Like always, this are more then enough great reasons for me to became playful and creative. This time I decided to play around with my German Brick Stitch pattern #2 and to try out two new pattern ideas I had on my mind.

14th century French Pouch .1 – sneak peek progress .22 – the silk for the back side :)

2014/04/25

I tell you, one of the best feelings I know, is the feeling when I just finished another embroidery. 😀 There is still some finishing work left but that doesn’t really count as embroidery for me. Anyway, I really love and always enjoy this “Endspurt” time. *grins* …and writing about finishing work – today I found the perfect silk for the back side of the pouch. …but take a look yourself at the sneak peek photo of the fabric and the embroidery – this color is lovely, isn’t it… 😀

Craft with Racaire – Project 2 – fast and easy pouch tutorial – Step 2.2 – hand sewing – how to start a new thread & hide it…

2014/04/20

Some time ago I learned from some of my friends that several of my hand sewing & embroidery steps are rather new and unknown to others. Even if I consider this techniques very basic and elemental. I always try to keep that in mind while I am working at my projects. This is the main reason why I also try to document my “very basic” steps by taking as many useful photos as possible for you. Recently I took some detail photos of a very basic hand sewing technique I use very often. This detail photos will show you how to start a new thread and how to hide it in a seam. This posting is especially devoted to…

I have some hand sewing tricks concerning this section for you. Todays motto is: “Hand sewing the corners” 🙂 I will show you how you can master the corners of your pouch rather easily. …and how you can make nice pointy pouch corners for your own pouch, like shown on the picture underneath: And now to the first hint concerning the second step of our second “Craft with Racaire” project: “hand sewing the corners” of our fast…
