I took the time and turned the final drawing of the “14th century inspired pattern for my next surface couching embroidery project“ into a new pattern PDF for you! …and I also already uploaded it to my page! 😀

    Sneak peek at my next embroidery project – a 14th century inspired pattern worked in surface couching .1

    2015/06/13

    After my last posting about my recent keyhole neckline progress for my 12th century wedding dress, I sat down and worked at the final drawing of the “14th century inspired pattern for my next surface couching embroidery project“. It took some hours but I just managed to put the 14th century inspired pattern down on paper. And what shall I say, I looks really great and was definitely worth the effort. 🙂

    Sneak peek at my next embroidery project – a 14th century inspired pattern worked in surface couching :D

    2015/05/29

    I should actually be preparing for our weekend at the Glasgow Highland Games but I really cant wait to show you the very first sneak peek at my next project – a 14th century inspired pattern worked in surface couching on red silk! Yes, I know, I am a little bit neglecting the 12th century patterns at the moment but I can’t help it. The moment I saw the picture of the awesome 14th century pattern on which I based my pattern inspiration for this project, I just had the feeling that I had to embroider it… And once I get this feeling, I really have to start a new project!…

    positive review  I have followed Racaire's work for a decade. She is a true artist, and absolute magic with a needle! Her block printed fabrics are gobsmackingly gorgeous, with historically appropriate designs, and her embroidery and textile arts are without peer. Her historical research is spot on which is something this history geek truly appreciates. I recommend her work heartily! (and she's an awfully nice person to boot!)

  • Fantastic communication and phenomenal craftspersonship. The beautiful octopus stamp work and high quality sewing for my pirate bandana was perfect. I recommend Racaire's Workshop, and I am already planning future purchases! May you have fair winds and following seas!

    positive review  Working with Racaire's Workshop has been wonderful. I special ordered an octopus bag and it is beautiful. She created it to my requested specifications.There was a ton of communication throughout the entire process. It was efficient, and easy.

    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!
