I remembered Edinburgh Fabrics as...Thank you Susan. I remembered Edinburgh Fabrics as being quite 'cheap and cheerful' when I was growing up (i.e. over 40 years ago!), but I had heard good things about it recently so paid a visit on my last trip to Edinbugh. I didn't buy any tweed, but did head back south with a rather heavier suitcase than I had taken north. That purchase is also marinating in the stash, but I recently found the perfect pattern for making it up. Now I just need the time!Black Tuliphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00399472362773743743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4102653746369917661.post-29053547393075389072021-08-23T12:22:42.528+01:002021-08-23T12:22:42.528+01:00Love the "Marinate in the stash."

We stayed at a hotel in Edinburgh not so far from Jenners. Didn't actually go in but admired it from the outside. It was a rainy day (when isn't it?) and we walked down to the New Market area as I wanted to check out Edinburgh fabrics and buy some Harris Tweed. The tweed has since become a carcoat with matching tote bag and a blazer (haven't got the courage yet to tackle the skirt, trying to find something in a pattern that won't make me look as big as I am LOL.) Please keep posting your lovely makes and discoveries. All the best. Susan Snowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15037437999317896232noreply@blogger.com
