Uses for Excess Tartan Material

[Wompet]

Commission a Thorfinn sporran.

No, Turpin needs at least an 8"x8" swatch to work his magic.

You could make a lapel and cuffs for your favorite more formal kilt jacket. Evidently some makers of the newly invented Welsh surname tartans are doing this, but that need be no barrier.

There is a history of tartan lapels for mess jackets, so it wouldn't be without earlier precedent.

Similarly, you could add tartan to the cuff and tail button flaps of a Prince Charlie, in the Welsh style.

I've made a dog collar out of some leftover PV, and a pincushion as well (Elsie was always telling us not to throw away our loose and cut off threads, so they became the filling).

All good idea's, how about a small tartan table flag!

Use it on a kilt jacket!

Put it on the cuffs of a Prince Charlie



Or the pocket flaps of an argyle jacket!
