And finally, after all the progress pictures of my 14th century French pouch project, I can present the finished pouch to you today! 😀 Yes, it took a while but as a German saying says, all good things in life take time. And well, medieval hand embroidery is really not a fast craft. *giggle*

Maybe some of you remember my 14th century French pouch commission. And I have great news concerning this project – I managed to finish the pouch and it was delivered in time to surprise a beautiful lady on Valentines day. And during the recent down time of my blog I found some time to sit down and go through the pictures on my tablet…

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

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…

14th century French Pouch .1 – sneak peek progress .16 – Endspurt! :)
…and the first outlines for my 14th century French pouch – enjoy! 😀 Though I don’t know yet with which color(s) my customer would like to see the hood filled and the figures outlined, I took the freedom to already start with some of the “not-so-important” outlines. In my opinion this “not-so-important” section is the small yellow section between the red and green sections and looks like a very slim cross. For this section in the middle I decided to use my white wool-silk thread for the outlines. The white thread nicely accentuates the section but does not distract from the embroidery as you can see on the following picture. I decided to…

14th century French Pouch .1 – sneak peek progress .15 – Endspurt! :)
End-spurt! 😀 …I am very happy to say that I nearly finished the basic embroidery for my 14th century French pouch.

Nevertheless, I enjoy this moment very much and would like to celebrate it with you by sharing some progress pictures – enjoy! 😀 As you can see, the embroidery for the hood for the upper right section is still missing. Concerning this section and also concerning the outlines for the figures I am waiting for the decision of my customer concerning his preferred colors. Btw. this…

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