And a Silk Purse PATRICK’S WOODS LESSONS in embroidery and fine hand sewing LucetPassementerie And a Silk Purse Welcome a new guest for your workbox – the lucet! The lucet is a lyre-shaped tool used in the 17 th and 18 th centuries to create custom trim. Learn the graceful art of creating square cords and flat braids that can be used for finishing or embellishing fine needlework. The trims are very versatile and unique alternatives to other common trims. This class is designed both for those who have never worked with a lucet and for those who would enjoy a new class on working with a lucet. The lucets made exclusively for this class are reproductions of an 18 th century style lucet, finely handcrafted of wood; and a delight to work with. You will learn the basics of square cord and flat braid using pearl cottons, then elevate your skills to creating the very finest silk passementerie using soie perlees. For those who like to experiment further with the lucet, the kit includes detailed instructions for creating beaded trim and variations on 2-color trim. There will be a brief demonstration on the additional techniques as time allows. Once you have mastered the lucet, you can create a unique linen and silk purse to store your lucet collection and works-in-progress. The purse is embellished with silk flat braid and square cord, and is embroidered in tent stitch, worked in light teal and vintage browns. Class size: 10 minimum / 20 maximum Skill level: Intermediate. Student supplies: ruler and basic sewing supplies. Class time: 5 hours Kit cost: $115; includes wood lucet, linen, silk floss, soie perlee, pearl cotton, silk lining, tapestry needle, sharp needle, interfacing DESIGNS BY SHERRI JONES 2539 ALBERT DRIVE, SE G RAND RAPIDS, MI 49506 616-285-3238 [email protected] .

  • Lucet Braiding
    Lucet Braiding A lucet is a simple 2 pronged device used during the Middle Ages (and earlier and later) for making cords. It is most often associated with the Viking Era but were used through out Europe. It makes a strong either square or flat cord. Lucets were made of horn, bone or wood. The cords, also called chains, were used as drawstrings in clothing and bags or purses. They were also used ornamentally as trim on clothing and other items and to hang items from belts. Larger versions of these cords were probably also used by sailors. Making Your Own Lucet A lucet can be made from any 2 pronged item. My first lucet was a plastic 2 pronged fork. My second lucet was a large wooden fork with the center prongs removed. The lyre shape can be cut out of 1/4 inch wood such as pine or oak and then the edges sanded. Basic Square Cord Crochet thread or thin yarn is good for beginners to start with. 1. Drop a 6 inch tail of the thread through the hole going from front to back. If your lucet doesn't have a hole, it is not a problem, just pull the tail around to the back of the lucet. 2. Holding the lucet in your left hand with the thumb holding the tail in place above the hole, wind the thread as shown: front to back on the right arm, then front to back on the left arm and then front to back on the right arm again, making a "figure 8." The thread should now be on teh back side where you can hold it between two fingers to keep it snug around the arms.

  • Medieval Sewing and Braiding
    Sewing and braiding Sewing and braiding Coil headed pins Coil headed pins — pins were very important in medieval times, and were made from bone, fish bones, wood, thorns, ivory, shell and metal. Pins were used to hold fabric together to be sewn, and to hold other clothes together, and fine bronze or copper alloy pins they were used to pin together ladies headwear — wimples consisted of bands of cloth pinned together around the top half of the head and also from chin to the top of the head, and veils pinned to the bands. Pins were made by drawing brass or copper alloy wire (through a die) to the required length, sharpening one end, and coiling softer, finer, wire around the other end to form a ‘head’. This process requires 14–16 different steps, all done by hand. Pins were valuable luxuries in medieval times. In the C14th, the English parliament passed an act allowing the pin-maker to sell his pins in “open shop” only on the 1st and 2d of January of each year. This was intended to prevent the sale of these “luxuries”, as they were then regarded, to too great an extent. It was on these two days of the year that the court ladies and city women of high and low degree flocked to buy them, having first been provided with money by their husbands called “pin money.” When pins became cheap and common, the ladies spent their allowances on other fancies, but the term “pin money” still remains in the English language. How do we know about coil headed pins? Illustrations and descriptions in medieval manuscripts, and finds made during archaeological digs.

  • Congratulations to Us! Congratulations To
    Newsletter of the Mecklenburg Historical Association Docents Promoting Local History through Education and Research http://www.meckdec.org/ May, June, July, August, 2015 Volume 21, Number 3 Look Inside This Issue - The MHA Docents receive another major award - Plans for the Meck Dec day celebration - A Severe Drought in 1826 - A South Carolina Road Trip – save the date - In Memoriam, Karen McConnell, William S. Powell - Upcoming MHA and MHA Docent Meetings - History Community News and the History Calendar Congratulations to Us! MHA Docents Received Special Recognition from NCMC On March 30 at the annual meeting of the North Carolina Museums Council the MHA Docents were one of two volunteer groups to receive an award of special recognition for service given to local museums and sites. This was not the first time we have been so recognized. In 1992 the docents received an award from the American Association for State and Local History, and in 1998 received an NCMC Service Award for outstanding contributions to historic sites. By the way – it took some digging to recollect our previous accolades. We are apparently much more attentive to our region’s history than we are to our own. Barbara Taylor, director of the Matthews Heritage Museum, nominated us for the award; she along with docent co-chairs Audrey Mellichamp and Janet Dyer attended the Council’s Awards Luncheon in Durham where they received our plaque of commendation. Below are excerpts from Barbara Taylor’s nomination submission. Ann Williams In 1976 the Charlotte Museum of History opened to the public and a core group of docents was trained to conduct tours.
