Bag of Tricks...

Now in case you haven't noticed, I like to be efficient.  So wanting a sewing bag, for those trips to the beach or more likely just to haul about looking cool, (hey, that's me all over!), longing to get started on a creation for the hexie frenzy created by Lynne and Gayle, and needing a portable project for my sewing machine-free times, guess what...

A hexagon sewing bag!!

I have gathered together my fabrics (including some of the lovely remnants from Sarah's Bee Blocks, thanks lovey), cut about 150 2" hexagons templates using printed sheets from Incomptech, and got myself all sorted for when the time comes...


I'm thinking that I would like to make one with wooden handles; I saw an old one in the local antique shop last week and it got me pondering...

  2. I love the greeny blue colours here in the fabric you've chosen - whatever you make is going to be very gorgeous!

  3. I love that even the note book and the needle book match the fabrics - is your OCD showing a little bit? So is "A hexagon sewing bag" a sewing bag made from the hexies? Or a bag to have the hexi project in?

  5. A hexie bag for carrying your hexie project around sounds delightful - I haven't quite started this hexalong project yet but want to...maybe I could start with a bag too!

    Your colours/fabrics are lovely

  6. Great idea, looking forward to seeing it finished. I have one like the top picture that my Mum made me years ago for knitting. Nice fabric too!

  7. You've got me thinking now too! My hexagons are living in zip lock bags and I'm suddenly feeling the need for a pretty hexagon bag to keep them in :)

  8. I'm hexing as part of my scrap busting. Who knows what they will end up as.

    I am finally catching up on Rhondas podcast as was laughing loads at her trying to pronounce Leicestershire and Worcestershire! Very naughty of you but great fun....

  10. Could this be the first "pinning" on your blog? Have you succumbed to the wicked ways of pinterest?

    The second one is gorgeous though. And very "do-able", with a little ric-rac and some luck :-) (or skill, in your case).

  13. Way to be prepared (ahem, former Girl Guide, perhaps?). I have never hexied, but the day I begin is fast approaching, I fear.
