    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…

    14th century French Pouch .1 – which color for the hood? …an easy way to match colors

    2014/03/15

    Well, today I have a very special topic for you concerning my 14th century French pouch: “Which color for the hood?”. Furthermore this is also a very good reason for another posting about very “basic techniques”. In particular I want to show you “an easy way to match colors” today. 🙂 But first things first – as you can imagine, I have many possible colors which I could use for the “hood” in the 2nd section of my 14th century French pouch. Well, it’s great to have so many colors to chose from but that’s also the point where the “grande miseria” begins. Now I have to decide which color out of…

    I admit it, I was very busy during the last days. Not only with “mundane stuff” concerning my visa for the states – which btw. got approved this week *happydance* – but also with working at my 14th century French pouch. I am very happy to tell that I completed another section – section 3! …and furthermore I have a sneak peek at the 4th section for you at which I already started working – enjoy! 😀 I really like the unicorn – it’s so cute, isn’t it. *lol*

    Great news! I am already working at the first tutorial for the second “Craft with Racaire” project – my fast and easy gaming-pouch for my 14th century inspired Backgammon game box or how I started to call it: “the most simple handsewn-pouch I can imagine”. I promise you – just some days and you get to see some new pictures of it including a tutorial how you can make your own. Well, concerning my own gaming-pouch on which my tutorial is based – I am happy to say that I already finished it. Needless to say, but I say it nevertheless – I love it! 😉 Because the tutorial is not…

    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.

    I’ve admired Racaire’s work for months and recently had a chance to purchase one of her scarves. So delighted with my purchase! The phoenix print on the scarf is so crisp and such a lovely, unique design. The fabric is soft and just the right color to complement the design. Shipping was swift, communication was excellent, and I just really enjoy wearing something that has so much creativity poured into it. I look forward to shopping from Racaire’s Workshop again!

  • 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.
