Hexiecase

Before we headed off on holiday I (just) managed to get my June blocks for the SMQ Bee finished and in the post. One of the blocks was for my lovely Bee mate Martha, who takes the most wonderful photographs, if you haven't come across her blog before it is definitely worth checking out.


Sewing Hexiecase

Martha came up trumps in the Crafty Cooks Swap, when a swapper let her partner down, so this was my chance to repay her in a small way for her generosity. A sewing-themed Hexiecase, as I know that a girl can never have too many pouches :)

The pattern for the case is by Amy from During Quiet Time and is available in her Etsy shop. The pouch is really straightforward to put together and is a great way to use up fabric scraps. I made life harder for myself by using fusible fleece for the interfacing, which made attaching the hexagons at each end more of a challenge, but other than that it was a dream to make.


Hexie double

This is the third Hexiecase I have made and they have all been a cinch to put together. The blue one in the photo above is currently in use as my make-up bag. It holds a deceptively large amount for its' size.  Fortunately,  it was not in the vanity case when it came into contact with the crane :)

So this is my Friday Finish which I am linking up to Crazy Mom Quilts

  7. I really like the shape of these pouches, Fiona. Not only do they look great, but the zipper's not attached to the corners, which sometimes makes it hard to get nice corners. As always, I like your fabric choices.

  18. Great case selection :o) BTW, if you use fusible fleece, cut it out without seam allowances, it'll all go together nicely then :o)
