It's nice to have a small project to do while on vacation, or even just sitting outside enjoying the weather. This little hexie pincushion is a fun little project. I first saw it on facebook and fell in love with it. This pattern is part of the Sew Over The Rainbow quilt along hosted by Victoriana Quilt Designs. You can check it out on her
Facebook Page. The FREE pattern can be found
HERE.... Benita, Thank you for the great pattern, it's adorable when finished and you can never have too many pincushions. It would also make a cute little gift for one of your quilting buddies. So here is my spin on her awesome pattern....
|
I printed up the pattern and traced out the hexie just as it printed up. You could make this
cute little project with just about any size hexie. |
|
Using the hexie template I cut out several foundation papers out of a paper bag. It's a great way to recycle an old paper bag! |
|
Cut fabric a 1/4" or so bigger than the hexie shape.... |
|
Wrap your fabric around and pin using sequin pins.
(They are tiny) |
|
My hexies are all ready to piece together. I am using three
different fabrics from the 'Gallery in Red' fabric line from Marcus Brothers. |
|
Sewing using tiny little stitches.... right sides together.
|
|
Here's the layout to form the pincushion. |

Remember this cute little hexie project from last year? My tutorial for this project can be found HERE. |
