Great purse that I've been wanting
to make for awhile.
I showed Des the pattern and
we (she) immediately gave sewing hexagon
s on the machine a try.
It worked out great.
The Charming Hexagons Tote Bag
pattern is by Sherri McConnell
of A Quilting Life.
Des has gone
on to make quite a few of these totes.
I haven't made one yet.
I finally, begged her to make this one for me!
Thank you!
I love the hexagons,
the length of the straps, the size.
Love it!
It's made out of 39 - 5" squares,
and some fabric for the lining,
handles and fusible fleece.
You can cut the hexagons out on an
Accquilt with the hexagon die or cut by hand.
I know Des has done both ways.
I have a few kits in the store,
if you want a super cute tote for Spring.
The kit includes everything you need.
There are also patterns in the store.
What a cute bag! I don't know if I'd be up to the challenge of the hexies, but it's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI lve the look of the hexies on this bag!
ReplyDeletelovely!! how big are the hexies?? 2" ?? I'm making 3" complicated ones and a purse would be SEW cute
ReplyDeletesuch a sweet pattern and aren't hexies easier to sew on the machine! awesome line for this bag!
ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderful design. Very cute.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. I have never tried hexagons on the sewing machine, so far I have done them all with EPP. Last year I made 4 bags by hand which each used 60 hexagons each. I found it rather addictive.
ReplyDeleteVery fun... and a spring tote is a perfect idea!
ReplyDeleteLove the tote! It turned out so cute.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI just love anything with Amy Butler fabric!! Your bag is adorable. I doubt I'll ever use hexies, but I would use charm squares. That is a bag I would carry! Thanks for sharing. (I bought several things a long time back, from your ebay. It's nice to have you sending emails)
