In my swap group (Australia only) we decided to try swapping some hexagons, so with a quick spin of my pins, I found this cute little pouch made using 1″ hexagons and decided that I would make a Hexie Pouch!

This is how I did it:

I collected my hexies from the swap, cut some papers on my newly acquired Accuquilt Go and started basting.

In no time at all I had them done and had fun ‘playing with positions’

 

Following the diagram given, I arranged my hexies and started joining them with a whip stitch.

As I used paper templates and not wadding/stiffening, I needed to use my hexie shape to cut out a layer of Vilene.

I then removed all of my papers and popped them away for next time.

Next I opened the edges not stitched and pressed them open.

I then cut a lining to match the opened shape and pressed the vilene to the back of the hexie shape.

Then it was off to the machine where I stitched around the edge leaving a space to turn it through.

I then clipped the corners and turned it through to the right side.

Time to stitch the opening closed.  I use ladder stitch to do this.

I then  pressed it well and using ladder stitch, joined it up to form the pouch.  I added a snap press for closure.

How cute is that!!  Thank you Maria-Cecelia-Mora, I love your little pouch and I love mine too!

 

Now to decide what to make with our next Hexie Swap………

Until next time
