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 never had a reason to do it until now… 😀
Well, as some of you might know, the 14th century is “just” my second favorite time but I am really looking forward to working at this project and well, I admit it, I already started working at it. Btw. this is one of the reasons why I still haven’t posted about the next step of my Craft with Racaire project #1 though I already have the pictures for it… *lol*
…btw. “the cream on top” for you – the customer allowed me to share the pictures of the progress with you – therefore, let us start with some pictures to give you a better “picture” of my new project/commission:
First I made two “test” samples with this technique and thread on two different fabrics – you can see them on the picture underneath:
