ive bought two items from her workshop(hood and custom bag). Both were beautiful and high quality. I received so many compliments during Gulf Wars about my hood. The quality of her work is almost unmatched and is super easy to work with. I came with a jumbled idea for my bag and she worked wonders. Will definitely be buying again!
