RSN Exclusive Tudor Sweete Bag Embroidery Kit
Description
Inspired by a Holbein portrait of Jane Seymour and a gentleman's blackwork cap in the Victoria and Albert Museum, this kit will teach you how to embroider and make up your own Tudor Sweete Bag. Learn how to work a double-sided Holbein Stitch border as well as a typical Elizabethan design of plants and flowers contained within rings or 'rinceaux' in a combination of black and gold threads and spangles. Finally make your embroidery up into a sweete bag using a French seam and a hem stitched edge.
Designed by RSN Tutor and Fellow Sarah Smith.
