Craft with Racaire – Project 2 – fast and easy pouch tutorial – Step 4.1 – Pouch drawstring & how to attach a tassel to the drawstring :D

2014/07/09

I am very excited! After all the detailed photo tutorials for this project, we finally reached the very last step of the fast and easy pouch tutorial. …and yes, also this posting is again about tassels. They are (and will always be) one of my favorite medieval embellishments – especially when it comes to embroidered pouches. 😀 How I made the tassels for the bottom of the pouch was already the topic of the last posting. In the following photo tutorial you can read about the handling of the drawstrings for this pouch. In addition you will also see how I attached the tassel securely to the drawstring. Todays motto is: “Pouch drawstring & how…

Well, what shall I say, this kind of message is always a great balm for the soul of an artisan. 🙂

Tassels, tassels, tassels! Yes, I know, that looks like I really like tassels. But well, no, that’s not true. I don’t like them – I love them! 😉 Finally, after finishing the last hand sewing stitches for the fast and easy pouch, we reached the endspurt phase of this tutorial! Today we can at long last start with what I consider the fun part – with the embellishments! Thinking of my projects of the last years, it really seems like I am suffering from a natural weakness when it comes to fancy adornments.

2014/06/24

Today I have a very special treat for you: My 14th century hood with daggings, long liripipe & chain stitch embroidery – revisited. 😀 As you might remember – I just posted about the “Chain Stitch” and its use for decorative hand sewing for my “fast & easy pouch tutorial“: “Chain Stitch – posting I“ & “Chain Stitch – posting II” While I was working at this two “hand sewing” related postings, I already had the feeling that a posting about embroidery next would be a good idea. And what would be more appropriate than a posting about a nice medieval project with Chain Stitch embroidery next? *lol* Yes, this posting quasi suggested itself… 😀 Created in 2009, this hand sewn & hand embroidered…
