There's an awful lot of embroidery on my velvet coat, and although I know a little about embroidery - enough to get myself into trouble - I'm no expert.
Enter Gemma Murray, the Studio Manager at the Royal School of Needlework in London, who is here this month to tell us all about
- how the velvet coat might have been embroidered,
- how to go about a project like this today,
- what tools and materials we need
- what stitches and techniques I'll need to use.
We also open up a can of worms about how the colours of the decorative stitching and embroidered flowers on this gorgeous coat might have looked quite different in 1895 or so, when it was new! I'd love to hear what you think in the comments.
Many thanks to everyone at the RSN. I'm very fortunate to have had this opportunity to work with them (although it's not a paid promotion, it's just for fun), and I'm very grateful for their generosity with their time and expertise.
This is a special video and I'm really excited to share it with you.
Love, Cathy x

Cathy, that was wonderful!

Cathy, your courage knows no ends! I would be TERRIFIED to attempt to recreate that exquisite embroidery on silk velvet no less!!! I watch you to help me overcome my lack of courage to tackle projects not remotely as special or great of an investment.

[@gnarbeljo8980]

The online stich bank, what a wonderful and important initiative! ❤️ I'm thinking the embroidery was in vibrant colors. Especially if it's silk! Interesting story: the 18th century royal residence and castle of Drottningholm outside Stockholm underwent great restorations. The Queen mother of the regent (or it mat have been his danish wife the queen) had expensive Chinese silk covered walls in her bedroom, and the pattern was carefully photographed in full and commision made for a tidy fortune as the silk was badly deteriorating (as silk invetiably will over time). Only after all this did the conservationists take the fabric down from the wall (so odd but 100%true!). Of course this very light blue silk was stretched like a canvas on to wood slats, and it turned out the silk left unexposed to UV rays was absolutely brilliantly China red all over! Imagine that, not only did it put the entire room and the rest of the colors into question and require a whole different investigation of paint pigments on panels and furniture, other silks in the room etc, AND cost an absolute fortune to recommision in the correct color, but it gave an entirely different take on her personal choices, preferences, and the whole notion of "Scandi-color schemes" from back in the day, something that's been debated alot as certain pigments from the era are alot less color fast/light fast than others. In this country we are so used to seeing pale oyster grays, light ochre and pale blues in these historic environments, we've often mistakenly vome to believe that's what this most famous period looked like in refined interiors and only the country commoners where all in with busy patterns, stencils and colors in earth pigments and local oxides in typically much darker wood farm houses. But they used cotton fabrics, stenciled with paints on walls, had less fickle and expensive pigments (earth tones don't fade so much) and less sunlight indoors. Of course the brighter and clearer the colors, the more opulently regal and exclusive, especiallt in those days when fabric and colors were also officially regulated by law to only be worn in garments by people of specific titles (and death penalty was actually real for those who didn't abide by them!) I've seen silk garments in my Grandmother's possession she's described as quite a different color originally. Old pieces of her mum's. I wonder if those stems and leaves were emerald green and the hydrangeas a deep pink or varying pinks, purples and greens as the autumnal hydrangeas most beautiful one sees in the market this time of year? Those petals may have been carefully and artfully dyed to look very realistically like these varigated autumnal cut flowers (my favorite version of these blooms, although I do love the Italian blue in big garden pots as well). It would have been spectacular! I'd skip the beige if I were you. Seems out of place for that much work. They'd have gone for gold in that case. Either way, h u g e job to embroider yourself. Wonderful video! Thank you! 👌❤️😍

[@m.maclellan7147]

This was a fascinating comment, thank you for posting it ! One other comment you made struck me, yes, they ARE hydrangeas! I knew they looked familiar, however, over the last 50 years they have been so intensely cultivated that they are now big "globe" type flowerets, versus the much less showy version on the dress. This "historical" version of the plant is much more elegant !

[@gnarbeljo8980]

@@susanbooboo1724 Indeed! Today we have all the means thinkable to create color and replicate the intensity found in nature, with cheap synthetic colorants, dyes, paints and optical digital means, but historically colors were generally earthy, clear vibrant ones terribly exclusive and made from expensivelt collected or mined substances, expensive chemical reactions etc and as photgraphy didn't exist as today, the idea of capturing the brilliance of colors seen irl and preplicating them was a thrilling goal. Now thay we are so spoilt with colors even beyond the natural spectrum including florescence only then experienced through precious minerals and algea in the sea, we tend to think of minemalist paired down palettes and sepia tone filters as a sign of elegance and exclusivity. It's ironic isn't it? But that's really only western culture. Africa and India and South America are a feast of color to behold. I'd do anything to be able to see Pompeii in all it's glory back in the day! Yes, what future civilizations will say of us is likely very far from what we might imagine... I love color, color is literally energy, and generates life, i think I'd die if I was deprived of experiencing it...

I'm an enthusiastic embroiderer, but this was mind-blowing. Thank you for shedding light on such a wonderful organization!

[@RoyalNeedlework]

Thank you Nicholas!

[@leetzannaroyalla9068]

When you find the velvet , remember to get extra so you can practice the stitches and if you decide to go with color you will be able to see it before you do it. My grand mother went to a special sewing school where she learned all the embroidery stitches and she taught my mother who taught me. Practice is essential and fun. The practice pieces are not too big so its fairly quick. I wish you the true joy of painting with thread.

[@bbhybris]

SO excited. I love this coat and the other coat videos are what got me watching all of Cathy's videos! Thank you Cathy ❤️

[@CathyHay]

Thank you so much!

[@indrabar]

That wall of wool was absolutely divine, I am jealous of their collection! I actually just built a very crude slate frame myself for a coat I will be starting soon - it's nowhere near as tidy as theirs! It's very large though - about 48 inches along the long side. I wanted to be able to fit the whole width of the fabric selvage to selvage so I could work the coat flat before cutting out the pieces. It is exciting to think we are both about to embark on large full embroidered coat projects, together, in a sense.

[@CathyHay]

It is! I'm going to need a frame as big as yours. My Dad made me one a long time ago but it's not adjustable. I'll have to see if I can adapt it.

[@rosemarycousins5501]

Cathy Hay instead of using wood for the horizontal bars you could use drain pipes, they are much lighter to handle and cheaper to source in the lengths you will need.

[@CassiBlack]

Never have I wished so hard for a trip across the pond! I’d take every class they offer if I could! Embroidery is definitely one of my clothing weaknesses!!! 🤩🤩

Sarah Homfrey Embroidery is a fantastic You Tube channel where she teaches. She’s a graduate of the Royal School and has a shop for all the stuff. (In Britain, don’t know how shipping to the US is) It’s like going back to art school, she’s a really good instructor - some people can teach and she has the gift. I never did do much work, but shocked myself and a friend explaining how an Indian metal work evening bag was made. 🤣 They get a very thorough education at that school, I’m really impressed with what Ms Homfrey covers.

[@fuchsfarben]

Concerning the fading colours: From photos and looking at them on different screens it seams the petals have varied from pink to purple to blue colours, much like hydrangeas. The leaves of course were green and there seems the possibility of both leaves and stems to have slight gradients. I'm convinced this coat was way more colorful back in the day :)

[@lynette.]

Getting a bespoke frame made is the best advice when working large expanse of velvet. I will enjoy seeing you stitch find and sew.

[@nettie607]

Years ago I spent a week staying at Hampton Court. I remember peering thru the windows at the wonderful work they were doing. I love to do embroidery, either stand-alone pieces or onto my clothes. I know that once you get the hang of the stitches, you will be great. Thank you for the look inside the school!

I'm lucky my husband is a crafter and understands the phenomenon of books and supplies following us home.💖🤣💖

[@employme2]

The maticulous details of needlework embroidery is stunning compared to my now machine embroidery. I started out embroiderying with a hoop, at my grandmother's knee & moved onto machine embroidery; as my hands were not as nimble as they were in younger years. What a thrill to see the needle come back to life. Thank you for your video visit. Best wishes on your newest velvet project... burn marks can crush & ruin velvet easily.

[@CathyHay]

It's fantastic isn't it!! I loved the Stitch Bank. And the best part, which didn't come through in the video so well, is that they keep discovering "lost" stitches on historical pieces, and including them so that they can be used again. Isn't that cool!

@@CathyHay in the stitch bank, which Gemma mentions has stitches from "across the world", do they list the different names of stitches ?
