tweed
our charity/thrift shop is not known for its range of cut fabric, normally the closet you get to that is a duvet cover or old manky blanket, but yesterday as if by magic, I found this,
A lovely piece of Harris Tweed! I couldn’t believe it, it has a few tiny moth holes, and a worn edge where it was folded, but other than that, it is lovely : )
So this is going to be used in a new cushion cover, as I have two pieces of our screen printed fabric, this one with the tweed is going to be used with the one darker stemmed version we printed.
Hope to have something to show you later : )

what a find! The label is pretty amazing too – a nice little piece of history!
