14th century French Pouch .1 – first embroidery
Recently I was speaking about a pouch project with a customer who wanted to complete his 14th century kit with an embroidered pouch made by me. Well, while I was showing him pictures concerning period solutions for the pouch lacing he just fell in love with an extant 14th century French pouch I showed him… *lol* That was the end of the German Brick Stitch pouch project he had on mind before and the start for something new – my new 14th century French pouch commission – and best of all, I have to use a technique I have known for years now and already thought about to try but…

Sneak peek – more progress pictures of my 14th century inspired gaming pouch
Are you ready to start your week with some new progress pictures? I definitely am! 😉 About two days ago I thought that it is definitely time for some fun for me and many new progress pictures for you and I started working at my side project again… I admit it, after my in-deepth posting about German Brick Stitch and step 2 for my “Craft with Racaire” project #1, I definitely needed a short break from German Brick Stitch. Therefore I started working again at my 14th century inspired gaming pouch for my 14th century inspired backgammon game. That means that I got really very busy with handsewing, fingerloop braiding and…

Craft with Racaire – Needle-roll #1
Before I “restarted” my new blog, I told a friend of mine that I have many possible projects I could start with for my new section “Craft with Racaire”. I told her that I could start with a German Brick Stitch needle-roll, a Klosterstich needle-book, a 12th century fillet, a Reliquary box with bead embroidery based on a rather rare 13th century Pearl Ciborium or based on a period extant piece, another pull-over dress/underdress with revisiting my last recent pattern, a tight fitted bliaut, a linen veil with a period bird pattern, the “We have Dragons” project, a pouch, a hood with daggings,… – just to name a few possibilities.…

Sneak peek – hand sewing a pouch for my 14th century inspired Backgammon Game
I “found” some awesome fabric in my stash and just started hand sewing a pouch for my 14th century inspired Backgammon game. I really couldn’t help it, I really had to do it – it was just too tempting. *lol* 😉 Well this small side project here is quasi a treat for myself for all the German Brick Stitch chart work I have recently done for my first project. I really needed a brake from it. Another “good” reason is that I still need a nice pouch to protect my hand-painted 14th century inspired Backgammon board which I finished last year. Btw. I put together some pictures of it to…

Medieval Embroidery – German Brick Stitch – helpful sources & embroidery for needle-roll #1
As you already might have noticed, I really love medieval embroidery. …and I decided that after all this postings it is finally time for some embroidery done by me. German Brick Stitch seemed like a good technique to start with. Especially because this stitch looks very pretty on needle-rolls & pouches. As I already wrote in my posting “Embroidered patches for Racaires 12th century wedding dress project” I want to put together a small gift package. (look out for the PPS at the bottom of the posting about my wedding dress project) For this “thank you gift package” I will embroider at least one gift. I consider needle-rolls and needle-books to…
