In order to combat the unpleasant odors emanating from open sewers, insufficiently bathed neighbors, and, from time to time, the bodies of plague victims, a variety of perfumed goods such as fans, handkerchiefs, gloves, and “sweet bags” were available for purchase. The tradition of offering embroidered sweet bags containing gifts of small scented objects, herbs, or money began in the mid-sixteenth century. Typically, they are about five inches square with a drawstring closure at the top and two to three covered drops at the bottom. Economical housewives could even create their own perfumed mixtures to put inside. A 1621 recipe “to make sweete bags with little cost” reads: Take the buttons of Roses dryed and watered with Rosewater three or foure times put them Muske powder of cloves Sinamon and a little mace mingle the roses and them together and putt them in little bags of Linnen with Powder. The present object has recently been identified as a rare surviving example of a large-format sweet bag, sometimes referred to as a “sachet.” Lined with blue silk taffeta, the verso of the central canvas section contains two flat slit pockets, opening on the long side, into which sprigs of herbs or sachets filled with perfumed powders could be slipped to scent a wardrobe or chest.

  • Advanced Silk Shading
    ROYAL SCHOOL OF NEEDLEWORK 2019-2020 ACADEMIC YEAR DIPLOMA ADVANCED SILK SHADING Traditionally worked with silk thread on silk or linen fabric, but now more usually worked in stranded cotton thread. Silk is still the most usual background fabric but a variety of other fabrics may be used. For Advanced Silk Shading you may work EITHER an animal, bird, fish or reptile; OR a tapestry shaded human figure. SILK SHADED ANIMAL OR BIRD AIM – To demonstrate an advanced level of technical skill by working a realistic and naturally shaded embroidery of an animal, fish, reptile or bird using Long and Short Stitch with one strand of stranded cotton (or fine silk thread). To utilise shading and stitch direction to accurately depict musculature, fur, scales and clearly defined feathers as appropriate.

  • Silverwork and Sequins
    Session 2: Cornucopia II: Silverwork and sequins In this session you will be learning how to couch metallic threads, both Jap Thread and twist. You will also learn how to stitch sequins in place using a bead. Metallic threads add a touch of sparkle to your embroidery designs. They are made by tightly wrapping a flat metallic strip around a core of cotton or silk thread. This produces a shiny thread which can be bought in a range of sizes. There are particular ways of stitching with metallic threads which you will learn in this session. MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT NEEDED FOR THIS SESSION: • Embroidery hoop or small frame • Embroidery scissors • Needles: o Crewel/embroidery needle size 10/12 o Large-eyed needle such as a chenille or tapestry needle (large enough to take the metallic threads) • The worked embroidery from Session 1: Cornucopia I: Blackwork Infills • Silver Jap Thread • Silver Twist Thread (or DMC silver metallic stranded thread) • Grey sewing cotton • Silver sequins, 3-4 mm, either round or flower-shaped or both: about 5-6 in total • Silver or clear seed beads, one per sequin plus one spare READ ALL OF THE INSTRUCTIONS THROUGH BEFORE YOU START YOUR EMBROIDERY. WORKING THE EMBROIDERY: HORN-OF-PLENTY SECTIONS 1. Place your worked piece from Session 1: Cornucopia I: Blackwork Infills in your hoop or frame (if it isn’t still there!) 2.
