A Hexie Flatware Pouch for the Across The Pond Sew Along
In my last post, I shared photos of some little hexagons I made using a mini charm pack of Glamping by Moda.
My mom was quite taken with the cute little 1" hexies, so I decided to use a few of them to make something for her. But what should I make???
I turned to a comment by T
he Patchsmith for inspiration. In my post for this month's
Across the Pond Sew Along, Amanda suggested using a single cutlery pouch for a breakfast tray or a Mother's Day present.
{Brilliant! No need to make an entire set!}
I made up a single one-of-a-kind pouch, just as a special gift for my mom... for no reason at all.
I chose three of the prettiest hexies, and used white Kona cotton as a glamorous backdrop.
I stitched around each hexie by machine. So easy, actually!!!
{I shortened the stitch length to 2.0 on my sewing machine.}
For the lining of the flatware pouch, I selected a piece of Sunshine Roses by Tanya Whelan. I love the aqua polka dots in the background.
This little flatware pouch will brighten any day, don't you think?
Enjoy, Mom!
