Insight into making Harris Tweed Bags

 

This is the most exiting part designing the bag and making preparations also remembering to cut out all the different parts!

One of my most recent designs are these ‘on trend’ stylish 6oz hip flasks finished with beautiful traditional and modern Harris Tweeds. Equally at home in the pocket of a traditional hunting jacket or the backpack of younger reveller in funky festival wellies, these hip flasks span all generations and style trends, to make a great accompaniment on anyone’s outdoor get-together this Year of Natural Scotland.

Hope's High... Poem

Hope's high but winds are higher
and so on to the next day
in this world of wonders and
unsolved mysteries of
yesterday's long gone by
so we believe for hope of a tomorrow

Winter2010 on the Isle of Skye

Hi,
As this is my first blog - please bear with me! I live on the Isle of Skye with my lovely family where we are enjoying beautiful weather just now.

I should be out enjoying this weather but it is about time I started to do this!


I work most days in our family computer business. In my spare time I make Harris Tweed Bags, Hats and Accessories which I love doing and the rest of the time I enjoy being with my 6 beautiful grandchildren, two of whom I am teaching to knit just now they are only 5 and 6 and are doing extremely well. They are both knitting a teddy bear for the youngest addition to the clan who is only 4 months.

Look at the concentration!!

 

All four showing some of my knitted goodies!!

I forgot to mention above that I am an avid knitter and having been knitting since I was about 6 also.

This is a brief view of what I also love doing since I discovered Harris Tweed - obviously I love WOOL

Hope you enjoy this brief tour of my work.

 

Well, I think I should go and make some more - or enjoy this fantastic day although it is a bit cold to start on the gardening - maybe only an excuse!!

 

The great weather does make you feel better - have just finished publishing my new website - check it out on www.harristweedbags.co.uk

 

Now I am going for a walk to enjoy the weather.

 

Next blog I will post some photos of Skye
