Craft with Racaire – Project 2 – fast and easy pouch tutorial – Step 2 – hand sewing the sides

2014/04/18

I know, after my recent posting about the “forgotten 14th century queen from France“, you are impatiently waiting for my other finds from my Mission “Medieval Berlin”. Well, I have indeed many beautiful things to share with you. I have new photos of lovely medieval embroidery, “bling bling”, new 14th century museum catalogues and many more other lovely medieval things I found… …but we also have a “Craft with Racaire” project to finish. I admit it, I neglected this project a little but there was so much I wanted to post about instead. Now I am definitely determined to finish this project as soon as possible.

Craft with Racaire – Project #2 – Step 1.1 – Hand sewing stitches: Running Stitch & more thoughts about hand sewing

2014/03/26

In my opinion it is important to know the basics to be good in something. To know the basics enables creativity and the ability to create lovely things. Even if the focus is on medieval hand embroidery, it doesn’t hurt to look into the basics of hand sewing if you don’t want to spend the rest of your life creating wallhangings… but well, even for that you would need some basic hand sewing techniques if you don’t want a wallhanging with untreated edges… 😉 But let me share a nice little secret with you – the stitches for hand sewing are rather easy and can be found in the same…

Craft with Racaire – Project #1 – Step 5.2 – finishing – the cords for the fastening/closing :)

2014/02/28

Well, you can do everything you wish with your threads – this here is just a suggestion for a very fast and easy technique how you can make two fast strings for the fastening/closing. Count your threads – you have 2 colors on each side with 2 threads for each color – the most easy and fast braiding needs 3 threads. That means, if you count every color as just one string (if you want to keep the sides balanced and the threads homogeneous instead of braiding with 1-1-2 strings) then you need one pair extra on every side. For this purpose you need to see how long the threads…

Craft with Racaire – Project #1 – Step 5.1 – finishing – last work at the padding :)

2014/02/28

You maybe remember that we added some padding and I don’t really like the idea of “free” padding which can move – therefore lets do some finishing to restrict this freedom 😉 Ok, I admit it, this are just some extra stitches to get rid of the last thread I have on the needle and to keep the padding in place. As you can see on the picture above, I just continue with sewing.

Craft with Racaire – Project #1 – Step 3 – basic assembling of the needle-roll

2014/02/27

Welcome to step 3.1 of my first project for “Craft with Racaire” – this time we assemble the needle-roll. In my opinion needle-rolls are a perfect little gift for everyone who uses needles in one way or another. Years ago I got my very first needle roll from my dear friend Gunnhild from Hamburg. It already shows several signs of usage because I took it with me wherever I travelled. To Germany, Finland, England, Sweden and even to the USA. This lovely small needle roll still contains all my sewing and embroidery needles and reminds me of my friend and the events we both went to…
