Tha Shona Masson a’cur roimhpe gun a bhi tilgeil na h-uiread chun na sitig, ach rudan innteanach ùra a chruthachadh leis – agus airgiod a chosnadh do charthannas a toradh a saothair.

Tha i a’dèanamh air Steòrnabhagh le seacaid bhealbhaid agus dubhailte tartain a cheannaich i ann am bùth Shelter. As dèidh còmhstri le inneal fuaigheil fada na bharail fhèin, tha Shona Nic’Illfhialain ag atharrachadh cruth na dha, gu bad aodaich leòmach, fasanta. Air ais a Ghlaschu le Shona Masson, an làn dòchais gun tèid aig a bhùth charthannais a reic air prìs nas àirde na phàigh ise.
Tha i cuideachd a’dèanamh dìtheanan sgeadachail a pasgan shampallan aodaich, agus cuiseanan le seann gheansaidhean.

Shona Masson is on a mission not only to reduce waste and create exciting new things but also to raise some money for charity while she does it. She heads up to Stornoway with a velvet jacket and tartan runner she bought in Shelter.

After some issues with a temperamental sewing machine, Shona MacLellan transforms the jacket and runner into a stylish top. The other Shona then takes it back down to sell in the charity shop in Glasgow – hopefully for a higher price than the original two items cost.

Shona also makes some decorative flowers using fabric sample books and some cushions from jumpers she bought in a charity shop.
