We’ve done a conversion to overdyed silks as well as Gloriana’s Tudor silks for the finer counts. I’m stitching mine on the 52/60 with the Tudor silks. On the branch below this colorful bird are several flowers. The chart shows a red dot symbol that isn’t defined in the thread legend. Designer I decided to choose two different silks for the beautiful lavender-blue Isabelle says the red dots are supposed to be flower petals and what I think of as blueberries ~ they’re both charted French knots with the red (or Colonial knots if you with the same symbol, but it’s very easy to differentiate, and I like the prefer) that are at the center of each flower. subtle difference in the colors for these different design elements.

Page 1 Materials and general instructions You will need: Needles : I would suggest buying a pack of various embroidery needles such as John James (UK) Try out which is right for you. Sharp embroidery scissors. Felt. I use heathered wool felt as I love the texture and colours. ( details of colours used in this sample below ) Stranded Embroidery thread ( details of colours used in this sample below ) I use three strand in most of my patterns, but experiment with what you feel is right. Craft Foam. 2mm white Gingham ribbon ( if making a hanging decoration ) 1 small press stud Transfering the Design to felt Various Options: Wax Dressmakers Carbon Paper ... This comes in various colours so is usful if you want to transfer your design to darker coloured fabrics, use the white carbon sheet. Place the carbon between the fabric and the printed paper design and trace using a hard pencil or empty ballpoint pen. .Transfer pens ... These work really well and the only downside is the time and care taken in tracing the outline accurately. First trace the design on the reverse of the printed sheet using the heat transfer pen. Lay it tracing side down onto your chosen fabric. Iron the design onto the fabric. I would suggest doing an experiment using some scrap first to determine the length of time to hold the iron on the design before it releases onto the fabric.

  • Cross Stitch a Needlebook
    Cross Stitch a Needlebook By Baroness Lynnette de Sandoval del Valle de los Unicornios Tired of not having the correct size needle handy? Can't fit your beading, tapestry, or leatherwork needles in your needle case? Fear not! This cross stitch decorated needlebook carries a large number of any size needles, neatly and compactly! Needles were a valued commodity during the Middle Ages, not something to be used recklessly or easily replaced. The lady of the manor’s belt chatelaine usually contained a needlecase to keep them near at hand and safe. These needlecases were of many materials: metal, wood, bone, horn, etc, and took many forms, decorative as well functional. Needles are less dear today and we’re more interested in carrying a wide assortment of needles then we are about the needles getting lost, so our chatelaine will include a fabric needlebook rather than a needlecase. We’ll be using cross stitch for the book cover decoration. Cross stitch was used in the Middle Ages, but not in the format we use it today. It was almost never used as the ONLY stitch in a project, and seems to have been used mostly as a base stitch or quick filler. Additionally Medieval cross stitch was often of the “long arm” type when one arm or leg of the X was longer than the rest and was part of the next stitch space. Long arm cross stitch covered more closely and lent it self more to the overall patterns of the time than it does to today’s “spot” decoration.

  • The Sylvia Mary Groves Collection of Sewing Tools
    COLLECTING & PRICING INFO Sewing Tools Market & Price Guide Sewing Tools Market & Price Guide Sylvia Mary Groves Collection, Phillips, 2nd December. “Linking women of history with women of today” Sewing implements have changed little over the last three centuries, except that today, they often lack the beauty and workmanship of those produced in the past. Many of those interested in producing fine work today, enjoy these implements which link women of history with women of today. Sylvia Mary Groves began sewing at the end of the nineteenth century and over the next seventy years amassed a great many historic needlework tools. In the 1940s and 50s she wrote many articles about their history for Country Life, illustrated with photographs of her collection taken by her husband, until in 1966, they produced a book History of Needlework Tools and Accessories. This was the first book of its kind, reprinted twice in the next decade, and still considered a ‘must have’ for anyone interested in the subject. A first edition of her book sold at the Phillips Sale for £127 whilst a third edition fetched £94. They headed a successful sale of the collection of needlework tools from the late Sylvia Mary Groves, along with properties from other vendors. The sale included many items illus- trated in the book and items were presented in lots which followed the chapters of her book. Chapter One - Needlecases Needlecases made from a variety of materials including wood, brass, silver or ivory, were used to keep needles tidy in the sewing box. A smaller version was made for pins, known as a pin poppet.

  • PINS, POLITICS, FASHION and SELF-DEFENCE the Pincushion and Its Variants from the 17Th Century to the Early 20Th Century by Robert Bleasdale
    ROBERT BLEASDALE_CHARLES HIND 1 28/08/2012 10:27 Page 26 PINS, POLITICS, FASHION AND SELF-DEFENCE The pincushion and its variants from the 17th century to the early 20th century by Robert Bleasdale oday, there can be few objects in a home as humble Tas a pin; they are stored in plastic containers, cardboard boxes, the padded lids of sewing baskets, or a pincushion of some form. Now the pin is associated with dressmaking and needlework, but its origin from the earliest times to the 17th century was almost exclusively linked to clothing. The word ‘pin’ is derived from the Latin ‘spina’ – thorn – and the tree Paliurus spina-christi bears large thorns which were used as pins in Egypt. Thorns were scraped and dried and then either boiled or fried in oil to harden them to prevent them from snapping. The Egyptians used fish bones to pin closed the eyes of the dead prior to embalming, and like thorns, bones (either worked or in their natural form) made usable pins. Through the Stone, Iron and Bronze Ages pins continued to develop, used for securing clothing or for creating parcels of food wrapped in leaves. As time progressed pins began to develop crudely decorated heads and they became more sophisticated adornments, eventually developing into the Celtic brooch pin. Pins were also fashioned for hair ornaments. Photograph of a French 18th century doll showing how the pincushion (centre bottom) and pockets were worn. The pin in its ‘modern’ form was developed in France where the passion for fashion in the form of veils, wimples, stomachers, lappets, etc demanded vast amounts of pins for import of pins was prohibited by statute.
