Lighting Effects

I love the light you get first thing in the morning at this time of year. We had mist yesterday morning and today, that fantastic light that seems to magnify all the colours of the landscape - the sheep across the road look positively glowing!

The work on the 'tweedie' i-phone cover has been going well (thanks for all the encouragement!) and yesterday I completed a finished version, and while I was in full swing attempted a smaller version for use as a mobile phone/cell phone cover. And, amazingly it worked! Well, it fits my phone perfectly and can always be adjusted to fit different sizes.

I've been busy taking some pics of my current stocks of Harris Tweed this morning. Many of the bright primary colours, you will probably be familar with, as I use them in my 'softies'. I also have a very small stock of plaids/checks which would be attractive for using in my phone/gadget pouches. I've already been using these in my soft furnishings, where I think they look really effective.

I'll probably be popping the gadget pouches (in two sizes) into my Etsy shop, where they will be listed as a custom order. The colours of tweed available will hopefully be illustrated in the listing - well that's the plan!!

The price of the gadget pouches are probably going to be higher than I would have wished for, but there is a considerable amount of handsewing involved (I like to make a rod for my own back!). I would consider them as being a very opulent kind of pouch, that might get a few Oooohs and Ahhhhs of approval at the Dinner table! They both feel lovely to handle though, and the simple shape makes the most of the texture of the fabric. Well, that's Harris Tweed for you :)

P.S. My supply of button blanks have arrived and are now available to order in my Tweed Delights Etsy shop.
