Inspiration for scrap of Harris Tweed

3 replies

babiesinslingsgetcoveredinfood · 07/03/2013 18:47

I have a small (10 x15cm) scrap of gorgeous deep pink Harris Tweed. I want to make my mum a birthday present with it. I'm in a quandary about what to make.

I normally default to corsages, but I made her a felt brooch for Christmas, so I can't really do that. I have lots of other fabric I could use too, but definitely want to incorporate the tweed. I have a SM & my hand stitching is ok.

Any ideas?

there are a few ideas on here

a piece of fabric like that would make a lovely little coin purse -you could get one of those purse frames and attach the fabric, or just do a sort of rectangle with a zip at the top, or how about a phone/ipod pouch or even a Kindle case if she has one - although you might need to add some other fabric.

I made this with recycled wool. I think the inside is a tweed (too cold and lazy to get out of bed to check). What about something like this using the tweed as the pockets

I have loved this bag, perfect size for me.

a tweed bird would be nice like this one folksy.com/items/3795530-Pink-Tweed-Robin-Card-Decoration If you sew a loop on it it would look lovely hanging from a cupboard handle
