The Bayeux Peacock

The Bayeux Tapestry inspired embroidery kit came about because people have been asking if I make kits. Well, now I do. Join me as I talk through the kit, it's authentic materials and needle, and how designing the kits actually helps my research.

I have made a brooch of this little bird, one of my favourite bits of the embroidery

[@EarlyMedievalEmbroidery]

That's fantastic! Did you use linen and wools or did you work it in something different because of the size?

[@anaesturoelejaldeperso]

I just think is so wonderful you got into designing. I will check although I've never made embroidery yes. Only cross stitching.

Thank you! This embroidery is good for beginners and if you did get stuck, I'm always here to help out 😊

My first time here. I embroidered a bird in Bayeux stitch. I love it and am looking forward to your videos.

Hi Liz, welcome to Early Medieval Embroidery! It's lovely to hear about your Bayeux stitched bird and I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. Next week I'm going to start work on a new video series which will focus on the Bayeux Tapestry, so watch this space

I subscribed thanks to Roxanne Richardson. If i was younger and richer i would start something with Crewel Work, Bayeux Tapistry. I love your work AND presentation. Wil from Amsterdam.

Thank you! That's so nice to hear. Personally I don't think it matters what age you start embroidery but warning, once you start that's it, there's no turning back :)
