With my new love of EPP my little Hexie's needed a take along bag. So out came the graph paper, the sharpies and I went to town.....I knew I wanted a place for my paper pieces, finished hexies, thread, pins, needles, thread heaven, thimble, seam ripper, the WIP and some extra fabric.
Yikes that is a lot of stuff to squish into a small bag!!!!!
Oh yeah, I need my scissors too! Can't live without those babies! I also wanted it to zip, not tie closed, so my stuff would not fall out. Those scissors and thimble cost a pretty penny!
Here is a pic of my drawings....a bit messy.....I had lots of ideas, the finished item doesn't even look like this.
Inside. I made a clear pocket so I could see my paper pieces and finished ones too!! So happy with how the zipper came out. Somehow when I measured, I decided I needed at least a 27 inch zipper. I bought this 30 inch separating zipper which worked perfect.
My scissors are on a ribbon so I don't lose them if they fall out of the bag. I had to reinforce the pouch with craft pellon so my tips will not cut through the bag.....hoping this works!!
I have never made a tutorial or a pattern but I would try. What do you think? Anyone interested??
Like my thimble? I picked it up at the Road to California Quilt Show a couple years ago. Hand made sterling silver. Love it!!!
I would love to hear any ideas or see what you use to tote your hexies around town....
My next UFO project to work on is this mini quilt. I have the top all done and now need some ideas on how best to quilt it. It does have A LOT of seams to go through and I am already worrying about the needle breakage I am going to have. Any suggestions?? Each triangle set was 3/4 unfinished thangles. I still haven't pulled off all the bits of papers on the back. I guess I have been intimidated and that is the reason it is sitting around.....
Off to decorate the Christmas tree. Happy Sewing, K
