Episode 559 of @dressed_podcast: Getting Dressed in Paris 2025! Part II with Rebecca Devaney of @textile_tours_of_paris A highlight of our seven day fashion history tours of Paris is our Samplers of Seduction workshop at the historic silk thread manufacturer @auverasoie_officiel, led by haute couture embroiderer and textile expert Rebecca Devanay. Rebecca spends an hour regaling us with the many fascinating stories behind each and every component of her Samplers of Seduction home embroidery kit. This includes: * A specially designed, Rococo pink and raspberry embroidery box hand-crafted with Arjowiggins paper by luxury box-makers in Paris. * An embroidery pattern screen-printed by hand on gorgeous Graziano Italian linen, with rows for each stitch and perfectly spaced dots indicating where to start your thread, place your stitches and finish with a knot. It really couldn’t be any easier! * A 15cm sturdy embroidery hoop crafted by Elbessee in England * An heirloom 9cm gold-plated embroidery stork scissors manufactured by Locau in Thiers, France. * A little needle book with the sharpest Bohin embroidery needles. Big eyes guaranteed! * An envelope of six Soie d’Algers silk embroidery threads made by Au Ver à Soie in Paris * A Stitch Guide with hand-drawn illustrations and clear, easy instructions so you can learn the basic embroidery stitches, sixteen of them in total (straight, back, stem, blanket, fly, feather, chain, daisy chain, french knots, bullion knots, herringbone, stars, seeding, long and short, satin and diagonal satin stitch).. Kits can be purchased at textiletoursofparis.com #dressed559 #fashionhistory
