Over the next year, we will be recreating a 17th-century embroidered jacket. The Embroiderers' Story will chronicle its progress.

Robbin’s Turn

Robbin gets started, Carolyn keeps her company.On Saturday Robbin made lace. Carolyn lent moral support. Melanie Anne continued to clean up “littleRobbin beginning her first motif. bits” of embroidery. Small motifs, or half-finished ones, and some of the little black stitches on the ends of the rose hips.

She took a break to worship the pile o’ spangles and hear all about how they were made.

Here are some pictures.Three motifs down!

    I love the little hair clips on the bobbins!

  2. Carolyn Says:

    The little hair clips are an unbelievable life-saver!! They take a little getting used to, but are so much better than fighting a hitch on metal threads — and they save the threads from being abraided, too.

    The worst thing about them is that they are somewhat stiff to open, and tend to fly across the room sometimes. ;-)
