Some more `makes`

I made this Thistle cushion cover using an upcycled Ikea cushion cover, pieces from my grandaughter`s felted hoodie again, some little bits of Harris Tweed and a pretty piece of tartan. I also added some frou-frou feathers and the cutest little tartan hearts which I inset with some vintage buttons - I think it looks more like a pineapple than a thistle!
I loved the turquoise bead which was the inspiration for the colour scheme of this Harris Tweed Heart which is also filled with lavender from my garden.
I just loved the herringbone pattern of this piece of Harris Tweed which I made into a heart and the self-coloured Harris Tweed complements it perfectly. I added a cute little thistle too. The heart is also lavender -filled.

Some of my `makes`

My little tartan and Harris Tweed Heart I made this from my grandaughter`s cute little Boden hoodie which my daughter-in-law shrunk in a hot wash so I didn`t need to felt it myself!
A little blue Harris Tweed Heart filled with lavender from my garden and with blue tartan on the reverse
I loved making this Harris Tweed Purse. It`s lined inside with the loveliest Liberty Print and I also added a cute tartan pouch for your lippie! I gave it away last week as a `swap`.
I really enjoyed making this Reversible Cafetiere Cosy. It`s got a lovely Laura Ashley duck egg blue and black gingham check on the reverse
