Create Pretty Hexies without Hand Sewing
This Technique is Great for Pouches, Totes and Much More!
Do you love hexies but dislike the hand-sewing that’s involved in creating them? This clever idea recreates the look without hand sewing.
Simply fuse hexies to a background and sew around each one with a decorative stitch that mimics the look of hand-sewing. Voila. Beautiful hexies.
This is an easy way to dress up just about anything. The pouch shown here is a lovely example. Or consider creating a “hexie” tote, table mat and much more.
The process was developed by Debbie at Happy Little Cottage. She uses Heat n Bond to fuse the hexies to a background.
