    14th century French Pouch .1 – sneak peek progress .15 – Endspurt! :)

    2014/03/20

    End-spurt! 😀 …I am very happy to say that I nearly finished the basic embroidery for my 14th century French pouch. Just a rather small section is still not embroidered but I hope to get the information I need to complete it soon. 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

    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*

    2014/03/12

    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…

Anyway, to celebrate the weekend I have some new progress pictures of my 14th century French Pouch commission for you. 😀  …wooohoooo – I just started adding the 4th color according to the wishes of my customer… Do you see it? Though I remember that some people say that white is no color, I count it as color number 4 in this case. *lol*

  • positive review  Racaire makes wonderful things, she even takes on the Herculean task of dressing ME up pretty and makes it look easy. Anyone who has seen me at an event the past three or four years has seen her work. Not only is it beautifully made, it's durable enough to wear for heavy combat! Win-win!

    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!

    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!
