My holiday sewing of, not only choice, but necessity, was the beginnings of my Hexie sewing bag. Armed with my pre-cut papers, and a small bundle of fabric, I spent about an hour each evening on this project.
My romantic dreams of sewing by the pool were dashed by the need for us to constantly watch the 3 little monsters doing their best impressions of drowning (and waving), and not allowing us a second of 'looking away'. So between their bedtime and dark, I managed this...
...then yesterday this...
One side complete, and the other should be easy-peasy quick now we are home. Then for the actual 'bag' bit. I want to get some grey or cream perle cotton for some hand stitching, making this a real 'first' for me. I am waiting on some fabric from the US that I am hoping will be great for the lining, and I'll be off 'pinning' any handle-attaching options I can see!
I've got to admit, hexies are so cool!
Love it, love it! Beautiful! Gorgeous! Fabrics too lovely for words!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your progress....
wow, you have done some serious hexing there! I am catching up on mine a bit today, but its slow going!
ReplyDeleteOh lord, I am almost dreading the arrival of the Go! Baby and me thinking that cutting hexies is a good idea. What am I getting myself into?? Yours look beautiful though. I like everyone else's, just not sure I want to add another thing to my list. After all, I jumped on Sarah/Jennifer's QAL bandwagon today without a second thought. As did you!
ReplyDeletei need to figure these things out! bad!
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how we have such high hopes when heading out on vacation or for a weekend...It looks like you got a ton done. The bag is going to be fantastic!
