Projects #8 and #9
For my project #8 and #9, I am making cotehardies in a royal purple to be worn with the gray set seen in #6 and #7.
I worked a set of parallel white lines in stem stitch along the bottom hem. Along the outside of these lines, a set of burgandy chain stitched lines were worked. Incased in the "border" I worked in stem stitch gold "S"s separted by a burgandy French knot. It is a very simple design, but it really makes the hemline pop. The colors compliment the embroidery on the gray nicely. Unfortunately, the phone takes crappy pictures--it is really purple fabric!
The outfits will be seen, worn on our Glorious Monarchs at Crown Tourney.

Project #7
HRM gray tunic
His cuffs: Ducal Strawberry leaves in worked in a burgandy stem stitch. I used black thread and worked an outline stitch used in blackwork to accent the stems. I also worked a gold running stitch along the hemline.
His hemline: I worked a similar 5 card weave for HRM hem--he got Frowny Faces. Again. I could NOT resist. :)

Project #6--Completed
HRM Nisa's gray underdress.
Her sleeves: Tudor Roses worked in stem stitch in burgandy and black. I did not like the look of the tablet weave on her cuffs, so I worked a running stitch in gold to brighten it up.
Her hem: A narrow, 5 card tablet weave, worked in gold and white. Smiley faces. Couldn't resist.

Project #6
An underdress for HRM Nisa.
Very simple embroidery on the cuffs: a 3 inch Tudor Rose worked in red and black stem stitch with french knots for the center "stems".
It will also have a very narrow tablet woven trim worked in white and gold along the hem on the sleeves and along the bottom hemline.

Project #5
Project #5--red linen tunic for HRH Sean.
The embroidery is very simple and only around the neckline. His device contains "blood drops" so I incorporated that and worked them in gold stem stitch. He also wanted his Ducal Strawberry leaves, so they were worked in black using stem stitch for the main outline and a delicate Holbein stitch was used for the details of the leaves.
The black, gold and white inkle weave was made by Lord Griff and Lady Brigitta.

Nisa's yellow dress--#4
Happiness! Project #4:
HRH Nisa's yellow underdress, done in the same style as Sean's: stem stitch on the gryphons and chain stitch on parts of the gryphon and on the vines. I am still finishing up the hem vines, but you can see that it is looking rather nice. They will stop traffic!
Their over clothes are cotehardies: black linen, short sleeved, buttons neck to hem and are embroidered with gold. The embroidery is of a large gryphon facing inward (same as sleeves) on the bottom portion and Nisa's hem is decorated with Tudor Roses and Butterflies. All that embroidery was worked by Baroness Anna in the stem stitch.
