Wooohoooo! Countdown! -9 days! Still 8 days + 1 evening left to finish the embroidery for the embroidered 14th century pouch for the 9th blog-birthday and the raffle for my blog members! 😀 And again a new progress pic for you – enjoy! 😀
Wooohoooo! Countdown! -9 days! Well, I am glad that I have still 8 days + 1 evening to finish the embroidery for the embroidered 14th century pouch for the 9th blog-birthday! I still think that I will finish the pouch in time but it would surely help if you cross your fingers for me… 🙂 As you already might have noticed, I posted yesterday about the most basic medieval hand sewing technique “Running Stitch” and all the possibilities to use it for hand sewing, pattern fitting and also its use concerning medieval hand embroidery techniques. Therefore you get to see two progress pictures of my embroidery progress today. Enjoy! 😀
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…
Wooohoooo! Countdown! -11 days! Just 11 days left till the 9th blog birthday and my very first raffle for my blog-members! …or, well, lets put it another way: I have still 10 days + 1 evening to finish the embroidery for the embroidered 14th century pouch for the 9th blog-birthday! *grin* However, if you compare the picture underneath to yesterdays progress, I am on a good way to finish the pouch in time. See for yourself: Cute, isn’t it… too bad I can’t keep if for myself when it is finished… 😉
Wow!!! The 9th birthday of my blog is coming up soon! I am so excited! …and I I already started working at an embroidered 14th century pouch for the very first “birthday raffle”… *happydance* I thought I have still more than a month till the 9th birthday of my blog. Then I checked the date and realized that I have less then 3 weeks left… omg… *panic-mode-on*… 😉 Why I panic? Because I wanted to make the next birthday – the 9th birthday of my blog – a very special one by celebrating it with a gift and a raffle for my blog members. Well, I have to admit that…
…and the first outlines for my 14th century French pouch – enjoy! 😀 Though I don’t know yet with which color(s) my customer would like to see the hood filled and the figures outlined, I took the freedom to already start with some of the “not-so-important” outlines. In my opinion this “not-so-important” section is the small yellow section between the red and green sections and looks like a very slim cross. For this section in the middle I decided to use my white wool-silk thread for the outlines. The white thread nicely accentuates the section but does not distract from the embroidery as you can see on the following picture. I decided to…
End-spurt! 😀 …I am very happy to say that I nearly finished the basic embroidery for my 14th century French pouch. Just a rather small section is still not embroidered but I hope to get the information I need to complete it soon. Nevertheless, I enjoy this moment very much and would like to celebrate it with you by sharing some progress pictures – enjoy! 😀 As you can see, the embroidery for the hood for the upper right section is still missing. Concerning this section and also concerning the outlines for the figures I am waiting for the decision of my customer concerning his preferred colors. Btw. this…
End-spurt! Well, it is not finished yet but I am very happy to say that I am rather close to finish the embroidery for my 14th century French pouch. …and I have another sneak peek photo of the embroidery for you – enjoy! 😀
…another day and another progress picture of my 14th century French pouch for you – enjoy! Btw. I finally reached the point to declare that it is “End-spurt” time again… *happyadance* …you know, what that means, I am getting close to finish this embroidery… 😀
I know that many of you really have enjoyed my pouch-projects and I guess that some of you miss my “old” fast and easy pouch tutorial. Therefore I started a new project for you and also for my “Craft with Racaire” section: My fast and easy pouch tutorial Before I introduce you the more difficult techniques and we start with the embroidered and fancy pouches, I decided to show you a simple way how to make a hand-sewn pouch for yourself, for a gift, your favorite card game,… or whatever you want to store in it. Btw. this is a tutorial for a hand-sewn pouch which you can easily embroider and…
