Have been trying to come up with new ideas of light jackets for summertime, but since I’m due to go to Australia in the next couple of months, I have started working as barmaid at my local pub, to save some pennies.  I haven't had much chance to design or make anything, and the shop I sell my things at in Edinburgh is almost out of stock!  Wishing there was more hours in the day!!

So the little time I do have, I’ve managed to design and make a couple of things.  Harris tweed was ordered to make 2 little crop style jackets.  These jackets were inspired by my red chinese jacket that I always wore when I was a student and I haven't been able to bring myself to chuck it out - even though it doesn't fit anymore and is now ripped - it just has so many good memories!  So once I had made them both, I ran over to my good friend Sue, to model them - and what a great model too!!

Below is the original design and the final garments:
