More about the rose embroidery for my friends hood .2 – starting the surface couching

2016/10/03

Wow! What a week! During the last days I was struggling with fighting off a head cold as well as finally facing my driving test. As easy as embroidery and some other things might come to me, I really struggle a lot when it comes to taking any kind of tests. And the driving test, which took place yesterday, was definitely no difference. I was a complete wreck before, during and after the test and not even my dear husband was able to calm me down…

My new grey/black 12th century dress is finally finished! :D

2016/09/22

And surprise, surprise – I just managed to finish another 12th century dress! 🙂 Well, I admit it, I didn’t post much about my new 12th century dress project till now – only one short posting and that was all. But well, it was also just one of my “small” side projects which I took up or abandoned whenever I felt like it. “Just” some hand sewing in order to relax and to keep my hands busy… I think it’s quite important to have small side projects like this. Projects which have no time frame or real importance and might not even work out. But projects like these can help to take one’s mind off…

2016/08/30

And finally a posting about what might interest you the most: A step-by-step tutorial of how I created the rose embroidery for my friends 14th century hood. Though the rose embroidery for my friends 14th century hood might appear quite simple at first sight, it is definitely much more complex than it looks like. Well, there is quite some work involved to make it appear so simple, proper and effortless.

14th century hood for a friend – 4th rose finished & already working at the 5th rose! :)

2016/08/21

Woohooo! I just managed to finish another embroidered rose for my friends 14th century hood project. It took nearly a week and many tiny stitches but I made some really good progress during the last days. Ok, I admit it, I made most progress during my usual embroidery time at night. But well, I am – and always was – a night owl when it comes to working on my projects… *giggle* However, I guess that no one is more surprised about this great progress in such a rather short time than I am. Why? Well, my husband brought some organic pears home which a very nice coworker gave him. And I spent about two whole nights with…

14th century hood for a friend – 3rd rose finished & already working at the 4th rose! :)

2016/08/12

I know, it’s about time for another update concerning the 14th century hood project with rose embroidery for my friend Elisenda. Well, what a great coincidence as I just managed to finish the third rose for her hood! …and not only that, I already started working on the fourth rose! 😀 Despite the small set-back due to the work on my arming coat and a knighting scroll for a friend, I never ceased to dedicate every spare minute to the embroidery for my friends 14th century hood project.

SCA Heavy Fighting – show your legs! …or a look at my padded leg armor :D

2016/08/08

Now that the padded arming coat is finally finished, I also get to show you the padded leg armor which I made some time ago. 🙂 Well, having a nice arming coat is just half the rent if you want to participate in SCA Heavy Fighting. As many of the shots go to the legs, it is a good idea to also put some thought and work into well fitting leg armor. And if you bruise as easily as I do, you indeed want some nicely padded leg armor. I already started working at this padded leg armor in March. It was kinda a last minute project as I wanted to bring at least one piece of armor…

SCA Heavy Fighting – my new embroidered arming coat / gambeson is finished! :)

2016/08/02

Wooohooo! My new, embroidered arming coat is finally finished! …and yeah, I have photos to prove it! But first things first! The last week was really intense. All week long I was working like crazy at a special knighting “scroll” due to a very short deadline. I even worked my nights through to make sure that I am able to finish the “scroll” in time. Though my sweetheart might have missed snuggling with me at night, he was very understanding and supportive – thank you hon! I love you! 😀 And finally all the hard work and back pain paid off as I just finished the last details! And damn, it looks pretty amazing…

SCA Heavy Fighting – some embroidery for my arming coat / gambeson :)

2016/07/24

After adding all the eyelets and buttonholes, I took a look at my finished arming coat. Well, what shall I say – it looked nice but also very plain and boring! And I definitely don’t like to look plain or boring in my new arming coat! Therefore I decided to extend my work at the arming coat project by adding some nice embellishment. And the easiest way for me to add some “bling” is to add some embroidery! Well, why not, some embroidery will definitely not hurt my arming coat… 😉

SCA Heavy Fighting – working at my arming coat / gambeson :)

2016/07/22

And before someone else drops the question again about the progress of my armor for SCA heavy fighting and why I am still not in armor… Guys, it’s not finished yet! …I am still working at my arming coat! Really! I swear! *lol* Well, I hate to admit it but this is not my first arming coat project. Though I’ve never finished my very first attempt of an arming coat, I am quite positive that this new project will be quite different. And I am working hard to make it a success so I can finally mark the arming coat project off my list. Yeah, it’s true, I started an arming coat project already many years ago. But despite all…

First sneak peek at a new embroidery project – a 14th century hood for a friend or roses, roses, roses,… :)

2016/07/13

And todays posting is all about roses! …or to be more specific: embroidered roses! Well, you know me, I love me some good rose embroidery from time to time… 😉 After all my sewing related postings concerning my husbands new tunic, the time has finally come to show you some of my hand embroidery again! And as it happens, I just quite recently started a new embroidery project. Not only that, I already worked several hours on this project and therefore already have a nice sneak peek for you of: …a 14th century hood with roses (and maybe one or two pelicans) for my dear friend Elisenda de Luna! 😀
