I have wanted to do hexies but (insert excuse here) have just never gotten around to it.
I have collected thick card stock for most of this year, you know the flyers that come in the mail.
 |
| strip cut at 2 1/2 inches then die cut shapes! way to GO |
 |
| I die cut fabric templates and then scissor cut sets of 6 from chunks of scraps |
 |
| I actually Googled several tutorials to figure out how was best for me to construct the flower. |
 |
| I used black thread- so I could see my stitches. Basted on the back. Whip Stitched the edges together. I am beyond thrilled that I have started a new future WIP! |
I finally have a take along project that doesn't need the whole trunk of the car to transport. Hexies are on the schedule for September, I hope to see several movie nights so I can justify sitting and hand sewing. Wish me luck! cw
