Mini hexagoner/ learning to sew mini hexies

Började fundera på hur små sexkanter jag kan sy. Tyckte ju först att mina 1/2inch var väldigt små. Fick ett infall och tog fram de papper med 1/4inch sexkanter som jag har när jag skissar på layoutideer.

I started to wonder how small hexagon flowers I could make. I tought the 1/2 inch was small. Then I desided to try 1/4 inch.






 Efter lite funderingar kring hur jag skulle få fast tyget runt så tog jag fram min sewline penna (lim för tråckling). Genom att dutta på lim i kanterna och sen placera mallen på gick det hyfsat smidigt. Sen är det bara att vika in en sida i taget.

Had to do some thinking and then try a little. I found out that I had no problems at all making these and they are just as addictive as the regular sized ones. By gluing the edges of the hexie first and then place the paper ontop and fold  over the fabric over it was a real treat making them.



Här visar jag exempel på de små hexagonerna jag håller på med och de pyttesmå som jag just börjat med.

Here for comparison is some examples of the 1/2 inch and one tiny 1/4 inch.
Tyckte att de var så söta att jag valde att göra ett litet halsband av två st hexagoner. För att få rätt tyngd så har jag sytt in ett mynt i mitten.

After I made two I made a pendant out of them by placing them togheter right sides out and stiched the edges. I put a coin in there to to make it hang ok. I really like this neklace!







 Det var så roligt att jag snabbt sytt upp flera stycken. Så det blir nog ett mini täcke till!

It was so easy and so much fun i started making more so I guess I will make a tiny hexagon quilt as well. I just have to figure out the design.

  1. Darling little hexies! Love your idea of making a pendant necklace out of two of them... adding the coin for weight is brilliant! Thank you for sharing. [I'm visiting from WIP linky party].
