I have been making Harris Tweed bags for eight years now, and have very much enjoyed selling at the SAAAF. However, I am now winding down, and have set myself two goals – to make simpler shapes, and to use up my many off-cuts of wool and tweed! So this year you will see bags in which I have combined smaller pieces of fabric, patchwork style. It has been an enjoyable challenge to find enough co-ordinating pieces to create a pleasing design, but Harris Tweed is very forgiving and it is surprising which colours work well together in the finished product. I hope you agree. So my intention is that this will be my final year at the Festival. However, I still have an intimidating amount of fabric to use up, so you might just (maybe) see me again next year!
