Several people have suggested that I make tweed doorstops so I have made a handful to try out this year...
this one is made in MacLeod Tartan (I only have 2 tartans the rest of the patterns are plaids) and has a thick black felt bottom which will be very hard wearing. I have filled it with wheat and a little bit of wadding to pad it out. The wheat is in a zip lock bag so it doesn't get damp if the doorstop is placed on a damp floor.
I never really saw the point in doorstops myself but apparently they are very popular and essential, especially if you live in an old house with heavy doors! I now have one propping open my workroom door and grudgingly have to admit that they are quite useful as well as being a nice decorative addition to the home!
I am working on some other new products and will be launching them all this summer so fingers crossed people will want to buy them!
Nice addition - lovely fabric!x
