In the sewing room...Hexagon Tutorial

Temp at 9am was -25C, though it feels like -39C with the wind-chill...
Over night the temp is to be -28C, though it feels like -40C with the wind-chill...
Time for Spring time weather!!!

So I did do some things in the sewing room today! I prepared a small tutorial on how I do my hexagons... I think it was Faith that wanted to know different ways, though this is the only way I have attempted hexagons thus far... 8-)

My way was learned from my very first quilting lessons on hand piecing.

Photo 1.)
My scrap, hex template, and pencil.

Photo 2.)
I trace out my hex on the backside of the fabric.

Photo 3.)
I cut out my hex approximately 1/4" from the drawn lines.

Photo 4.)
You have your hexagon all cut out...








Photo 5.)
Glasses is a must (for me), a couple of small pins, a small needle, and beige or light grey thread. Put 2 hexagons together good sides facing.

I shall continue the tute tomorrow...

Till then...
